Ren, I'm new to the blog section of curezone, so I'm not sure when you wrote that blog, if you'll get this message, or how to even read a response from you, but are you still doing the falun dafa? My boyfriend has been practicing it for around 6 years and is totally into the philosophy, he does it pretty much every day. I am trying to get on board with it but feeling a lot of resistance, mainly because it seems like if you choose this cultivation practice, it's pretty much your belief system and you can't cultivate with other methods and be successful, and I"m having a hard time with that. It's also SOOOO mystical in such a specific way, it's a real mind-bender for me and I feel a certain amount of skepticism. I'm kind of looking for opinions and observations from others, particularly other westerners, who know about this practice or have experienced it. If you have time to share your thoughts, that would be much appreciated.
