The Skill of Cultivating Qi By Proper Breathing

The Skill of Cultivating Qi By Proper Breathing

For the last 13 years, I have been practicing

various breathing methods to develop not only

full lung capacity but also to cultivate Qi

(life force energy) to a high potential.

No matter which breathing method you use,

there are a few things you can incorporate

into almost any method to increase the

effectiveness of the energetic part of

breathing.

A few things will be covered.

LAO GONG points on the palm are known as the

"Hard Working Points". You can find yours by

making a fist and put finger from your other

hand where the middle and ring finger nails

are touching the palm. These points are on

both palms and are the main energy points on

the hand. There is also a minor chakra there

as there are other minor chakra points at the

knees, elbows, ankles and feet, etc

The DAN TIEN in Chinese is the "Sea of Qi",

which is the main quantum potential reservoir

located about 3-4 finger widths below the belly

button and inwards sitting in front of the spine.

About 80% of the life force reserves sit there

and about 20% is potentiating the "electrical"

activity of the body.

QI (pronounded CHEE) is the Chinese word for

spirit or the life force energy. Japanese is Ki,

Indian is Prana, and in Christian thought it is

the "Breath of Life" from God. There are many

names for this life force potential. It it

composed of virtual photon potential, which is a

quantum potential that fills all time/space.

Conscious intention can and does direct the

movement of this potential.

The exercise below should be done 1-3 times per

day for 3 months straight before moving on. The

purpose is to channel QI in one direction filling

and expanding the capacity of the DAN TIEN. It is

like installing a higher horsepower engine in your

body and this will also benefit your ability to

project stronger thoughts for manifestation.

1. Before starting, get into a comfortable sitting

or standing position.

2. Keep the mouth closed on this part. Take the

left index finger and plug the left nostril.

Inhale into the right nostril while visualizing

that you are breathing in pure white light and

breathe this pure white light down your chest,

past your belly button and into the DAN TIEN.

While keeping the left nostril closed breathe the

white light out of the right nostril. Do this 8

times. Now take the right index finger and plug

the right nostril. Visualize breathing in white

light into the left nostril to the DAN TIEN and

back out 8 times.

3. Swirl the tongue clockwise about 40 times

making sure the tongue rubs the roof of the mouth

vigorously. Then swirl the tongue about 40 times

counterclockwise doing the same.

4. Rub the LAO GONG points vigorously for 30 seconds

to a minute to generate good heat.

5. If you are a woman, place your right palm and its

LAO GONG point directly under the belly button 3-4

finger widths below. Place the left LAO GONG point

on top of the right hand. For men, place the left on

the belly and the right on top of the left.

6. Every time you breathe in through the nose, make

sure the mouth is closed and the tip of the tongue

is firmly pressing on the roof of the mouth. Breathe

in pure white light into the nose and down to the

DAN TIEN. Focus on making this a long, slow, deep in

breath. Do whatever is comfortable and don't strain.

7. Every time you breathe out, drop your tongue and

slightly open your lips and blow the air out slowly

so that a feather wouldn't even move from your out

breath. After the full in breath, drop the tongue

and simply blow the air out slowly without

visualizing anything leaving the DAN TIEN.

Continue to do the #6 and #7 in and out breathing

with this method only focusing on channeling pure

white light into the DAN TIEN but nothing leaving

the DAN TIEN. Do this 1-3 times daily. Especially,

do this while lying on the back and going to sleep.

You can imagine the DAN TIEN expanding and becoming

brighter and brighter with pure white light. Do not

intend for the potential to move anywhere because it

can make it disappear if it isn't cultivated to a high

enough capacity yet and you will feel more drained than

without doing this exercise. It knows where to go so

just let it do its own thing.

After about 90 days, then it is time to move on to the

Small Universe Breathing for about 90 days and then the

Large Universe Breathing from then on.
