One of the greatest challenges to modern spiritual seekers is confusion over feelings. Where do they come from? Why are they so elusive? Where does negativity come from? How can we harness feelings to deepen our soul realization? Fusion of the Five Elements is an amazing spiritual technology that reveals the secrets of our mind and emotions that are essential to progress on any path. It is truly a gift from Tao to humanity to restore harmony.

The 9 Major Benefits of Fusion of the Five Elements 1:

1. Learn a practical way to stay emotionally neutral while being body-centered and fully present – and still feel what is happening in any situation. “Neutral” is way to describe “centered”, a neutral feeling space from which we can express strong feelings – without falling into the illusion that temporary feelings make up our self-identity.

2. Open up communication pathways between the five inner “body gods” of our heart-mind (“xin”) and our outer sensory perception. These are the five spirits or vital organ intelligences embodied in our heart, spleen-pancreas, lungs, kidneys, and liver. We learn how to reverse the chi normally flowing out our tongue, mouth, nose, ears, and eyes so that it flows instead inward to nourish the inner organs.

   This one simple technique can cure the exhaustion that plagues so many people! Instead of constantly spending energy out your senses, you absorb chi into your sensory and vital organs from the larger chi field of the environment. What used to be “stress” is now “food that recharges”.

3. Elevate the harmonizing power of your Inner Smile to a deeper level. Smile to your body spirits, support them in turning the wheel of the “creation” (sheng) cycle, the pattern of nourishing chi flow between the “five sub-personalities” of our inner soul team. This deeper, more collective Inner Smile allows us to shape the flow of archetypal forces hidden within the sacred space inside our body. The creation cycle is a foundational principle of classical Chinese medicine. It empowers us to diagnose and heal a wide variety of biological, emotional, mental, and spiritual disorders.

4. Explores how feelings arise, how they control us, why we wrongly worship feelings, even in the context of personal relationships. This draws a clear distinction between what I call Taoist Depth Psychology and most popular forms of western psychology. Western psychology is mostly based on managing feelings; feelings are the “highest authority of the psyche”. Fusion is based on contacting our Original Feeling, beyond the feelings of the personality. This allows us to shape the Original Chi matrix underlying our feelings, thoughts, and sensory perception.

5. Where does our “dark side” come from? This course details the developmental pathway of the Five Body Spirits (“wu jingshen”) from the pre-natal realm of the Original Spirit, how they emerge at birth and gain power in childhood. It is a major revelation to discover how our very own body intelligences begin as guardians and end up as “the Resistance” creating struggle, disease and failure in our adult life.

6. Learn the secret of “eating” negative emotional energy, blending it in a “cauldron” at the navel. The yin Fusion practice gently embraces negative emotions and slowly “dissolves” un-centered or dis-harmonious feelings back into the belly center/dantian. I call this emotional resolution process our “inner soul theatre”. At the same time this heart-centered process grows a powerful internal Energy Body as the ego-self is healed of its fragmentation and struggle.

7. Explore the option of using the bagua shape to focus on negativity, strip off the negative charge, and thus convert it into positive energy. The yang Fusion practice uses high speed “chopping and blending” of negative thought/feeling forms using spinning bagua shapes. This is extremely useful in quickly resolving highly negative or overwhelming situations that yin methods are too slow to handle.

8. Practice a powerful method for absorbing the hidden innate virtues that connect you to Original Spirit and the Tao. Even if you have not been very loving or kind in life, this allows you to tap into the infinite ocean of po tential love, kindness, wisdom, strength and trust and accumulate their essence in your body-mind. What you absorb inside you will later radiate out into your life.

9. Learn to fuse the soul essences that control your destiny into a single radiant golden “pearl” – the first stage of allowing your true self to embody and express itself from the space of Original Feeling. This process is the foundation for the higher alchemy formulas.

03 (12:33) Discourse – Ling (Soul) Inner Witness Incarnates Us with Constitutional Elemental Imbalances that Drive Our Seeking, Now We Balance It Out with Internal Alchemy Starting at Postnatal Foundation Here in This Earthly Heaven for Unfolding Our Own Dao Co-Creative Process, Spiritual vs Physical Immortality

04 (5:20) Q- How Do You Find Your Purpose (Ming)?

05 (12:29) Q- What Are We Cultivating That’s Different from What We Came in with? Making the Intangible Subtle Witness (Soul) Tangible, Growing Free Will by Becoming Causal as You Get Closer to Source, Spiritualist vs Materialist Cosmologies vs Daoist Middle Ground, Integrating Outer & Inner, Form & Formless, Nature of Alienation & Sense of Separation

06 (9:13) Q- Difference Between Qi & Pearl We Are Cultivating? Mingmen vs Dantien, Starts with No Dan (Elixir) Crystallized, Intent of Which Forms the Pearl by Storing & Concentrating

07 (5:49) Q- How Does the Tree & Branches Map Relate to the 8 Extraordinary Vessels? They Are the Bridge Between Postnatal & Prenatal, 5 Phases Are Cycles of How the Cardinal Directions Interact on the Personality Level Which Govern the 12 Meridians, 5-Pointed Star Mandala (Qi Moves Out Through Senses) vs Cross Mandala (Qi Moves In)

08 (10:19) Q- How Do We Prevent Our Cosmology from Distracting and Limiting Us? Map vs Methods, Knowing Why & When to Do a Practice, Wuwei As Highest Value of Daoist Map, Methods Can Become Fixed & Limited as Well, Need Orientation, Self-Evaluation & Verification Even Though Subjective, Criticisms of Buddhism as Postnatal Emptiness

09 (8:17) Q- Purpose of Formulas as Cultivating Awareness vs Also Cultivating Causal Will, Hardest Thing Is Coming Into Your Body Fully, Source Is Inside You, Exploring Feeling of Intensity, We Need Awareness & Integration Of & Participation In All the Intermediate Cosmic Levels Of Consciousness Between Formless Source & Manifestation Of Form, Stopping Your Mind Doesn’t Mean You’ve Gone Back to Source, Personal Energy Body = Soul But Fastest-Moving Aspect Of It Is Feeling Body

11 (12:32) Q- Are We Going to Get the Lesson of The Reactivity That We’re Dissolving? Everyone Interprets It Differently, Daoist Depth Psychology = Integrating Daoist Cosmology (Earth & Heaven) With Western Psychological Maps (Humanity), Putting It In Context Instead Of “Castles In Midair,” Jung & Ego & Collective Unconscious, Limited Jungian Methods vs Working With Qi, Nature & Cosmology As Distinct From Human Collective

12 (9:33) Q- Is It Dangerous to Change Your Emotional-Feeling Body Energy Patterns Without Understanding the Story? The Story Is Valuable But Ultimately Unimportant Because The Actual Transformation Is The Lesson, Just Live It & Energetically Experience It, We’re All Earth-Disturbed & Here To Experience Boundaries, Not Putting Down Culture But That Varies, We Want To Take Out Cultural Values & Get Direct Into Energetic Reality

20 (2:13) Discourse – Qigong & Internal Alchemy Are Doing Chinese Medicine Through Breath, Intent, Visualization, Whole Range of Psychic&Mental Soul Powers, Important For “Patient” To Engage Their Own Will for Best Results

21 (11:19) Discourse – “Wood Invades Earth” Unbalanced Control Mechanism Is Very Common, Traumatized Earth From Over-Controlling Parents, Signs&Symptoms, False Yang Patriarchy (Atlantis) vs Matriarchy (Lemuria) in Daoism & Other Traditions, False vs True Yin & Yang Medically Societally & Historically, Internet Sex Beast

22 (6:33) Discourse – Mantak Chia’s Way Of Teaching Fusion vs Michael’s, Connect With Virtues But Not Transforming “Negative” Emotions Into Them Because Virtues Are Your Innate Prenatal Nature (Ming), Do Spiral In Creation Cycle 1st Then Neutralize&Dissolve Through Polarized Pairs Of Elements, Chia Brought In Higher Levels Without A Strong Foundation On This Human Level

23 (5:11) Discourse – What Exactly Is A Feeling? Where Does It Come From? We Are Step-Down Transformers Of Source Energies (via Oversouls, Cosmic Star Zodiac, Planets, Earth to Human Level – Protocosmos-Macrocosmos-Microcosmos) So All Feelings = Qi Filtered Through Mental&Emotional(Feeling) Body But They’re Challenging Due To Their Speed, You Created Your Feelings (They Did Not Pre-exist) Or You’re Recreating Chronic Feelings To Resolve Them, Need Energetic Strength&Integrity To Look At & Deal With These Deep Negative Patterns That Cut Us Off From Original Feeling Of Excitement To Bring Love From Source (& Other Virtues)

24 (7:41) Q- How Would This Formula Best Be Taught to The Chinese? MW Just Took On A Chinese Student & Will See How It Goes, Chia’s Fusion Teaching Fails Because He Applies The Chinese “Face” “Mask” Suppression Of Forced Harmonizing With Group, Qigong Is Considered Dangerous Only In China Because Personal Feelings Coming Out Is Considered “Crazy” (Opposite Of Western View), Collective Mind Socialization Is Viciously Traumatizing In China, 35% Of Energy Spent To Maintain “Face”

25 (1:48) Q- What Role Does the Control Cycle Play in This Practice? Can Be Used in Customized Way, Cross Mandala Is Neutralizing Using A Similar Net Effect

26 (7:16) Q- Exact Anatomical Location of Pearls?

The 9 Major Benefits of Fusion of the Five Elements 2 & 3:

1. Build a more powerful Energy Body by making conscious the deep energetic structure of your body-mind. You become far more powerful energetically in all spheres of your life. Everyone needs more energy; few understand where to find it and how to keep it balanced. Fusion 2/3 offers a template for a dynamic, flexible, grounded, and continuously flowing Energy Body.

2. Activate the relationship between your 5 body-spirits and the 8 extraordinary vessels. Fusion 1 develops the pearl as the integration and purification of ego consciousness. Fusion 2/3 moves the pearl through the 8 channels. These 8 channels are the deep pathways the 5 inner “body spirits” of our heart-mind (“xin”) use to energetically manage our biology, our psychology, and our spirituality. Cosmologically, this is equivalent to hard wiring 5-phase and 8-trigram/8-cosmic force theory into one.

3. Open chi flow internally in the Macro-cosmic Orbit. The Micro-cosmic orbit taught in Qigong Fundamentals 2 balances internal yin-yang chi flow. The Macro orbit adds in the arm and leg channels, which balances the chi flow between the environment and our body. It functionally integrates the chi flow between our inner self and our outer self/world. The macro orbit creates a wonderful feeling of deeper harmony with all that is around us. This Fusion 3 practice is made simple and easy-to-embody by use of the unique 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong form, which I custom-developed from years of practice.

4. Gain a powerful tool for self-healing, especially chronic illness and “mystery illnesses” that don’t respond to other treatments. Since the healing with the 8 Extraordinary Vessels occurs at a deeper level, it dissolves chronic diseases that are hard to cure, and stubborn mental-emotional patterns that do not respond to standard medical or psychological techniques.

5. Learn to tap into the most effective secrets of Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM). TCM (“Traditional Chinese Medicine”, invented about 50 years ago) does not use the 8 extraordinary vessels. It’s because the 8 Extraordinary Vessels are deep meridians, mostly below the skin level, thus not easily accessible to acupuncture. These 8 deep ‘reservoirs and canals” feed the 12 superficial (vital organ) meridians. If the 8 deep channels are balanced, all 12 of the regular channels will automatically self-balance.

   Private studies show that 8 Extra treatments work faster and have a higher success rate of healing than regular 12-meridian acupuncture. 8 extra acupuncture treatments are slowly becoming known in the west, using ion-pumping cords and master-coupling points where the channels begin and start. But these channels are much more powerful when opened internally and in conjunction with pearl of inner will refined in Fusion 1.

6. Grow deep wisdom with “psychic alchemy”. Fusion teaches you to become a “Living I Ching” (Book of Unchanging Changes, 3000 year old classic that is foundation of Taoism). Learn the connection between the 8 deep core channels in your body and the 8 trigrams of the I Ching as symbolic system for mediating the 8 cosmic forces that hold form in place and dictate all patterns of change.

   This pattern of “8” is not just some Chinese myth – it is found in biological cell division, in DNA structure, and in sacred geometry of the 8 points of the cube/earth element. The 8 trigrams of the I Ching are used for divination. When you activate 8 deep channels awareness in the body, you become a highly intuitive or psychic person. You begin to spontaneously receive more information from the larger chi field of the environment.

7. Supercharge the spinal cord, its physical nerve plexus and its subtle energy wiring with the Fusion 2 method of wrapping the spine with golden light (chi) of your inner pearl. This intense practice is like changing your body’s internal communication system from slow dialup to high speed internet.

8. Learn numerous practical ways to interface your physical body and your Energy Body. The two most important are using the belt channels for grounding and psychic protection, and activating the left, right, and center thrusting channels to clear internal blockages and extend your awareness deep into earth or high into heaven. The pearl can be extended like an antenna above the head or below the ground to receive cosmic chi frequencies without static. When core channels flow in continuous yin-yang circuits, they form an energetic torus (donut shaped aura) that is self-recharging.

   The purified chi of your pearl can clean your aura and spine if used to “slice” through energy blockages. Pearl is also used to rejuvenate your senses (especially helpful for eyes of computer users) with internal figure-8 spiraling techniques.

9. Open pathways of communication between your Original Spirit, pre-natal self and your post-natal (physical) self. The pearl and the 8 Extra Vessels are like half-way meditators between your physical body and your formless inner self. Thus Fusion internal technology can be used to heal trauma that occurred in your mother’s womb. It facilitates downloading whatever our body-mind needs from the infinite, formless sea of chi within. Every human being was born from this dark ocean of potential energy. But more important is to realize we all carry that ocean of chi inside of us, and learn how to use it.

[accordion-item title=”*yy* Additional notes on Fusion:”]

Get the package? I recommend you get the combined audio Fusion #1 and #2 & 3 together with the DVD (available as hard shipped product OR as download). The PACKAGE price gives you  a discount. The three fusion practices mesh with each other like a hand in a glove. Once you learn Fusion 1, it will be useful to have Fusion 2/3 at hand when you are ready for it.

Fusion 1 focuses on awakening the 5 vital organ spirits, Fusion 2/3 activates the 8 deep energy channels that the 5 organ spirits regulate. The package includes the 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong DVD, mainly used for Fusion #2 & 3.

The Fusion DVD has three qigong forms on it, including the Nourish the Five Body Spirits Qigong (renamed “Spiral Love in Creation Cycle Qigong) taught in Fusion #1. This qigong form is described in the Fusion 1 audio, and its simple enough to get from the audio plus handout, but its always easier to learn from the video.

Which to train first – Fusion or Healing Love? Fusion practices pave the wave for sexual energy cultivation of Healing Love, which regulates outer sexual desires and sex functioning. Our sexual drive is infused with many incomplete feelings. By completing those feelings internally with Fusion, we can then make conscious and manage what is purely sexual. Fusion is thus essential preparation for learning the inner sexual alchemy of the Kan and Li formulas – the copulation of one’s inner male and inner female energies.

Many people – men especially – tend to skip Fusion and race ahead directly to the sexual practices. But mastery of “sexual kung-fu” will be limited if you do not also master your emotions. It is easier to master your emotions when they are not inflamed with sexual passion. Fusion will be truly liberating for many women who feel controlled by strong emotion or overwhelmed by their sensitivity of feeling. Sexual issues for them will come into clear focus once the emotional aspects have been separated out and dissolved.

Fusion & Martial Arts: Fusion practices are central to developing a functional internal “energy body” or “chi body”. Without it, your energy body may lack a true center. There is a danger of developing too much chi through external movement practice. Fusion practices are thus helpful to martial artists, who tend to bypass emotional development while seeking power over others. Fusion offers a way to refine and integrate the emotional chi, and ensure it is expressed virtuously.

Summer retreat rebate: If you buy the homestudy course and later take the Fusion summer retreat within the year, you get half your money back. Note: Normally this rebate only applies to courses I teach. I do not teach the Fusion summer course, so be prepared for a somewhat different version, each teacher has their own style. I accept the Fusion 1-3 home study course as completing pre-requisites for live study of Lesser Kan & Li retreats.

Buy the Fusion book? Mantak Chia’s Fusion book is useful, but not necessary. Its very difficult to learn these practices well from a book, which is why “oral transmission” is always emphasized in the Taoist tradition. My home study course includes detailed handouts with the most essential illustrations from the book. Of the 9 formulas in Chia’s book only the first 4 are part of the original Fusion 1 practice. The last 5 formulas in the book are fragments borrowed from the higher kan and li formulas (and were published over my strenuous editorial objection).

There is no Fusion 2 or 3 material in Chia’s fusion book.

I personally recommend you do NOT skip ahead to those fragmentary formulas 5 through 9 in the Fusion book. One Cloud’s seven Tao Formulas for Achieving Immortality are a progressive training. It’s a mistake to absorb chi from the 5 planets before you have learned to manage even your basic emotions. The personal emotions just get overshadowed and buried deeper in your unconscious. Read my article on “Clearing the Confusion Over Fusion” in articles section. (https://healingtaousa.com/articles/clearing-the-confusion-over-fusion/)

I have evolved the Fusion practices I learned from Mantak Chia. I’ve integrated into my Fusion practice other aspects of Taoist alchemy that fit well with Western psychology. For example, Chia does not work directly with the Five Shen (vital organs spirits), only with their chi. I made these changes to meet the needs of the different emotional nature of Westerners, whose energy bodies are quite different from those of the Chinese.

Time Frame: Fusion 1 should be progressively learned for 100 days AFTER the Qigong Fundamentals 1 & 2 (minimum), and preferably after Qigong Fundamentals 3 & 4 for extra grounding. Fusion 1 trains one in the art of “emotional grounding”, and if you are not solidly in your body, its harder to ground your emotional body.

Once you’ve got a good grasp of Fusion 1, the Fusion 2/3 practices become much easier and can be learned quickly. But still allow yourself another 100 days to fully integrate the practice, especially the grounding belt channels and spiral into the earth. Many people find the Fusion 2/3 practices greatly strengthen the Fusion 1 practice. But you still need to learn Fusion 1 first, to plant the seeds of its own further development.

Each individual progresses at a unique pace. Time frame may be affected by personal nature, health issues, your openness to subtle energy, and amount of time spent practicing. Those who take a Healing Tao retreat or workshop, with its live transmission, may progress much faster. Live work with a group adds momentum to your chi experience.

The rule of thumb is to experiment with a new method until you feel you “own the practice’. This means the chi flow of that practice is inside you, you can tap it anytime, it feels comfortable and familiar. It’s become a tool, you can use it when needed.

You do NOT need to “master” or “perfect” these practices before learning the next course – which in my sequence is either Healing Love or Lesser Kan & Li. Just as the “self” is a fluid process, “self-mastery” is a continuous, lifelong process. Please, don’t use “lack of mastery” as an excuse not to try the next method.

I am still in process of mastering these practices – after 25 years! No matter how advanced you become, life will continually serve up new challenges to whatever level of clarity of feeling you’ve achieved.[/collapsible_item]
