Feel Energy in the Channels
.
Taoist masters mention the importance of feeling the flow of energy in the acupuncture meridians of the body. One way to create presence in the channels is through self massage along the acu-points. We can find the maps of acupuncture meridians and their corresponding easily online.
.
My favorite meridian to focus on is the microcosmic orbit, which runs along the spine and the front mid line of the body. One can go along the channels with your hands, massage clockwise and counterclockwise at each point. Use the mind and body feeling to be aware of the channels and the flow of energy.
.
By placing the tongue to the roof of the mouth, the front and back channels of the body are connected. Like turning on an electrical switch, this allows energy to flow in a circuit during the meditation and self-massage.
