Taoist meditation - Central channel meditationMeditation guideTaoist meditation is a meditation which helps the beginner to become aware of their internal energy and helps them to become familiar with the power points within the body through which energy is circulated. It is a meditation which helps the body to relax while invigorating the spirit. * Make sure you are wearing loose clothing and that you find somewhere you wont be disturbed while meditating. * Sit in a comfortable position, which can be on the floor cross legged or in a straight backed chair. * Take a deep breath in through the nostrils then while bending slightly forward exhale through the mouth audibly, repeat this procedure three times making sure you empty the lungs completely between each inhalation. * While sitting still and relaxed begin to breathe easily and naturally, with each breathe you take feel your abdomen contracting and expanding with your breath. * Begin to imagine and focus on a beam of energy entering your body at the crown of the head. * Feel this beam of energy flowing down as you inhale and let it flow downwards through your central channel to the navel the deeper you breathe. * As you breathe out slowly follow this beam of energy back up through your body and out of the top of your head as you exhale fully. * Imagine that there is a valve of some kind in the top of the head and when your begin to inhale this valve opens and as the energy begins to flow down through your body this valve closes then re opens as you exhale and energy is released. * Be aware of any feelings this brings you as the energy courses through your body, you might feel warmth, a tingling sensation or numbness in the scalp. After practicing this meditation for a number of months you may use other points as a way of releasing the energy, however always draw energy in through the crown whichever point you choose for exit. An example of this would be by drawing the energy in through the crown and down into the body then push it back out through the celestial eye, which is the point between the brows. As well as using the celestial eye as a point you can also use the points in the centre of the palms of the hand, the centre of the soles of the feet and the perineum point. Whichever point you choose be aware of the sensations of warmth, tingling or numbness to the point of exit, try to build up to meditating in this way to 30 minutes twice a day. |
