“Its the Foolish one that knows the Tao
Remember to Surrender & Smile … (key to raising Kunlun)
its the foolish one that knows Kunlun – as said by Max.
“The wise one hears of the Tao
and practices it diligently.
The average student hears of the Tao
and gives it thought every now and then.
The foolish student hears of the Tao
and laughs aloud.
If there were no laughter
the Tao would not be what it is.
Hence it is said:
The bright path seems dim.
Going forward seems like retreat;
The easy way seems hard:
The highest Virtue seems empty;
Great purity seems sullied;
A wealth of Virtue seems inadequate;
The strength of Virtue seems frail:
Real Virtue seems unreal;
The perfect square has no corners:
Great talents ripen late;
The highest notes are hard to hear:
The greatest form has no shape:
The Tao is hidden and without name.
The Tao alone nourishes and brings everything to fulfillment.”
Maoshan 5 Elements Chi Gung – this breathing and standing Chi Gung will allow one to balance the five main organs of the body.There are 5 postures that one stands and holds. One for each element and an part of the body.
1. Wood: stand with hands straight to sides
2. Fire: stand with hands in front of you with thumbs at eye brow level.
3. Earth: stand with hands in front of stomach area.
4. Metal: stand with hands straight up, shoulder level.
5. Water: stand with hands on side of body shoulders and elbows tucked.
This practice was taught to me in 2 variations:
Martial arts style: you do each posture for 7 or more First time you try and do it within 1 minute or so you will have a hard time keeping the posture. It sound simple and easy, but since body is not used to it, mind and start complaning. In old days, a student would be asked to hold one of the postures for 2 days before being accepted into a monastery.
Tai chi, you do 5 postures in a flow. You do the same excercises but in a flow slowly moving from one posture to another. A much easier way fo doing it
Its supposed to be a Grounding practice, If your mind is all over, it bring you back to ground and you become aware of your body, chi. It strengthens your body internally.
When you start out, always bend you knees enough that you cant see your toes. It’s a relaxed position that you can hold for longer period. The more bent you can handle as more advanced you are. Its like the Chinese martial arts horse stance.
Then you put one hand on the other in front of shoulders – crossing your hands.
Bend slightly to front, push hips back slightly – correcting your posture
And from this you move hands out to sides – wood.
He said the following as doing the tai chi form:
Wood (Liver) is consumed by Fire
Fire (heart) creates ash (earth)
Earth (spleen) creates metal
Metal (lungs) is tonified by
Water (kidneys).
Wood – liver, gall bladder
Fire – heart, small intestine
Earth – stomach, spleen
Metal – lungs, large intestine
Water – kidneys, bladder
Focus
Start with “I-Jong” – focus at the lower dan tien.
Wood-Liver: the eyes focus forward.
Fire-Heart: the eyes look upward and focus between the hands.
Earth-Stomach: the eyes look downward at a 45-degree angle over the nose. The focus is on the belly button.
Metal-Lungs: the eyes look forward with the intent between the hands.
Water-Kidneys: the eyes look downward at a 45-degree angle over the nose. The focus is in the center of the palms.
Do I-Jong before 5 elements and after, or do it alone. The longer the better.
Maintain relaxation and belly breathing throughout and Smile
Kunlun Nei Gung is an ancient, secret method of spiritual awakening. Kunlun is a reset process that is a part of your body already. When you do the method you activate that process. Whatever your body determines you need to do to realign your natural energy flow, will happen.
The position you take tunes/harmonizes your body with the one law or sympathetic vibration. You know you have attained it when you feel joyful, blissful and loving. The love aspect of the human being is the expression of the one law.
What this practice does, is to awaken a divine bliss feeling in the practitioner. It can be compared to a mild orgasm except that it is not sexual in nature.
This bliss expands as it rises and it is this process that raises your vibrational rate. At this higher vibration, emotional blocks and mental illusions dispel. Sometimes they are forcefully released and other times it is a smooth experience. Whatever you are holding can be let go of, but only if you are ready to be done with it.
When a block is released it creates a new channel for this bliss energy. When you practice regularly you can access and clear new levels of deep set tension like moving through layers of an onion.
As you become more clear, you become more magnetic.
You can then learn to project this energy outward to help heal others or you can chose to simply bask in your own empty radiance. In this state, knowledge comes as if recalling a memory. There is no effort but to follow your feeling.
It is different for everyone.
It can be a very smooth, blissful process as well. Any initial shaking, movements, emotional release, etc., is just you doing what you need to do to “right the ship.”
You are in control the whole time and you can go as deep as you want or keep it very light.
Once you learn this practice, you do have to deal with what comes next for you. There is no question you will start to change. The practice will continue to work to clear you, but some changes might be difficult for people. You will have to face the parts of yourself you might not want to see. This is the great challenge on the path and the reason why so many give up.
Of course, grounding the energy afterward is very important.
This practice can open up the higher levels of understanding that would be very difficult to access alone. Not to mention the health benefits and the minor abilities that can be developed.
