Once upon time

"Everything in the universe is light, beauty and love"

 

"Love is always patient and kind; it is never jealous, love is never boastful or conceited; it is never rude or selfish; it does not take offense, and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins but delights in the truth; it is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes. Love does not come to an end"

it’s been a long time since the last episode of the diary, those who enjoyed reading my adventure please forgive me…

meanwhile I had some difficult and demanding trainings with Mr. Poo; his method supposes a great physical force, both on the client’s side and the one who gives the massage;

I started to like Buddhist hymns I read in the morning and at the end of the classes; the most difficult part was the position, after finishing the singing, I had to move the sole with my hand, that terrible the pain was in the toes

at this time, I believe that this is the best method to get an efficient initial unlocking, at physical and energetic level; I say initial because at a first stage, the body of a client with many tensions is almost like a stone and a more appropriate approach is necessary…; later on, the treatment can be continued with other easier and more gentle methodsessent ially, the work on energetic lines

Mr. Poo teaches about 17 such lines, the movements being very similar to those in the classic Nuad; in his conception (perfectly checked in reality, on me for example), along the life, in the body, there appear all kinds of displacements of the tendons and nerves from their ideal, initial positions; these displacements generate tensions, pains, spasms etc in the body; moreover, above them, the fasces with their protective role get more rigid, becoming very tough.

you simply act intensively on the fasces for “breaking” them and making them flexible again, and after that you pass to replacing the tendons and the nerves in their initial positions; in reality, this means a pain which many time is beyond the limits of endurance …

I didn’t manage to finish the whole lecture with Mr. Poo because of lack of time, but I’m looking forward to continuing it as soon as possible; it’s the style which convinced me most in terms of effectiveness and I’ll go deeper into it till the end…

meanwhile, I got home, in Iasi, for a couple of weeks…lot of work, a cold determined by the sudden change of the climate ….

now I am on my way to Nepal ………

There is an answer for everybody

Author: Sorinel Balan

In every man’s life there are moments when he searches a solution to come out from a difficult situation, maybe it is about his health or the health of someone close to him, maybe it is about an emotional or a family problem. Most of us prefer to let things solve by themselves or be solved by God; others go to their fellow man: the priest, the doctor, the therapist, the clear-sighted, the neighbour etc.
There are some people who conduct a daily spiritual practice and they receive, as revelations, the solutions they need, when they reach the state of inner peace, (although these persons do not have problems in general) like, for example, chinese taoists. They succeed to maintain self harmony, harmony with God and everything that surrounds them. Living a temperate life they seek that blood PH not to become acid, they choose the place where they lay down their head to rest, they govern their energy properly not allowing unnecessary loses, how it happens in all conflicts.

As we work and carry on our daily activities we are most of the time focused on the outside and less time focused on the inside, in this way we consume a lot of energy.
Every morning we can spend some minutes to make an auto-evaluation, verifying the level of our resources: we check our state of mind. We can ask ourselves as we awake: Am I cheerful, is my willing to live on a higher level?
After that we put our hands on the abdomen, on the umbilical cord. If our hands get warm quickly it means we have a good reserve of strength and we can face some difficult negotiations.
And if the answer is positive when we ask ourselves : “Does my smile compare today with Gioconda’s smile?”, then we surely are going to have a good day.
And if it happens not to be satisfied with our look, we can practice some simple equilibration techniques on the energies of our system: controlled breathing exercises, relaxing, active and passive meditation, energy balance with metals.

so, nobody wants to ask me about my smiling declaration of love …; that’s fine, I keep on saying it early in the morning, with excellent results – peace of mind, good mood, trust in life and in the destiny’s decisions …

on the other hand, one more school I went to, the class for beginners at Sunshine massage school, the only school managed by a Westerner. It is here that one of the few Westerners (maybe the only one) considered to be a master in Nuad, known on his Buddhist name Asokananda, taught. Unfortunately, a few years ago he passed in another dimensions.

the school is nice, more appropriate for Westerners, with a 10 days schedule for beginners. Concerning the movements, these are very close to ITM, with a few characteristics. My instructor was brought up in Bangkok, in an official school, under the patronage of the government. At an official level, according to my instructor’s sayings, they try a synthesizing of knowledge in the field of Nuad and its harmonization with the accomplishments in the Western world. It’s hard to say if it’s good or not, time will decide.

and, not to waste time, today I started to train with Mr. Poo, the guy who “tortured” me most during a massage class. As the saying goes, you have to know the movements of the “enemy” to be able to win… The first day was fine, I sat on my knees directly on the wooden floor, half an hour in the morning and another half in the afternoon, sang Buddhist hymns, learnt how to prepare the lotus flowers for the homage devoted to the Master and other divinities; the thing with the flowers is very scrupulous and takes more than half an hour to fold the lotus petals circularly, in three movements until you get in the middle of the flower…

the idea is that, by analyzing the conformation of the fingers and the toes, you can say quite precisely, what are the problems the respective person is suffering with and how old they are – pains in the back, legs, neck, head, etc.

in the near future I’ll try to summarize some of my conclusions and the feelings related to Nuad, resulted from my experience until now……

One more week is gone and with it another lecture; I have an impressing collection of diplomas and soon I’ll have a real pile. Now I am a little bit experienced in a kind of special massage. the effects on the health, as I said, are remarkable.

A delicate experience and really hard to accept at the beginning was to serve as model for the practical demonstration during the class. I blushed as fire of course, but I finally had to climb on the table and to expose the sensitive areas to the audience – an extremely hard to bear experience for my own ego. But this is how people calm down their pride and learn to be more humble. it is true that all my colleagues had to do the same, both sexes being represented on the table.

Here I met a Russian instructor, Iuryi, who teaches different techniques in the Tao system. And as my passion for everything which is connected to the Russian space preserved as intense as some years ago, I started intensively speaking Russian with him and also took some Chi Kung and Tai Chi classes. Today I finish a Chi Kung technique, “The iron shirt”, which is quite difficult (my feet are shaking after the class) but very efficient. Tomorrow I start a Tai Chi lecture with him, in the system promoted by master Chia.
I forgot to tell you some things about another expert in Nuad, master Poo. I was given some massage by him as well, and except for the inherent catastrophic pains, I had no regret. Master Poo is able to diagnostic energetic problems after the structure of the fingers and toes, after the manner you raise your hands or move your feet. He can see the energetic lines in the body and identifies the areas where energy is blocked. He acts profoundly upon these areas, especially upon the fasces, linking tissues which often become rigid because of the blockings and do not allow energies to run freely. Moreover he moves back the muscles and the nerves (and even the bones) which changed their place. In my case he moved:

- a muscle with a complicate name from the right haunch;

- a nerve which was moving freely in the area of the cervical spine, as it was out of its place; he put this nerve back at its place with his finger, and especially with his nail.

- the cervical vertebrae 7 and 6 with a few millimeters;  he did this only by working on muscles and tendons, with minimum direct interventions upon the spine

well, this is all for now, see you in a while …

otherwise, everything is fine and interesting, a lot of work here, pain with every step, but the progress can be felt, both as practice and as improvement of my own physical and spiritual condition.

I’ve been here at Tao Garden for 2 weeks now, a beautiful place full of energy. I already studied 2 levels from the abdominal massage, Chi Nei Tsang, with Mantak Chia, the creator of the Universal Tao system. He is a special man and I think he had a great courage when he broke down the wall of the secret around the Taoist system, which had been transmitted until him from master to disciple, in small groups or individually. He made this information public for the occidental world and thus I had access to it. The two weeks confirmed to me what I already understood, that working around the abdominal area is special and the effects, both at the psychic and physical level, are often fascinating. You know our expression about the navel as “the hub of the universe”…; in this case the hub is considered the centre of the whole organism, from it radiate physical and energetic links towards all the parts of our body. Thus, by working in the umbilical area, effects are transmitted wherever necessary; moreover an impressing quantity of emotional stress accumulated in the abdominal area is released; I saw with my eyes people who started crying or laughing hysterically only after a few movements in that area …

 a funny confession, but extremely serious – one of the most important things I learnt here is belching; it sounds rude and embarrassing, maybe, but it is very healthy. The practical explanation is that very often, our intestines are overpopulated with intestinal gas which cannot be eliminated; after massaging the abdomen, the respective movements manage to stimulate the gases which start moving throughout the intestines; after this, with some help from the masseur or even by yourself, you can eliminate them on the mouth or on the other end. the result? soft intestines, with plenty of space for the food and more suitable for digestion, less constipation, some signs on the body and on the face (acne, etc) disappear.

 today I started a new class, Karsai Nei Tsang, massage of the sexual area; I think for some readers questions will be raised, but I will get back with details in the following diary…; and it is today also that I found out that the state of California, the richest American state, just officially legislated this type of massage, considering it useful for health and not only …

 and a couple of photos with myself...
