DENNIS’ BASICS WORKSHOP
CHI AND SEXUAL ENERGY FOR LIVING, HEALTH AND SPIRIT



Universal Tao basics provide some simple tools to help us tune-in to our vital energies and create needed adjustments for health, healing and general well-being. It all begins with the Inner Smile Meditation. This is a relaxing meditation that enables people to tune-in to the energy of their emotions in their vital organs (heart, lungs, etc.) and use the positive chi to transform the negative.

The workshop covers Cosmic Inner Heart Smile (with EMDR) and Six Healing Sounds. They transform the negative emotions, enhance the positive and charge the organs’ positive energy. Simple Chi Kung conditioning exercises are for the body, for activating chi flow and connecting to the grounding power of earth energy. The Microcosmic Orbit is for circulating, refining and distributing healing energy. Chi Self-Massage is used to remove chi blockages and spread chi to the cells. Healing Love sexual energy cultivation (solo or dual practice) strengthens and multiplies the health benefits of the positive energy and provides the power for spiritual development.

Mastery of our sexual energy and nature is the key for unlocking the mystery of life. This precious source of life provides fuel for robust health, creativity, mental clarity and spiritual evolution. All of the basics combine interactively to give us new life and renewed power for health, healing and loving. This process of self-mastery begins in the basics workshop.

Healing Love: Sexual energy can be cultivated with or without sex for attaining a more exalted quality of sexual experience. This nurturing creative life force in the body can be guided to benefit the brain, senses, glands, organs and ultimately all the cells of the body to fortify our well-being, emotional harmony, longevity and spirit. Women refine their menstruation/menopause; men master ejaculation. Conserving and recycling the precious sexual energy strengthens and multiplies the positive energy of the body. It provides the power for life and spiritual evolution.

Other practices: Iron Shirt Chi Kung, Tao Yin, Fusion (I, II, and III), Tan Tien Chi Kung, Elixir Chi Kung, Stem Cell Chi Kung, Tai Chi and Basic Cosmic Healing.

CHI KUNG CONDITIONING EXERCISES: Warm-Up for Meditation
Universal Tao Senior Instructor Dennis Huntington

Chi Kung Means Practice With Chi, Life Force Energy.

There are two equally important phases of practice for each exercise: yin and yang. The yang phase is active, involving some exertion. It also activates the affected areas for chi flow in the yin phase. The yin phase is passive and relaxed.

The Yin phase allows refreshing chi to flow to the cells that were stimulated by the exertion in the active phase.
The yin phase is especially important for establishing a stable energetic connection with the Earth Chi. This grounding connection provides a way to recycle uncomfortable negative energy.
  1. SPINE TWISTING AND CHI SLAPPING (Yang phase)
    Yin Phase—HORSE STANCE:
  • Feet parallel at shoulder width (heels slightly out at the back)
  • Nine points of each foot (heel, outer side, two balls of the foot, five toes) in contact with the ground
  • Knees slightly bent, like standing up in the stirrups when riding a horse
  • Shoulders relaxed, arms separated from body at sides—keeping a small open space under the armpits
  • Elbows slightly bent and turned out a little to the sides
  • Hands angled forward, palms facing downward
  • Relax, breathe comfortably
  • Be aware of body sensations—direct your smile to relax any areas of discomfort.
  1. TILT SACRUM: Forward/Back, CW, CCW.
    Yin Phase—Horse Stance and DEEP BREATHING IN THE TAN TIEN:
  • Breathe through the nose.
  • Regulate the breathing with relaxed, slow abdominal breaths. (Do not breathe to the top of the chest!)
    Inhalation:
  • Expand the abdominal muscles outwards—front, back and sides—as you inhale. Stay comfortable.
  • At the same time, press the thoracic diaphragm down on the abdominal organs—creating more room for the lower lobes of the lungs to expand and suck in more air.
  • Control the breath by using the abdominal muscles and diaphragm in this manner—instead of just inhaling to the upper chest. Like filling a glass of water: the air (water) fills the bottom first.
    Exhalation:
  • Let the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm relax and contract to their resting positions
  • Belly flattens and diaphragm moves back up to the ribcage.
  • Maintain awareness of this breathing pattern in the tan tien.
  1. SPINAL CORD BREATHING.
    Inhalation:
    Make relaxed fists, shoulders and buttocks back, arch mid-spine forward, and tuck chin to straighten back of neck.
    Exhalation: Bring elbows together in front, touch chin to chest, arch mid-spine out in the back, tilt sacrum forward and squeeze perineum. (Yang phase)
    Yin Phase—Horse Stance, Deep Breathing in the Tan Tien, Relax Physically, Smile—Face and Tan Tien,and SWAY LIKE A TREE—Rock with the rhythm of your breath.
    Inhalation:
  • Rock slowly back to heels.
  • Start to sit—tilt sacrum under, straightening lower back (fall-but-not-fall)—when body weight is over the heels.
  • Reverse the direction of swaying by ‘screwing’ the ankles and knees outwardly. It is as if you have screwdrivers and are screwing the feet more solidly into the ground, momentarily. The outward turnings of the screws go in an opposite direction in each leg.
    Exhalation:
  • Sway slowly forward to the toes while slowly exhaling.
  • Reverse the swaying motion to the back by ‘screwing’ the ankles and knees outwardly at the end of the exhalation. Do this when the weight is over the toes when you feel the tendency to fall forward.
  1. SHAKING  (Yang phase)
    Yin Phase: Horse Stance, Deep Breathing in the Tan Tien, Relax Physically, Smile—Face and Tan Tien, Sway Like a Tree in a Breeze, and BREATHE EARTH CHI INTO THE TAN TIEN Coordinate the subtle chi breath with breathing air into the lungs. Draw chi from the earth up through the feet and legs, hands and arms into the tan tien. With intention, attention, feeling and awareness—just let it happen.
    Inhalation:
  • Be aware of your feet as you inhale and sway back to the heels. Draw soothing earth chi up through the soles of the feet, up through the legs and perineum, and into the tan tien. As you expand the abdomen with the breath, feel that you are drawing the chi into the center.
  • Let the arms lightly swing forward and float upward a little as you inhale and sway back. Lift the index fingers higher than the other fingers to activate the chi flow coming into the fingers, thumbs, and palms.
  • Draw refreshing Earth chi through the relaxed thumbs, fingers and palms into the center of the tan tien. Keep 95% of your awareness in your relaxed, smiling tan tien. Keep your subtle breath focused there. You can use the other 5% to be aware of everything else.
  • Notice a tingly vibration in your fingertips as the chi comes into your hands. Gradually become aware of a tingling numbness filling your thumbs, fingers and palms—and then up into your forearms. Stay calm and relaxed, and enjoy it.
  • Feel the abundant field of chi lifting and buoying the hands up, like your palms are supported and resting on big balls of chi.
    Exhalation:
  • Lower the arms back to the sides and press the heels of the hands down as you exhale in the forward movement.
  • Feel that you are extending your hands energetically down through the ground, through the center of the earth, and out the other side through the galaxies below.
  • Be aware of a thick, spongy cushion of resilience of chi coming up from the earth as you press down with the heels of the hands.
  • Feel that you are sending toxins, tension, and tired, sick or negative energy from the cells down into the ground to be composted and recycled by Mother Earth.

COSMIC HEART SMILE TO MULTIPLY HEALING CHI
Charge Organs’ Positive Healing Power with Primordial Chi Dennis Huntington, Universal Tao Senior Instructor

COSMIC HEART SMILE:
Combine inner smiling with the loving radiation of the heart to activate each organ’s positive energy for transforming the negative energy. Extend the vital organ’s positive chi outward and multiply it with the primordial chi of the cosmos. The increased chi charges the organs with more power: strong vitality, good health, and positive emotional power.

Use the Love-Power of the heart combined with the gentle Inner Smile to sense, transform and enrich the positive energy of our cells, glands and vital organs.
  • Simple physical relaxation: Physically Relax Mid-Eyebrow, Eyebrows, Eyes and float down to Tan Tien. Relax Ears, Connect to Kidneys. Mouth Open, Teeth Separated, Jaw Hanging Loose: Connect relaxation to neck, shoulders, ribcage and tongue to Tan Tien. Empty the mind to the tan tien.
  • Smiling sunshine face: Bring a gentle smile into face and connect through the mid-eyebrow to the yellow-golden light energy from the smiling sunshine face of the sun.
  • Calm the brain and relax the spine in the back. In this ‘back smile line,’ direct the yellow-golden chi with the ‘Smile’ to calm the brain. Look left & right. Relax the spine in the back.
  •  
  • Relax the digestive tract: Relax this ‘middle smile line’ with the Inner Smile.
  • Begin the ‘front smile line’: thyroid, parathyroid and thymus glands. 
  • Inner Heart Smile for transforming the organs chi: Then, smile into the heart, the master organ. Radiate the positive love energy to activate each of the other vital organs. Follow the sequence of the creative cycle of the relationships between the vital organs— heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, sexual organs and liver. The first vital organ has a soothing, supportive effect on the vital organ that follows it. This helps to relax and be alert so that we can transform the negative emotional energies into the positive qualities.

  • Heart: Red; Positive—Love, Joy, Happiness. Negative—Hastiness, Impatience, Hatred, Cruelty; Dark Cloudy Color
  • Spleen: Yellow; Positive—Openness, Fairness, Trust. Negative—Worry, Negative Thinking, Too Much Thinking
  • Lungs: White; Positive—Courage, Righteousness, Appropriateness; Negative—Sadness, Depression
  • Kidneys: Dark Blue; Positive—Gentleness, Calmness, Stillness. Negative—Fear, Nervousness; Black Cloudy
  • Sexual Organs: Pink, Neutral. Sexual energy is the creative life force energy, a health tonic for our body and is the fuel for our spiritual evolution. It is neutral—no emotional qualities. Smile into the sexual organs, ovaries and uterus or testicles and prostate gland with love and respect. Feel the vitality.
  • Liver: Green; Positive—Kindness, Generosity, Forgiveness. Negative—Anger, Resentment, Jealousy
  • Shower Down: ‘Shower’ smiling energy down through all three lines at once!

COSMIC CONNECTION: In order to connect with the primordial chi of nature and the universe, use the fundamental pattern of energy movement, spiraling. Get energy moving in a spiral pattern within by using the mind-eye-heart-power, Yi. This enables you to merge the power of the three minds into one. This joining of three into one mind increases the ability to work more effectively with the energy within, as well as to access Primordial Chi, the fundamental energy of the universe that surrounds us.

COSMIC INNER SMILE: Use Yi power to expand organs’ chi in the six directions to charge organs with primordial chi.
  • YI Power—3 into 1: Spiral the three minds into one in the Tan Tien.
  • Organ Chi: Connect to Tan Tien and expand in the six directions:
  • Use the Yi: connect the positive chi of the organs to the Tan Tien and 6-directions. Lower the heart consciousness to ‘watch the monitor’ in the tan tien while extending tan tien awareness out in the six directions with each organ’s personal chi frequency.  Multiply it with primordial chi of Earth, nature and the universe. Draw the cosmically enriched chi back to the Tan Tien and into the respective organ for charging.
  • Sequence of vital organs: Heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, sexual organs and liver
COLLECT ENERGY—In Tan Tien Behind Navel.
  • Spiral outwardly around the navel from small to larger circles 36x.
  • Women begin with counterclockwise rotations; men start clockwise.
  • Then reverse large to small 24x.

YIN PHASE: Just Relax. Awareness in tan tien, observe body sensations, gentle smile.

FINISH: Chi Self-Massage. If you are not going to continue with another practice such as the Microcosmic Orbit, finish with a Quick Chi Self-Massage. At the end of any meditative practice or combination of practices, it is generally good to do this.

COSMIC INNER SMILE NOTES
The Cosmic Inner Smile follows the sequence of the Creation Cycle of the Five Elements. These are the five elemental tendencies—phases—of energy in nature and in the universe. The energy of each of the five vital organs and their associate organs is dominantly characterized by one of these elemental qualities of energy.

Correspondingly, there are characteristic emotional and color qualities of energy associated with the vital organs. The Cosmic Smile extends these positive personal energetic qualities of each organ out in the six directions of the universe. These personal frequencies of energy serve as magnets to attract the primordial chi of nature and the universe. Thereby, the energy becomes multiplied, and the organs become charged and strengthened by the personalized cosmic energy.

EMDR and SIX HEALING SOUNDS with HEART SMILE
BALANCE THE VITAL ORGANS’ CHI AND THE THREE TAN TIENS
Dennis Huntington, Universal Tao Senior Instructor

Overview: Simple Physical Relaxation, Smiling Sunshine Face. Prepare each organ with the heart smile. Yang phase: First do the EMDR DELETION PROCESS for each organ in its turn followed by the physical positions with each organ’s healing sound. Then, in the Yin Phase: Radiate love joy and happiness from the heart to activate the organs positive energy along with the Simple Inner Smile focused on the organ’s positive chi. Start with lungs, then kidneys, liver, heart, spleen. Finish with the triple warmer sound.

6 Healing Sounds:
  • Be Aware Of Any Dark, Cloudy Negative Energy of sadness or depression in the lungs, but don’t dwell on it. Perform the 9 L/R EMDR Deletion repetitions to delete or neutralize the negative emotional chi. Repeat if necessary. Do EMDR deletion in brain if the mind is disturbed and distracted.
  • Release Any Excess dark cloudy energy from the lungs that remains there as you exhale the organ’s sound. With your intention, guide the dark cloudy excess negative energy out and down into the ground with the exhalation to be composted and recycled by Mother Earth.
  • Radiate Heart’s Love: Place your hands on the area of the lungs. Radiate the happy loving heart energy to the lungs.
  • Concentrate On The Color And Emotional Quality: Upon completing the exhalation, concentrate on the white color and the courage and rightness, the quality of the lungs’ positive energy. Return your hands to the area of the lungs, smile and focus your intention and attention into the lungs.
  • Activate The Positive Virtue Energy: Smile into the lungs, directing the yellow-golden smiling sunshine energy from the mid-eyebrow point. Activate the positive virtue energy of the lungs by recalling that feeling from your past experience and transform the neutralized energy with the positive virtue energy of courage and the sense of rightness and appropriateness.
  • EMDR Positive Virtue Chi: Concentrate only on the positive virtue chi—grow only the ‘flowers,’ not the ‘weeds.’ Amplify the positive emotional qualities and brighten the white color of the energy in the lungs. Spread this power in the lungs with nine (9) positive reinforcement EMDR left-right eye movement repetitions; repeat as needed.
  • Keep 95% attention in tan tien: heighten your feeling and awareness capacity of your Second Brain. Keep the focused smiling in the lungs and in the subtle chi breathing for several breaths to charge the lungs’ chi with this positive chi.
  • Sense the increase in the chi field: Move the hands subtly back and forth. Then, move the hands to support the next organ, the kidneys, with the lungs chi.
  • Repeat the procedure similarly for each organ in the creation cycle with the heart smile to prepare each organ with their specific qualities.
DO EACH ORGAN SOUND 3x or More as needed. Maintain the sub-vocal quality—without the voice:
  • LUNGS —S-S-S-S-S (the beginning of the letter ‘C’ sound, hissing sound)
  • KIDNEYS — CH-OO-OO-OO
  • LIVER —  SH-H-H-H
  • HEART — HA-A-AW-W-W
  • SPLEEN — WHOO-OO-OO-OO (a guttural throat sound, sub-vocally)
  • TRIPLE WARMER — HE-EE-EE-EE . Finish in the YIN PHASE: CIRCULAR BREATHING in the tan tien.
  • COLLECT ENERGY in tan tien center behind navel.

CHI SELF-MASSAGE

Perform CS-M or selected parts of it after chi kung meditative or energizing practices.

ENERGIZE THE HANDS. Use the thumbs to massage the center of the palms. Rub the palms back and forth rapidly so the friction makes the hands hot; also interlace the fingers and rub with the same motion to stimulate the joints of the fingers and make them hot also. Likewise, rub the backs of the hands and fingers. When the hands are hot and energized, begin the massage.

HEAD: Flex the tip of the tongue up to the roof of the mouth while massaging the head.
  1. FOREHEAD RUB: Rub the fingers upward on the forehead, then back and forth sideways with fingers. Use the second knuckles of the index fingers to massage from the mid-forehead outward to the temples. Then, massage the temples clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) with the knuckles.
  2. EYE EXERCISE: Rub the hands hot. Cover the eyes with hands. Look up and down, left and right, upper right to lower left diagonally, then lower left to upper right. Rotate eyes CW, then CCW.
  3. RUB EYES & EYE SOCKETS: Use the pads of the fingertips to massage the eyeballs through closed eyelids. Rub the second knuckles of index fingers from bridge of nose to outside along top and bottom of eye socket bones.
  4. SIDES OF NOSE: Rub with index fingers, then under nose and upper lip with index finger.
  5. CHEEKS: Rub up and down with hands. Re-energize the hands and cover the whole face with the palms; relax and receive the chi from the hands. Then massage the whole face with an upward motion to counteract wrinkling tendencies due to gravity, and be sure to stimulate all areas of the facial skin.
  6. EARS: Place the middle fingers on skin at the front and index fingers at back, rub up and down. Pull and squeeze the ear lobes between the thumb and index fingers, then massage the whole ear shells with them, stimulating various reflexology points with comfortable pressure.
  7. BEAT THE DRUM: Cover ears with palms of hands to seal them so that fingers cover back of lower skull. Then, place index fingers over the middle fingers and forcefully snap them against the lower skull bones behind the ears, creating an internal vibration in the ears drums.
  8. POP THE EARS: Stick the index fingers into the ear openings and wiggle them back and forth several times. Pause and pull the fingers out energetically, creating a popping sensation.
  9. KNOCK THE HEAD: Massage the point at the center of the crown with both middle fingers. Use the knuckles to lightly knock the top, sides and back of the head. Follow with comfortable tapping/slapping of the same areas with fingers. Finish by massaging the scalp/hair from front to back along the sides and top with the pads of finger tips, using the fingers like a comb.
  10. MASSAGE BASE OF SKULL AND NECK: Use the thumbs to massage along the edge at the bottom of the base of the skull at the back of the head. Then, massage four points on each side of the spine with middle fingers starting from the top of the shoulders upward to the base of skull. Use the meaty sides of the fist to lightly beat the back sides of the neck to find any tense or painful spots and massage them.
  11. MASSAGE UNDER THE JAW BONES AND CHIN DOWNWARD ON THE THROAT: Use the thumb and index fingers of each hand alternately with a gentle pressure and wiping motion while lightly jutting the chin upward to expose the glands and throat area.

REST of the BODY

  1. Use the palm of the hand to slap the inner and outer sides of the arms and hand.     Use the palm of the hand to tap (hit) around the front and sides of the ribcage in order to send the vibrations deeper inside. Tap the kidney and sacrum area on the back using the backs of the hands while forming the hands into a relaxed fist. Slap the buttocks and downward around the legs using the palms of the hands.

FEET

  1. Slap the soles of each foot with the hand and then massage the soles of the feet with the thumbs and fingers. Give special attention to the ‘bubbling spring’ point in the center behind the two balls of the feet. Grab the toes of each foot and flex them back and forth, and then rotate them in a circular motion. Pinch the flesh at the sides of the toenail at the tips of each big toe using thumb and finger. Finally, pinch the tip of each of the other toes, holding the top and bottom of the toe between the thumb and finger.

This whole procedure can be done quickly. It doesn’t need to be a laborious, time-consuming process. Do it happily and feel good and refreshed afterwards!
