Cosmic Fusion
Chapter 4
Energetic Preparations for
Meditation Practice
Meditation practices are enhanced by developing one’s sensitivity
to subtle energy and by exercising to improve postural alignment,
increase flexibility of the spine and deepen relaxation of the physical
body. The next sections present a series of suggested exercises
to help the student meet these goals.
Chi has many sensations. Some of the most common are tingling,
heat, expansion, an electrical sensation (like the feeling of
static electricity), pulsation or effervescence. This is not the actual
Chi itself, but the signs of increasing Chi in a particular area. Chi
itself is more mysterious, subtle beyond definition. For more details
in the practices of Spinal Cord Breathing, Rocking the Spine
and the Inner Smile to relax the whole body check with the book by
Mantak Chia “Awaken Healing Light”.
Preparing for the Fusion Meditations
Prepare the Environment
Find a quiet place to meditate where there are no distractions. Some
places have naturally peaceful Chi: mountains, forests, caves,
gardens, monasteries or beautifully designed meditation rooms.
Once you have experienced such a place, you can just recall it.
Set aside a corner of your room for your practice and recall your
connection to the forces of nature.
Keep your meditation place clean and pleasant.
Avoid interruptions. Plan to meditate early in the morning before
other people are awake: the body is rested, the air is fresh, and the
earth itself is energized.
Late at night is also fine. Select a time that works well for you
with your own rhythms and schedule.
If you allow yourself time each day to cleanse your emotional,
energetic and physical bodies, you will soon reap the rewards in
every area of your life.
