Waking Energy 7 Timeless Practices Designed to Reboot Your Body and Unleash Your Potential

11.06.2017 Views

1. Sitting tall, rub your hands together vigorously to charge them with heaven and earth energy. Bring your hands in front of your chest at the level of your lungs with your palms open and facing you—with the fingertips pointing toward one another. Smile at your lungs, as if you were smiling at a long-lost friend, and allow the positive energy of your smile to fill and surround your lungs. 2. Close your eyes. Use your powers of creative visualization to transport yourself to a scene of snowcapped mountains surrounded by fresh green meadows and flowing springs far below. Picture the pure white color of the snow and see the sun shining on the mountaintop, activating the powerful life-force chi of white light. Feel the energy of the mountain. Hear the sound of a metal bell ringing inside your mind. Inhale the pure, fresh, white light, inviting the energy to expand into your lungs and heal them, and allow the vibration of the bell to sound in your ears, soothing your spirit. 3. Inhale and direct your inner vision down to your lungs. Send the energy of your smile to your lungs. First, look down at your left lung and smile. Actually let your eyes move as if you were looking at your chest, but with eyes closed. Then look down at your right lung and smile. Alternate between left and right. As you do so, gently sway your body in tandem with your inner vision, rocking your body from left to right. 4. As you sway from left to right, allow your inner vision to probe the lungs more deeply, going into their lower lobes and exploring what’s inside them. As you do, continue to breathe deeply and smoothly, sending healing air into your lungs. 5. Now seek out any sadness or depression that resides in the lungs. Seek out any thoughts that arise about who or what has contributed to the sadness or grief you feel. As you do this inner exploration and excavation, sway from left to right (one set) for a total of twenty-one sets. I like to think of this process as treasure hunting, because when you uncover sadness and can identify its source, you are essentially harvesting a gift that you can use for energy transformation—you can replace the emotion with courage and lightness—which translates as more energy. 6. After completing all the repetitions, raise your hands above your head, slightly in front of your forehead, and turn your palms face up toward the sky to connect with heaven energy. 7. Inhale deeply and as you exhale, turn the corners of your mouth up, forming your mouth into a smile. Place your tongue behind your front two top teeth and use the force of your exhalation to make the cosmic healing sound “Sssssss,” like a snake hissing. As you make the snake sound, visualize any sadness, depression, grief, and upset leaving your body like a cloudy, gray mist. Direct the energy down into the earth where it will be recycled by plants, flowers, and trees, the gifts from Mother Earth that provide us with our sustenance, precious oxygen. Make the Ssssss sound three times. As you do, feel the sound begin clearing inside your lungs, mobilizing stagnant chi and any excess heat that was trapped inside the pleural sacs surrounding the lungs. Visualize your exhalations compressing the lungs and gently forcing the heat up and out of your body. See the room being made for new chi to flow in along with the fresh, cooling air that will circulate and nourish the lungs. Allow the first sound to be vocal and strong, and then the second and third times you repeat it make it subtle, and then subvocal. Internally heard, it becomes a deep inner vibration. Feel the quietude emerging from the vibration, the energy surrounding the act of breathing, rather than from using force to back up the sound. Think of why you are making the sound, and focus on integrating the qualities of the mountain scene and the sound of the bell from step 1 into your sound.

8. Once you’ve completed three exhalations using the Ssssss sound, shift your focus to the laogong points in your palms and use them to collect heavenly yang chi. See white light pouring down through your crown and your laogong points into your lungs. Do this for several rounds of breath. Then lower your arms to the front of your body, palms facing inward toward your lungs, and sense the luminescent white light radiating into your lungs and instilling you with courage, fortitude, and calm. After a breath or two, bring your hands down to rest on your knees. 9. Now resume gently rocking from side to side, and as you do smile at your lungs, inhaling deeply. As you exhale, let go, relaxing more deeply all the while and imagining you are still making the healing Ssssss sound. Let go of any additional excess heat and toxins. Then feel fresh, white light and bright bell energy entering your lungs, making them strong, clear, and resolute. As you inhale, see earth flowing up through your Bubbling Spring Points and leg channels and into the space that you have made by releasing the stagnant energy. Let the earth give you energy it has transformed, filling you with courage, confidence, and peace. Use the positive earth energy to nourish your lungs and other organs. 10. After several breaths of smiling at your lungs and letting go of sadness and grief, perform an especially attentive search to seek out remnants of negative emotions that you can still perceive, and actively “delete” them. As you do, continue rocking gently from side to side and bring your hands up to the level of your lungs again. This time, spread your fingers apart with tips pointing at each other. Once again, turn your focus inward to look keenly at the lungs, looking left to right, back and forth, repeatedly for several breath cycles. As you are sweeping through your lungs with your eyes and your breath, literally imagine yourself pushing a “delete” key on a computer to clear your lungs of negative remnants. 11. Now, as you continue to inhale, sit taller so that you can embody the virtue of courage. With your palms still facing you at the heart and lung level, breathe in the energy of courage and righteousness or alignment with your own truth (not to be confused with self-righteousness, which speaks more to pride). Breathe in right action, positive self-satisfaction, and sincerity. Feel good inside. Tell yourself that you feel good and that you’re going to feel even better. As you smile into your lungs, allow yourself to fill with self-love, so much that your lungs expand with your own beautiful, white inner light and the crystal-true ring of your personal bell tone. Let a deep, all-pervasive white glow emanate from your lungs and beam itself outward from your body. Acknowledge that you have created it, feel gratitude, and smile at yourself. Continue to sense the vibration of the bell inside your lungs, hear it in your mind, ringing sweetly in your ears. Rest and soak up the benefits of the work you’ve just done. The clean, clear, pure, powerful, white light of love will continue to heal your lungs and build your clarity, courage, and strength long after you have finished this session. 12. Repeat the above sequence of steps three to six times. In moments of respiratory-related illness, such as asthma, cough, and bronchial conditions of any kind or of emotional upset from sadness, grief, or depression, repeat this sequence as many times as your instincts lead you to do.
