This can later include your arms and legs, at which time you are
said to have completed the full Microcosmic Orbit within the Large
Heavenly Cycle.
- Everyone, regardless of age, must conclude their practice
by directing the energy downward. Collect it in the navel and circu-
late it from 3 to 36 times in either direction. This is absolutely es-
sential as a precaution against energy getting “stuck” in some other
parts of the body.
Circulate Chi Power
Continuously in the Orbit
When you have completed the route point by point you are ready to
continuously circulate the “chi” power in the Microcosmic Orbit. It
is the steady flow of this warm energy current that offers the most
powerful results in the self-healing process.
1.To do this, when you concentrate, begin at the navel. When
you feel the power, bring it down to the Hui-yin, the coccyx. Then
up into the spinal cord, stopping at the Ming-men and then going
on to the pineal gland, on top of the head, where you concentrate
for about ten minutes.
- After you feel the power flowing into the forehead, at the mid-
brow region concentrate on the pituitary gland, (Yin-Tang) for an-
other ten minutes. After that, bring the power down to the navel.
Concentrate here for a short while until you sense some energy
and then bring it down to the Hui-Yin again. - Then start the Microcosmic Orbit Small Heavenly Cycle
around the trunk of your body, circulating it thirty six rounds, bring-
ing the power to the coccyx and letting it flow up the spinal cord, to
the Chi Chung or the mid-point of the adrenal glands. - Count from one to ten repeatedly for one half hour for its
calming, purifying and cleansing effect. When you are more ad-
vanced all you need do is concentrate on the point. You no long
need to count. Then bring your attention up to your head and stop
at the Niwan-Kung, the pineal gland where you can again count
from 1-10 for resting, purifying and cleansing. - Thereafter, bring it down to the Hui-Yin again. This is one
round of the Microcosmic Orbit and it is to be done thirty-six times.
