INTRODUCTORY LEVEL III: Radiant Health Path

Course 7: Kung Fu of Healing Hands; Awakening the Healing Hand - Five Finger Kung Fu

The ability to heal ourselves and others is one of the five main branches of practice.

Healing Dao. Five Finger Kung Fu combines both static and dynamic forms of exercise to cultivate and nourish the qi that accumulates in the organs, penetrates the fascia, tendons, and muscles, and is finally transmitted outward through the hands and fingers. This technique can be used with benefit by those who practice body-based therapies and various healing arts.

Course 8: Chi Nei Tsang; massage that transforms the qi of the organ

This practice is divided into three levels: Chi Nei Tsang I, II and III.

Qi Nei Tsang, or massage that transforms the Qi of the organ, is complete system Chinese deep healing, which works with the energy flows in the five main systems of the body: in vascular system, in lymphatic systems e, in the nervous system, in the tendon-muscular system and in the system of acupuncture meridians.

In the practice of Chi Nei Tsang, it is possible to increase the flow of energy to specific organs by massaging a certain sequence of points in the navel area. In Taoist practice, it is believed that all qi energy and all organs, glands, brain and nervous system join at the navel; therefore energy blockages in the navel area often manifest as symptoms related to other parts of the body. The abdomen contains the large intestine, small intestine, liver, gallbladder stomach, spleen, pancreas, bladder and genitals, as well as many lymph nodes. At the umbilicus, the aorta and vena cava divide into two branches, descending into the legs.

Chi Nei Tsang works on energy blockages at the navel and then follows the energy to other parts of the body. Chi Nei Tsang is a very deep healing science brought to the United States by Master Mantak Chia.

Course 9. Space Dynamics; Taoist art of moving energy

Feng Shui (wind and water techniques) has been used by the Chinese people and their emperors for five thousand years. It combines ancient Chinese geomancy, Taoist metaphysics, dynamic psychology and modern knowledge on geomagnetism for diagnosing energies, forces and other phenomena in nature, people and buildings. The student will gain greater awareness of their own current situation and see more opportunities for freedom and growth through interaction with the five elements.

INTERMEDIATE LEVEL: Fundamentals of Spiritual Practice

Course 10: Lesser enlightenment (kan and li); opening twelve channels; uplifting of the soul and development of the energy body

Small enlightenment kan and li (mixing of yin and yang): This formula is called in China "Xiao Kan Li" ("small kan and li") and literally boils down sexual energy (ching or creative) into energy life force(qi) in order to nourish the spirit or energy body. It can be said that the transmission of the power of sexual energy through the whole body and brain begins with the Practice of kan and li. The main secret of this formula is to change the usual locations of the yin and yang energies, which contributes to the release of sexual energy.

This formula includes the development of the root (huiyin point) and heart centers and the transformation of sexual energy into pure qi at the navel. This relocation of energies places the warmth of the bodily "fire" below the coldness of the bodily "water". If there is no such change of places, then the "fire" simply moves up and burns out the body. "Water" (sexual fluid) tends to flow down and out of the body. When it dries up, that's the end. This formula changes the usual procedures for energy expenditure by using extremely effective method- she places "water" in a closed vessel (cauldron) in the body, and then "cooks" sperm (sexual energy) with the help of "fire" located below. If "water" ( sexual energy) is not sealed, it will flow directly into the "fire" and either extinguish it or evaporate itself.

This formula preserves the integrity of both elements, allowing the evaporation process to continue for a very long time. The essence of the formula is to never let the "fire" burn without having "water" over it to heat it up, and never to let the "water" pour into the "fire". In this way a warm, moist "steam" is produced, which contains great energy and health benefits, and which promotes the regeneration of all glands and the nervous and lymphatic systems, and increases the vibrations.

The formula is as follows:

1. Mixing "water" (yin) and "fire" (yang), or masculine and feminine, to give birth to the soul.

2. Transformation of sexual force (reproducing force) into vital energy(qi), collection and purification of the Microcosmic outer alchemical element.

3. Opening of the twelve main channels.

4. The implementation of the circulation of energy in the solar (space) orbit.

5. Reversing the flow of generative force to strengthen the body and brain and restore it to its original state, which was before puberty.

6. Reclamation thymus(thymus) and lymphatic system.

7. Purification of the body and spirit: internal intercourse. Birth immortal soul(energy body).
