Kunlun clockwise vs. counterclockwise

[Ratatosk]

Here's a few pointers that I've collected. Feel free to add more.

 

CLOCKWISE:

- will allow the energy to swim into you

- upward-flowing - draws the energy down (for creation)

- grounds, nourishes, and strengthens

- warming

- inbreath

- electric

 

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE:

- will allow you to swim up into the energy

- downward-flowing - draws the energy up (for evolution)

- evolves, transforms, breaks the energetic shell of the body by counter-rotation

- cooling

- outbreath

- magnetic

[Shagrath]

CLOCKWISE:

 

- Yang

- constitution of energy (when someone has energy deficiency in some organ we treat it with hand clockwise rotation)

- bringing in new fresh energy

 

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE:

 

- Yin

- dispersion of energy (when someone has energy excess in some organ we treat it with hand counter-clockwise rotation)

- taking out old toxic energy

I understand the idea, but how about where to apply it?

[joeblast]

and when it of course depends on the situation. e.g. you dont want to get all yang on an inflamed muscle.

[Ratatosk]

With Kunlun level 1 (the spontaneous posture) we are generally adviced to start out going clockwise, to build the necessary foundational energy and ground it into the body. Then, after quite some time, after you've opened up, you could start going counter-clockwise. These rotations are done with the spine, spiraling from the waist.

River salmon are experts at using the counter-clockwise (relative to the stream) vortex to move upstream.

When we do this internally we're moving up the cosmic stream...

Yep.
