nels pass through this region, and opening this center will
strengthen these organs as well as the knee, and prepare the pas-
sage for energy to go through at a later time. Be sure to draw the
energy up from the earth through the soles of the feet to the knees.- When you sense warmth or tingling, shift your attention back
to the Hui-yin (perineum), by directing the energy along the insides
of the thighs. - Now send the energy to the Chang-chiang (coccyx), the Ming-
men (opposite the navel), the Chi-chung (opposite the solar plexus),
up to the mid-point of the scapulae. - Here the energy divides into the left and right arms and de-
scends to the inside of the upper arms, down to the forearms, and
passes along the middle of the palm, the Lao-kun. Concentrate
here for a while and then feel the energy run along to the middle
finger. Then go up the outside of the forearm along the outside of
the middle of the upper arms, reaching the shoulder region. Here
the energy rejoins on the spine between the shoulder blades. - Continuing on to the neck and up into the crown, allow the chi
to descend to the tongue, where its way back to the, navel again,
thereby completing the Microcosmic Orbit.
The Large Heavenly Orbit is part of the Fusion of the Five Ele-
ments. The second level of the Taoist Esoteric Yoga, Fusion of the
Five elements, opens the other 6 psychic channels plus the Micro-
cosmic (2 channels) which equals 8 channels.
