Workout style getaway?Discussion

This might sound a little crazy, but I'd like to spend a week w/a similar minded group doing something crazy to get in shape. I'm sure this exists -- any suggestions?

Enhance Your Outdoor Adventures with Bing Maps KML Viewer!Discussion

Hello r/Outdoors enthusiasts,

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on that might be of interest to many of you who love exploring nature as much as I do. It's called Bing Maps KML Viewer, an Android app designed to help you visualize your Google Maps KML files on Bing Maps. Bing Maps often provides clearer and more detailed imagery, making it perfect for planning and enjoying your outdoor adventures.

What It Does:
  • Load KML Files: Easily select and load KML files from your device storage.
  • View Placemarks: Display placemarks on Bing Maps with custom icons and colors.
  • Interactive Map: Tap on map elements to view detailed information about each placemark.
  • User Location: Show and navigate to your current location.
Why I Made It:

As an outdoor enthusiast, I frequently explore various locations and create detailed maps on Google Maps. However, I’ve found that Bing Maps provides superior image quality, making it easier to plan and navigate my adventures. This app bridges that gap, allowing you to enjoy your KML maps with Bing Maps' high-quality imagery.

Interested?

You can check out the project here: Bing Maps KML Viewer on GitHub

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Whether it’s suggestions for improvements, bug reports, or any other contributions, all are welcome!

Thanks for taking a look and happy exploring!

Nuclear physicists in Asia discovered that what people call "Qi/Prana" is actually a low-frequency, highly concentrated form of infrared radiation.Discussion

In experiments conducted in the 1960s, nuclear physicists in China came to accept the notion that Qi is actually a low-frequency, highly concentrated form of infrared radiation.

This radiation is the euphoric energy that is present when experiencing Frisson, or as the Runner's High, or as the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, or as Qi in Taoism and in Martial Arts, or as Prana in Hindu philosophy and during an ASMR session.

Researchers have witnessed certain test subjects who were able to consciously emit this form of energy from their bodies.

Here's a Harvard study of the Tibetan people who use this same energy under a different name called Tummo to raise their body temperature. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harvard-study-confirms-tibetan-monks-can-raise-body-temperature-with-their-)

And a paper from the CIA website on the accuracy of the Qi(Spiritual chills) and its usage through the eastern practice of Qigong: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00792R000300400002-9.pdf)

''Chinese scientists, using arrays of modern detectors, tried to monitor emissions originating from qigong masters. They met with partial success by detecting increased levels of infrared radiation. Interestingly, the emission oscillated with a low frequency''

As the Taoist concept of Qi crossed over into the West in recent years, the Western word Bio-electricity was coined to describe it since Chi has a number of properties that seem similar to those of electrical energy.

Eventually, you can learn how to bring up this wave of euphoric energy feel it over your whole body, flooding your being with its natural ecstasy and master it to the point of controlling its duration.

This energy researched and documented under many names, by different people and cultures, such as BioelectricityLife forcePranaChiQiRunner's HighEuphoriaASMREcstasyOrgoneRaptureTensionAuraManaVayusNenIntentTummoOdic forceKriyasPitīFrissonRuahSpiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingleson-demand quickeningVoluntary PiloerectionAetherChillsSpiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

Here are three written tutorials going more in-depth on how to control your energy and to understand where it comes from.

P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on r/spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge and tips on it.
