Harmonizing the five elements 1: centering and transforming the negative emotions, with teacher Juan Li

Energy work for self development is divided into three levels: First, clearing the obstacles which appear in our path; second, expanding the potential of the energy system, and third, overcoming fluctuations by stabilizing the levels attained with our practices.

In the trajectory of self development, the most important obstacles we encounter are the negative emotions and the secondary effects they generate in our lives. If we are incapable of establishing a sustained program for transforming the emotions, the second level of energy work of opening potential never takes place properly and at the energy, emotional and mental level continue to fluctuate between good and bad moments.

In this period of intense emotional and mental turmoil, it is essential to cultivate daily, the capacity to remain centered no matter what is taking place in our lives. The calm and integrity developed when we are centered, can be one of the most effective ways of helping others who are going through a difficult period.

Harmonizing the five elements 2: empowering the positive emotions, with teacher Juan Li

In the first level of Harmonizing the Five Elements we work clearing the past, finishing cycles and learning to transform negative emotional states into pure vitality. All the other practices lead us to a state of greater efficiency and sustained balance and under these conditions a positive emotional state manifest more frequently and lasts for longer periods of time.

The positive emotions arise when the organism is vibrating at higher frequencies than usual. Negative states manifest when the energy flow is taking place with difficulty and the organism is energetically fragmented.

In Harmonizing the Five Elements 2 we nurture the positive emotions arising from each organ. We consciously blend this variety of high frequencies into one which is the energy of pure compassion. We then circulate this high frequency through the meridian system in order to raise the vibratory level of the entire energy system. At first these positive states are experienced for a limited time only; however, with regular practice the energy system begins to change and eventually reintegrates itself at the higher frequency of the positive emotions. This results in a shift in consciousness and a qualitative change in our relationship with ourselves and others.

The energy of compassion is utilized to raise the frequency of the central channel and the supporting channels around it. This level of work lays the foundations for the right alchemical ingredient in the higher practices of Fire and Water.

Harmonizing the Five Elements 2 gives us the ability to generate extraordinary energies in order to bring about extraordinary results. A common mistake for those who rush through Harmonizing the Five Elements 1 and the basic practices is that they approach the higher alchemy with ordinary energy, mixture of unresolved emotional states and obstacles of all sorts, hoping to obtain extraordinary results. Ordinary energy is only capable of producing ordinary results. Higher alchemy requires extraordinary ingredients of exceptional quality and integrity.

The attainment of a stable positive emotional state allows the organism to reintegrate at superior levels of consciousness and vibrate with frequencies which can truly unfold the potential of the advanced practices.

Harmonizing the five elements 3: harmonizing the meridian system, with teacher Juan Li

The higher frequencies of compassion and sustained positive states are utilized at this level to harmonize the entire meridian system. In ordinary circumstances, the central channel is the only meridian where yin and yang interact generating Creative Energy. The rest of the meridian system is polarized as either yin or yang. In the third level of Harmonizing the Five Elements, Creative Energy is circulated through the whole meridian system rapidly raising the frequency of the whole system.

The meridian system and the life force are different names for the same thing which is, consciousness. The raising of frequency of the meridian system translates as the raising of the level of consciousness above the plateau of ordinary states.

This level brings the practitioner to the very limits of the yang practices where personal effort and personal initiative are the sole driving force. The Creation doesn’t take place with yang perseverance only; the yin perseverance or receptive is also essential. Beyond the Harmonizing the Five Elements 3 begins the stage of receptivity where the quality of our previous actions begin to generate a reaction from the universe. This is the stage called ‘The Yin Practice’ and the theme of the I Ching hexagrams from 31 to 64.
