The practice of Zen Buddhism

Many come to me with a request to become their teacher. It makes me feel a deep sense of shame. People put so much effort into his work - inject wood, plow the fields, are ground, put the stone blocks - and, nevertheless, neither morning nor evening did not allow the slightest idea that they are on the Way. This determination to stand in the Way of touch. I, Su-yun, repent of his inconsistency and lack of paths of virtue. I can not advise you how to follow the path, and I can only give a few sayings of the ancients. 

There are four prerequisites on how to practice Chan: 

1. Deep faith in the law of cause and effect. 
2. Strict observance of the commandments. 
3. Unshakable faith. 
4. Selection as a method of its practice of one of the doors of the Dharma. 

The basic practice of Ch'an 

Our daily work is in itself already lies within the Way. Is there somewhere a place that can not be used for the practice of Way? Gym Chan is not so necessary. Moreover, the practice of Chan - is not just sitting meditation. Hall and meditation are designed for people who have caused karma insurmountable obstacles and do not possess sufficient wisdom. 

When you sit in meditation, it is necessary, above all, know how to regulate the mind and body. If they are not well adjusted, then turn slight damage to the disease, but a lot of damage will lead to demonic difficulties. It would be very unfortunate. Sitting meditation and meditation during walking in the hall for classes Chan intended to regulate the body and mind. There are other methods for the regulation of body and mind, but I'll talk about these two main methods. 

When you sit in the lotus posture, you should sit up straight and that it was natural. Give no waist forward. In doing so, you raise its internal heat, which later would cause the appearance of sand in the corners of your eyes, shortness of breath, bad breath, loss of appetite and, in worst cases, vomiting blood. 

If you see weakness or drowsiness, open his eyes wide, straight back and gently move your buttocks from side to side. Dullness will itself. 

When you do, being in a troubled, concern about the state of mind, you will have a sense of irritation and annoyance. At such moments, you should delay it, including attempts to deal with. Relax for some time. Gradually, after she recovered, start again for classes. If you do not do this, eventually you will develop short-tempered nature, and in the worst case, you can come insanity, or you can get into the network of the devil. 

Being engaged Chan, you will feel very much, too much to talk about it here. However, if you will not be tied to this experience, he will not have any influence on you. That is why the proverb says: "Vidte unusual, but do not think of it as unusual, and then this extraordinary retreat. 

If you feel something unpleasant, do not pay any attention to it and do not be afraid of anything. If you're experiencing something nice, do not pay any attention to it and do not let up in the love of it. In Surangama Sutra says: "If a man does not think that he has achieved something supernatural, then it is good. On the other hand, if he thinks he has achieved something supernatural, then it will attract demons." 

How to start classes: the distinction between master and gostem.Kak should start classes? In meeting Surangamy Noble Kauntinya mentioned two words: "guest" and "dust". This is where beginners should start their studies. 

He said: "A traveler staying at the hotel, can stay overnight or just eat and leave then. Finished eating and resting, he collects his belongings and continued his journey, because he has no time to stay long in one place. 

If he was master, he would not need to go anywhere. Therefore, I conclude: the one who does not remain, - guest, because the absence of stop - is the essence of the guest. Those who remain, - the owner. 

Again, a bright, clear day when the sun rises and the sunlight penetrates through the window in a dark room, can be seen flying in empty space dust. Dust moves, but the area remained calm. What is clear and calm, called the space, something that moves, called the dust, because the movement - is the essence of dust. 

Guest and dust are illusory thoughts, while the master and space are the true me. The fact that the owner should not be continued for a guest in his rise and fall, shows that the sustained nature of the true self does not follow illusory thoughts of their flea jumps back and forth. Therefore, it was said: "If a person is not affected by things, then he will not have any obstacles, even when he is constantly surrounded by things." 

Flying to and fro the dust does not obscure the clean, quiet, empty space, the illusory thoughts that arise and disappear by themselves, do not obstruct the true nature, I was. Therefore, it was said: "If my mind is not there, all things are perfect." In such a state of mind, even the guest with the illusory thoughts remain in place. 

If he understands that this space dust, illusory thoughts will no longer serve as obstacles. They say that when the enemy will, in your mind is no longer the enemy. If you will be able to explore and understand all of this before you start the course, it is unlikely you will make serious oshibki.Hua-tou and doubt. 

The ancient patriarchs pointed directly at the mind. When a man sees the nature of true self, he attains Buddhahood. This is precisely the case when Bodhidharma helped his student to calm your mind, and the Sixth Patriarch spoke only of the need to see the nature of true self. All that was necessary - is the direct understanding and acceptance of the Mind and nothing more. Such things as research-hua tou, no. 

However, later patriarchs saw that practitioners Chan can not immerse themselves in classes with full vigor and can not immediately see the nature of his true self. Instead, these people played games and mock the word of wisdom by putting on display not their own treasures and treasures collected by other people, and patriarchs were compelled to create a school and develop special techniques to help these people out of here and go method of investigating hua - tou. 

There are many hua-tou, like this: "All dharmas return to the same, but where returns are single?" "What was my original face before I was born?" etc. The most common, however, is: "Who says the name of Buddha?" 

What is meant by the Hua-tou? Hua means the spoken word; tou means head or top, then hua-tou mean what is in front of the spoken word. For example, if you say: "Buddha Amitabha" - is Hua and Hua-tou - is something that precedes the pronunciation of the name of Buddha. 

Hua-tou - this time before a thought. As soon as the thought arises, it is the tail - hua. A moment before there was an idea called the "Non-creation." 

When the mind is not distracted, not lethargic, not tied to a rest or fell into a state of nothingness, it is called "neumiranie. Dedicated and continuous treatment within and highlighting the state of Non-creation and neumiraniya called "study hua-tou" or "attention to the hua-tou." 

To investigate the hua-tou, you must first summon doubt, let him be. In the method of Hua-tou question like stick to walk. 

What is meant by the question? For example, you may ask: "Who says the name of Buddha?" Everyone knows that he utters the name of Buddha, but that he uses - his mouth or his - how he looks? This can not know. Thus, there is something that people do not understand, and this provides an opportunity arise slight doubt about the question "who". 

This question should never be rude. What it is thinner, the better the practitioner must observe and keep this doubt and give it to flow like a thin, fine jet of water. Do not let any other thoughts to distract you. When there is doubt, do not get it to work. When the question goes, gently let it occur again. 

Beginners will discover for themselves that more effectively use this method in a fixed position than in the movement, but you must learn not to distinguish between these two states. 

Regardless of whether your classes are effective or not, whether you're sitting at one place or walking, just purposefully use this method, continuing to work on hua-tou. 

In the Hua-tou "Whoever utters the name of Buddha?" emphasis should be placed on the word "who". Other words are used to carry out the basic idea of the question, as in the case when you ask: "Who wears?", "Who eats?", "Who defecates?", "Who urinates?", "Who is fighting for his ignorance ego? "," Who knows? ". 

Regardless of whether you are standing, sitting or reclining, the word "who" sent directly to you and demands an immediate response. If you are not over and over again thinking to myself, asking myself the same question: "Who?" If you do not make guesses and assumptions that will not rely on the account, then you can easily raise a sense of doubt. 

Consequently, the use of Hua-tou, the words "who" - this is an excellent method for the practice of Chan. But the idea of all this is not about to repeat again and again, "Who says the Buddha's name?", As one would repeat the very name of Buddha, just as the incorrect use of reasoning and conclusions to come to answering this question, assuming what exactly is meant by doubt. 

There are people who non-stop repeating the phrase "Who pronounces the name of Buddha?". They have accumulated more dignity and virtue, if repeated, instead, "Buddha Amitabha. There are others that allow your mind to wander, thinking that this is questioned, and they end up so that more involved in the illusory thoughts. It's just like trying to climb, in fact coming down. Beware of this. 

Doubt generated by novice trainee, tends to be rough, intermittent and erratic. This does not qualify as a true state of doubt. This question is nothing more than ordinary thought. 

Gradually, after the unchecked skipping back and forth thoughts calm down and the practitioner becomes more control, this process can be called "tsang" (tsang "means" to explore "," look inside "). When dealing with gaining experience and meditation become more smooth, doubt arises naturally, without any special effort on his part. At this point, lost orientation and sense of place. The existence of the body, mind or the environment is not realized. There is only doubt. This is the true state of doubt. 

In fact, the initial stage can not be regarded as true lessons Chan. Dealing simply engaged in illusory thoughts. Only when the question naturally arises, it can be called the true classes. This moment is a critical point, and dealing with it is easy to deviate from the correct path: 

1. At this point, there is the state of purity and clarity, and boundless sense of light, peace and quiet. However, when dealing with can not save its state of knowledge and enlightenment (knowledge is wisdom, and not misleading: enlightenment, enlightenment is samadhi, and not a mess), he falls into a light, bright state of mental lethargy and dullness. 

If at this moment next to be discriminating man, he can immediately tell him to do so and hit his stick, chasing all the clouds and smoke. Many people become illumined it this way. 

2. At this point, there is the state of clarity and purity, emptiness and blank. If not, then the question is lost. Then this state - "no content", meaning that dealing does not make any further effort to continue their studies. This is what is meant by "rock with the dried wood or stone, soaked in cold water." In this situation, a practitioner should "rise up". 

"Rise up" means to develop knowledge and enlightenment. This is different from what it was before, when the question was rude. Now it should be fine - a thought that is continuous and very, very thin. With absolute clarity it - anti-reflective and calm, motionless and still full of knowledge. Like the smoke from the fire, ready to just about rolled down, it is a narrow continuous flow. 

When dealing with up to this point, you must have a very accurate eye on their feelings, not to try to more "rebel". "Revolt" at the moment would be the same as putting one's head to another. 

Once a monk asked the Ch'an master Chao-Chou: "What should I do when nothing comes?" Chao-Chou replied: "Add". Then the monk asked: "If nothing comes, that we should defer?" Chao-Chou replied: "If it can not be postponed, take it." 

This dialogue can be precisely attributed to such a situation. The true flavor of this state can not be described. It's like a person who drinks the water - only he knows how it is cool or warm. If a person reaches this state, he will understand it naturally. If he is not in this state, no explanation will not help. Master sword fencing to offer a sword, do not show my poems to anyone who is not a poet. 

Working with the Hua-tou and circulation inside to hear their true nature 

One might ask: "How in the study of Chan takes into account the method of treatment of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara inside himself, to hear the true nature of his I?" I already explained that working with hua-tou is that at any given time have only one thought, purposeful shedding light inside themselves to "what is born and not destroyed." Shedding light inside themselves - a reflection. The true nature of me - is that there can be neither born nor destroyed. 

When the "hearing" and "shedding light" follow the sound and form in the normal flow of worldly life, hearing is not beyond the boundaries of sound and vision is not beyond the boundaries of form. However, when the turn inward and contemplate the true nature of his I, going against the flow of worldly and not following the sound and shape, then become a clean and transparent. At this time, "hearing" and "shedding light" are not two distinct things. 

Thus, we need to know that working with the Hua-tou and circulation inside to hear the true nature of his I did not mean to use the eyes to see and ears to hear. If we use our ears to hear and eyes to see, then we hunt for the sound and form. And, as a result, they will affect us. This is called the subordination of the secular stream. 

If dealing with only one thought, purposefully staying in that is not born, does not die, did not follow the sound and shape, with no wandering thoughts, then go against the flow. This is also called to work with the Hua-tou and handling inward, to hear the true nature of his ego. It does not say that you should firmly close their ears and eyes. Just not to bring your mind, following the sound and shape. 

The determination to leave samsara, and the generation of forward-mind. In the classroom Chan, the most important thing is to have the conviction to keep the birth and death and looking to generate intelligence. If there is no conviction to leave the birth and death, then you can not generate a "great doubt" and classes will not be effective. 

If the mind there is no perseverance and tenacity, the result will be lazy, like the man who is engaged in one day and rest for ten days. Classes will be incomplete and fragmentary. Just develop persistent intelligence, and when the great question arises, desires themselves come to an end. When the time comes, melon itself is separated from the vine. 

I'll tell you a story. During the Qin Dynasty, the year Ken Jie (1900), when the eight states of the world sent their allied troops in Beijing, the Emperor Kwang-Su fled from Beijing to the west in the province of Shensi. Every day he walked ten miles. When he walked along the road, a farmer offered him the stems of sweet potatoes. After eating them, the emperor asked the farmer what it is, because what he ate, it was very tasty. 

Now think about the ordinary, inspiring awe and fear behavior of the emperor and his arrogance! How do you think how long he could continue to maintain its imperial posture after such a long journey on foot? You think he's ever been hungry? Do you think he ever had to eat the stems of sweet potatoes? At that time, he threw all his self-importance.

Color therapy, color meditation

Color - is light, without which our existence. Color therapy - is the use of color in meditation. 
We perceive color primarily through vision, but unconsciously, we absorb it through the skin, muscles and even bones. Color, penetrating way in our body, causing certain biochemical reactions in the tissues, stimulates the important gland, including the pituitary gland. This gland produces hormones that control body functions: sleep, sexual arousal, metabolism, appetite. By influencing our body, the color can become a healer. The science of healing color is called color therapy. 

Treatment of the color used since ancient times. The peoples of ancient civilizations of Egypt, India and China have used the healing properties of color. Thus, we find documentary evidence that, for instance, Chinese doctors ancient times treated stomach ailments in yellow, and scarlet fever patients encouraged to wear red scarves. Avicenna, in his famous work "The Canon of Medicine" also wrote that the bleeding should not look at the red, they just need to use calming properties of blue, in order to stop the outflow of blood from the wound. It is also used in their practice colored ointments and colored elixirs. 

In the Middle Ages in the temples built using large stained-glass windows, through which the falling colored healing rays. 

By itself science color therapy begins with the opening of British scientists and Blunta Down (1877) therapeutic properties of ultraviolet rays (treatment of skin diseases and rickets). An important step in the development of science have become works of American Scientists Edwin Babbitt (The Principles of Light and Color, 1878) and Plizantona, which described the curative effects of each color of the spectrum. Thus, Babbitt recommended to treat infertility in red, blue - nervous disorders, and use yellow as a laxative. 

German physician Georg von Langdorf discovered that the red color expands blood vessels, and blue - on the contrary, narrows them (Die Licht-und Farbgesetze und ihre therapeutische Anwendung, 1894). 

Rudolf Steiner, Austrian philosopher, mystic and teacher, used the color in their spiritual exercises. He founded anthroposophy, a science of spiritual perception of human rights and development in human awareness of self in connection with the universe. On the basis of anthroposophy schools have been established. 

In the first room tsetre to study anthroposophy were installed windows with colored glass, so that people could have experienced the curative effects of colored light. In today's Waldorf school color is used at each stage of child development. In teaching young children, use bright and warm colors, and for training senior use cold colors.

Meditation: Musical birth of the universe

Most important in this meditation - be a spectator, who observes that shows the imagination - is the meditation techniques. 

Turn on your favorite meditation music. It can be any music. 

Allow me to tune to cover all your body. The high notes will sound in your crown, and low from the center below the navel. In the area of the solar plexus will note the middle octave. You do not need to deliberately spread through the body. Just in my imagination do the step at the center of the sound and turned into sound. 

The music here - a metaphor for unknown universe of processes can be energy, and maybe we still have no words to describe them. Rely on your creative imagination. It will reveal to you something unique. 

Above all, be just an observer. Do not try to consciously submit. Use the principle of snowflakes, which shifts the avalanche. 

At the moment, listening to the file, you will hear my instructions on how to push your imagination, hinting to him that now should be done and see what it will reveal to you. 

The creative imagination. 

You certainly know the difference - and imagine looking at imaginary. This exercise develops the imagination. 

When we imagine, is something we are doing this through our own efforts. And when looking at that imagines something inside us, we relaxed as spectators in the cinema and simply perceive something that comes from somewhere inside. Here is the "-seed" and is, in my opinion, the most convenient approach to meditation with music. 

You become a spectator, who listens to that show him his imagination. This in itself shows. Without the participation of the viewer, but at certain points in the audience said that the show, on which topic, let alone the imagination takes the theme and "spins" it. So more clear? 

Appliances meditation. 

Carefully read the text below - a technique of meditation and run it. 

1. Become a listener. 

Turn on the downloaded file. I put to music by some of her comments. Quite a bit. To help at the right time. 

The first thing you do, you just listen to music as a listener. This means, know that you are now listening to music. All the attention only to her. Remove attention from the thoughts and send it only to the music. 

I call it "conscious listening", that is, you realize that you're listening to music. You do not need to talk, explaining himself, like all wonderful and good. Just listen. Inside the quiet and empty. 

Imagine that you're listening to music sounding from the center of the universe and this tune makes the whole world, that is. 

This idea resonates with the ideas of Hinduism that the dance of Krishna creates the universe. We do not know if this is, but the idea is beautiful. Yes? Listening to music, which creates the universe, you comprehend the metaphysical component of the universe through sound. Perhaps you are born inside the vision and you will be looking at the process of creation, perhaps you'll just listen. It is not important. The most important thing in this step, imagine that you're listening to music created the world. 

2. Become music. 

The next step, to be associated with this music and become her. You imagine, that becomes the center of the universe, which sounds and melody that gives rise to everything else. 

The idea is that when the orchestra plays, the music is born in every moment of his game, and then begins to live in the hearts of listeners. Music comes from almost nowhere. From the air. The air trembles with some frequency and forms a sound that is oddly intertwined with others and get the melody. Submit touches the listener and creates emotions. Emotions listeners tuned to a specific mood and there are ideas. Ideas, if the listener is sensitive to them, can help make their lives better and richer. This is the link through the centuries, of which I spoke above. 

You imagine yourself in sound when the center of the universe, is born in every moment of every sound in every moment. Maybe you'll feel the birth of sensations, and, possibly, the imagination will tell you this in the pictures. In any case, just give ear. We must consider all this you can then, when the meditation ends. 

Once you enjoy a constant birth-music, you may want to watch the birth of the rest of the world. And watch. I'm here when will be the best time to go to the observation. 

3. Life after the end of music. 

When the melody ends, not in a hurry to get up and start thinking. The process of birth in this meditation is over, but, life, birth, you began your journey. Witness the fact that it will show you the imagination, and then realize that you were just God, who gives birth to the universe. It is clear that this is only a metaphor, but in this meditation is the essence and practical. What? Presenting itself as a center, which creates all that exists, you associate with a deep-lying in your archetypes, that is, ideas that shape your life. 

The basic idea is that a god created something, and we just created them. If we occasionally put yourself in the place of God, even in imagination, we have shown this in his divine attributes, in this case - creation, that is, actions in realizing their dreams. And the main thing is that this creation is easy, in one breath and beautiful. Gradually, this skill - to create easy and beautiful, is transferred into your life and what you are doing, brings more and more divine, and it does not matter whether you bake pies, or create something big. Manifestation of God adorns everything

Meditation on the color. Chromotherapy

All methods of color therapy are simple and affordable. However, we should not think that the treatment of color all at once correct and in case of serious illness should still consult with their physician or other qualified professional. 

Warning Since the colors evoke specific physiological responses in the body can not use red color in inflammatory processes, high blood pressure and acne (acne). Blue does not apply at reduced pressure. Particular caution should be applied indigo, because it affects the endocrine system. It is dangerous to expose themselves to the impact of any color is too long, especially the red end of the spectrum. Treatment also requires an additional color therapy, even briefly. Typically, therapy is green or blue colors of the end of the spectrum should not exceed 15 minutes, and treatment with flowers of red end of the spectrum should last less than half the above time. Healing complementary color lasts for three minutes for the red and blue, and seven for the green and magenta. 

Irradiation 

Therapy using colored light is chromotherapy. The term derives from the Greek word "chroma" - "light." This method of treatment was known in ancient times, when patients were treated with the rays of sunlight penetrating through the stained glass or crystals. Today you can find a huge number of lamps, specially designed for the treatment of light, which can be applied in different rooms (rooms, saunas, showers, etc.). In addition to special units for chromotherapy, you can build a light source by using colored filters or gels that are sold in specialized stores electrical and photographic equipment. Placed on ordinary desk lamps or other light sources in your home, they perfectly fulfill its role in the treatment process. You can also buy light bulbs of different colors and twist them into ordinary lamp socket. Depending on what effect you want, change them: for example, twisted blue bulb for relaxation, and the lamp apricot or peach color to the room (the bedroom) was warmer and so forth. You can also use a lighted candle placed in a glass of colored glass. The candlelight is soft and gentle, and in combination with colored glass it is endowed with a peculiar mood and feeling. Treatment of multi-colored lights usually conducted in two ways. Chromotherapy may be subject to all the whole body (especially the back), in the case when you want to revive the body. Or, you can expose light any body part or organ that needs treatment. Carefully read the information placed in the "Colors" and "Chakra", if you're not sure exactly what color you cured or consult a specialist who not only identify the color, but, most importantly, the exposure time. For the session chromotherapy better to be dressed in a white or light colored clothing, then you better absorbs the color. If you are dressed in clothes of a clearly defined color, it can interfere with treatment. 

Tsvetopunktura 

One method of light exposure on the human body is the effect of colored rays on the meridians of the human body. But in this case, the acupuncture points are not exposed to needles and colored rays. Duration of exposure for 1-2 minutes - in the case of prevention. In the case of serious illness duration of exposure of colored rays, the distance between the light source and the meridian (with accuracy up to centimeters) can be set individually chromotherapist. 

Color bath 

To create a color bath suitable color bath salt and food coloring. If you are going to take a color bath, its temperature should not be very hot because the heat will prevent the absorption of energy required color. Baths warm spectrum is desirable to take in the morning, but cold tones as relaxing - at the end of the day. Especially we must be careful when adding essential oils. If the bath is too hot, the essential oils can quickly evaporate. Blue bath to help recover from a hard day's work, blue - turn away from everyday life and to promote meditation, violet - inspire you to achieve the ideals of life and work. To cleanse the aura recommended turquoise bath. Pink bath will give self-confidence. 

Glasses with colored glass 

Penetrating through the colored glasses colored light wave acts directly on the brain and cause the appropriate reaction of the organism. 

Therapy crystals, precious and common stones. 

As is known, the crystals are composed of atoms, whose density varies. If the crystals are exposed to heat or pressure, there is a stream of electrical oscillations. Thus, the crystals are conductors of energy and her sinks. Therefore no coincidence that the crystals are able to perceive and react to our thoughts and feelings. Moreover, they can restore the balance in that part of the body, which is sick and is in disharmony. In addition, the impact of crystals and stones affect the human body and its color. As is known, the stone chooses its master. It should come to the shop of crystals and stones, and mentally ask the question that most excites you. Stone itself "talk" with you. 

Zvukoterapiya 

Even in the 18 century was opened by the ratio of sounds and colors. Each color corresponds to a note. Modern zvukoterapiya based on the fact that sound, having its wavelength, affects the corresponding chakra. Similarly, the color wave effect on our brains. Unfortunately, so far the impact of colors in the relation with the sounds not systematized. 

Colored water 

This method has been used since ancient times. On this day in India, the followers of Ayurvedic medicine use "solarization." In addition to its antiquity, this method is quite simple. In the capacity of colored glass (preferably with a tap) and poured liquid (water, milk, lotion, medicine). Then expose the vessel to sunlight. Turns a double effect on consumption solyarizirovannoy fluid. Thus, red water, for example, gives energy and warmth, orange - refreshing, yellow - stimulates; green - harmonizes and stabilizes; fluid, charged with blue, blue or violet rays, soothe. It is clear that the liquid in the pot of warm solyariziruemye spectrum should be used as intended in the first half of the day, and cold - in the second. 

Meditation 

Meditation with color - one of the oldest methods of self-healing. Perhaps one or more of the chakras are not functioning normally. Meditation with the color of a chakra will restore balance and harmony. 

Visualization 

Like a meditation, with the exception that when you render a person sees or creates in his mind the picture. A person need only look to any surface, painted pure color, or simply to provide a color, and before his mind's eye begin to float images (these can be pictures of wildlife or the events of the day). Color in this method is the only way to achieve an altered consciousness. The one color that people generally can not provide or sees a very vague, perhaps not in his aura, and thus we can speak of a reduced function of the corresponding color of this chakra. 

Color food 

Man perceives the color of food is not only the eyes. Color food contains a lot of vitamins. According to ancient Indian scientists, the color itself contains minerals and trace elements. Just as water, any food can be exposed to solarization. Because of its color, food excite our appetite and stimulates salivation. Moreover, we instinctively chooses the food, the properties of which are associated with its color. This color may be lacking in the aura. 

Aura-Soma 

This method of color therapy invented a pharmacist and mystic Vicky Wall in 1984. Aura - is a field that surrounds the man, catfish - in Greek, means "body". Vikki was to promote healing lotions and creams for many years. The idea of separation of liquids and creating a "gramoniziruyuschih bubbles" came to her in a dream. Council "fluids" was repeated. In the third night, Vicki got up, and poorly understood what she was doing, created what she later called "multi-colored jewels." This two-layer fluid, one above the other, different colors. The upper part of the bubble fills the blend of essential oils, and lower - herbal infusion. Before you rub the elixir of the body, should shake the bottle to mixed layers. The process of mixing of fluids is also important for diagnosing diseases. Vicki Wall invented a lot of healing and gramoniziruyuschih elixirs (including for each chakra). She also invented and other varieties of herbal tinctures and oils, called "flavors" and "quintessence." They, in contrast to harmonize elixirs, treat flavors. 

The process of harmonizing treatment of bubbles Aura-Soma is also of great importance. In early invited to a huge number of bubbles, just follow your instincts, to choose four. The first bottle will treat the selected target present incarnation, the second - the difficulties in life, the third - on the state at the moment and the steps to be taken immediately, the fourth - will tell about the future. Choosing bubbles further discussed with chromotherapist Aura-Soma, who will also recommend how to apply the liquid - or rubbed into the skin, or arrange them in a certain order so that they can influence through vision.

Methods accumulation of Chi

In his treatise "Huang neytszin" says: "Man is born and lives through the Qi of heaven and earth". Indeed, the functioning of the human body is closely linked to the Qi of heaven and earth, of all things, it is only possible thanks not for a moment cease the exchange of information and energy with the nature, the cosmos. "Typesetting" Qi in Qigong is an active election to establish channels of communication with nature in the qigong-state and the absorption of the necessary information and man power to fill the lack of "seed", qi and mind-sheng, the balance between yin and yang in the body Rights continuous recharge chi-qigong therapist for treatment with the "external qi". 

1. General information about "scoring" qi

4) During the "scoring" to mentally imagine that part of the body through which the "Typesetting" ', as if united in one with heaven and earth, sun and moon, mountains and rivers, with trees and grasses that qi these objects entered the human body, as it merges with his chi and he gradually "immerses" himself in nature. It should be that all the openings of the body, all biologically active points and pores completely open, and the qi of plants, moon, sun and stars, the qi of all things in the universe a continuous stream enters the body and it is filled with bliss and joy. The main thing in "scoring" Qi - relaxation, mild course of thought, the minimal involvement of consciousness, concentrating on the sensations, silky soft and easy flow of qi in the body through the holes, pores, and skin and its way out.

2) "Typesetting" qi of heaven and earth. Mental picture in this case is as follows. Qi sky falls on the body or at any point, envelops the whole body into it, enter all the tendons, bones, biologically active points and internal organs. When "scoring" the qi of the earth's imagination must paint a similar picture, with the only difference being that Qi does not fall from the sky, and rises from the ground. 

3) "Typesetting" qi through the pores of the body. Downstream imagine how "pathogenic qi" is scattered across the sky through the pores of the body. On the inhale, imagine how through the pores of the body is the original space chi.

On exhalation, accompanied by the sound "a-ha, this flux, as if passing through a filter that changes color to red and comes in the middle meridian. On this meridian energy moves from the top through the throat along the central axis of the body down to the perineum, and then, along with the audio, which emit when they want to cool something hot, changes color in the variegated and rushes through his legs in the foot and further highlighted in blue, goes into the ground. 

8) "Typesetting" qi with external sound. To implement this method can be used fonozapis soft, pleasant music or voice coach, as well as the natural rhythmic sounds: the hum of insects, babbling brook, and so must ensure that the internal organs and external covers, the biologically active points included in the frequency resonance with these sounds that the energy of these sounds penetrate through the skin to the bones.

As seen from the above, the methods of "scoring" of qi and energy a lot, and they are somewhat similar. Therefore, they can choose, depending on the individual characteristics of existing rights and conditions. Being engaged regularly and persistently, you will master any of them.

Ten ways to seat alone in meditation

"Sitting alone" is one of the basic health practices qigong. During the "seat" inevitably begins a movement of "true Qi". There are many cases where people, exhausted mass of chronic diseases, by simple qigong, which is the seat cross-legged with a concentration on Dantian, just a few months became completely healthy. However, as often happens that people do not get the attitude, and if it turns out, he can not get rid of extraneous thoughts, experiencing severe discomfort.

This can be done a long breath and short breath, or, conversely, short breath and a long exhale. With this method of breathing is performed 2.3 respiratory cycles per minute. 

5. Contemplation alone five internal organs 
Sitting in the "resting state", first call the mental image of the kidneys in black and myself shall count 36 of their pulsations.

Mastered this method, you can go to its more complicated version, namely: to observe the color of exhaled and inhaled qi, and a longer delay before the expiration of qi. Even more advanced variant of this method is to observe the mind comes into the body of a white chi, breath accompanied by the word "van"; red chi during the breath-holding, accompanying it with the word "a"; transcends Qi orchid flowers, exhaling accompanied by the word "hoon .
