HI
I wanted to keep on articles on taoism. So these following are other tips. Help to know which feast we are or which month can be done with the chinese calendar application or bazi ones.
We are right now in DRAGON period time and soon will be in snake where the feast spring begins starts on may 5th. The 18 days before the beginning of a season is the time of earth which is therefore in this case april 17,
As said in 4 seasons we face the prime or if you prefer the cardinal direction which is the main and most powerful direction of a season . We visualise the color of the element in air coming inside us. In fact it looks like bardon invocation. And that is the way I appply it but with the source of energy of the color in front of me and the flow coming to me from it.
The teacher didn’t say to restrain us in dragon/boar/dog time to work with earth. But his emphasis was to use the peak time, and the strongest time of earth is lamb. So my guess is that both can be done , your choice, wood and/or earth training. But for food principles follow earth.
Still I wonder why the emphasis on the storage room (yin organ) of the elements to place the flow and not the yang one. My guess it depends the need , yang imply expelling good and bad, yin imply keeping what we receive.
Now remember the ideal is that all associations are combined ,the more the better, but in fact It is the intent that really matters. Not having a compass, I would use the bardon way (the force all around me with a space between body and it). But in this new age, you can dowload a compass on you cellular. Note that the precision will vary of a few degrees with the real magnetic one. Being fancy in this case will not change anything but for feng shui yes (void lines)
Before I forget, he uses also mudras : he places the thumb at the correspond terrestrial branches on the hand. We use le left hand in divination, we place a terrestrial branch at each joints fingers ans place them clockwise starting with rat is on the bottom annular one (wedding ring finger). So rabbit will be on 2nd line index, horse tip major, etc.. In this case, right tumb will be same place. chosen. He said we can change the place of the thumb with the 24 feast also but in general meditation he was using others types of mudras .…. You do understand here it is a prop and not mandatory.
WOOD
Breath more is considered death (foetus breath is said to be the real one, not the one when a baby is born ) so inhale more and exhale less
training :
To clean use the sound. Mantak chia, tien tao chi kung, si fu and others have movement that goes with the sound with a few variants. The concept is that the motion work on meridians and it will help to expell dull dirty corresponding color or the grey inside the yin organ which imply teh opposite, an increase in brightness / shining color. But expelling something may by nature expell a little good energies with it.
So after we do teh cleaning we charge and replenish. In your liver is a virgin little girl (mantak chia said could be a boy also) clothed in green , you face east, there is away in front of you an infinite wall of green energy and in front a huge green dragon facing it, he then turn to face you and start sending by his nouth the green air of the wall that you inhale by your nose, the virgin in your liver open its mouth and take it . He/she Close his mouth to keep the energy, then as you hold the brigthens in the color shine in your organ (kid is the source as a lamb ). you exhale but all brigthness stay there. No intention in the exhale.
Unsaid by my teacher, I like to vary the type of breathing : skin breathing, aura breathing, . When you think about it we coulf use bardon way with the organ. Just remember it doesn't means necessarily the organ itself but the chakras in it that is filled with energy, in one word you put water inside the vase not ins the vase itself.
Comments:
Is it necessary to use theses images ? Nope. But remember that theses practises has kept going since mote than 2000 years It implies logicly that thoughtforms have been created willingly or not, of theses coresponding shapes with a specific intent. You prefer using thoughforms for help or having direct contact is your choice and depends of your skill.
Since the 5 chinese elements are also the 5 visible planets (moon and sun not included), may be there is a tie to their corresponding chakras, even if chakras is more hindu stuff. And like the flow in us of chi in meridian, they will be a best possible timing for nadis and chakras training based on elements . If you understand what I am saying, you will conclude correclty that in the microcosmic orbit training at different hour imply a different point or to be more precise zone of attention that it is best to use (north, rat is perineum).
OF course for us, we use constantly western astrology with the planets corresponding to chakras. We use it to determine the best chance of training (the hour, day, solar month,etc…) to gain something (goal, empowerment and use chakras, etc…). And there is in vedic astrology timing for the elements . The difference with western is spirit is called akasha. will following the element horary increase the results in element magic ? I haven’t try it yet. You can dowload application astrologic vedic to trace it. The golden dawn one (2 variants), seems to be an invention or interpretation of hindu text and do not correspond to that horary.
By the way I didn’t last time comment on last commentaries.. Magic definition can be resume at using knowledge and training to obtain a specific goal. There is not much details for the use of elements in western magic (we have a little on our site). But lets say you are in winter and it is cold, invoking fire will warm you up. It is so hot outside in summer, invoke/evoke water to cool yourself. You want to manifest something ? Use earth (contraction), quite useful when you punch a punching bag. You wanna move away something, use air (motion,separation).
Teacher used also fire to burn illness at their start. I did years ago it all night the first day when covid was confirmed. Everyone was ill like hell and vacinated except me. The next day I was correct, no fever, fully functional and teleworking, no consequences. Coincidence or training, no idea ?
Asiatic people DO use their version of elemental magic too. But mainly to heal, and empower themselves in chi kung. You will find a lot of resistance when you wanna talk about using it for martial arts. But hung gar, choy gar do use elements in striking (sounds and images). But the asiatic way of teaching is special. Outsiders got ideas which means 1% knowledge, outer circle (majority students) got 20%, inner circle got 40% and the chosen one got only 80%. By the way that chinese concept to wait the chosen one is the worst case scenario for humanity. Imagine you are wainting the chosen one all your life to teach him in the little time left of your life 80%. Si kung, the chosen one learned had 2 years before his tai chi master died.
From the original knowledge 100% has become 80%, if the chosen one fail to cath up to 100% then the next chosen one will have 80% of 80 etc… At final , all knowledge is lost forever. Think about a school teaching just 1+1 = 2, and saying to the whole class nothing else, to the inner circle of the calss you say , you say also 1+2 =3 and to the chosen one you teach 80% of the table of adding numbers up to 8. Will he figure out the rest ? Yes The reason repeated is wrong knowledge in bad man is too dangerous. But do they understand even if you have a recipe for cooking , even if yousucceed to have the right ingredients, you may fail to do some eatable meal. Blowing a candle all your life with a fist will it really make your fist so powerful to damage internal organs even if you learn the missing key behind it ? I doubt that a lot. And even if you succeed after 20 years of hard constant training, will you be able to use it in real fight when necessary ? Was it useful fo the community or your family the time spend in it ?
To finish, Elemental magic is used also in association in chinese astrology (best time to act) , find the best direction (what forces is there to use) , find the best location (feng shui,/ fong seuil for a fixe local) and divination. But as much as I have seen there is no group doing or sharing talismanic magic (taoist, buddhist…), or even training like ours.. But they do as westerners use a type of invocation (eg. indirect or misundertstood activating a direction) using their own system and knowledge to change things at their advantage . It seems more intellectual because of the corruption and destruction of our past., the killing of masters, the burning/ hiding of forbidden books/knowledge, and their way of transmission of knowledge.
