Equinox: What are YOU Birthing this Spring?

Taoist Fusion of the 5 Elements practice is the best method I’ve found for refining my ability to know the truth of my feelings. By dissolving all the reactionary type feelings eventually the deep feeling underlying them comes to the surface.

By understanding that feelings are generated by an internal “family” dynamic between the vital organ spirits, we can sort out who wants what and why. This alchemical technology relies on the fundamental tools also used by Chinese medicine: the control and nourishing cycles of the five phases.

Fusion practice goes further. It adds in the power of fusing all five types of emotional chi into our Original Breath, or yuan chi. This is the type of chi that gives us emotional detachment without taking away our potential for feeling passionate about our truth.

April 25 – 26, 2010 (Sat-Sun): Asheville, N.C.                             
FUSION of the FIVE ELEMENTS 2 & 3.                                         
Open the Macro Orbit: 8 Extraordinary Vessels

Open the Macro-Cosmic Orbit by linking chi flow in the Eight Extraordinary (“psychic”) channels. These channels link your pre-natal and post-natal energy bodies, i.e. the deep structure of how you birth yourself each flowing moment. Learn to purify your aura & regulate your Energy Body with belt & thrusting channels. Give to and Receive chi from the environment with Positive & Negative Arm & Leg channels.  

The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer chi field, and allow you to “dance”
between your inner and outer life. The Wudang Mountain version of the macro-cosmic orbit will also be taught as the most powerful internal method I’ve found for
integrating the 8 Extraordinary Vessels into a continuous flowing circuit.

The macro-orbit is the foundation for opening chi flow to 8 Original Forces of Universe (I Ching trigram-tones). Powerful “8 Extraordinary Vessels” qigong form makes this practice simple to remember. It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by acupuncture. Many mysterious and chronic illnesses can be healed at the level, much faster than using acupuncture or herbs.  

Another new practice taught is my recently developed “9 Spirals of the Energy Body” in the four directions to integrate the Five Shen with the Five Directional Dragons. This practice connects the internal flow of your macro-cosmic orbit out to the edge of the universe – and back! A wonderfully empowering and healing journey.

This course lays a strong foundation for Healing Love and Water & Fire (Kan & Li)
Alchemy.

Pre-req: Fusion 1, live or by homestudy. Learning the energy channel work of Fusion 2/3 without doing the emotional body/inner pearl work of Fusion 1 is also possible, but not optimal. Email me first.

We have just three spaces left  – all you need a valid passport, we can get the entry visa for you at the last minute.

See this exciting itinerary on http://www.healingdao.com/chinatrip2010.html.

This will probably the only Dream Trip with Mantak Chia attending. He is coming to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Healing Tao with powerful ceremonies atop Mt. Wudang. We have a fantastic group of Taoists coming, folks from all levels of interest and skill. Five people from last year’s Dream Trip are coming again.

There are no pre-requisites, only a willingness to learn the magical Primordial Tai Chi form in advance. (see http//:taichi-enlightenment.com).

  For the Equinox and Solstices, I feel the most powerful movement ceremony is doing qigong. The movement of the physical body invokes your deepest soul essence (jing) if you are deeply centered while moving. When you combine a movement ritual with specific intention, it becomes neigong, or “internal skill in cultivating the life force”.  My favorite ceremonial form, as I’ve proclaimed many times, is one developed by the Taoist sage Chang San Feng, the creator of the original 13-movement tai chi form and its esoteric sister, Wuji gong. Wuji gong I translate as Primordial Qigong or Tai Chi for Enlightenment.

For more about its origins and efficacy, see http://www.taichi-enlightenment.com. My eBook on the form is nearly complete, and will offer many new insights to its hidden energetic patterns. It’s still not too late to send in your experience with the form! (just hit reply).

   The Yang family tai chi chi kung form taught by Mantak Chia is also a
lovely ceremonial form, as it circles left and right and interacts with the
chi of all five directions.

    My Deep Healing Qigong form is also very ceremonial in nature. It faces all the directions and harmonizes the outer manifesting chi field with the inward flowing field of chi. Doing just one of its six movements – the three part mandala of Sun-Earth exchange – transports me into an altered state. It’s called medical qigong simply because it was developed with that intention. But it could be directed to any other goal.

For Deep Healing Qigong DVD, see:

https://healingtaousa.com/deep_healing_qigong.html

   You don’t have to know a qigong form, although having one that you do
every solstice/equinox is more powerful. Using the same form “programs” and
empowers your energy body to contact the yuan chi at those times. It helps to capture/embody the elusive yuan chi, which our polarized egos don’t want to notice because it threatens our illusory belief that we are an island. Original Chi is boundary-less, so it challenges our belief that the energy we feel is uniquely ‘mine”, under “my” control.

   The truth is no one owns the chi field, and it is not controlled by any
one deity or external agent/God. It just IS. It is self-generating and
self-regulating. Everyone can use its abundance if we have the skill to do
it. We use it unconsciously all the time. But if we consciously use it to
promote harmony and balance in our life, the Tao will give us more to play
with. If we abuse the Life Force or over control for selfish ends, a natural contraction occurs. We will face increased resistance in our life and chi flow,
resulting possibly in suffering, disease, or death.

1. SACRED SPACE. keep it simple. Find or create a sacred space where no one disturbs you, indoors or out. The more neutral the better – if any element (wind, noise, sun) is too strong, it will distract you. If you light a
candle, put it in the east. Sunrise is perfect mini-equinox moment that
matches spring, with the sun rising in the east, but any time can work.

2. FOCUS INTENTION. Get a clear intention as to the ONE thing that is most
important to GROW or birth in your life in this moment. Do not attempt to
wish something for other people or even your own children – let them unfold
their own nature. Be specific, be concrete as to what you want to change and grow in yourself NOW. Do not use language delaying anything into the future. Receive it NOW.

    Don’t feel guilty about asking to GROW material things if they truly
would serve you best at this moment ( new car, a different job, a lover). Do
not ask for money except for the exact amount needed for a specific purpose – you risk growing unconscious greed or fear of not having money. So you would say, by example, “I need to grow a thousand dollars for this specific retreat I want to attend”. Or “I need to receive $200,000. IN ORDER to grow a new life and buy a house in Hawaii”. You don’t need to focus on the selling of your old house, just whatever it is you want to grow.

   Or grow a specific spiritual quality in your inner body-mind space, such
as a greater capacity for self-acceptance, other-acceptance, abilty to heal
a disease or a broken relationship, deeper power of meditation or movement
practice.

3. RITUALLY COMMUNICATE WITH CHI FIELD. After you have established the clear intention, face EAST (direction of Spring, sun bringing new life). Do your movement ritual, which may involve facing and gathering chi from all the directions. If you don’t have a chi kung or a short piece of a tai chi form, do spontaneous movement. After you finish, face east again.

4. RELEASE INTENTION TO FIELD OF YUAN CHI. Infuse a booster shot of yuan chi or Original Breath from the Equinox chi field into this specific desire.
Simply feel and mentally focus on your  desired goal very strongly, with all
the personal chi you can muster. Your specific desire polarizes the chi
field. Then release it into the larger chi field. This acts like a cosmic
lube job, as the field of yuan chi at Equinox will spontaneously attempt to
balance your desire. Nature now knows EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED has an easy path with little resistance to delivering what you truly need.

5. BE PREPARED TO ACCEPT CHANGE. A lot of people forget about this part of the deal. You want something new, and you do a powerful ceremony at a
powerful fluctuation in the chi field. But that means YOU have to change in
order to receive what you asked for. This can come as a nasty shock to some. You get the new lover you asked for, but s/he makes a lot of demands on your old comfortable way of life. Change is not just external — it must be matched by internal changes.

   I wish you a powerful ceremony and the power to digest what you invoke!
