Well, maybe, and maybe not. Definitions, and more definitions.

 

It might be called common sense, but it is not correct except for

the 2nd stage of competency. And there are 5 levels of competency.

 

Being in this low level of stage 2 should only be for a minute or

less. Then you go into the beginnings of the 3rd stage of

competency, which, depending on who you study with and how

kinesthetic (propioceptives) you are.

 

For start of the beginner's level, refer back to my other post.

 

Adding a small bit to that, some of the energies that need to be

connected BEFORE even a valid level 2 of competency is achieved are;

the belt line flows (all 3 of them), the Radiant Circuits (all 10 of

them), the energy in all the joints normalize, and the Central

Meridian and Governing Meridian hookup, along with the correct

hypnotic affirmations.

 

Then you might be able to get started doing that tan tien

technologies correct. Then again, " correct for what specifically? " ,

might be an interesting question.

 

One neat thing most people leave out of this tan tien technologies

is what it is NOT.

 

Might be interesting to cover that a bit also?

 

And covering it from the point of view of experience, vs talk, vs

reading might also be interesting.
