TUESDAY GONG CLASS
We experienced the Native American technique
of Shamanic Drumming up and down our spines.
The steady beat and sound returns all the cells back to
normal harmony. Our bodies are water bags!
Sound can create healing vibrations.
Explore sound in your body.
Plug your ears with your fingers
and sound a tone with your voice.
Notice how Loud it is inside your body?
This is affecting all your cells.
Singing a song you love is healing.
Chanting is healing.
Toning is healing.
If you have a cough or are getting a sore throat
find a tone that vibrates in your throat.
Sound this tone over and over for 5 minutes or so,
Your sore throat or cough will dissipate
because you opened up the meridians there
with sound vibrations.
Try saying OM....
Aaaah-ooo-uuu-mmm
Feel the vibration in your body?
Say it ten times...open your mouth wide to start with AH..
then slowly close to create the rest of OM..
How do you feel now?
The sounds RELEASE...ABSORB
on your CD were chosen purposefuly
by Dr. Pang and Master Luke Chan
to resonate healing vibrations to you
upper Dantien and Lower Dantien,
to reunite them thru tones.
Explore! Experiment!

BLUE SKY NEWSLETTER: JUNE 2010
I want to share a student's excellent question:
" What do you do if you get so mad at your self
because you keep doing something that hurts you and
not good for you and you are too weak to change and do not learn
from your mistake in a particular situation and continue doing the same
hurtful mistake over and over again that continually hurts you.
Then you become so angry and disappointed at yourself that you feel
awful for days. Have you ever experienced that? Let me know if you
have any suggestions, "
Practice Tip: You seem to be experiencing obsessive thoughts and criticizing yourself mercilessly. This feels like a painful state of being, but who is really experiencing this?
Yin and Yang Minds:
In this case seeing the sun in your Dantien is helpful.
Once you can "watch your mind"
you will see there is really nothing there
and then you can let go.
When these thoughts and emotions come,
continue to watch them from your Belly
and you will discover they come
but the also go like leaves on the surface of a river
moving downstream.
So what are Thoughts?Emotions?
They come and they go.
Maybe they are nothing.
At this time you are seeing only with emotions and thoughts
and not your Pure, Clear Being (YIN).
You are identifiying with the waves on ocean (YANG)
and forget the truth that you are the ocean.
You think these thoughts and emotions are solid and real.
On the YANG ( ego survival) plane, they seem real because you experience them and it hurts.
But on the plane of YIN they are just waves on water.
Once you learn how to "go home" within your Dantien
you will be free.
You will feel like the vast ocean and these concerns will look small
and you will know what to do or not to do.
You already see your behavior, because you wrote me this email,
This is a major step towards experiencing your YIN Being.
If you can see the problem, you are watching ,which is YIN..
Now you have the choice to change your YANG behavior.
Yang needs to cooperate with Yin.
Like a canoe on the ocean,
Yin is the canoe and Yang is the paddler.
They need to work together so you can flow
through life (ocean) and not hit the reef and capsize.
So stand quietly, correct your posture, do a body scan to relax,
and then look for your Sun turning in your Dantien..
Stay there and watch..
and you will see...
Practice this the moment the behavior occurs.
This will be your new choice.
"Thoughts will continue to arise in our mind,
but our old habit of following them and giving them power
will diminish and fall away because of our mindfulness."
- Jetsun Milarepa
"Throughout the day and the night, look at your mind.
When you are truly looking at your mind you will not see anything.
When you do not see anything, let go and relax." - Lama Rinchen, Honolulu, Hawaii
