Fusion of the Five Elements I is the first level of meditation in a Taoist practice also known as Fusion of the Five Forces in the Universe. It is the beginning of Inner Alchemy, a scientific process by which you gain control over the energies of your inner universe so that a connection can be made to the tremendous energy of the universe beyond the body. This energy becomes useful for self-healing, day-to-day living, and reaching spiritual goals. Fusion I meditation is the first step in learning to control the generation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within your body. The practice teaches you how to locate and dissolve the negative energies hidden inside your body. Using the Taoist Five Element Theory, a connection is made between the five outer senses?eyes, tongue, mouth, nose, ears-and the five major emotions-anger, hate, worry, sadness, and fear. Once the negative emotion is identified with the organ it is stored in, it can he controlled. Fusion I meditation shows you step by step how the negative emotions are removed from the organs. Negative emotions are neither suppressed nor expressed. Instead, their negative energy is brought to specific points in the body where it is easily neutralized, purified, and then transformed back into your original positive, creative energy. The great secret of crystallising and storing your original positive energy in the mysterious pearl is revealed for the first time in the Fusion alchemical formula. This pearl is the essence of our life force energy, or Chi. It is central to nourishing the physical body and later to nourishing the soul, or energy, body. In more advanced Fusion practices, your soul/energy body becomes very controllable and ifs power can be balanced, strengthened, and expanded to connect with the essence of the Earth and Star energies. The Fusion of the Five Elements I practice is the essential first step toward complete emotional and spiritual development. In this useful and informative work, Master Mantak Chia leads you step by step to becoming an emotionally balanced, controlled and strong individual while offering you the key to an immortal existence.

Qigong (?chi kung?) is one of the oldest exercises in Chinese history dating back over 1000 years. Many believe it has near-magical power to transform your mental and physical health. Qigong uses a variety of easy-to-learn breathing and meditative exercises to strengthen your qi (?chi?), the life energy within. The stronger your qi, the healthier you are. According to ancient Chinese philosophy, all things in the universe are made up of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These elements all have different properties: earth nurtures all living things, water irrigates the earth, metal is sharp, wood grows and fire is hot. While one evolves from another, they also negate each other. For example, wood gives life to fire - but water quenches it. These five elements also represent the five major organs of the body. The 5 Element Qigong helps you keep the elements in harmony, and is remarkably effective in promoting relaxation, mental concentration, health and fitness. This video will teach you the 5 Element Qigong, step-by-step, along with warm up, ?washing qi? (wind down) exercises - and a bonus demonstration of the Sun Style Tai Chi Forms.

Young or old, sedentary or athletic: it is likely that one out of every seven of us will be afflicted with arthritis in our lifetime.

Chinese medicine, over the last four thousand years, has developed many of its own methods to treat arthritis, including qigong exercises, acupuncture, massage, and herbal treatments. By doing qigong exercises, you can effectively treat many types of arthritis and rebuild the strength of your joints, which is the root of complete healing.

Chinese Qigong can be generally categorised into External Elixir (Wai Dan) and Internal Elixir (Nei Dan) Qigong. The first step of practicing Internal Elixir Qigong has been known as Small Cyclic Heaven (Small Circulation or Microcosmic Meditation). After completing Small Cyclic Heaven, a practitioner will learn Grand Cyclic Heaven (Grand Circulation or Macrocosmic Meditation). The purpose of Grand Cyclic Heaven is to re-open the Heaven Eye (Third Eye) to unite the natural spirit and human spirit. This is the ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment in both Daoism (Taoism) and Buddhism. Although these kinds of meditations are popular, very few scientific books or documents are available to the public. The Foundation of Internal Elixir Cultivation In order to reach the goal of longevity and spiritual enlightenment, the Qigong practitioner must learn Internal Elixir Qigong. The first step to learning is to understand the theory and the method of Embryonic Breathing. Practicing this breathing technique will help you to establish your central energy system, conserve your energy, and store this energy to abundant levels. Once you have established this foundation, you will be able to practice Small Cyclic Heaven (Small Circulation or Microcosmic Orbit) and Grand Cyclic Heaven (Grand Circulation of Macrocosmic Orbit) effectively. It is understood that without this foundation, the root of spiritual enlightenment will not be established and the study and the practice of spiritual enlightenment, through meditation, will be in vain. Features: > Embryonic Breathing theory & techniques were kept secret in Buddhist & Daoist (Taoist) monasteries > Dr. Yang discusses most of the available documents, translates & comments upon them > Scientific analysis & summary of the practice methods > A comprehensive, straightforward way to understand & practice Embryonic Breathing.

Small Circulation, or the Microcosmic Orbit, is the practice of circulating energy Qi within the human body through the two main pathways, or 'vessels', of the body. This practice is considered to be the foundation of Internal Elixir Qigong, and was a fundamental step on the path of meditation training in ancient times. Over the centuries, this practice has slowly been lost from many meditation traditions, and its importance has been forgotten. Small Circulation regulates the Qi circulating in the Twelve Primary Qi channels, making it abundant throughout the entire body, which has been known for centuries for promoting health and longevity. This is also the foundation of Muscle/Tendon Changing Qigong (Yi Jin), which deeply conditions and strengthens the body. It is advised that you begin your meditation training by practicing Embryonic Breathing, which will help you to establish your central energy system, and to conserve and store this energy to abundant levels. Building on this foundation, Small Circulation is the next required stage of meditation training. Ultimately, one then practices Grand Circulation Meditation, which circulates Qi everywhere in the body and exchanges it with partners and the surrounding environment. Its purpose is to open the third eye and reunite the human spirit with the spirit of nature. This book contains translation and analysis of many ancient documents used to transmit Small Circulation and Internal Elixir cultivation to future generations, and offers modern scientific explanation for learning and training safely. Though meditation is popular today for relaxation and general health, the ultimate goal of this training, in both Daoism (Taoism) and Buddhism, is spiritual enlightenment. >Small Circulation Meditation builds the body from weak to strong and trains the mind to be calm and focused >Dr. Yang presents a modern method for learning safely >Includes scientific analysis, translation and commentary of ancient documents, and a summary of the practice methods.

Techniques for preparing and using the Golden Elixir to achieve optimum health and spiritual vitality. >Includes practical exercises & postures to produce regenerative effects in one's own saliva >Reveals how combining saliva with the hormonal fluids released during sexual practices creates the Elixir of Immortality. Golden Elixir is the fountain or water of life. It is the combination of saliva, hormonal fluids, and external essences that when mixed together become the Elixir of Immortality. Saliva has long been considered by Taoists as a key component for optimum health. Some Taoist texts recommend swallowing the saliva up to 1,000 times a day to promote physical healing. Thousands of years ago Taoists became aware of changes in the taste and consistency of saliva that accompanied meditative practices. They learned that by combining saliva with the hormonal fluids and essences released during sexual activities a powerful elixir is formed. Taoists believe that this Golden Elixir is not only a physical healing agent, but also is a major transformative agent in preparing for higher spiritual work. Golden Elixir Chi Kung contains twelve postures that develop and utilise the healing power of saliva. Ten of these involve gathering energy and forces through the body's hair, which acts as a negative-energy filter and can also be used to store surplus positive energy. Taoists regard the hair as antennae extending out into nature and the universe. By utilising the practices in this book, readers can develop self-healing abilities and establish a better connection to the universe as a whole. This book is also published under the title, Elixir Chi Kung: Creating The Golden Earth Pill. (For this item please quote stock ID 22865) ISBN: 9781594770265

The Lesser Enlightenment of Kan and Li practice combines the compassion of the heart energies (yang/fire) with sexual energies originating in the kidneys (yin/water) to form and feed the soul or energy body. Practice of the Chinese formula Siaow Kan Li (yin and yang mixed) uses darkness technology to literally “steam” the sexual energy (jing) into life-force energy (chi) by reversing the location of yin and yang power. This inversion places the heat of the bodily fire from the heart center beneath the coolness of the bodily water of the sexual energy of the perineum, thereby activating the liberation of transformed sexual energy. Darkness technology has been a key element of Taoist practice--and of all Inner Alchemy traditions--throughout the ages. A total darkness environment stimulates the pineal gland to release DMT into the brain. The darkness actualizes successively higher states of consciousness, correlating with the accumulation of psychedelic chemicals in the brain. In the darkness, mind and soul begin to wander freely in the vast realms of psychic and spiritual experience. Death is no longer to be feared because life beyond the physical body is known through direct experience. The birth of the soul is not a metaphor. It is an actual process of converting energy into a subtle body. Developing the soul body is the preparation for the growth of the immortal spirit body in the practice of the Greater Enlightenment of Kan and Li.

Qigong (‘chi kung’) is one of the oldest exercises in Chinese history dating back over 1000 years. Many believe it has near-magical power to transform your mental and physical health. Qigong uses a variety of easy-to-learn breathing and meditative exercises to strengthen your qi (‘chi’), the life energy within. The stronger your qi, the healthier you are. According to ancient Chinese philosophy, all things in the universe are made up of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These elements all have different properties: earth nurtures all living things, water irrigates the earth, metal is sharp, wood grows and fire is hot. While one evolves from another, they also negate each other. For example, wood gives life to fire - but water quenches it. These five elements also represent the five major organs of the body. The 5 Element Qigong helps you keep the elements in harmony, and is remarkably effective in promoting relaxation, mental concentration, health and fitness. This DVD will teach you the 5 Element Qigong, step-by-step, along with warm up, ‘washing qi’ (wind down) exercises - and a bonus demonstration of the Sun Style Tai Chi Forms.

Moreover, chronic pain was not previously all that well understood ... If no underlying cause could be found for the pain, then the patient was told that very few treatments are available, or worse, the pain must be in your head ...' - www.spine-health.com 'About 80 percent of the population suffers from a bout of low back pain at some point in their life... For obvious reasons, athletes are at greater risk of sustaining a lumbar (lower) spine injury due to physical activity' - University of Maryland Medicine. Young or old, sedentary or athletic; it is likely that you will experience some sort of back pain injury in your lifetime. Since the spine is the root of all motion, a healthy back is vital to well-being. Although Western Medicine has made great progress in treating spinal illnesses and lower back pain, it has only limited success in actually healing it. Chinese Medicine, over the last four thousand years, has developed many of its own methods to treat spine problems, including Qigong exercises, acupuncture, massage, and herbal treatments. By doing Qigong exercises, you can effectively treat many cases of spinal illnesses and rebuild the strength of your torso, which is the root of complete healing. This book introduces Qigong exercises that can restore the health of the spine. Some of the exercises are designed to heal a condition, others to help rebuild the strength of the joints, still others to help keep the back healthy and prevent further problems from developing.

Once a martial art, now the practice that strengthens the internal organs, roots oneself solidly, and unifies physical, mental and spiritual health. Perfect the body to win great health, increase performance, fight disease, protect the vital organs from injury and lay the groundwork for higher spiritual practice. Direct the internal power to strengthen the internal organs, increase Chi pressure in the connective tissue or fascia and develop rooting power. In the days before gunpowder, Iron Shirt Chi Kung was one of the principle martial arts which built powerful bodies able to withstand hand-to-hand combat. Even then, however; martial use was only one aspect of Iron Shirt and today, its other aspects remain vitally significant for anyone seeking better health, a sane mind and spiritual growth. 'Iron Shirt' refers to the fact that its unique system of breathing exercises which permanently pack concentrated air into the fascia (connective tissues), surrounding the vital organs, make them close to impervious to injuries from accidents or blows. We also learn how to root ourselves in the Earth's power and thus how to direct the Earth's gravitational and healing power through our bone structure. Iron Shirt's strengthening of the organs is of special interest to athletes and performers, for it teaches them how to increase the performance of the organs during sports, speech, singing, dancing and playing music. For the Taoist masters, all this in turn lays the groundwork for higher spiritual work. Every step of the way is made clear in the numerous line illustrations of Juan Li.
