When the gifts are bought, the dress is chosen, and the Christmas tree is decorated, a child wakes up in every adult. The one who believes that in the new year his dreams will come true. In the Taoist tradition, they believe that in order for wishes to come true, you need to make them correctly and direct your energy towards their realization. How exactly?
Despite the fact that the word “project” is relatively modern, in the Taoist tradition more than a millennium ago there was a project approach to the realization of conceived desires. Here’s what it looks like.
STEP 1 – TERMS OF REFERENCE
First you need to formulate the desire so simply that it is understandable to the “executor” (that is, in fact, to your own subconscious mind, which paves the way to new achievements).
There’s a good test to see if you’re too smart: if the description bounces off your teeth at any time of the day or night, then you’re fine. If you have difficulty choosing words or the wording causes internal resistance instead of joyful anticipation, it makes sense to think more. Otherwise, at the implementation stage, there is a chance that the desire will not come true as we would like.
STEP 2 – SMART MARKETING
Remember how you received any advertising mailing. Some texts do not arouse interest at all, while others encourage action. It is the same with the fulfillment of desires: in order for it to be fulfilled in the best possible way and you can enjoy the result, it should begin with the following words: “I want to be / be able / create”. “I want to have” – comes true, as a rule, distorted.
STEP 3 – RESOURCE PLANNING
Now it is important to provide your desire with energy fullness. Ideally, if you practice Taoist practices of accumulating vital qi energy: for example, women’s Taoist practices or neigong. If so far this is far away, then let the “technical task” with desire come across to you everywhere – stick it on the mirrors (but not on the rear view of the car), put it on the screen saver in gadgets, put a note with a formulated desire in your wallet.
In the Taoist tradition, it is believed: where attention is, there is qi. And when you fill your idea with energy, it will turn out as if “everything happens by itself.”
STEP 4 – APPLICATION OF KNOW-HOW
In Eastern medicine, the human body is presented as an atlas of energy channels and active points on it. Each of the points is associated with the work of certain internal organs, the manifestation or suppression of emotions, and is also able to control external processes – events.
A point called Yu-Jen is responsible for the implementation of intentions – it is located in the region of the first cervical vertebra (the head nods on this vertebra). Yu-Jen helps to see clearly which line of the future we choose, what are the goals and consequences of this choice, which is very important for proper planning. If this point is active and filled with qi energy, a person sets and embodies such intentions that will lead him to a happy full life.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that usually the neck-shoulder girdle is strongly clamped – the reason for this is computer work, active sports without subsequent specific relaxation, and some health problems.
Taoist know-how is to structurally open this point, to release its energy potential for the speedy fulfillment of your desires. To do this, you need to learn how to relax the entire cervical-shoulder region. With this, the complex of healing qigong for the spine Sing Shen Juang works perfectly.
We offer one of the exercises aimed at opening the Yu-Jen point – it is called the “Crane Neck”.
EXERCISE FOR ACTIVATION OF YU-JEN
Stand up straight, feet hip-width apart, palms covering the lower abdomen. The crown tends upward.
Start moving your head forward: the chin seems to be sliding on an invisible horizontal surface, while the neck is gently extended, slightly squeezing, closing the Yu-Jen space.
Stretching your neck forward as comfortably as you can, make a small downward movement with your head, as if you were stroking an invisible wall in front of you with your nose, while maintaining an upright position.
Now release the rotation of the head forward – it seems to flow, vertebra by vertebra down to the sternum. Under the weight of the head, the Yu-Jen space opens up. Ask the body to remember this feeling of opening, of relaxation.
Begin to “sprout” – while the vertebra is built over the vertebra from the base of the neck: first the seventh cervical vertebra, sixth, fifth, fourth … The neck gradually raises its head up, to a vertical position, so as to maintain the opening of Yu-Jen.
When doing the exercise, ask yourself the question: “How can I make this movement even softer, more relaxed?”. Perhaps for this it is necessary to reduce the amplitude or speed of movements, the main thing is relaxation, softening of all structures of the neck and the Yu-Jen area.
It is good to do this exercise before the “technical task” step, then the true desires will come to the fore and the necessary words for the description will be found by themselves.
