Sharing the Light
The Personal Energy Field is centred in the area between the solar-plexus and the breastbone (Middle Dan Tien) rising, during the process of refinement, from the Lower Dan Tien.
Take 3 deep breaths. Each inhale lift the light from the abdomen to the solar plexus, and each exhale expand and intensify a cloud of golden light around the body.
From the cloud of golden light centred on the solar plexus - intensified and harmonised by the 8 Paths - send the light to those you choose to help.
5 Clouds
Based on the exercise from Master Ni Hua Ching.
1. (Earth) Centre the Mind in the cloud of golden light in the solar plexus. Each out breath, intensify and expand the light taking the Mind deeper until the body and breath are lost in the light.
2. (Metal) Allow the cloud to drift up to cover the lungs where it becomes white like the clouds. With each out breath, intensify and expand the light as the Mind goes deeper.
3. (Water) The cloud moves down to cover the lower abdomen and turns a deep blue like the ocean. With each out breath, intensify and expand the light as the Mind goes deeper.
4. (Wood) The cloud moves to the region of the liver on the right side of the body and becomes a deep green like the forest. Intensify and expand the light as the Mind goes deeper.
5. (Fire) Let the cloud float across to surround the heart and turns deep red like a ruby. With each out breath, intensify and expand the light as the Mind goes deeper.
After one or more cycles, return the cloud to the solar plexus and rest in the golden light.
Lost in the Light
Breathe deeply, each out breathe expand and intensify the cloud of golden light around the body, taking the Mind deeper until the Mind is lost in the light. Then forget the breathing, gradually allowing the Mind to drift deeper while maintaining awareness of the light.
Then recapture the sensations of the body within the light: warmth and fullness at every point; the beating heart and resulting pulse that radiates out; the ringing inside the head that is always present when the Mind is silent.
Rest in this strongly aware state: "I am a field of light, warmth and awareness with a body inside it."
