Chapter 5: Beginning Fusion Element Meditation
Li: Second Sound
a. The second sound is Li (Yang-Yin-Yang), the power symbol of
the Fire, connected with the heart, the prospering power. The
eyes look up at the upper abdominal, the Li Kua. The sound
comes out from the area between the chest and the throat.
Repeat this sound until you feel the vibration of the fire expanding
upwards in the chest.
When you chant Li you feel the energy going up.
When you say Li the eyes look up.
