I am not sure exactly when I will be posting again, as I will be travelling all day tomorrow, so I am putting in Day 10 ahead of myself! Click on the link above for a look at the retreat centre where I will be staying for the next month. Here is what I can expect in Week 1:
WEEK 1: Instructor Certification Training Jan Sun 11 - Sat 17, 2015 The Basic Retreat is training for beginners and intermediate level practitioners, and those desiring a review of first essentials. This week is devoted to reviewing & mastering the Microcosmic Orbit, Six Healing Sounds, Cosmic Inner Smile, Chi Self-Massage, 6 Directions, Iron Shirt Chi Kung.
This is Master Mantak Chia:
What is the Microcosmic Orbit?
"The Microcosmic Orbit also known as the 'Self Winding Wheel of the Law' and the circulation of light is a Taoist Qigong or Taoist yoga Qi energy cultivation technique. It involves deep breathing exercises in conjunction with meditation and concentration techniques which develop the flow of qi along certain pathways of energy in the human body, which may be familiar to those who are studyingTraditional Chinese Medicine, Qigong, T'ai chi ch'uan, Neidan and Taoist alchemy." (Wikipedia)
Here is the link to his e-book about the Microcosmic Orbit:
"By opening the Microcosmic Orbit (Smaller Heavenly Cycle)
within out bodies, we can develop a connecting link to the
Macrocosmic Orbit (Greater Heavenly Cycle) of the universe,
through which we can tap into and absorb the original source of all
power (Fig. 1.12). Taoists learn to absorb and transform this force
directly, rather than depending entirely on plants, animals, and motions
of the earth to provide energy. After developing the Energy
Body and extending it into space, they learn to access energies that
are purer and more highly refined (Fig. 1.13). This means that humans
are not necessarily restricted by the earth’s orbit. We can
extend ourselves into the universe to draw the forces we need to
replenish our life force (Fig. 1.13 and 1.14)."
