Chapter 7: Opening the Thrusting Channels
Practice of Opening the Thrusting Channels
1. Form a Pearl and Send it to the Perineum
In a seated position smile down to your organs and glands, and
put yourself in a state of relaxation and happiness. Begin with the
meditation exercises of the Creation Cycle to form a pearl of compassion
energy.
As you have learned, there are many steps in forming such a
pearl. However, once you have programmed yourself to all of these
steps through continued practice, you can simply push the button
and the whole program is activated. When you are able simply to
sit quietly and feel the sensation of compassion energy forming,
you are pushing the button and the entire process takes very little
time. In other words once you have experienced compassion energy,
all you need to do is to recall the state to create the energy
again. You will not need to go through the entire process each time.
You will know when you look at the pearl whether or not the process
has been completed. If you find something is not right, you
can review the steps and find out where the problem is.
As the pearl is forming, use your mind and senses to control it.
Slowly move it down to the perineum. At any time during your practice,
if the pearl seems to weaken, diminish, or you lose track of it,
return to the navel and quickly form a new pearl. Bring that pearl to
the perineum and resume practice.
While you are learning how to bring the energy up through the
channels, it is easier to focus on the organs the channel passes
through than to focus on the channel. You might think of the process
as learning how to read. Once you are able to read, you no
longer have to think about your ABC’s.
2. Stage One: Thrusting Channels to Below the Diaphragm
A. Left Thrusting Channel to the Diaphragm
In all Universal Tao practices it is important to train the power of the
mind and senses to control our energy (Chi). The power of mind,
eye and heart guides the Chi, providing a way to control and direct
your life force. Breathing techniques also help to activate the Thrusting
Channels. It is necessary to have some control over independent
breathing through each nostril. Since in the beginning this is
difficult to do, you can use your right index finger to cover the right
nostril. Feel the breath on the left side only. Use the left eye, ear,
and nostril to assist you in drawing up the energy.
