Hands and feet heating up- yongquan and laogong areas or heels and general palms? Any major Dan tien activity? Your aura expanding feel like weiqi expansion or more shen/wuji based?

And I crack up everytime I read the hunger stuff. Some people eat to deal with their emotions. Seems like AOSI makes you eat to adjust other people's lol

Awesome, fellow martial artist? I'm a Japanese stylist, so I don't know TOO much about the terms you're using, but I'm familiar enough with them to say that there's definitely some activity in the laogong area (so I'm assuming it's the same for the feet). In fact, when I connect the two points (hand over hand) the flow of energy feels malleable, like I can shape it.

I'll try to explain what I perceive about the aura in the best way I can: The aura itself (at least for me) is DENSE. I've only ever felt it this dense after performing a Shotokan kata called Hangetsu with my instructor, which has internal energy work in the movements and breathing.

It radiates at a very slow pace and when I focus hard enough, I swear it's close enough to physical manifestation that I'd be able to see it. No dantien activity as of yet -- but keep in mind that I've only run it once.

I feel it mostly on my upper back. Gets VERY HOT there, but feels good.

What I've noticed on the original AOS is that guys who are socially comfortable will act all buddy buddy, while the one's who aren't will act weird or be intimidated. It's like the guys at my job, they don't rush to talk to me anymore except the confident ones. It's kinda the same with girls, the hot girls will respond to you and the rest will try to avoid you. Some 7's might have the princess syndrome for whatever reason, but at least this has been my experience.

Long post, but this may be my last update for about a week since I'm mainly just commenting on the AM6 / AOSI combo together. There's more than enough AM6 journals to go around.

Sickologist -- I think you're right, but I'm pretty sure AOSI had something to do with it. The underlying motif my second AM6 run has been RAAAAAGE! Lots and lots of f*ckin' RAGE. I've been listening to the ultrasonic loud AF, and I wake up feeling like the Incredible Hulk. The rage usually subsides when I get something to eat and workout, but before that, stay outta my way. Interestingly enough, when I woke up this morning (after running AOSI), the rage was not present. Keep in mind that I've experienced this day after day for the last 4 months and today it was gone. It HAS to be the state shifting (or something else) in AOSI affecting my mood. I love that, but it also worries me that AOSI's 5.5g tech is going to completely derail my AM6 run (which Shannon DID warn was a possibility), so I may actually cut usage down to once every two weeks.

My workout today was absolutely insane. In memoriam of the fallen great Muhammed Ali, I decided to incorporate some of his favorite workouts into my routine. I did:

Shadowboxing, 5 x 5 minute workouts, 30 second break
Heavy bag, 6 x 5 minutes, 30 second break
Leg crunches, medicine ball, etc. etc. etc.

Let's just say it's a very intensive workout. I BLAZED through it almost like it was nothing. I could literally feel energy surging through my body. My focus was insane also. I've never worked out this hard before and felt so great afterward. Has to be something in AOSI. Came home and crashed though. Straight up lights out. Nothing could wake me up.

I thought the effects were wearing off, but I had another hilarious incident just happen. Was starving, decided to grab some Japanese food so I went to this random "Yummi Japan" up the road that I hadn't tried yet. I walk in, there's a beautiful, beautiful Japanese woman at the register, maybe about 19 or so. In the back was this white guy running the grill. As soon as I walk in, she breaks into this huge smile and greets me. I grin back, walk up and start going over the menu while chatting with her. She doesn't speak English very well, tells me that she's new to the country and that her family owns all the Japanese restaurants in the area, etc. The white guy immediately starts glaring at me, crosses his arms. At first I was like, "ah man, he's just an orbiter pissed off that he's not getting any play from his oneitis, no biggie." But this dude was seriously GLARING at me. Ignoring the food, the phone, just staring. She yells at him to get back to work. At this point, I didn't know if I wanted to order because I ain't want him to spit in my food, but I figured it'd be okay since I could see the grill.

I order, then I start flirting -- it was like the more I looked at her, the more beautiful she became, but it was a weird perception shift. It was like I was admiring a piece of amazing art, but not in a weird needy, creepy way. And I'm pretty sure she was looking at me the same way. And then, BOOM -- the energy floodgates opened. Never felt anything like that before. I was thinking, "damn Shannon, what's in this thing -- it's almost been a whole 24 hours since I ran it." She began to blush, and it was so powerful that neither said anything, just kinda looked at each other. That's when I noticed that the white guy had vanished. This asshole ran and grabbed who I think was the chick's uncle, and he came out and pretty much refunded me my money and threw me out of the restaurant. Unfortunately for him, I had already written my number down on the first receipt and gave it to her, so we'll see.

Moral of the story is: AOSI is a hell of a sub. Can't wait to run it again next week.
