There are many paths on this quest. Unique to qigong is the indivisibility of the mind-body-spirit. Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming has once again brought his unique scholarship and experience to write an insightful analysis of this ethereal and profound idea of spiritual enlightenment. His approach has always been to provide the information--a map--for the path.

Small Circulation, or the Microcosmic Orbit, has been known for centuries for promoting health and longevity. Small circulation is the practice of circulating energy within the human body through the two main pathways of the body. This practice is considered the foundation of internal elixir qigong and was a fundamental step of meditation training in ancient times. Over the centuries, this practice has slowly been lost from many meditation traditions, and its importance is being forgotten. Small circulation regulates the qi circulating in the twelve primary qi channels, making it abundant throughout the entire body. Building upon a foundation of embryonic breathing practice, small circulation is the second stage of meditation training. Dr. Yang presents translation and analysis of many ancient documents used to transmit small circulation and internal elixir cultivation and offers modern scientific explanation for learning and training safely. Though meditation is popular today for relaxation and general health, the ultimate goal of this training, in both Daoism and Buddhism, is spiritual enlightenment.

Throughout many disciplines of spiritual growth, light is mentioned as the source of all life. Those who have experienced enlightenment describe it as being aware of everything that surrounds them as energy and light. The light energy referred to within A Course in Light is not a symbolic term but the actual light energy of your own soul and body of light. Through the meditations and lessons, light magnifies and is directed throughout the physical system for transformation and change. The first level focuses on the physical body and your material surroundings and acquaints you with the different egos and bodies that are aspects of yourself. Your personality ego and organic and cellular egos are individual and collective intelligence that have been impressed with your mental and emotional experiences. These egos are acknowledged during meditation to help bring unity within. When vibrations of all the bodies are in harmony, you experience a wonderful new wellness, strength, and clarity. What makes this different from any other course? The direct experience you feel, sense, and become aware of during meditation. Energy surges through your body, mind, and soul during your sessions. It is a path healing every aspect of your body and its egos. This course takes you step by step through your personal clearing. Based on the ancient teachings of Agni Yoga, this is a bridge between all spiritual paths.
