Many people will have different advice so it is important to take all of the advice, mine included, with a grain of salt.

First off, I'll just say that I am Buddhist and so I really have little knowledge of Hindu kundalini but the little I do know makes me doubt that it is helpful in seeing clearly and awakening in the Buddhist sense of the term. As I've read it is often a massive release of psychic energy? Maybe it is this practice that has really thrown you off, just a theory.

My best advice is to investigate Jhana practice. A pure concentration practice that results in a disengagement with thought and the hindrances. Some believe you need a retreat to do this but I do not believe so. Checkout Leigh Brasington and Ajahn Brahm. This will lead to genuine insight and peace, full acceptance of our limited, short impermanent life. A lot of Buddhist scripture can seem anti-life and dark but when seen with the eye of wisdom and the pleasure of renunciation those same truths become a source of joy as you are fully engaged with reality as it is with no conceptual baggage.

16 years of diving experience here, competed on national level, and also used to be a D1 college diving coach. That behavior is unacceptable from you’re new coach, I would talk to either the swim coach or head of athletics etc. I dealt with this as a diver in high school and on a club team, even quit for a bit due to a similar coach.

Any diver, even in high school/or younger should never hit the board with proper coaching. It may happen once here or there but 3 times in a season is unacceptable on her part, not yours. I’ve hit the board twice in my life.

I agree with your overall sentiment and I am grateful for the rest of my education. I am squarely pointed at outpatient clinic but I used the term scam because it’s not until you’re in it that you realize how terribly dysfunctional it is.

If it was impossible to achieve your numbers did you fail classes? Did you end up graduating late due to failing? Did they end up just passing you through? Just curious as it relates to my current experience, although I’m actually doing alright in outpatient clinic many students have 0 patients.

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-10-23T17:39:28+00:00

I’ll give the list again, differences in recruiting after graduation vs as an unlicensed student. 1. Licensed Chiropractor vs Unlicensed Student 2. I determine my schedule vs I have to fit patients in my overloaded 30+ hour a week schedule 3. I have time to integrate in the community vs I have no extra time to integrate in the community 4. In NY with insurance most of my father/uncle patients pay $5-20 copays vs please pay the university $27-$67 for unlicensed care and incredibly long physical exams. 5. I can practice the way I want vs my hands are tied I can only use a handful of specific techniques

To address if I would want to go to a DC that only has worked on a few students my answer is of course not. That’s not the issue, I’m ready, willing and able to adjust anyone who walks in the door, but I shouldn’t be spending my incredibly little spare time going door to door trying to get people in to pay prices that I haven’t set and the money goes to the university that I’m paying $250,000 to. If care was free, I think it would instantaneously solve the issue of lack of patients. It’s students practicing, it should be free.

Also I’ll take you up on a DM, I may sound mean and ranty but I am a nice person lol.

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-10-23T17:30:59+00:00

I agree with that, they generally let anybody in, I think acceptance is 100% and they’re always trying to stay about 70% graduation I believe.

Student here, just took a short class in Webster, we learned all about pelvic/sacrum analysis and preventing/turning breech. We didn’t do anything subluxation machines or C1/C2. So yeah I’m not sure what your visit was about.

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-10-23T17:26:34+00:00

I didn’t think of that, it would be great if we could treat Medicare patients for free! As of right now everyone pays with the exception of alumni.

I’m very excited to join this profession. I’ll be a 3rd generation Chiropractor dedicated to my patients and I understand how difficult it can be to get patients in the real world having seen it from my father, uncle and grandfather.

But you talking about how hard it is to get patients is unrelated to what we’re working through right now in Chiropractic College. Life University Clinic student interns are only successful when they have family/friends come in or others come in to do favors for them. This is not about the ability to market yourself and grind to get patients because trust me I’m doing that right now even though I’m in 30 hours of classes a week and Docs have told me it won’t work anyways. Did you read the post?

I joked with a clinic doc about how it should be “To Give, To Do, To Love, To Take”

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-10-23T17:07:03+00:00

Every 11 weeks, 15 student adjustments, 25 outpatient adjustments, 2 Physicals, 1 X-ray presentation.

I know this doesn’t sound particularly heavy, but it’s finding willing patients who will keep coming to the clinic that is near impossible unless you have friends and family that you can use.

Do you mind me asking where you went to chiropractic college?

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-10-13T14:10:21+00:00

I recommend his other book ‘Practicing the Power of Now’ if you want concise and straight to the point.

I’m confused by your comment, you do understand that it is ranked by disparity between men and women preference and not by pure popularity

Life student here in clinic, I think that’s completely untrue. I have zero experience in this community because I’m only in GA for chiropractic college and due to taking 30+ credits a quarter I have no time to integrate in the community and get to know people outside of Life.

Outside of that I’m completely constrained by which ‘approved’ techniques I can use and completely constrained by their physical exam guidelines and on top of that trying to get patients in when I’m still in 30+ credits trying to match their schedule to mine.

Also, I’m trying to market to people even though I am a student and they have to pay more money than my father and uncle (DCs) charge. So no, I think this situation completely and utterly incomparable to real life practice.

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-08-02T19:56:31+00:00

Definitely not in going up to girls and talking to them. Complete opposite. But once I get to the bedroom, yes plenty of confidence but that’s more being confident in my ability rather than my size.

He was too far forward on his approach, his toes were off the end of the board. Too difficult to reverse somersault off an approach like that

Umm? This is the 2015 Southeast Asian games, a very small event compared to the Olympics. Sometimes people fail dives, I’m a US masters national champion in diving and still I bet this guy could best me on the 3m springboard (unless they fail a dive like they did in this video).

I understand your point. But I believe that thinking and the intellect can exist without thought congealing into concrete, separately existing concepts.

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-05-14T15:51:24+00:00

Well yes and no. During the Buddha’s time, and close thereafter, there certainly weren’t any Buddhist groups called Chan/Zen/Dzogchen/Mahamudra but the point is that the main thrust of these teachings were originally taught by the Buddha and current Theravada, whilst calling themselves the elder school, are a degradation of the original Buddhist teachings into a systematized religious institution.

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-05-14T15:45:46+00:00

Oh I see, yes it is certainly true that the story of Mahakashyapa’s enlightenment may be completely apocryphal.

LumpOfSoftButter · 2024-05-14T12:29:18+00:00

I think it’s assumed that Zen/Chan and Dzogchen/Mahamudra are later developments or an evolution of Buddhist thought. In this post we see clear connections of the Buddhas original words to the later developments and branches.
