Cosmic Healing II

Chapter VII

Fig. 7.10 The Pearl in the Tan Tien has a function similar to that

of the Sun in our Solar System.

At the end of the meditation the North Star will be brought into the sun in the Middle Tan

Tien. After that both will be put in the earth or the Lower Tan Tien (“Three in one prin-

ciple”). This connective and gathering process symbolizes unification, or the spiritual

world becoming the core of your life.

In China the planets have been used in connection with the Five Elements and the Five

Heavenly Palaces in their relationship with the 28 Lunar Mansions for thousands of years.

The planets were called the “naked eye five” or the “five stars” or sometimes the “five

pacers”. The precise movements of the planets as seen from the earth was not a focus

point for the ancient Taoist, although the trajectories were approximately known by about

the fifth century. The translation of the Chinese name of the planets gives us an idea of

the nature of their energy.
