Falun Gong Exercise 3: Channeling Energy From the Two Cosmic Extremes

Channeling Energy From the Two Cosmic Extremes Channeling Energy From the Two Cosmic Extremes is the third exercise of Falun Gong. The purpose of this exercise is to bring together and blend the universe’s energy with the energy inside the body. A great amount of energy is expelled and taken in. In a very short time, the practitioner can expel discarded material from his or her body and take in a great deal of energy from the universe. This enables the body to be purified and quickly achieve what is known as “a Pure-White Body.” Also, while the arms are moving up and down the exercise facilitates the opening of the energy channels on top of the head, and unblocks the channels beneath the feet. Before doing the exercise, picture yourself as two gigantic empty tubes that are standing between heaven and earth – incomparably tall. During the exercise, the energy inside the body moves in accordance with the hands. With upward movement, the energy in the body rushes directly out of the top of the head to the upper pole of the universe with downward movement, it goes out through the bottoms of the feet to the lower pole of the universe. After these movements, the energy returns to the inside of the body from both poles. An arm moving up and down once is considered one repetition. Do this for a total of nine repetitions. After completing the singular up-and-down arm movements, move with both arms together. Repeat this for another nine repetitions. Afterwards, turn the Falun at the lower abdomen four times, which spins outside energy into the body. Jing hua ben ti Fa kai ding di Xin ci yi meng Tong tian che di Now, Teacher Li will show us how to do the exercise. To prepare, conjoin the hands in Jieyin. Stand in the same way as with the other exercises. Press the palms together in Heshi. Begin the singular up-and-down arm movements. Males begin with the left hand going upward first females begin with the right hand going upward first. Slowly raise the hand, passing in front of the face and extending the arm beyond the top of the head. While doing this, males will slowly lower the right hand, and females, the left hand. After reaching the furthest upper and lower points, the hands exchange positions. During the movements, the palms should face the body and keep a distance of about 10 centimeters (or 4 inches). The hands move straight upward and downward, with each up-and-down movement of an arm being counted as one repetition. Repeat for a total of nine repetitions. During these movements, keep the whole body relaxed. Halfway through the ninth single-arm repetition for males - the left hand, and for females, the right hand - should remain up above the head waiting for the other hand to be raised to the same upward position. Next, move both hands downward at the same time. As the hands move, the palms should face the body and be about 10 centimeters (or 4 inches) away from it. An up-and-down movement is counted as one repetition. Repeat the movement for a total of nine repetitions. After doing the double-arm movements move the hands downward past the face and over the chest until they reach the lower abdomen. Now, turn the Falun. For males, the left hand is on the inside for females, the right hand is on the inside. Keep a distance of about 3 centimeters (or 1 inch) between the hands and between the inner hand and the lower abdomen. Turn the Falun clockwise (as viewed from the front) four times to spin the energy from outside back to the inside of the body. When turning the Falun, keep the movements of the hands within the area of the lower abdomen. Jieyin.
