Sixth Energy Center: Chi-chung
(Opposite the Solar Plexus on the Spine)
The sixth energy center is located between the adrenal glands (T-
11), opposite the solar plexus on the spine.
The adrenals stimulate the inner part of the medulla in the brain,
which prepares the organism for fight or flight. The outer part, the
cortex, governs sodium balance and is involved in blood sugar level.
Those who have diabetes may find that concentration on this point
will help them to lower their blood sugar level. Allergy sufferers
may also find relief by concentrating here.
If you are weak or ill, you can concentrate on this point any time.
This practice can be very stimulating. Young people and those who
are stronger, should not focus on the Chi-chung in the evening
because it will keep them awake.Stimulate the Pancreas
When you concentrate on the Chi-chung (adrenal gland), you also
activate or stimulate the pancreas. Like the adrenal glands, the
pancreas is involved in blood sugar level and concentration on this
point may have a normalizing effect. Whether this can help those
who have diabetes would have to be born out by extended tests
with many subjects under controlled conditions for a considerable
period of time. However, without doubt, there would be improve-
ment in the condition. As you continue concentrating on this point
the power will collect and gradually push its way up to your head.
The power of this point is the mixture of that found at the navel
(point no. 3), the coccyx body (point no. 4) and the harmony of the
kidney power (point no. 5).Seventh Energy Center:
Yu-Chen/Back of the Neck
The Yu-Chen is the cerebellum. This part of the brain controls breath-
ing, heartbeat, and various functions associated with the automatic
nervous system. Thus, when the chi passes up the back to the Yu-
Chen point many changes will occur. Many different kinds of breath-
ing patterns become available and are activated naturally accord-
ing to necessity.Chapter V
