Chapter 5: Beginning Fusion Element Meditation
The first step is to form the pakua at the lower abdomen to connect
with and attract the five energies and the eight forces. The
goal is to balance and transform the emotional energies of the organs.
The next step is to form the facial pakua. The facial pakua
gathers and transforms the energy of the senses and the thoughts
down to the lower abdomen. The Universal pakua is then created
to gather and collect the energy of the Universe into the lower abdomen.
All these energies once gathered are condensed into an
energy ball, or a pearl of white light. This highly refined ball of energy
is then circulated through all the channels as a way to open,
heal and revitalize the body, mind and spirit. This is the beginning
of the transference of consciousness to a new realm.

Chanting in the Pakua is very similar to the sound in the genes
when the replicating strands of DNA cross over. The eight sounds
are the song of the crossing of the chromosomes like two serpents
entwining and then they making love and one becomes two.
The pakua is a symbolic representation of the forces of nature.
By chanting the names of these forces, we are able to make a
connection with that force. Also, Yin and Yang are chanted as a
way to contract and expand energy. The combination of chanting
the forces and Yin and Yang helps to bring the power of the Universe
to you as a tuning fork.
Chanting greatly increases the power and the coherence of the
Pearl. After toning all eight directions, the forces of the Universe
