Chi Cards – Level I

Instruction Card
After studying and working with the Universal Healing Tao ® books I discovered a different way of approaching life. I was fascinated and intrigued by the books’ contents which led me to Universal Healing Tao® Workshops and finally meeting Master Chia. After meeting with Master Chia I began my internal practice in the Universal Healing Tao ® System. Over the years I have discovered many techniques which have helped me in my practices & I am ready to share them with you. First, I discovered the Universal Healing Tao ® System consists of many formulas which have been handed down through the centuries in an instructor-student relationship. The ability of students to master these formulas gives them the opportunity to experience their own self-realization or enlightenment.
Like my fellow students I stumbled for years with these formulas and through my perseverance came to develop, with Master Chia, formulas (Chi Cards) to assist me in my practice. Instead of fumbling through the book, as I once did, you can now simply have a Chi Card available to help you complete the formula and proceed much more smoothly in your practice.
In the Universal Healing Tao ® System we are working with internal and external energy. The word in the Tao for energy is “Chi”, thus the Chi Cards are energy formula cards. Through the Chi Cards you will become aware of your own energy and the energy around you. After discovering your own energy you can use the Chi Cards to help purify, transform, regenerate and transcend your energy, and further discover its relationship to the energy surrounding you.
On the first level of the Universal Healing Tao ® System the Chi Cards consist of thirty (30) formulas based on & corresponding to six (6) Universal Healing Tao ® books: Healing Light, Transform Stress, Chi-Self Massage, Iron Shirt I, Taoist Secrets of Love and Healing Love. There are 20 cards in a packet available through the Universal Healing Tao ® for $10 USD per set. The Chi Cards are the size of playing cards which are easy to read and can be easily carried anywhere you go. So, you can practice anywhere and bring your Chi Cards. The front side of the card is the actual formula written down step by step corresponding with the page numbers of each individual book. On the reverse side there are visual color illustrations of the formulas so you can follow them visually. Now available: Level II (30), Level III (50), Level IV (30), Level V (40) Level VI (40) Formulas from Universal Healing Tao ® Books: Fusion I-II-III, Tai Chi I-II-III, Cosmic Healing I-II, Chi Nei Tsang I-II, Tao Yin, Simple Chi Kung, Cosmic Cleansing, Bone Marrow Nei Kung, Tendon Nei Kung, Karsai Nei Kung, Elixir Chi Kung & Lesser Kan & Li.
This is a very unique and practical way of approaching and working with your practice not only for beginners, but also is an effective teaching aid for certified instructors and practitioners. The Chi Cards will simplify your understanding and practice of the formulas. In the future the Chi Cards will be available in all levels taught by Instructors and Practitioners. You will be able to start with Cosmic Inner Smile Chi Card and carry through to the Sealing of 5 Senses Chi Cards.

Inner Smile:
Theory:The first step in this Inner Alchemy process is to feel the internal energy. The only way to understand the Tao is to feel it inside yourself. You need to feel the internal energy before you can cultivate it. Through the Inner Smile Formula you literally get in touch mentally with your five vital organs and related-organs (Functional Channel – Front Line), digestive tract (Digestive Channel – Middle Line) and your crown and spinal cord (Governor Channel – Back Line) by using your eyes and smiling down each line connecting with each part of your body.  By doing this on a daily basis you will start to develop a personal relationship with yourself on the physical, emotional, mental and energetic (spiritual) levels.
Concept:  By using the autonomic nervous system internally through your eyes with a para-sympathetic (positive) response you create a good feeling of love in your body.  Your heart generates this smiling energy when you focus your eyes into your heart with positive thoughts. When you smile down your body, your body will respond with positive loving energy.  This is how we learn to generate love within ourselves instead taking it from others; the abundance of that love within us will spread to others energetically across time and space without trying to give love to anyone.
Purpose: It is like greeting someone with a hand shake, hug or smile: they will respond the same, except now you do it internally to all your internal body parts and you feel relaxed, calm and at peace.  By doing so you have created the proper internal environment to proceed with the next step in cultivating your internal energy in a systemic pattern.  You always start each following formula with the Inner Smile creating the proper environment for your internal transformation; this is always the first step of your daily practice.

Six Healing Sounds:
Theory: The second step in your Inner Alchemy practice is to cool the energy down which is the last formula you do in your daily practice because when you work with internal energy you create heat. The Universal Healing Tao practice is a safe, practical way to work with your internal energy. Once you learn these first two formulas you can safely add the next two hundred and forty plus formulas of the Universal Healing Tao System.  You start with the Inner Smile and end your daily practice with the Six Healing Sounds. They are also great at bedtime.
Concept: You are driving your car down the street and on your dashboard the red temperature light goes on. If you do not stop the car and check the engine what happens? The car’s engine will explode because it has over heated.  This is the cooling system in your car and it is the same in the human body. When you urinate, defecate, yawn, belch or sweat you release heat, which is a part of the cooling system in your body. The connective tissue (fascia) around your vital organs absorbs the excess heat and releases it through your skin and digestive tract.  If it is blocked through years of improper diet and lack of exercise the vital organs will explode or stop functioning with a heart attack, impaired kidneys or liver attack because your body’s cooling system has broken down and the vital organs have become overheated like the car.
Purpose: The Six Healing Sounds’ formula activates your cooling system on a daily basis by restructuring the connective tissue to function properly around your vital organs; its postures result in cooling them down by releasing the condensed heat with their individual sounds. These organs are vital because without them you cease to function or live.

Chi Self Massage:
Theory: Your body is a series of energy rivers that travel from your vital organs throughout your body to the surface of your skin. These rivers are defined as meridians, acupuncture points, nerve endings or channels that move energy from your vital organs to other parts of your body like the electrical wiring in your house. Through this internal networking these paths can become blocked either from inside the organs or within the networking itself.
Concept: By simply touching the extremities (skin) of your body you can daily connect and open up your vital organs and any blockages within the networking. Simply by touching and massaging your face, neck, chest, hands, arms, legs, and feet you can daily release any stress or tension within your whole system.  You will be able literally to get in touch with your internal vital organs on a daily basis through “touchology” by massage yourself when you feel any tension, which comes from your organs.
Purpose: We live in our unnatural environments with so much stress and tension from simply driving a car, financial responsibilities, over exposure to unnatural light, improper diet, unfit sleeping conditions and lack of exercise; that we need a simple technique to release these built up blockages. By daily applying these Chi Self-Massage formulas after our daily practice (long sitting or standing period) or throughout the day when we feel tension we will open the body and vital organs up thus keeping literally in touch with ourselves.

Healing Light of the Tao (Microcosmic Orbit):
Theory: When we became a fetus in our mother’s womb the connection to our mother was the umbilical cord from her body to our navel and from there we formed our body.  The energy moved from there down to the sacrum up the spine to the crown (Governing Channel), then down the front of the body (Functional Channel) back to the navel.  This is the microcosmic orbit and the energy is still moving or we would not be living; we are just not conscious of it. With this formula we can reconnect ourselves to our physical beginning and become conscious of the internal energy moving in the body. Once we become aware of this movement we can use this flowing energy (light) to heal any internal energy blockage in our body.
Concept: We can become conscious of this movement by tracing it mentally with our mind’s eye from each of the fourteen points of the orbit by the use small sips of air helping our mind to focus on the energy movement up the spine and down the front of the body.  Then by using each point up the spine and its counter point (Navel to Men Ming, Sexual Palace to Sacrum, Perineum to Crown Point, T-11 to Sternum, Wing Point to Heart Center, C-7 to Throat Center and Jade Pillow to Mid-Eye) we can spread the energy across and heal each section of the body with the healing energy (light).
Purpose: After we learn how to feel the internal smiling energy (Inner Smile), cool it down (Six Healing Sounds) and break up any blockages (Chi Self-Massage) then through the Microcosmic Orbit we can feel it move and direct it to heal the body. This is how we learn to move the generated love within ourselves and the abundance of that love within will spread to others energetically across time and space.

Alchemy of Sexual Energy (Microcosmic Orbit 2):
Theory: To further expand your consciousness we can activate the Three Fires (Tan Tien, Kidney and Heart) into the Three Tan Tiens: Upper (Crown) Mind, Middle (Heart) Mind and Lower (Tan Tien) Mind. We go through the Microcosmic Orbit.  This is the Three Minds into One Mind giving you the “I” Power. Once this is complete we are moving the fortified energy in the Six Directions (Up & Down, Left & Right and Front & Back) by opening your awareness into the Cosmos. By activating the Sexual Energy you are balancing and cultivating this Creative Force for internal transformation (Alchemy) utilizing the Six Directions linking to the Cosmos. This will give you a feeling of buoyancy supported by the Six Directions and the experience of being the center of the universe.
Concept:  We will learn how to harness excess sexual energy and transform it into Chi, or life-force energy. When we circulate the sexual energy in the Microcosmic Orbit, a continuous energy loop that runs up the spine and down the front of the body, we transform it into self-healing energy that can be stored in the organs and the Three Tan Tiens: Energy Centers in the Brain, the Heart Center, and the Lower Abdomen. By learning to open the Three Tan Tiens to the Six Directions, the Taoist practitioner combines Mind Power with the extension of Chi to draw cosmic energy into the body. When we learn to flow in this way of the Tao, life ceases to be a struggle.
Purpose: This is a continuation of the Microcosmic Orbit activating the Sexual Energy for additional strength then moving this creative energy through the orbit while extending it down through the legs in the Functional and Governing Channels. Then use the Six Directions formula by activating the Three Tan Tiens and Fires to connect with the Cosmos and further expand your awareness.

Wisdom Chi Kung:
Theory: By moving the vital organ energy to the sections of the brain (Kidneys/Blue Chi to Back Left & Right Sides, Genitals/Pink Chi to Center, Liver/Green Chi to Right Side, Heart/Red Chi to Front Center, Spleen/Yellow Chi to Left Side and Lungs/White Chi to Front Left &Right Sides) using the Color Frequency of each organ you are sending the energy out to the universe.  In the emptiness of the universe you multiply it.  After it multiplies draw it back into the brain. This will charge the brain increasing its thinking power and wisdom by opening it up to Universal Consciousness.
Concept:  When the universe was created eons ago, our collective consciousness manifested a thought and sent it out into the emptiness of the universe. As it hit the emptiness it multiplied forming the universe (Big Bang Theory) like our reflection comes back to us when we look into a mirror.  This is how everything is created; by forming a thought and sending it out into the emptiness.  We do it all the time with manufacturing blueprints (thoughts) but we are just not conscious of it. We are becoming more conscious of this phenomenon today as our computer technology becomes more sophisticated with its solid-state design (No moving parts).
Purpose: When you expand with consciousness by literally expanding your brain energetically into the universe you are strengthening, building and exercising your brain’s thinking capacity beyond your present thinking. Then you are starting to create wisdom which is having the ability to know when to be soft and when to be hard or what to do and what not to do.

Iron Shirt Chi Kung:
Theory: With the correct structural body alignment you can root yourself into the earth creating an energetic grounding effect similar to a grounding wire in an electrical outlet socket. With this alignment any excess energy from the Inner Alchemy practices will ground itself automatically by daily practicing these Iron Shirt Seven Standing postures (Embracing the Tree, Holding the Golden Urn, Golden Turtle Immersing in Water, Buffalo Emerging from the Water, Golden Phoenix Washes Its Feathers, Iron Bridge & Iron Bar).  When you align yourself to earth no one can push you around as is demonstrated through the Iron Shirt pushing techniques and root checking exercises. All you have to do is stand five minutes a day to achieve this over a long period of time.
Concept:  Through the Iron Shirt packing technique while in these postures you will build an Iron Shirt body. When you take an egg and put it into an air filled balloon and place that balloon with the egg and air into another air filled balloon then place it into a third air filled balloon then throw it against the wall will you break the egg? No. The air filled balloons are buffers for the egg. The egg is our vital organ, the air is the Chi pressure (small inhalations) and the balloons are the connective tissue (fascia) around the vital organs.
Purpose:  By simply standing and packing in the Iron Shirt postures 5-10 minutes daily you can root yourself to earth and build a strong body that can live for hundreds of years. When you are rooted no one can push you around physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually (energetically) because they are pushing the earth not you and no one can push the earth around.  Why do you need to live hundred years or more? You need that amount of time do the all of the Universal Healing Tao Inner Alchemy practices for your transformation.

Healing Love:
Theory:  Chicken soup is the theory. What is chicken soup? You take a chicken and put it in a pot of water and boil it for two hours; then take the chicken out. Which would you rather eat the chicken or the broth? The broth is what you would eat because the broth has all the essence of the chicken in it tasting like the chicken and chicken would taste like rubber. Try it. The chicken is your genitals and you cook them with the Healing Love practices and draw their essence (broth) out of them up your spine into your brain for a Total Body Orgasm because the brain is connected to all the parts of your body. You lose none of your sexual fluids (Semen and Hormones), which you need daily to create every cell of the body, and you will have a Total Body Orgasm instead of a genital orgasm (outside the body in men).  These same formulas apply to women for the loss of sexual fluids during their menstrual cycle.
Concept:  You have the ability to completely experience your sexual energy and take it to new highs without losing any of your vital creative energy. You achieve this by cultivating it through the Universal Healing Tao Healing Love practices to heal yourself and your loved one.  Through these practices you will learn and experience the ability to manage your sexual energy instead of it controlling you.
Purpose: In Single Cultivation as you slow down the sexual energy through the practices of Testicle and Ovarian Breathing, Scrotal and Ovarian Compression, Power Lock (Million Dollar Point Technique for male reverse ejaculation) and the Egg Exercise (Exercising the Vagina Canal for Urination and Sexual Fluid Control) you will discover how to manage your sexual energy. In Dual Cultivation you start to understand through the practices of the Orgasmic Big Draw, Total Body Orgasm and the Valley Orgasm (Shallow & Thrusting Techniques). You will learn how to work together with your partner to heal yourselves and flow together in a harmonious, monogamous, long lasting relationship.

Sexual Reflexology:
Theory: Through the Reflexology Points on the body you can activate your Sexual Energy for the women by massaging the Breasts and Ovarian Areas; the men massage the Lower Tan Tien and the Testicles. The orgasmic energy is activated in the Non-Arousal State, which you can utilize easier than in the aroused state to manage and cultivate your Sexual Energy to heal your body.
Concept: In Single Cultivation Sexual Palace Warm Ups women can lessen their menstrual discharge, the length of their cycle and the frequency of their menstrual cycle from once a month to once a year. For the men they can activate their Un-Aroused Orgasmic Energy and move this slower Sexual Energy up their spine so they manage easier.
Purpose: The Sexual Warm Ups get the students in touch literally with their Sexual Energy; in the first step they draw it up into the spine and the crown and start the whole progress of cultivating their Sexual Energy for a practical and enjoyable way of managing it.  As the Taoists say, keep your gun loaded but the powder dry, which means manage the Sexual Energy so you do not lose this Vital Creative Energy (Fluids) and yet still enjoy the complete sexual experience.
