Gathering Energy technique

Before you do anything with energy, you must have energy reserves work with. With no energy in reserve, you will deplete your own life force. I hope you understand that this is NOT GOOD! Gathering energy is quite simple, and you can practice about anywhere you don’t need to concentrate. Don’t do this while driving, or while you are passenger. When you gather energy, you and everyone around you will get a little bit more prone to lose their concentration. Everyone could get sleepy, or hyper, or feel weird sensations in their body, especially if they are not used to feeling energy.

Storing Energy in your abdomen

Place you palms on your abdomen, just below your navel (fig. 1). Men should have their left palm inside, touching their abdomen, and their right palm over their left. Women should have their right palm inside, and their right palm outside. If you are standing, bend the knees a bit. If you are sitting, try to keep your spine up straight, and do not cross your legs.

While you inhale, visualize white light coming from all around you, penetrating all the pores of your skin, fill your body and go into your inner abdomen. While you exhale, all this white energy is condensed into a concentrated ball of light in your inner abdomen, in the middle of your body just below the level of your navel. Gather energy by breathing normally, deeply, and calmly. Take in energy from all around you and concentrate it in your inner abdomen.

Active gathering

Standing up, do a few normal breathing and relax. Bend your knees slightly and start.

As you breath in, imagine white light come from above your head, and enter thru your head like white wind, going in a continuous flow to your lower abdomen (fig. 2). The lower abdomen is call the "Dan-Tian" in Chinese medicine, and we will refer to it in our practices as the inner abdomen. As you breath out, the energy stays in your lower abdomen and becomes a ball of light. Do 9 relaxed breath absorbing from the head. It is a normal reflex to tighten the muscles of the abdomen and the arms when you do this for the first time. Try doing it with will, while keeping your muscles relaxed.

Do the same with the arms. Extend your arms to the sides, placing your palms facing away from you, and inhale energy thru the middle of your two palms, leading it down to your lower abdomen. Do it 9 times and try to keep your body relaxed.

Then with the feet, taking the wind like energy thru the middle of your two feet, leading it to your lower abdomen, strengthening the white energy ball.

Once you did 9 breaths of each, filling your abdomen from the head, from the hands and the feet, do all three at the same time, totalling 5 entry points for the energy, filling your lower abdomen with 9 energy breaths. (fig. 3)

Finish by placing your palms over your abdomen and doing a few normal breaths. This will help to store the energy you gathered.
