Energy Circulation

Just as our body has a circulatory system for the transportation of blood, it also has a Chi or Energy circulatory system. Chi moves throughout the body in channels or meridians. They are mostpopularly known as acupuncture meridians in the west.
Our bodies have thirty two main channels through which CHI flows. The two primary channels is the Governor channel (Du Mai) over the head and the functional channel through the front of the body. Most of the other thirty two channels begin in the fingertips or toes and flow into the body.
What we are talking about here is simply the flow of energy through the body.

What is CHI KUNG?

Kung refers to any training or study that requires a real effort over a sufficient period of time. Chi Kung refers dealing with CHI over a long period of time. Literally, CHI means Air. Chi Kung originally refers to the practitioners of breathing exercises. From breath, the meaning expands to the breath of life or the life force. It is the energy of life.
The Taoists looked at life from a different perspective than westerners. They explored the Life Force Energy. They found that they could use their minds to learn to control their Energy (CHI). The Taoists combined the breath and mind and found new ways to control the Life Force Energy. They found ways to move the Life Force Energy with their mind alone.

What is TAO?

The Tao translates into English as The Way. The way includes everything that you have thought about and everything that you have never thought. Nature follows the way. The Wy controls the course of the universe. Tao underlies all reality. The Tao symbolizes the totality of things. It is a cosmic thought. Everything is connected as you expand your awareness to understand and wonder at the enormity of the way. The Way is awareness. When you practise the way, you feel connected. You learn to deal with one's energy and and that of the cosmic universe. One who walks the way learns to control one's energy.

Background

Until recently, the health practices of the Taoists were unknown in the west. This was due to the fact that many of the teachings of the Taoist Masters kept their teachings secret and they were not available even to the general Chinese public. But now, much of the teachings have come into the open as true Tao Masters have begun teaching in the west. The Tao Masters believe that through the process of Taoist Internal Alchemy, it is possible to develop an immortal spirit that exists independently from the physical body.
The Taoist techniques involve a three pronged approach:
  1. Regulating the breath.
  2. Regulating the mind.
  3. Regulating the body.
Thus the Taoist practices are an integration of Mental, Physical and Breathing exercises. This is necessary to build a firm foundation to practice the Art of Tao.
