the microcosmic orbit

The nervous system is capable of directing the energy wherever it is needed.

Taoist masters have discovered the existence of the microcosmic orbit, or small heavenly cycle, a main energetic circuit, consisting of the governing channel (Governing Vessel meridian) and the function channel (Conception Vessel meridian). The tongue positioned behind the lower teeth (natural position of the tongue) allows to connect these two energy currents.

By circulating energy, consciousness, in the governing channel and the function channel, organs, nervous system and cells are stimulated.

To contribute effectively to the energy balance of the body and calm the mind (Shen), drive energy in the listed order and in a meditative posture (the spine should be straight with the muscles stretched and relaxed).

Before focusing on the energy flowing through the microcosmic orbit, take a deep breath and relax the whole body.

o Method 1:

1. Choose and visualize the infinity symbol 8 or a circle O or the yin and yang
2. Visualize this symbol on point 12, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
3. Put the tongue in contact with the palate against the back of the upper teeth
4. Take in a deep breath, contract the perineum (point 12) then conduct the energy from point 1 to 7
5. Let out the deep breath, release the perineum, the tongue and circulate the energy from point 7 to 12
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 in a loop
    

o Method 2:

1. View the "Om" symbol
2. Inhale deeply
3. Make the sound "Oooo" by visualizing the sound circulating from the perineum to the top of the skull passing through the spine
4. Make the sound "Mmm" by visualizing the sound circulating from the top of the skull to the perineum, passing through points 6 to 12
5. Repeat steps 2 to 5 in a loop

The ideal is to do yoga before this practice in order to facilitate the flow of energy in the body.

" The more the muscles of the body are relaxed, the more the energies circulate and the more the mind is relaxed."
