Cosmic Fusion<br />
imbalances within the body. Hence the predominant attention in<br />
Chinese medicine and Taoist self-healing practice on the balancing<br />
and strengthening of the organs and their cooperative relationships.<br />
The Taoist view on the outer and inner universe (the body), is<br />
the fruit of several thousands of years of highly sophisticated empirical<br />
observation. Thusly, feeling and sensing in the body and its<br />
structure, processes and needs, play a crucial role in creating balance<br />
within the body and between its organs and their energies, so<br />
that inner peace and harmony may grow (Formula 2, Fusion of the<br />
Five Elements)<br />
Turning Inward<br />
This involves a process of turning inward and to feel and sense<br />
oneself “from within” so that understanding can grow. This in turn<br />
further supports the effectiveness of the inward-oriented process<br />
of listening. By turning the senses inward and reconnecting them<br />
with their corresponding organs (ears/kidneys, eyes/liver, tongue/<br />
heart, mouth/spleen, nose/lungs) the process of externalizing the<br />
consciousness and thereby draining the energies out of the body<br />
can be inverted. This allows the body to come to rest and recuperate<br />
its energies and the connected senses.<br />
By protecting the senses from undue outside influences, the life<br />
force energies in the body and the higher energies it accumulates,<br />
through the blending with the energies from all the directions, but<br />
especially those from the stars and the sun and moon and planets,<br />
are preserved and can grow without interference (Cosmic Fusion,<br />
Formula 3).<br />
This process of protection is further deepened and completed<br />
in the high formula of Sealing the Five Senses of the Kan and Li<br />
Practices where protective auras are created around the body from<br />
the accumulated energies of each of the major organs.<br />
There is abundant evidence that in the process of externalization<br />
which has been imposed on the body in the process of modernization<br />
and its growing pressures on the body, the senses have become<br />
atrophied. By turning them inward, it becomes more easy to<br />
control them and protect the integrity of the body and its organs so<br />
that it can regenerate.<br />
