Awaken Healing Energy

To prevent stiffness, promote flexibility, and ensure an easier

flow of energy upon awakening each morning, stretch your ten-

dons, clench your teeth, and swallow your saliva. To stretch your

tendons,

sit up with your legs extended out in front of you and grab your toes

or ankles. Exhale completely and gradually bend at the waist

stretching forward with your hands as far as you can go without

straining. Practice nine times. Next beat your teeth together nine

times then use your tongue to massage you gums. This will pre-

vent gum disease and exercise your tongue. We deal with this

more in the Chi Massage (Taoist Rejuvenation).

How to Sit

Sit on the edge of a chair using your sittingbones to find that deli-

cate place of balance which will help hold you erect. Men should

allow the scrotum to hang freely in the air; when the testes are

freely suspended it is easier to draw in energy and awaken the

sleeping giant within. The sitting position for women is the same

except that if women sit in the nude or are scantily clad they should

cover the genitalia to avoid energy loss. The back must be com-

fortably erect, the head bowed slightly forward, the feet firmly planted

on the floor. The feet are the ground wire, and have ten channels of

energy flow in each leg. In order to keep the energy flow fully in

each leg, keep your legs in touch with the ground.
