The Circulation of Qi in the Microcosmic Orbit of the Ren and Du Meridians

During meditation focused on breath observation, Lan Tian experiences the movement of energy channels: In recent days while meditating and observing the breath, the energy intensely impacts the perineum area, with noticeable increases in heat sensations in the perineum, coccyx, lower back, and pelvis. Around February last year, when the energy channels were clearing the subtle sense faculties at the back of the head, the left ear had been experiencing tinnitus for over five months. After the energy channels cleared the brain region, the tinnitus in the left ear resolved. In May last year, during meditation, because the tip of the tongue was not fully pressed against the palate and front teeth, the energy passing between the upper right and lower right teeth caused inflammation throughout the upper gumline, damaging three upper teeth.

These phenomena occur as energy enters the Du meridian. When energy flows within the Du meridian along the back, it also regulates the internal organs in the front and the entire body. Energy enters the back from the coccyx, encounters some obstruction when reaching the back of the neck, and breaks through this point to enter the subtle sense faculties in the back of the head. Although the obstruction here might be more significant, the sense faculties of eyes, ears, nose, and tongue receive effective regulation, leading to sharpened senses and the elimination of eye, ear, nose, and tongue ailments. Once energy reaches the back of the head, it is crucial to intensify meditation practice to strengthen the energy flow, enabling it to swiftly pass through the Baihui point at the crown. This enhances the therapeutic effect. When energy circulates to the back of the head, one can visualize karmic obstruction energy exiting through the Baihui point at the crown. This also aids in eliminating diseases and allows the energy to quickly pass through the back of the head, reaching the junction of the Ren and Du meridians, thereby facilitating the clearance of both the Ren and Du meridians.

Gum inflammation occurs when strong energy becomes blocked at the gum area, causing heat to burn the gums and resulting in inflammation. If the connection between the Ren meridian at the tongue tip and the Du meridian at the gums is properly established, energy can smoothly pass through the gums to the tongue, entering the Ren meridian and completing a microcosmic orbit cycle, preventing such issues. Among the three main energy channels, energy first clears the Ren meridian, then the Du meridian. Once the Ren and Du meridians circulate freely, energy enters the central channel. The central channel is the most difficult to clear, but once cleared, all diseases vanish.
