The best way is through doing cold shower, preferably starting in Summer. The natural bodily response to coldness is shivering, a tightening of one's muscles, so that heat will be generated and the body will be agitated to flight, i.e. move quickly away from the freezing environment. This natural response however cannot induce chi-generation.
To induce chi-generation under a cold shower, one MUST relax one's body (or muscles) and focus one's mind towards one's internal sensitivity. If one is successful, chi will be generated throughout the body to create enough warmth to combat the cold environment.
It is important to note that the speed of chi-generation (needless to say, together with its magnitude) is essential in the training process. Too slow a chi-generation (and too weak a magnitude) will likely result in shivering, a natural response which may lead to "getting a cold". The body needs to be trained in steps. The logic is always: Shower cold at some part of your body - do meditation under this condition - shower cold again (with or without increasing the affected areas) - do meditation again...
Remember: don't push to the state of involuntary shivering, but do push into its limit! Relax, focus and...enjoy!
I'll be here tomorrow. I am comming back to my own practice. Thank you so much for reminding me what is important.
ReplyDeleteTrue...there ain't no excuse for not keeping up with one's practice! Thanks for visiting, as always.
ReplyDeleteAwakening the chakras is an important and integral part of learning tantra. Opening the pathways for tantric energy to flow is a must if one wishes to make any progress at all. However, do not be under the impression that awakening the chakras is merely a mystical tantric practice.
