Completing the Microcosmic Orbit does not mean that some
special sense will be opened to you, though the energy or chi vi-
brating in the brain and coursing back and forth through the ner-
vous system can lead to various aberrations of the senses. You
may see and hear many unusual things, but all of them will simply
be illusions, so try to ignore them.
Some practitioners describe being surrounded by light. Tradi-
tional Chinese masters would explain such an experience as be-
ing due to some physical ailment which gradually reflects outwardly.
Those who have weak kidneys or a low sex drive will reflect a black
light. Those with liver illness find that the light that is reflected is
green. People with heart disease report seeing red light. Lung dis-
ease is expressed as a white light. Spleen and stomach illness is
indicated in yellow and for those with gall bladder disease, the light
which is reflected will be black. If the redness of the eyes does not
go away after practicing for two or three hours, you should consult
a doctor.Ninth Energy Center:
Yin-Tang/Brow Point between Eyes
The Yin-tang is the pituitary gland and is called the “Tsu Chiao” or
the Original Cavity of the Spirit by Taoists. In fact, there are many
names for it in the Taoist Encyclopedia (Life Palace, Yu Ting, Jade
Cauldron, etc.). This point is located between the eyebrows, above
the nasal cavity. It is the master endocrine control gland, regulating
growth, gonadal function, the adrenals and the thyroid.
It is said to govern the forebrain, vision, the right eye, as well as
being the seat of love, compassion, knowledge, integration or per-
sonality, love of humanity and devotion. It is further said to be the
seat of intelligence, conceptual memory (reading, thinking, study-
ing), linear sequential time consciousness, abstract and concep-
tual thinking, compulsiveness, racism, sexism and paranoia.
The pituitary and the pineal gland are extremely important when
completing the routes, for it is at these two points that you can
check your power flow. When you concentrate on the navel and
store power there, energy suddenly rises up and passes through
the Niwan (the pineal gland). The next checking point is the Yin
Tang (the pituitary gland). When you have completed the Micro-
cosmic Orbit you can use these two, the Niwan and the Yin- tang,Chapter V
