Iron
Shirt
The
Iron Shirt practice is divided into three parts: Iron Shirt I, II, and
III. Iron Shirt Chi Kung is the martial aspect of the Universal Tao
system. It develops internal power and structure and a well-conditioned
body through simple techniques that build and store Chi. The body
becomes open and relaxed. The joints are strengthened, the muscles,
tendons and ligaments become soft and strong, and the bones and bone
marrow become strong and healthy. Iron Shirt Chi Kung helps us to become
rooted to the earth, thereby keeping our body centered and balanced. In
the long run, Iron Shirt offers a way of perfecting our inner selves,
allowing us to reach higher spiritual levels. The grounding practice
provides a firm rooting for the ascension of the spirit.
Iron
Shirt I.
The core of Iron Shirt I consists of the chi packing and breathing
process and the Iron Shirt postures. By using certain standing postures,
muscle locks and breathing techniques, one learns how to draw and
circulate energy from the earth, nature and the universe and how to pack
the chi into the vital organs and connective tissues, the spine and the
bones. This will strengthen and rejuvenate them, as well as the tendons,
muscles, and bone marrow.
As the internal structure is strengthened through layers of Chi
energy, the problems of poor posture and circulation of energy are
corrected. The practitioner learns the importance of being physically
and psychologically rooted in the Earth, a vital factor in the more
advanced stages of Taoist practice.
Iron
Shirt II. In
the second level of Iron Shirt, one learns how to combine the mind,
heart, bone structure and Chi into one moving unit. The static forms
learned in the first level of Iron Shirt evolve at this level into
moving postures. The goal of Iron Shirt II is to develop rooting and
internal power and the ability to absorb and discharge energy through
the tendons. A series of exercises allow the student to change, grow and
strengthen the tendons and joints, to stimulate the vital organs and to
integrate the fascia, tendons, bones and muscles into one structure. The
student also learns methods for releasing accumulated toxins in the
muscles and joints of the body. Once energy flows freely through the
muscles and joints, accumulated toxins can be discharged out of the body
very efficiently without resorting to extreme fasts or special dietary
aids. Iron Shirt I is a prerequisite for this course.
Iron
Shirt III.
In
the third level of Iron Shirt, one learns how to strengthen the bones by
increasing bone density and structure and to regrow the marrow through
bone breathing and internal sexual organ massage. One also learns how to
direct internal power to the higher centers. This level of Iron Shirt
works directly on the organs, bones and tendons in order to strengthen
the entire system beyond its ordinary capacity. An extremely efficient
method of vibrating the internal organs allows the practitioner to shake
toxic deposits out of the inner structure of each organ by enhancing Chi
circulation. This once highly secret method of advanced Iron Shirt, also
known as the Golden Bell System. Prerequisites: Iron Shirt Chi Kung I
and Healing Love. Bone Marrow Nei Kung
Tai
Chi
Tai
Chi Chi Kung
I,
consists
of thirteen movements which are performed in all the four directions,
clockwise and counterclockwise. Tai Chi Chi Kung is comprised of four
parts:
- Mind:
- How to use one's own mass together with the force of gravity;
- How to use the bone structure to move the whole body with very
little muscular effort;
- How to learn and master the thirteen movements so that the
mind can concentrate on directing the Chi energy.
- Mind and Chi: How to use the mind to direct the Chi flow.
- Mind, Chi, and Earth force: How to integrate the three forces into
one unit moving unimpeded through the bone structure.
- Learn applications of Tai Chi for self-defense.
In the practice of Tai Chi Chi Kung, the increased energy flow
developed through the Microcosmic Orbit, Fusion work, Iron Shirt, Tao
Yin and Tan Tien Chi Kung practices are integrated into one unified
movement, so that the body learns more efficient ways of utilizing
energy in motion. Improper body movements restrict energy flow causing
energy blockages, poor posture, and, in some cases, serious illness.
Quite often, back problems are the result of improper posture,
accumulated tension, weakened bone structure, and psychological stress.
One result of increased body awareness through movement is an increased
awareness of one's environment and the potentials it contains. Since Tai
Chi is a gentle way of exercising and keeping the body fit, it can be
practiced well into advanced age because the movements do not strain
one's physical capacity as some aerobic exercises do.
Before beginning to study the Tai Chi Chi Kung I form, the student
must complete: (1) Opening of the Microcosmic Orbit, (2) Iron Shirt Chi
Kung I, and (3) Seminal and Ovarian Kung Fu.
Tai
Chi Chi Kung II, Tai Chi Chi
Kung II is the higher level of moving meditation using the Discharge
technique to absorb and transmit the Universal and Earth Forces. The
practice consists of the 13 movements performed clockwise &
counterclockwise, as in Tai Chi Chi Kung I, with Push Hands
applications. This discipline improves postural alignment, and body and
mind coordination with self-defense applications.
Level
II - Internal Practice

Advanced
Sitting Energy-Mastering Meditations - Beginning Internal Alchemy
Fusion
of the Five Elements
The Fusion of the Five Elements is the second level of UTC internal
Alchemy meditation. The concept of Internal Alchemy is grounded in the
Taoist belief that the inner universe is identical to the outer
universe. They share the same "cosmology" The knowledge of the
Internal Alchemy is a necessary step in becoming connected to the outer
universe, from which an unlimited power can be derived for one's
individual benefit. The Taoist Masters reasoned that to become connected
to the outer universe, one needs first to gain control of his or her own
inner universe. The Fusion of the Five Elements practice is a big step
in this direction. One begins with the understanding of the dynamics of
the universe, the planet earth, and the human body with respect to their
relationship to the Five Agents of Nature (or Energy Phases) and the
Eight Forces of Nature. In our inner universe, our organs correspond
with these Five Phases of Energy in three distinct ways: controlling,
creating and balancing. The Fusion practice combines the energies of the
Five Phases of Energy into one harmonious whole .
Fusion I
uses pakuas to call forth and connect with the five energies and eight
forces of nature for protection, to enhance one's energy and to increase
the mind power. The pakuas are energetic figures controlled by the mind
to guide energy. In this practice of internal alchemy, the student also
learns to transform the negative emotions of worry, sadness, cruelty,
anger, and fear into pure energy. This process is accomplished by
identifying the source of the negative emotions within the five organs
of the body. After the excessive energy of the emotions is filtered out
of the organs, the state of psychophysical balance is restored to the
body. Freed of negative emotions, the pure energy of the five organs is
crystallized into a radiant pearl or crystal ball. The pearl is then
circulated in the body and attracts energy from external sources -
Universal Energy, Cosmic Particle Energy, and Earth Energy. The pearl
plays a central role in the development and nourishment of the soul or
energy body. The energy body is then nourished with the pure (virtue)
energy of the five organs.
The second
level of Fusion practice teaches additional methods of circulating the
pure energy of the five organs once they are freed of negative emotions.
When the five organs are cleansed, the positive emotions of kindness,
gentleness, respect, fairness, justice, and love are combined into
compassion energy that emerges as a natural expression of internal
balance. The practitioner is able to monitor his state of balance by
observing the quality of emotions arising spontaneously within. The
energy of the positive emotions is used to open the three channels
running from the perineum, at the base of the sexual organs, to the top
of the head. These channels collectively are known as the Thrusting
Channels or Routes. In addition, a series of nine levels called the Belt
Channels is opened, encircling the nine major energy centers of the
body.
The third
level of Fusion practice completes the cleansing of the energy channels
in the body by opening the Bridge and Regulator channels. You also learn
in this level to build some extra psychic protection, You learn
techniques to drive out negative energy entities that attach to the
spine and other areas. There are specialized practices to protect the
spine and to clear the brain. The opening of the Microcosmic Orbit, the
Thrusting Channels, the Belt Channel, the Great Regulator, and Great
Bridge Channels makes the body extremely permeable to the circulation of
vital energy. The unhindered circulation of energy is the foundation of
perfect physical and emotional health. The Fusion practice is one of the
greatest achievements of the ancient Taoist masters, as it gives the
individual a way of freeing the body of negative emotions, and, at the
same time, allows the pure virtues to shine forth.
The practice is divided into three parts: Chi Nei Tsang I, II, and
III. Chi Nei Tsang, or Organ Chi Transformation Massage, is an entire
system of Chinese deep healing that works with the energy flow of the
five major systems in the body: the vascular system, the lymphatic
system, the nervous system, the tendon/muscle system, and the
acupuncture meridian system.
In the Chi Nei Tsang practice, one is able to increase energy flow to
specific organs through massaging a series of points in the navel area.
In Taoist practice, it is believed that all the Chi energy of the
organs, glands, brain, and nervous system are joined in the navel;
therefore, energy blockages in the navel area often manifest as symptoms
in other parts of the body. The abdominal cavity contains the large
intestine, small intestine, liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen,
pancreas, bladder, and sex organs, as well as many lymph nodes. The
aorta and vena cava divide into two branches at the navel area,
descending into the legs. Chi Nei Tsang works on the energy blockages in
the navel and then follows the energy into the other parts of the body.
Chi Nei Tsang also prepares the body to receive the higher frequencies
of the spiritual energy.
Chi Nei
Tsang I,
one studies specific techniques of abdominal and organ massage that can
release and clear blockages, toxins, excessive heat and negative
emotions. Prerequisite: Microcosmic Orbit.
Chi Nei
Tsang II, works
primarily with the trapped winds of the body that become sick or evil
winds which can lead to (for example) a heart attack, if not released.
The students will learn the Ten Different Winds, and how to chase and
discharge them out of the body and to inject good Chi back into the
vital organs and glands.
Chi Nei Tsang III,
uses the One Finger Technique working
primarily with the Left side of the navel (Left Hand) and moving up the
Spine (Right Hand) releasing any blockages or tension of the nerves and
tendons, moving up into the heart, neck & head. The students will
learn how to loosen the nervous system through the sacrum, legs and
arms; and how to open up the nerve endings filling them with revitalized
Chi.
Taoists believe in the underlying unity that permeates the Universe.
Cosmic Healing is a Chi Kung meditation that strengthens and opens us
up to the forces and Energy within Nature and the Universe. We are
dynamically connected to the infinite and infinitesimal at the same
time. As above, so below," is an echo of wisdom heard from sages
and mystics from all ages. When we can channel the energy that
surrounds us, the pathway reveals the many splendors of the Cosmos. We
are a reflection of the light and energy in the Universe, drawing in
the life force of the sun in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and
through all of our senses. We exist because of the unique combination
of forces that surround us. By tapping into our internal resources and
channeling the energy around us, we can perceive much more than the
senses normally report to the mind.
Cosmic
Healing Chi Kung I,
This
course teaches a hands-on technique using acupuncture points on the
hand, such as the palm, to activate and open acupuncture meridians
throughout the body. Through Cosmic Chi Kung, the practitioner learns to
channel external forces such as cosmic energy and energy around us
through the palms for healing. The energy being channeled can be used to
heal oneself as well as others. Cosmic Chi Kung integrates both static
and dynamic exercise forms in order to cultivate, channel and mix the
cosmic force with the saliva to nourish Chi, and to direct it to the
hands and fingers for healing and creativity. Practitioners of body
centered therapies and massage systems will greatly benefit from this
method. Prerequisite: Microcosmic Orbit.
Cosmic
Healing Chi Kung II, you
learn to form & build an energy field with the six directions
gathering Nature's Forces, Original Force, Earth Force, Universal
Forces, and the students' own energy fields to heal themselves. The
students learn to create and focus this healing vortex from all Five
Levels using Nature's Healing Colors to balance and heal any body
areas (Organs, Senses, or Systems - the immune system), and how to
bury anybody sick energy into the earth.
Cosmic
Chi Kung (Buddha Palm)
Cosmic
Chi Kung (Buddha Palm),
is
the ability to absorb and transmit Chi with your hands using Bone
Marrow Washing, Earth & Heaven Channeling, Tiger Mouth and Open
Index Finger techniques. The students learn to activate the Bridge,
Regulator & Functional Channels using the Beaming & Cosmic
absorbing techniques of the Six Directions.
Enlightenment
of Kan and Li
Lesser
Enlightenment of Kan and Li
(Yin and
Yang Mixed): This formula is called Siaow Kan Li in Chinese, and
involves a literal steaming of the sexual energy (Ching or creative)
into life-force energy (Chi) in order to feed the soul or energy body.
One might say that the transfer of the sexual energy power throughout
the whole body and brain begins with the practice of Kan and Li. The
crucial secret of this formula is to reverse the usual sites of Yin and
Yang power, thereby provoking liberation of the sexual energy.
This formula includes the cultivation of the root (the Hui-Yin) and
the heart center, and the transformation of sexual energy into pure Chi
at the navel. This inversion places the heat of the bodily fire beneath
the coolness of the bodily water. Unless this inversion takes place, the
fire simply moves up and burns the body out. The water (the sexual
fluid) has the tendency to flow downward and out. When it dries out, it
is the end. This formula reverses normal wasting of energy by the highly
advanced method of placing the water in a closed vessel (cauldron) in
the body, and then cooking the sperm (sexual energy) with the fire
beneath. If the water (sexual energy) is not sealed, it will flow
directly into the fire and extinguish it or it will be consumed. This
formula preserves the integrity of both elements, thus allowing the
steaming to go on for great periods of time. The essential formula is to
never let the fire rise without having water to heat above it, and to
never allow the water to spill into the fire. Thus, a warm, moist steam
is produced containing tremendous energy and health benefits, to
rejuvenate all the glands, the nervous system, and the lymphatic system,
and to increase pulsation.
The formula consists of:
- Mixing the water (Yin) and fire (Yang), or male and female, to
give birth to the soul;
- Transforming the sexual power (creative force) into vital energy
(Chi), gathering and purifying the Microcosmic outer alchemical
agent;
- Opening the twelve major channels;
- Circulating the power in the solar orbit (cosmic orbit);
- Turning back the flow of generative force to fortify the body and
the brain, and restore it to its original condition before puberty;
- Regrowing the thymus gland and Lymphatic system;
- Sublimation of the body and soul: self-intercourse. Giving birth
to the immortal soul (energy body).
Greater
Enlightenment of Kan and Li, This
formula comprises the Taoist Dah Kan Li (Ta Kan Li) practice. It uses
the same energy relationship of Yin and Yang inversion but increases to
an extraordinary degree the amount of energy that may be drawn up into
the body. At this stage, the mixing, transforming, and harmonizing of
energy takes place in the solar plexus. The increasing amplitude of
power is due to the fact that the formula not only draws Yin and Yang
energy from within the body, but also draws the power directly from
Heaven and Earth or ground (Yang and Yin, respectively), and adds the
elemental powers to those of one's own body. In fact, power can be drawn
from any energy source, such as the Moon, Wood, Earth, Flowers, Animals,
Light, etc.
The formula consists of:
- Moving the stove and changing the cauldron;
- Greater water and fire mixture (self-intercourse);
- Greater transformation of sexual power into the higher level;
- Gathering the outer and inner alchemical agents to restore the
generative force and invigorate the brain;
- Cultivating the body and soul;
- Beginning the refining of the sexual power (generative force,
vital force, Ching Chi);
- Absorbing Mother Earth (Yin) power and Father Heaven (Yang) power
and Father Heaven (Yang) power. Mixing with sperm and ovary power
(body), and soul;
- Raising the soul;
- Retaining the positive generative force (creative) force, and
keeping it from draining away;
- Gradually doing away with food, and depending on self sufficiency
and universal energy;
- Giving birth to the spirit, transferring good virtues and Chi
energy channels into the spiritual body;
- Practicing to overcome death;
- Opening the crown;
- Space travelling.
Greatest
Enlightenment of Kan and Li, This
formula is Yin and Yang power mixed at a higher energy center. It helps
to reverse the aging process by re-establishing the thymus gland and
increasing natural immunity. This means that healing energy is radiated
from a more powerful point in the body, providing greater benefits to
the physical and ethereal bodies.
The formula consists of:
- Moving the stove and changing the cauldron to the higher center;
- Absorbing the Solar and Lunar power;
- Greatest mixing, transforming, steaming, and purifying of sexual
power (generative force), soul, Mother Earth, Father Heaven, Solar
and Lunar power for gathering the Microcosmic inner alchemical
agent;
- Mixing the visual power with the vital power;
- Mixing (sublimating) the body, soul and spirit.
