Chi Cards – Level IV

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.

Tao Yin:
Theory: This is the Universal Healing Tao Tao Yin practice for growing the tendons in the body with breathing techniques (Poetry in Motion) in Tao Yin postures as opposed to stretching the tendons as in yoga for flexibility. By growing the tendons you give the body the space to move while building and strengthening the tendons instead of stretching the tendons out creating a situation where the body could lose its strength and power. You might gain flexibility but you could become too loose and lose your structure, support and intensity, which are vital for your health and longevity.
Concept: With the Tao Yin breathing technique you are initially directing the energy (Dark Energy Out – Bright Energy In) to various areas (Abdomen (Upper & Lower), Groin, Sacrum, Chi Belt, Kidneys, Diaphragm, Lungs (Lower & Upper), Scapula, Neck, Temple, Crown & Whole Body) of the body in a laying down posture to start the tendon growing process. Then you go through a series of postures: (Knee to Chest, Knees to Chest, Elbows Outward, Bridge to C7, Bridge to Crown, Bow, Tiger Stretch, Rise Spine to T4, Peacock’s Tail, Heel to Groin, Bamboo Swinging in the Wind, Cross Legs, Palms over Head, Shooting the Arrow, Cobra & Bouncing Knees); you focus on the psoas and sphincter muscles and joint tendons growing them with each breath. You move through each posture breathing out the dark energy and breathing in the bright energy as you gently lower, rise, twist and turn each vertebrae of the spine opening the joints.
Purpose: By focusing the breath on each tendon of the joints through the postures you begin to grow the tendons with a subtle healing energy using your Yi, the Mind-Eye-Heart Power. As the tendons subtly and gently grow, your body gradually opens up; this goes beyond flexibility as your body becomes buoyant with effortless movement because your tendons are stronger, detoxified, healthier and firmer without any stress or effort as you simply breathe in and breathe out directing the energy.

Tan Tien Chi Kung:
Theory: With the Tan Tien Chi Kung formulas of the Universal Healing Tao you are activating the Chi (Air) Pressure in your Lower Tan Tien (Original Chi Area) with the Empty Force (Exhaling all Air out of the Body) and Perineum Power (Anus Area) of the Dragon (Inhale: High-Pitched Hummmm Sound) and Tiger (Exhale: Low-Pitched, Growling Hummmm Sound) Breaths in the Eleven Animal Postures (Rabbit, Crane, Bear, Swallow, Dragon, Eagle, Monkey, Elephant, Rhinoceros, Horse & Bull).
Concept: By activating the Empty Force and Perineum Power with the Dragon and Tiger Breaths you are creating Chi Pressure in the body.  When we get older we lose air pressure and we slowly deflate just as a tire loses air on a car.  As you see very old people they look like a deflated balloon all crippled over with no bounce or buoyancy.  The years of wear and tear and gravity on the body cause leakages in the body and we slowly lose our air pressure which gives our bodies form, structure and constitution that we need for our vitality and bounce to live our lives with zest and joy.
Purpose: By doing the Tan Tien Chi Kung formulas we build and maintain the air pressure in our bodies on a daily basis with the Empty Force and Perineum Power techniques while sealing and healing any leaks and openings of our bodies with Eleven Animal Postures’ movements and intentions to restructure and fortify our bodies for the maintenance of our health and longevity with joy and vitality.

Simple Chi Kung:
Theory: The Simple Chi Kung formulas of the Universal Healing Tao awaken the body’s organs and joints for your daily meditation and Chi Kung practices while you are lying in bed to activate your morning bowel movement and opening your body up for your daily activities.  Once you get up and relieve and clean yourself you can start in a standing position to open the rest of your body’s joints with the Simple Chi Kung formulas (Bouncing, Foot & Hand Kicking, Knee, Hip & Sacrum Rotations, Waist Loosening, Crane & Turtle, Spinal Cord Breathing, Empty Force, Side Twisting, Windmill, Eye Exercises, Neck, Shoulder, Wrist & Hand Stretching, Palm Slapping, Door of Life Opening, Elephant Trunk Swing, Squatting, Teeth Tapping, Chi Self Massage, Bone Breathing & Laughing Chi Kung).
Concept: The reason we call these techniques Simple Chi Kung is they are simple movements that anyone can do to release any stress or tensions in the body so you can proceed with your series of Universal Healing Tao practices depending on what level you are at for your self-discovery, your family activities and your life’s work.
Purpose: Simple Chi Kung formulas open up your stiff joints after a deep sleep releasing any tensions (Stagnant Chi) as well as lowering your blood pressure, activating your bone marrow, blood circulation, immune, respiratory & digestive systems and relaxing your nerves, thoughts and any emotional imbalances. These simple movements start the cultivating, circulating, clearing, exchanging, transforming and storing processes in your body as you begin your day; throughout your day if you feel you have any blockages, stiffness, tension or discomfort you just simply smile down and do any of the Simple Chi Kung techniques for relief to that particular part of the body.

Cosmic Detox:
Theory: In our modern world we live (awake & sleeping) in unnatural environments with artificial lighting, commercialized homes, drinking chemically charged water, and eating commercialized foods, which causes severe and fatal conditions in our bodies that are not natural to our body internally. The process starts from birth to our graves as we are exposed to these artificial environments consuming artificial foods, air and water, which block our nine openings (mouth, anus, genitals, two eyes, two ears, two nostrils) and the largest organ (skin) of the body. As we get older the toxins (poisons) continue to multiply causing insurmountable blockages in our bodies if we do not periodically clean them out with systematic techniques to maintain our health and longevity.
Concept: Through the Cosmic Detox formulas (Colonics, Cell, Eye & Rectal Cleanses, Liver, Gall Bladder & Kidney Flushes, Facial Sponge Washing, Sexual & Chi Self-Massages, Nasal Douching, Dry Skin Brushing & Solar Bathing) and proper diet you can begin to release blockages. Without daily and periodic practice or living in natural environment 24 hours a day and 7 days a week the toxins will again build up and further wear out the body which is your temple where you do all your Inner Alchemy practices. 
Purpose: We need to develop a systematic process to clean and clear out the built up toxins in our bodies or we will drown in them. Without unblocked openings in our bodies we will not have complete success with our Inner Alchemy practices because we are dealing with very subtle energy in those practices, which these blockages affect dramatically. With Cosmic Detox formulas this can be accomplished depending on the severity and maintained over our lifetime.

Cosmic Astrology:
Theory: When you take your first breath you breathe in an Internal Energy Pattern of the universe from the Five Earthly Elements (Oceans/Water, Trees/Wood, Sun/Fire, Soil/Earth & Mountain/Metal) and Planets (Mercury/Blue, Jupiter/Green, Mars/Red, Saturn/Yellow & Venus/White) at that particular moment in time and space. This gives you your Physical Internal Energy Pattern related to your Five Vital Organs (Kidneys, Liver, Heart, Spleen/Pancreas & Lungs) for your life’s journey on earth with all of its strengths and weaknesses. Without the knowledge of the your Internal Energy Pattern how are you ever going to balance and transform it unless you know what to transform for your Inner Alchemy process.
Concept:  Through the Cosmic Astrology formulas and charts of the Twelve Chinese Animals (Rat, Buffalo, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog & Boar) and the Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire & Earth) you will be able to find your Animal sign and element for your year, month and time. This will give you the first part of your Internal Energy Pattern and from there you can start to build your understanding of that pattern to create your own persona based on the Cosmos (Stars). Through the book you can build this understanding further from five different perceptions (Western Astrology, Sun & Moons, Chinese/Western Combinations & Birth Day Cards) and the Earthly Branches, Day, Chinese Triad and Secret Allies giving you a complete picture of yourself to balance and transform yourself through the Inner Alchemy practices.
Purpose: With clearer understanding of your persona (cosmic energy patterns which determine your personality) you will discover how you think, react, perceive and relate to everything and everyone in the universe and how they think, react, perceive and relate to you by simply studying the stars from the charts provided in the book. These understandings have been calculated, charted, tested and evaluated for centuries and now you have them for your Inner Alchemy practices.

Tendon Nei Kung (IS II):
Theory:  This is the second level of the Iron Shirt Chi Kung practices dealing directly with the growing, strengthening and maintaining of our tendons for our structure, posture and personal power.  This is the second step in building your Iron Shirt (Temple) to do your Inner Alchemy practices creating the dynamic Spinal Whip Movement, building the Chi Pressure and Tendon Power with your breath from the Earth to Feet to Ankles to Legs (Knees) to Hips (Psoas Muscle) to Spine (5 Lumbars, 12 Thoracics & 7 Cervicals) to Scapulas to Shoulders to Crown to Chin to Chest to Arms to Elbows and extending through the Fingers.
Concept: As you exhale your breath into your Tan Tien, Close your Genitals, Pinch your Elbows and Contract your Heart (Like a Clenching Fist) and at the same time torque your Toes, Heels, Ankles, Legs, Hips, Vertebras, Jade Pillow, Arms and Fingers with the rhythm of the Earth and your Heartbeat then you release (let go) the Air Pressure; as you inhale your Heart expands and your Tendons release your whole body while it effortlessly moves back to its original position by itself.
Purpose: With the Tendon Nei Kung Eight Standing Positions (Head Level/Middle Fingers, Eye Level/Pinkies, Waist Level/Thumbs Up, Waist Level/Back of Hands, Solar Plexus Level/Pinkies, Shoulder Level/ Middle Fingers, Waist Level/Palms Up and Knee Level/Palms Up) you are building your tendons with the Spinal Whip Breath and Clenching Fist technique in each position and additionally in the Partner and Wall Practices as well as the Mung Bean Hitting techniques.

Fusion of the Eight Psychic Channels (III):
Theory:  This is the final section of the Fusion Practice (Fusion III) with Eight Basic formulas (Great Regulator & Bridge Channels, Spinal Cord Cutting, Spinal Cord Microcosmic, Mideyebrow Aura Cutting, Crown Drilling, Five Sense Cutting & Sealing, Heart Center Cutting (Butterfly Motion), & Aura Sealing) and Advanced Fusion III moving all the Basic Fusion Formulas into the Energy and Spirit Bodies. This is a continuation of opening the channels from Fusion II into the Eight Psychic Channels of Fusion III. By opening the Eight Physic Channels your energy will flow effortlessly through the body for balancing, healing and cultivating your internal energy.
Concept: The Eight Psychic Channels start opening up the meridians lines of the body with Yang & Yin Sides of the Regulator and Bridge Channels then opening up the spine front to back, up & down and right to left with Spinal Cord Cutting, Microcosmic and Aura formulas. Once these formulas are completed you move to open up the Crown, Five Senses & Heart with drilling and cutting techniques then sealing any energy leaks and protecting the body with the Final Fusion Formula, Sealing the Aura.
Purpose: With the final Fusion formulas you are completing the Fusion practice building the Compost Machine and Pearl with excess Climate, Sense & Negative Emotional Energy (Fusion I) then running the Pearl through the Functional, Governing, Creative, Thrusting & Belt Channels (Fusion II) and finally through the Eight Physic Channels (Fusion III) and Advanced Fusion (I, II, III) into the Energy and Spirit Bodies. Through transforming your internal energy and clearing and opening your channels you are starting to create your energetic Spaceship for your journey into the Unknown beyond the North Star.
