COSMIC FUSION: The Inner Alchemy of the Eight Forces Ref: B2F16

Mantak Chia

Cosmic Fusion is an advanced level of Inner Alchemy that teaches how to bring the physical body into balance with the energy body - a necessary prerequisite for the formation of the universal body, the pearl of compassion that is one with Original Creation and the Universal Tao. Cosmic Fusion works with the expression of the eight pakua (bagwa) of Chinese cosmology, through which all creation is divided and given form, nature, and definition. Cosmic Fusion exercises establish the spiritual body firmly in the lower abdomen, where chi energy is gathered and distributed to all parts of the body - and into all creation. The fully illustrated exercises in this book also show how to collect and channel the greater energies of the stars and planets. By “fusing” all these different energies together, a harmonious whole is created, a unity of what is above and below. As heavenly and earthly forces are brought into balance, the life perfectly suited to the practitioner manifests, allowing the spirit body to prepare to move into worlds beyond - and back.

TAOIST ASTRAL HEALING: Chi Kung Healing Practices Using Star & Planet Energies Ref: B2A63

Mantak Chia & Dirk Oellibrandt

Taoist Astral Healing provides a step-by-step programme for refining our ability to cultivate, circulate and retain chi from the stars and planets. Whilst the initial focus of Taoism centres on creating physical health that is deeply rooted in the energies provided by the earth, individuals also require energies from the stars and planets to continue to grow in awareness and to develop their full soul potential. Harnessing the energies of the stars and planets allows us to break through the cycles of attraction and addiction, create longevity and transform the physical and energy body into a 'light body' in order to heal ourselves and others. Taoist Astral Healing teaches us how to connect the body with the five elemental forces of nature, as well as the moon, sun, planets, stars, galaxies and other celestial phenomena. Noting the relationships between specific constellations and points on the body, such as the Big Dipper's correspondence to the bones of the skull, the authors offer planetary and stellar meditations that allow the inner and outer universes to become more connected. Following the numerous meditations and techniques provided throughout the book, readers develop a personal practice based on an understanding of their planetary strengths and weaknesses and their own spiritual growth.
