Opening the Three Tan Tiens to the Six Directions

Opening the Three Tan Tiens to the Six Directions is a Chi. Kung
mediiation that strengthens oúr connection to the Universe,
opening us up to the primordial force of the Cosmos and the
energy within Nature. We are dynamically connected to the
infinite and infinitesimal. "As above, so below", is an echo óf
wisdom heard from sages and mystics through the ages. When
we can connect to and absorb the energy that surrounds us, we
are able to tap into the many splendors of the Universe.

We exist because of the unique combination of the fçrces that

are around and within us. The two main forces are electricity
and magnetism. Bio-electromagnetisni is the Western term for
life force, and what the Tao refers to as Chi. For the last 5,000
years the Taoists have utilized this bio-elèctromagnetic energy
to enhance their way of life and establish a relationship with thè
Universe. As we align ourselves with these forces, we become a
conduit through which we can absorb and digest these energies
through the body, mind, and spirit establishing a direct,
connection with the Universe. The Taoists recognized this
'connection, and created the Chi Kung form of Opening the Three
Tan Tiens to the Six Directions to enhance. our relationship to
and our understanding of this connection.

green leafy vegetables. These have taken sunlight directly into their
cells. Ratherthan wait until the energy in the Universe is processed
through plants, the Taoist goes directly to the source of this primor-
dial energy. Through Chi Kung and meditation the Taoist digests the
energy of the Universe directly. Opening the Three Tan Tiens is a
Chi Kung meditation exercise that focuses on how to directly tap
into the source of energy ali around us.
The Tao views human beings as lamps filled with fuel. Many people
burn this fuel at a very high intensity, without ever taking time to
replenish the oil in the lamp. Drinking, drugs, smoking, and promis-
cuity ali quicken the depletion of this fuel. The Taoist exercises strive
to continually refill the fuel and energy within. The Tao recognizes
that we are limited in our nature as human beings, but we can be-
come unlimited when we connect the sources of energy within the
Universe. So, within the limitations of our human nature, we con-
stantly fill ourselves with the unlimited abundance of energy around
us.
Through their internai quest, the Taoists discovered a doorway
to the Universe. The more we open our internai energy, the more we
are capable of connecting to the forces of energy around us.
Human beings have amazing potential and capabilities. We are
unique creatures in the way we use our minds and hands. Look at
the world around you: the skyscrapers, the architecture, computers,
technology, and the myriad creations of man. Ali have come about
through the combination of the mind with the hands. In the Tao prac-
tice, we use the mind and the hands, in both Chi Kung and medita-
tion, to connect to the forces of the Universe. We use the mind to
project a pattern of energy into the Universe, to connect to the force,
and to bring this energy back into the body.
The mind can travei millions of light years in a few moments.
Taoists discovered the unlimited potential of the human mind. If you
picture something in your mind, an ocean, a sunset, or a mountain.
you automatically connect with that image. The mind can take you
anywhere you can imagine. With the proper training you can con-
nect to the energy of Nature and the Universe and project your Chi

to combine with it, and draw these forces into the body. The hands
are called the touching force, and like antennae they can transmit
the frequencies and vibrations from space. With the mind and the
hands, each of us can journey into the boundless energy of the
Universe.
Relaxation, Letting Go, Surrender and Ego
In some religions and spiritual paths, there is a great emphasis on
surrender and letting go. This is actually a form of relaxation, Taoist
practices emphasize relaxation, letting go, and emptiness. When a
person is relaxed, the muscles are open, the breathing is soft, and
the energy can flow through the channels of the body. There is no
resistance and no fighting. This allows the creative and higherforces
to flow into us.
Most religions have a similar process. To contact the higher self
and the higher forces, one needs to let go and surrender in order
reach the levei where one can be in contact with the higher forces.
Through the surrender of control, one opens up and comes in touch
with the force. However, if you continue to surrender and let go, you
wilt lose the energy you have sent out. In the long term, this will
gradually drain you. The force will suck the energy out of you, rather
than helping you to bring the energy into yourself. To avoid this, at
the moment that one is in touch with the higher forces, one again
becomes aware of oneself, and his or her own energy. One is then
able to project his or her own thoughts, intentions and patterns into
the force, integrating the outer force with your own force. This will
cause one's force to double or triple. You can bring this force back
to your place, your house, and into yourself.
One must remain open and empty while using one's intentions,
mind, and Chi to draw the energy into oneself. What might be a
paradox disappears as one does the practice and learns how to be
empty and open, and to simultaneously retain enough conscious-
ness to draw the force into oneself.
 Mind, Organs and Sexual Organs
It seems that some people are disconnected from themselves and
from their sexual organs. The mind and organs are separate. Tao-
ism believes that the mind, body and spirit must work together. The
results depend on a person's practice.
A. Sexual Organs
The Tao discovered that the sexual organs are the only organs that
can generate a significant amount of sexual energy (life force). How-
ever, the sexual organs cannot store the energy efficiently. When
too much energy is generated, considerable energy hasto be dumped
out. And this is the best energy that one has.
B. Brain
The brain can access and generate the higher forces, but storing
this energy in the brain is not easy. We need to train the brain to
increase its ability and capacity to store energy. The brain energy,
when increased to a certain levei, can enable more synapses to
grow, and can help turn protein into brain cells. The Tao believes
that with training and practice, one can leam to grow more brain and
nerve cells, as well as increase the number of synapses in the cen-
tral nervous system.
C. Organs of the Body
The organs can also generate energy, but much less than the sexual
organs and the brain. Yet these organs have a much greater capac-
ity to store and transform energy.
4
D. Three Tan Tiens
The three Tan Tiens also can store energy, transform it, and supply
it to the brain, spinal cord, sexual organs, and other organs.
The aim of Taoist basic training is to integrate the brain, sexual
organs, and other organs into one system. If the brain generates too
much energy, it can store the energy in the organs. The excess
sexual energy can also be stored in the organ and the three Tan
Tiens. If the brain generates too much of the higher forces and we
are unable to store this energy, we have to throw it away. It is like
preparing food for one hundred people, and only one person is eat-
ing. The rest gets thrown away. In the same way, when too much
sexual energy is produced and there is no place to store it, it is
wasted. We do not have enough of this energy to waste it. We have
a limited amount of energy and time.
Some practices just deal with the spirit and ignore the body and
the sexual energy.
These practices can generate a lot of energy, but when one is
not connected to the organs, the energy cannot be stored. One will
end up draining oneself.
Some people practice sitting quietly, emptying the mind, with the
whole body relaxed and calm, but very little energy is generated.
When one gets deep into the practice. some people 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 supportthem.
In the Universal Tao. We are learning to create a sacred and holy
temple within ourselves. With the simple practice of smiling to ali the
organs, we can integrate our bodies, minds, and spirits. They are no
longer separate. The sexual practice connects the mind with the
sexual organs and the brain. The separation between these parts of
ourselves is bridged.
The Taoist practice provides us with the resources to extend be-
yond the realm of our senses. By tapping into our internai resources
and channeling the energy around us, we can perceive much more
than the senses normally report to the mind. We want to extend our
perception from the limited perspective of the senses to the unlim-
ited awareness of the Universe. For example, our senses tell us that
the earth is flat, that we are stationary, and that heaven is above us.
In reality, the earth is a sphere hurtling through space at thousands
of miles per hour, and the heavens are above, below, and beyond
the earth in every direction. The goal of the Three Tan Tiens is to
connect with the forces from the six directions - above, below, left,
right, front, and back - and draw ali these forces into the body. Even-
tually, with practice, one can draw upon ali kinds of energy and use
them as needed, thereby giving form to the formless energy that is
abundant in Nature.
Opening the Three Tan Tiens
Opening the Three Tan Tien to the Six Directions is one of the many
resources the Taoist practitioner uses to connect with the Universe.
The practice combines the powers of the mind with the strength of
Chi. This combination allows our personal consciousness to directly
connect to the patterns and matrixes of energy in the Universe. When
we put our thoughts into the pattern of the Universe, we transform
the electromagnetic energy into a force that is accessible to us. The
combination of mind power and energy is what allows us to estab-
lish a relationship to these creative forces and the high sources of
energy.
Three Tan Tiens
Once we make the connection with the forces of energy in the Uni-
verse, we want to be able to store this energy in the body. Energy is
like money; if you are making a million dollars a year and spend a
million dollars, you have nothing left to use in the future. That is the
way we live and use our energy in our society. We are spending
more energy than we are saving and we are living on borrowed
energy, paying very heavy interest. Our credit will run out very soon.
6 7
In the Tao practice, we store energy in the Three Tan Tiens. The
Three Tan Tiens are the reservoirs of energy within us.
1. The lower abdómen at the navel and the lower navel, is like an
ocean. We want to feel an ocean of energy in the Lower Tan Tien.
Within this ocean, there is a fire, like a volcano under the ocean.
2. The heart center Tan Tien, between the two nipples, is the
Middle Tan Tien. It is associated with the fire element. Yet, within fire
there is always water. The original spirit (Shen) is stored here.
3. The Upper Tan Tien is in the brain (the crystal room, third
ventricle room), and when it is full of energy, the capacity of the
brain increases. We store ourspiritual intelligence, the mind there.
Ali the Tan Tiens have both Yin and Yang within them. In nature,
the Yin and Yang are present in ali things. Day (Yang) turns into the
sunset, which turns to night (Yin). It is very important to feel the
qualities of Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin. One quality does
not exist without the other. They are inseparable qualities of the
same force.
The Three Tan Tiens refer to the three reservoirs of energy within
the body. These reservoirs are places where we can store, trans-
form, and collect energy. The reservoirs are the source of energy
that flows through the body. The meridians are rivers of energy fed
by these reservoirs. The goal of opening the Three Tan Tiens is to
continually fill and replenish the energy of the Three Tan Tiens.
When we are connected to the Tao life ceases to be a struggle.
Through the observation of Nature, the Taoists leamed to flow with
the stream of energy and connect to forces in the Universe.
In these practices, we use a variety of hand movements and
body postures to open to the energy around us. We draw the en-
ergy from the Six Directions into the body, activate the three fires,
open the Three Tan Tiens, and circulate this energy in the Micro-
cosmicOrbit.
 Practice
Warm-up Exercises
A. Rotating the Sacrum
Rotating the sacrum is an excellent exercise to open the low back
and activate the spinal cord. Place one hand over the sacrum and
the other over the pubic bone. Rotate the sacrum in a circle, 36
times in each direction. This movement activates the sacral pump.
B. Spinal Cord Breathing
Inhale and expand the chest, arms bent at the elbows and extended
to the sides of the body. Exhale, tuck the tailbone under you and
round your back, bringing the elbows toward one another in front of
the chest. Inhale, expand the chest, tuck the chin in toward the throat,
push the chin back and raise the crown and bring the arms out to
the sides. Repeat this back and forth movement 36 times. This move-
ment activates the cranial and sacral pumps, and loosens ali the
joints in the spine.
C. Shaking
Shake the whole body loose, especially the joints, by bouncing up
and down on the heels. Let ali the joints open and relax. Also, shake
the testicles/breasts loose. This will open the sexual energy (Yin
electricity).
The Yin and Yang are the negative and positive electric forces in
the Universe. The heart produces impulses (Yang electricity), and
the adrenal glands produce the adrenal hormone to stimulate the
heart to beat. Of ali the hormones, this is the one that secretes the
chemicals that give the life force to our life.
When we concentrate on the sexual organs, the heart, and the
mind, the Yin and the Yang electricity combine.
8 9
True Breathing - Skin Breathing
We exist because of the physical food and the unique combination
of forces that surround us. The daily requirement of calories is about
6,000 units, while we only get 2,000 calories from food. The other
4,000 calories come from the forces around, above and below us.
These forces that surround us are electricity, magnetism, cosmic
particle energy light, sound, and heat. If we don't know how to ab-
sorb and transform this cosmic food, we need lo depend on others
to supply us. We then need to ask a priest, monk, or holy man or
woman to give us our daily spiritual food.
The Taoists discovered that we can learn to absorb these sur-
rounding and universal energies (daily food) through the skin and
the major energy centers. Absorbing energy through the skin is called
the True Breath. This powerful energetictechnique requires the In-
ner Smile and relaxation. The more one can relax, the more the
body and the skin can open to the energy around us. The practice
allows one to extend the mind, to touch the force, and to draw that
energy back into the body.
1. Stand with the feet together. Feel the connection to the Earth
through the soles of the feet. Project your mind to the end of the
universe, and extend your Chi (aura) into the Earth. Continue ex-
tending your mind power and Chi until you feel the connection to the
infinite space beyond the Earth.
2. Be aware of and smile down to the organs and the lower Tan
Tien. Picture it as an ocean. The waves of the ocean are moving
you forward and backward. Rock until you feel your body relax and
expand, until you become so big that your feet touch the earth and
your hands and head touch the heavens. Imagine your upper body
as a piece of bamboo, hollow in the middle and moving with the
wind, as your head lightly nods.
 3. Peei respect and humility to the outside and physical world,
while your inner world is calm, relaxed, and peaceful.
4. Empty the mind in the Tan Tien, so no thoughts arise. Expand
your awareness to infinity. Connect to the galaxy or the Milky Way.
Bring your mind back to the place where you are, to your body, and
let the Chi harmonize and integrate within you.
5. Be aware of your skin and your hair follicles; picture them as
leaves, each one breathing.
6. When you inhale lightly, contractthe prostate gland/uterus area,
and the anus. This will feel like the skin is sucking energy into the
body. Use more mind powerand intention, and less muscle.
7. When exhaling, exhale through the skin, and feel your aura
expanding into the world around you, to the mountains, lakes, for-
ests, and oceans. Feel in touch with the forces. Smile and feel your
own Chi integrating with the forces, bringing the forces into your
own Chi and mind field. Circle, and let these forces grow in your
own field. Do not surrender to the force and lose yourself. Inhale
lightly. contract the prostate gland/uterus and the anus, draw the
Chi into the place where you are, and then into the room, into your
skin, to the lower Tan Tien. Do this 9 to 18 times.

Activating the Three Fires
Fire Under the S e a
The Taoist regard the Lower Tan Tien the Ocean of Chi, like fire
under the water.
The Three Fires referto the fire energy contained within:
- The lower abdómen, the Tan Tien Fire.
- The Door of Life: the adrenal fire. the kidney fire, the true fire,
the Yang within Yin.
- The heart fire: imperial fire; in the center of the heart there is
one dot of green light, the essence of the heart, the Yin within Yang.
Opening these centers fills the body with energy and life force.
1. Hold the palms down, parallel the ground, lifting up the fingers.
Project your mind down through the earth and pass through outer
space and connect to the galaxy through the center of the palms
(Lao Kun point).
Fig. 9 Hands expand though the earth and to the galaxy below.
19
 2. Move the arms and palms out slightly to the front of the body
(palms still facing down). As the arms move, expand your mind and
feel the connection to the earth and the infinite space or galaxy
below you.
3. Bring your mind back and become aware of the Lower Tan
Tien; don't think or be aware of your palms. At the same time, gently
pull the hands and arms back toward the body. As the arms move
back, feel the Chi flow through your body and condense into the
Lower Tan Tien. Continue to push out and touch the force and pull it
back to the body 6 to 9 times, expanding your mind, and gathering
Chi from the infinite space into the lower Tan Tien.
4. Lift your arms, and face the palms toward the Lower Tan Tien.
Feel as if you are holding a huge Chi bali on the Lower Tan Tien (the
ocean), feel fire bum under the ocean. Feel the connection between
the fire in the Lower Tan Tien and the fire energy in the Universe.
Feel the warmth spread throughout the entire body.
5. Expand your awareness to the infinite space or the galaxy
behind you. Move your hands to the back and hold a huge Chi fire-
ball on the Door of Life (Ming Men). Picture two fireballs burning
under the ocean, the fire gradually will burn up to the brain to charge
the brain. Within Yin there is Yang. Yin is stored in the kidneys and
the adrenal glands.
6. Feel the Chi bali pulsing and breathing, drawing energy into
the body from the infinite space behind you.
7. Lift the hands, palms up, to the sides of the body under the
armpits. Feel your fingers and Chi from the fingers extending into
your chest, igniting the fire in the heart center (the storehouse of the
Original Spirit).
8. Allow the Heart Center to open, pulsing and breathing with
Chi. Picture a dot of green and yellow light in the middle of the heart
center. In the Imperial Fire there is Yin within Yang.
9. Feel ali Three Fires activated and resonating together: the
Lower Tan Tien, the Door of Life, and the Heart Center.

20
 1. Gradually move your palms face up toward both sides, slowly
turn the palms toward the face. Let the middle fingers be like Chi
hooks pointed toward the mideyebrow point. Project your mind into
space, picture the sky open and the mideyebrow point open at the
same time as the hands and the fingers pull to both sides. Light
shines into the brain, into the third ventricle room. Do this three to
six times.
Fig. 11 Activating the Third Eye.
22
2. Gradually let the palms face out and feel them extend to touch
space and connect with the galaxy. Inhale, flatten the stomach, pull
up the perineum, bring your mind back and draw the energy to the
Tan Tien. Exhale and extend again to the galaxy. Repeat several
times, pushing and pulling the energy.
3. Gradually move your palms toward both sides and feel your
palms moving along the horizon, connecting lo the Chi in the uni-
verse and feel them touching the left and right horizon. Inhale, flat-
ten the stomach, pull up the perineum, bring your mind back and
draw the energy to the Tan Tien. Exhale, extend again to the left and
right horizon. Repeat several times; push and pull.
Fig. 12 Touch the Universe Left and Right.
23
 4. Turn the palms and move your arms above the crown. Ex-
pand your mind, sending out love and compassion, connecting with
the Universe or galaxy above you. Use your mind and Chi together
to give the Universal energy a partem to grow and spiral the force
down into your own Chi field. This enables the energy of the Uni-
verse to become your own energy. Scoop up the energy and hold a
huge Chi bali between your hands. Turn the palms over to face the
top of the head, and pour the Chi from the Universe down onto the
crown.
Fig. 13 Raise the hands above the Crown and feel them extend up to Heaven.
24
5. Picture yourself as an empty vessel, filling with the Chi with
the infinite space above you. Press your tongue to the palate, and
lightly squeeze the perineum (prostate gland/uterus and anus) clos-
ing the sexual center, so the universal Chi will not leak out.
6. Concentrate on the soles of the feet; feel the tingling and numb-
ness from the crown flow down through the body. Don't hold your
mind in one place too long. This will cause congestion and over-
heating. Chi must circulate so that ali the cells of the body can ab-
sorb the energy from the Universe. Let go of the excess energy.
Allow any extra energy to flow out through the soles of the feet down
to the earth.
Fig. 14 Feel the Universe is Spiraling and charging the Three Tan Tiens.
25
 11. Move the fingers across the head the top of the ears. Picture
your fingers like lasers, penetrating the Upper Tan Tien, the crystal
room.
12. Gently slide the fingers from the top of the ears to the base of
the skull (Jade Pillow). Concentrate on the mideyebrow point and
again feel the Chi penetrate the crystal room, the open spaces, and
the mideyebrow point
13. Picture your fingers like laser beams, penetrating the brain.
Move the hands back across the top of the ears and return them to
the mideyebrow point.

Fig. 15 Touch the Crown and Focus on the Perineum.

7. Feel the Chi opening the Upper Tan Tien in the center of the
head (the crystal room, the third ventricle room).
8. Gently bring the hands down, touching the back of the crown.
Feel the Chi and fingers extend ali the way down to the coccyx, and
feel numbness and tingling in the spine.
9. Gently move the fingers to the middle crown. Feel the Chi and
fingers extend ali the way down to the perineum, and feel numb-
ness and tingling and a dot of light at the perineum (the Yang within
Yin).
10. Move the fingers down to the mideyebrow point. Touch the
mideyebrow point and focus on the base of the skull. Feel the Chi Fig. 16 Move the fingers to the top of the ears. Feel the fingers growing
from the fingers being absorbed into the brain, moving right through longer and cutting the skull. Touch, and feel the Upper Tan Tien open.

 14. Slowly move the fingers down to the bridge of the nose. Chi
fills the sinuses and opens your nostrils, stopping at the upper lip.
Put your tongue in the water position (ali the way back). Press and
relax your tongue a few times, and smile to the tip of the tongue and
the palate. Feel the Chi pour down from the crown, through the nose
and the palate to the tongue. Feel electricity vibrating in the upper
palate and tongue.
15. Move the fingers down past the throat to the Heart Center.
16. The fingers should touch the Heart Center. Concentrate on
the back of the heart. Feel the Chi from the hands penetrate the
Middle Tan Tien. Feel the Chi go through the heart and open the
point opposite the heart on the back (T-5).
17. Glide both hands across the chest to the points under the
armpits. Feel the Chi extend into the heart.
