I will now meditate more in full lotus. I just did a couple hours yesterday up north but that was just a start. Meditating in the mini-forest is much better since I am off-grid and without many distractions.
new Qi-talk by qigong master Chunyi Lin
What your mind wants and what your HEART wants - there's a big difference. I really want you to pay attention to your heart when you make a decision. When this is what your mind wants usually it comes from your ego, your emotions, your fear, your judgment. What you try to do is try to feed your ego when you achieve it. But it's not necessarily doing you good.
How do I know something is good? Something connected to your spirit, not to your emotions, which will do you good, which will help to make your life work.
Theoretically when you do qigong you move qi and open up the channels. We have illnesses because there are blockages in the body, as long as you can open up the energy channels and transform, the body heals. This is important to remember. Qi is DIFFERENT than energy. Energy is mostly on the material level like lightning that you can see and feel. Qi is different, from the material level it is a force then it ALSO has consciousness. It has intelligence and that is very important to remember.
You wake up the intelligence in the body which has the power to reBUILD a healthy body...as long as you open up the energy blockages. Well there is something qigong can not do. If that blockage is overly too strong and the Light-Force is already gone and there's a huge mess in the body and there's no way to reverse the situation...
So instead I sit in full lotus at the computer and then send energy into the interwebs Matrix. haha.
How do you distinguish between regenerative and sustainable design? by Daniel C. Wahl youtube vid
So yes I was told that it's a shame I am cutting my trees down in the Mini-Forest but at least I am doing it sustainably. I do not know if that is true but I am trying.
When I cut the Willow yesterday then I just cut one or two trees out of each cluster of Willow. So then it really can not be seen that the Willow is missing much. And Willow is already growing back from when I cut it for the tipi in 2017 and the hut in 2019 summer.
Also the Alder is growing back and then when I do cut the trees there is more sun for the trees left to grow faster to get bigger.
Biologist Daniel C. Wahl book on Designing Regenerative Cultures book preview
Cool he has a forward from David Orr - who used to teach at my Alma Mater if I remember correctly - UW-Madison?
He is the author of seven books, including Down to the Wire: Confronting Climate Collapse and co-editor of three others. In the past twenty-five years he has served as a board member or adviser to ten foundations and on the Boards of many organizations including the Rocky Mountain Institute and the Aldo Leopold Foundation. David will close out the conference with a message of how our work in building a land ethic through education and conservation efforts brings hope and inspiration for our shared future.

So he mentions Galileo. Arnold Pacey points out that Galileo got funded by the Aristocracy because Galileo argued he could cut down on Labor Costs for the Aristocracy!

So his latest blog post is on Joanna Macy. I was just perusing her book at the used book store! She was into Buddhist meditation.
Also Vandana Shiva - I just recommend her in my blogpost comment reply!
So in view of Regenerative local ecological economies - I had just discovered a Community Supported Agriculture farm in southern Minnesota - half their farm is devoted to Shiitake shrooms. But they do not have any new info so I'm not sure if they're still active. I posted a comment on their blog. So I'll look to see if I got a response.
Fungi farmers: Corporate careers left for pursuit of mushrooms ...
Jun 27, 2010 — Herbal Turtle Farms currently has over 1000 oak and ironwood logs dedicated to growing primarily shiitake mushrooms, as well as oyster
Nope my comment did not get posted and their last blog post is 2013 - so maybe the farm is not active anymore? their facebook is also not updated.

I did a CSA internship in 1997 so I know it is very hard work.
But it depends on what their business model is - the owner said it was important for him to have down time also. haha.
So here is the latest vid upload from Daniel Christian Wahl
So the culture he is talking about is the SAME culture that Wade Davis was initiated into for his anthropology work.
https://magazine.calpoly.edu/spring-summer-2018/cultivating-change-guayaki-21-years-later/
Wow this person Alex Pryor that Wahl is interviewing - he started the Guayakí Yerba Mate business! Yeah I bought that stuff several times - big bags of it. It's a great caffeine healthy drink
At 85 mg of caffeine per cup, yerba mate contains less caffeine than coffee but more than a cup of tea (4).
So what I do now is reuse the organic coffee grounds and mix in Spirulina - so it's kind of like Yerba Mate...
Alex has a deep connection to the yerba mate culture of the Guarani people with their deep ritual of the sacred fire heating the water (female) to be poured into the gourd (male) combining both with the sacred herb
This is ALCHEMY. You find it in the New World also.
Why Do you Need a Key? Guayaki.
"It sounds very hippy."...
I had this similar pun on
AWE-K-WeIrD Sigh-Lens.
Awkward Silence.
We are afraid to open the door many times, but once you open them it's just wonderful....It's the yin and yang...and we have to allow ourselves to enter into that Universal Perception of Life, that there's always this Yin and Yang and not be afraid.
Awkward Silence
What does the science say about how long a "prolonged" silence actually is before it becomes awkward for us? In many cultures, including the United States, it is just four seconds. It is even higher in other cultures based on how much any particular culture values silence.
Japanese people were happy with silences of 8.2 seconds – nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.
Oh just watch an OZU film and this is so OBVIOUS!! haha
I used to watch Ozu films all the time in my first year of college - with film critic B. Kite....
“Chinese negotiators are very, very aware that Americans like to fill silences and they are trained to stay silent and impassive because that will make the Americans uncomfortable and possibly make concessions without the Chinese having to do anything,” he says.
haha
Here we go - Alex Pryor talks about Wade Davis at 55:00 in.
So he quotes someone:
"If the Jaguar wants to disappear it will disappear and there's nothing we can do about it."For ten years I was literally a PAPER SHUFFLER as my job. So I dubbed myself Jag-Wire Claw as my nick-name because I had to flip the paper so fast like a fast Jaguar. And then I told my "manager" that I did not care if our nonprofit did not achieve anything because Mother Nature would win in the end. He had a moment of
Awe-K-WeIrD Sigh-Lens
So now Alex Pryor is talking about creating this Regenerative Certification
He did an Organic Volatile Test from James Lovelock - Electron Capture Detector...
Fascinating. Rachel Carson's Silent Spring science!
The instrument that makes that analysis possible was invented by James Lovelock. He was really a chemist and an instrument maker at a University in London, when they challenged him to make this thing called the Electron Capture Detector. And it is able to measure such minute concentrations in air that without that instrument none of the data would have been generated that was the basis of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
Daniel C. Wahl quote - amazing info!
Wow - interview with Helena Norberg-Hodge - I just promoted her also in my blogpost comment reply
Master Supol Lohachitkul has developed a combination of exercises from his extensive experience in teaching, practicing, and continuous learning of Taijiquan, Yoga, and Mediation.

No mention of the source of that exercise. oops.
Left leg on top - Yang leg embracing the Yin lower body. Neidan full lotus.
It's amazing that Chunyi Lin turns his ankle all the way upside down!!
That's called five points facing Heaven.
