The Microcosmic helps the body resist sickness by keeping the
energy in harmony. The inner smile is the model of loving yourself
with pure, unconditional love. By practicing the inner smile and cir-
culating chi in the Microcosmic Orbit we come to understand our
body on a deeper level and learn to create love, respect and self-
esteem within ourselves. Our body is potentially a perfect machine
to serve our mind and spirit. But we can have a perfect machine
only if each part functions harmoniously with the others.
The Microcosmic enables you to put an 8,000 year old discov-
ery by Chinese Masters into use in your daily life. Its applications
are endless. Continued practice can bring greater calmness, clar-
ity, and energy to every aspect of your current life. By circulating
chi in the orbit, you also open the door to discovering priceless
higher knowledge of the Tao, he harmonious way of nature.
