Can lipomas inhibit the microcosmic orbit from commencing?

I personally don’t have lipomas. Since they are small and very near the outer skin they shouldn’t have any effect on circulating your energy.

A note about the word commencing in your title. If energy wasn’t circulating at all you would be dead. So it does not need commencing, you just have to practice and open yourself to start feeling the circulation already going on.

You can have blockages that prevent the smooth flow of energy anywhere in your body. The cause of the stuck energy can be emotional which may/may not also be a root factor in your lipomas.

If you keep practicing the basics you will progress and eventually feel the energy flow, just keep at it, persevere. Use all of the basic tools to help (healing sounds, inner smile, etc.) If you have questions or want someone to comment on what you are doing, post some details about your practice.

Hope my reply is helpful.

“Mine are rather larger, unfortunately. Some of them are up to 2 inches roughly in somewhat of a spherical shape.”

I thought they might be a few centimeters. I think Mantak Chia’s Chi Nei Tsang book mentions the cause of lymphoma is the lymphatic system gets overburdened and needs to be detoxified.

“Is the energy that we’re working with more electrical or etheric (closer to orgone)?”

It is etheric but has electrical properties but is not electricity. I am not well versed in Orgone but will guess Orgone is a type of environmental qi.

“If it’s primarily electrical, fatty deposits should act as more of an insulator, inhibition optimal flow.”

It isn’t primarily electrical but has electric like properties (don’t take it so literal or read into it too much like an electrical engineering material). Maybe they are inhibiting the flow but only you can find that out. When you can start to feel if it is inhibiting or not then you are making progress.

“I’ve been using many of the basic tools you mentioned, but still felt that progress was extremely slow.

I understand, we all would like instantaneous results. Having expectations may actually inhibit progress, don’t. You have to persevere and keep at it and let the life force know what you would like it to do. Repeat and repeat, you are practicing a skill. I’ve practiced on street corners, bathrooms and in the car. If you can also guide yourself by listening to an audio cd or watch a dvd to reinforce.

“I’ve recently incorporated hitting to help relieve heat in the body. I like it….it feels like a cousin to cupping and gua sha.”

Just an observation, seems like you need to do medical techniques, do you have an excessive heat issue?

Hope it helps.
