If you're as young as you feel, I'm in big trouble some mornings

That's an interesting experience, chaoticwave:)
I wonder what kind of practice the owner does and whether the new kid also does it too.

Shame! I'm Chinese and can only barely sense paranormal energy, other than hearing my own spirit friends. Hahaha! Guess I have a lot of catching up to do and that is true, especially with ancestors and multiple deities.

If it's any consolation, he's in his late 40's to 50's. Perhaps you've just not ripened enough?

That's true.... I'm still a sprightly young'un. Not that that is old or anything!

And I definitely should read up on the old ways of my ancestors. I'm more connected to Japanese folklore and culture, but I want to expand my horizons!

Umm I guess they are the older generation who still maintain the rituals and practices as well as energy works, such as qigong. Because all Chinese students whom I met here don't really know, or care, about these topics. Ironically, I used to discuss philosophical Taoism and do taiji push hand with a student from US:I

Anyway, what kind of Japanese culture? I'm also interested in Onmyoudou but everyone here keeps directing me to watch some anime:I

Hi, sorry for the late response! I'm interested in Japanese social etiquette, language (I'm currently a Japanese major in school right now), mythology, Shintoism, etc. I guess my gateway to everything was anime and manga (which I'm still pretty into).

And I see. My mom and dad kind of practice feng shui, so every so often they will change the layout of rooms in their house to face a lucky direction and things like that. As for me, I guess the only "Chinese" thing I really am interested in learning right now is manipulating chi and healing (which I guess I am doing right now). I don't really know about Chinese philosophy but I probably will read up on it someday.

Lastly... You guys are still young, so hush hahaha!

Howdy:)

Ooo, jaa, nihongo wa mou pera pera ni syabererun desu yo ne (^-^) (Not sure if I can write kana in this forum:I). For mythology, I may need to ask some stuff about it, but in different thread if you don't mind:)

Feng shui!! I heard that famous colleges of architecture in Indonesia even teach it, but focusing on the circulation of physical air and water, plus natural lighting. I've also watched a TV series that said if a house is facing toward a bank, it'll bring great wealth energy to those living in the house.
I wonder how spirits/entities react with the feng shui arrangement, and whether there's difference in influence between the Asian-based spirits/entities with others

reading this story made my heart stop haha, awesome fun story

My mouth dropped wide open reading your post OP.
