RookieIAm Posted August 6, 2017 What is the most effective way to do the microcosmic orbit? How do you do it and how is yours different? Are there any tips you have that would make it more effective? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phil Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) my advice .. better search for the safest ones unless you have a teacher who can help you if energy get's stuck ( and of course safe doesn't mean non-effective)  Edited August 6, 2017 by phil48 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RiverSnake Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Mudra for opening up and circulating chi in the Microcosmic orbit. Basically connecting the thumbs and index fingers to create an oval like shape. Simple yet effective.    Edited August 7, 2017 by OldSaint 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiForce Posted August 8, 2017 I don't even think there is any specific way. Is supposed to be a natural process once your mind is quieted down enough and your meditative concentration is either on your dan tien or your heart channel. However, I believe all MCO is the same. Energy running through your energy channels and your third eye would begin to see a whitish/blueish light. If you are just starting out....it may take a while to happen though.    2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
