IMO the meditation (for relaxation) and the sport exercises (very intense

them here as separate aspects.

I agree.


If it is the power of suggestion then it still bears examining as in
the case of healing the placebo effect still somehow does cure the
person ill.

Their healing claims... it is far more important to scientifically verify
these than prove or disprove the knockdown!


From what I understand, there are many people here who do natural
healing.
More natural healers than western doctor types. Understandable when
even if you go to the western SOS clinic you will probably get a indo
girl whose parents bought her mdeical degree.

So YB doing it is nothing really different or new here. Of course they
have 30,000 plus practitioners of YB here and everyone I have talked
with knows someone who practices YB.

It wouldmake sense form a westerners point of view to do western tests.
IE to have a YB healer go to a western country and work in the
emergency room at a western hospital.
Now that would be something if it worked then!

Of course it wouldnt matter to the balinese but it would to use of
westerners.

interesting

Many of them did attack each other on the last day and many of them did
fall. The biggest comment was they were not sure what had happened but
they *were* sure that they could hit the defender the next time. They
seemed to deny they had fallen down even one strongly denied it even
when he watched himself on video.

Video was taken?

Yes there was taken by one ex miilitary guy and one Yb teacher. What I
saw was just like what I saw on the melbourne Yb guys site.



Do you have it?


No I didnt bring a camera there are like 10 sites with Yb videos on
them, what would one more video do to prove it to anyone here? :-)

Since the
information is available free on the Net, I tried the sport exercises... to
give you some idea, I can lift weights moderately intense and not sweat
(just not the type that does, all that profusely). After 30-45mins of the
sport exercises I am sweating BULLETS! They are extremely intense to the
point where you have to be careful or you may faint due to the physical
strain plus the breath control the instructions require you to do.


Sounds like you got more than your money worth! ;-)

I agree the exercise is very intense. IF you do it seriously with
intent it is very intense. We did each of the 5 poses ten times each on
the 2 a day workouts.



If any of the military-type guys you claimed were there, are still milling
around, you should consider talking to them awhile and getting their
reaction to their experience, preferably on video. Should one of them show
his credentials then claim positive proof, that would be saying something
since they have more to risk than the average Joe by claiming anything. The
more down-to-earth, reasonable and less superstitious people captured on
video at this event, the better (and not to be prejudicial or anything, but
this probably excludes many of the Balinese although I'm sure they're
wonderful folks).


The thing finished yesterday our time (sunday) and I am not staying in
Legian area so not in contact with those guys. I was frankly gobsmacked
people here made such a big deal about martial artists and military
guys being here. In any large group of people there would be those
kindsa of people any way. Given the current feeling about military
people in some areas I am surprised people would give military types or
rma lurkers such credibility eh?

I was expecting to get more grief for saying that Jesus could NOT have
possibly walked on water cause it defies the laws of physics. BTW-
Jesus could NOT have walked on water :-)

I am staying in a Legian backpacker place and will go in a day or so to
petitinget area where a group of westerners live who train YB and talk
to them.
