In today’s article, I wish to help merge some of the “alternative” healing concepts. Many know yoga, prana, chakras, meridians, reiki …. But for many, especially those who learnt these modalities online and during the lockdown phase, cannot connect the dots.

I have a hunger for knowledge on chakras since my early teens. While some could see auras, I could see chakras. This changed in 2014, when I was hospitalised … and the lady in bed next to me, was gravely ill, I decided to “temporarily” close my abilities. When I was home, I’d just flick that switch. Right? Wrong! But that is a whole other story I may one day blog about.

So, over the years I learnt various other modalities, in the hope, one day I will reverse that “flicked switch”; from Reiki (I kinda grew up with – family), to Faith Healing, to Acupressure and Meridians, to Cosmic Healing, to Pendulum Healing, so many more modalities and still learning. But no matter what I study, I always try to find that connection with the Chakras – my passion. With studying and maturity, one starts to “connect the dots” (well hopefully that is the case for us all).

In the world of Chakra, which I know most of you are familiar with now, imagine we place the 7 main chakras of the human into three conscious categories: Upper, Middle and Lower or the Three Tan Tiens.

ROOT ORGANS: Reproductive Systems (male and female) SACRAL ORGANS: Bladder, Large Intestine, Bottom part of Kidneys SP ORGANS: Kidneys upper, Adrenal Glands, Small and Large Intestine, Spleen, Pancreas, Liver, Gallbladder and Stomach HEART ORGANS: Heart, Lungs and Thymus Gland THROAT ORGANS: Thyroid, Vocal Cords, Trachea and Oesophagus, Mouth, Ears and Lower Sinuses 3rd Eye ORGANS: Eyes, upper Sinuses. CROWN ORGANS: Our physical Brains, Left, Right, Central, Frontal Lobes

Our organs communicate with each other and with our Energy Centers or Chakras and higher. The arrows represent Meridians. Two Meridians I have not shown here, are the Governing and Conception or Functional Meridians.

WHAT ARE MERIDIANS? Meridians are invisible pathways that connect various organs and systems within the body. According to TCM, there are 12 primary meridians, each associated with a specific organ and its corresponding functions.

TAN TIEN CONSCIOUSNESS There is a long-standing Taoist practice of cultivating and training consciousness in the Three Tan Tiens, especially the Lower Tan Tien. The consciousness of each Tan Tien is named after its unique focus: The Upper Tan Tien corresponds to the upper or observing mind. The Middle Tan Tien corresponds to the conscious mind of the heart. The Lower Tan Tien corresponds to the feeling and awareness mind. The concept of having multiple brains in the body may seem incredible or farfetched to some. However, my own experience while participating in scientific research as well as information revealed through recent scientific studies combine to make this aspect of Cosmic Healing plausible, accessible, and practical (Grandmaster Mantak Chia).

TAN TIEN ENERGY Energy in the body can be generated, stored, and transformed by the brain, the sexual organs, and other body organs. However, each of these energy processors is limited in function in some way. The brain, for example, can access and generate energy, but storing energy in the brain is not easy. In the Taoist system, we learn to train the brain to increase its ability and capacity to store energy. The brain energy, when increased to a certain level, can enable more synapses to grow in the central nervous system and can help turn protein into brain and nerve cells. The organs of the body have a greater capacity than the brain for storing and transforming energy, but their ability to generate energy is limited. The sexual organs, on the other hand, can generate a significant amount of sexual energy (life force). However, the sexual organs cannot store the energy efficiently. When they generate too much energy, considerable amounts have to be discarded. It is like preparing food for one hundred people when only one person is eating. And this “creative” food is the best energy a human has. As reservoirs of energy in the body, the Tan Tiens bring balance to the body’s energy cycle. There are three: the Upper Tan Tien, the Middle Tan Tien, and the Lower Tan Tien. Each Tan Tien is a place where we can store, transform, and collect energy. The Three Tan Tiens feed energy to the meridians, the rivers of energy that flow through the body. The Middle Tan Tien, also known as the Heart Center Tan Tien, is located between the two nipples. It is associated with the fire element. Yet within fire there is always water. The original spirit (Shen) is stored here.

The Lower Tan Tien is in the lower abdomen, at the navel. It is like an empty universe or ocean, and we want to feel a universe of energy here. Within this universe or ocean, there is fire under water, like a volcano under the ocean. The aim of Taoist basic training is to integrate the brain, the sexual organs, the other organs of the body, and the Three Tan Tiens into one system. If the brain generates too much energy, it can store the energy in the organs. If the sexual organs generate excess sexual energy, it can be stored in the organs and the Three Tan Tiens. Without this integration, we waste energy at an alarming rate. Energy is like money. If you make a million dollars a year and spend a million dollars a year, you have nothing left to use in the future. This is the way we live and use energy in our society. We are spending more energy than we are saving, and we are living on borrowed energy, paying very high interest. Our credit will run out very soon. Some healing practices deal only with the spirit and ignore the body and sexual energy. These practices can generate a lot of energy, but if the practitioner is not connected to the organs, that energy cannot be stored anywhere and is lost. Some people practice meditation by sitting quietly, emptying the mind, and relaxing the whole body. However, very little energy is actually generated in this type of practice. Some who get deep into this type of practice find it hard to come back to society, because they have no energy and their mind power does not work well. These people have to depend on others to support them.

THREE MINDS INTO ONE: YI POWER 1. Smile into your heart. Make it feel soft. Make it feel love, joy, happiness, and compassion. Feel the heart energy spiral, 2. Spiral the energy in the upper mind. Lower your upper mind down to the Lower Tan Tien in your navel area. 3. Turn the consciousness in your heart, activated by your love and softness, down to the Lower Tan Tien. 4. With the feeling and awareness mind, spiral together the energy of the three minds, blending them together as one in the Lower Tan Tien.

As you can see, everything is connected. Everything modality has a commonality. All four corners of this planet Earth, learnt the same things at the same time, but interpreted it differently.

Once Humanity understands we are all One and the same, with tons of abilities within us waiting to be tapped in to, then, and only then will this world become a better place.

I am ready for divine, positive changes to come in. Are you?

We are the World. Give in your heart and you will see that someone cares‘ Cause you know that they can feed them all. Then I read the paper and it said that you’ve been denied. And it shows the second we will call. We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let’s start giving There’s a chance we’re taking. We’re taking our own lives. It's true we’ll make a brighter day Just you and me Now there’s a time when we must love them all. And it seems that life, it don’t make love at all. But if you’d been there, and I’ll love you more and more. It seems in life, I didn’t do that … Michael Jackson
