If you look around you you can see the five natural elements in your daily life. Wood, Metal, Fire, Water and Earth. They are the five core natural processes of the Life Force, not ive physical objects. We connect to these elements in Fusion Meditation. All of nature moves in cycles and interacts with each other. In this way you'll see that all things of life are interdependant. The four seasons and the center (earth) is the simplest example of five element (or five phase) theory applied to daily life. When the weather changes, the chi flowing in our five inner vital organs also change. Inner and outer charge are synchronized. Fusion just takes this natural process to a deeper level. The Fusion of the Five Elements meditation is the second level of Taoist meditation and begins the process of Inner Alchemy. In the Healing Tao system, following the Microcosmic Orbit Meditation, comes Taoist Fusion Inner Alchemy. Learning effective Fusion techniques brings harmony to your emotions, transforming the negative and affirming the positive virtues - the heart of spiritual work. Fusion meditation is essential work for emotional balance. The result is improved energy and peace. Creating a harmonious environment internally, allows the spirit to stay alive and fully present. We will work with transforming negative emotional energy in the vital organs of the body into positive qualities. We will create and Fuse Five Elements Chi into a "crystallized pearl of compassion", to purifiy and in fusion 2 to activate some of the Eight Extraordinary (Psychic) Channels. Learn to circulate higher frequencies of positive chi and activate energy flow in your three core channels. Learn to open the core central channel called the Thrusting Channel or Chong Mai, and the belt channels ( Dai Mai) of the eight extraordinary meridian's as part of this practice. This powerful mind training may open psychic and healing energies. This meditation work is inner alchemy, a highly refined process for inner change and greater quality of ones being. FUSION OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS 1 In this Fusion practice you will focus on balancing negative and positive emotional energy and channeling earth and heaven forces. This profound Taoist esoteric internal alchemy will empower you to quickly reach a state of inner integrity and harmony. FUSION OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS 2 The second level of Fusion involves refining the crystallized pearl created in Fusion I. As the organs become freer of negative emotions, the natural virtues can emerge and blend into the energy we know as compassion. This creates the energetic quality necessary to open up other channels in the body. Thrusting Channel (large channel which runs from the perineum to the crown) and Belt channels (9 levels encircling the major energy centers of the body). Students who purchase the Fusion homestudy CD have an advantage of learning some of this material in advance. This allows the student to go much deeper during the live retreat.
