Universal Tao Basic Practices and Preparation Exercises- Reach up with your right hand, and hold on to the handle of the Big Dipper. Pour the
violet light down to your Personal Star 4 to 6 inches above your head, in order to
predigest the energy of the violet light. Then let it flow down to your crown, into the
Upper Tan Tien, to be processed and flow down to the Heart Center (Middle Tan Tien)
or to the back of the head down to C-7 (Cervical 7) and T-2 (Thoracic 2) and down to
the palms.
Fig. 2.5 North Star and Big Dipper connecting with the Crown.- Always remember to breathe in slowly so you can process the awareness of the Lower
Tan Tien. Feel a suction, warmth (Chi) and continue to breathe in and be aware of the
suction of the Crown, North Star and Big Dipper above you.
Fill the Joints with Chi.............................................................................................
The bones have the ability to process cosmic Chi (Chi above and around you) to be used
by your body. The joints are also able to store Chi which serves as a cushion between the
bones.
- Be aware of your index fingers and thumbs. Feel Chi enter the fingers and the joints;
this will make them tense and stiff. The stiffness and tension come from the Chi filling in
the joints and pushing the fingers to become longer. Keep all fingers tense with Chi
and slightly raise the index fingers and open the thumbs to the sides. Feel the thumbs
tense. Breathe into the fingertips, until you feel the sensation of Chi entering the fin-
gers. Continue to breathe in the Chi and the stiff feeling will go from the fingers to the
wrist, elbow and shoulder joints, making the whole area tense and stiff, so the fingers
and the arms become one piece. Chi will gradually fill every joint of the body and make
the whole body become one piece.
