Spring & Summer 2022
1. May 7-8, 2022: Sat/Sun, 9 am – 6 pm
Fusion of Five Elements 2 & 3:
Psychic & Soul Alchemy
Open Macro Orbit – The 8 Extraordinary Vessels linked into a single flow of Soul Qi
Internal bagua (octagonal energy shape) stabilizes the 8 Extraordinary Vessels
Secrets of growing a powerful Energy Body
• Supercharge spine in spirals of golden light
• Open thrusting, belt, arm & leg channels
• Heal chronic illness & deep pre-natal trauma
• 8 Extraordinary Vessels Qigong (on DVD)
• Pangu Mystical Qigong (on DVD)
To read full description of the 9 Major Benefits of Fusion 2 & 3: https://michaelwinnv5.qlogictechnologies.com/fusion2.html
The 8 Extra Vessels connect the inner and outer Qi field, and allow you to “dance” between your inner and outer life. The Wudang Mountain version of the macro-cosmic orbit will also be taught as the most powerful internal method I’ve found for integrating the 8 Extraordinary Vessels into a continuous flowing circuit.
This Wudang Mountain version of themacro-orbit lays a foundation for opening Qi flow between the 8 Original Forces of Universe (I Ching 8 trigram-tones or 8 winds). A powerful “8 Extraordinary Vessels” qigong form makes this practice simple to remember. It heals deep psychic imbalances not reached by acupuncture.
Many mysterious chronic illnesses can be healed at this deep channel level, much faster than using acupuncture or herbs working on the 12 regular meridians.
This opening of Qi flow in the Eight Extraordinary channels links your pre-natal and post-natal energy bodies, i.e. the deep structure of how you birth yourself each moment. This is why the training also opens up psychic abilities.
These abilities are simply the result of having clear channels for communication between the soul and the personality.
We’ll learn to purify our aura & regulate our Energy Body with belt & thrusting channels. Giveto and Receive chi from the environment with Positive & Negative Arm & Leg channels.
Another practice taught is my “9 Spirals of the Energy Body” in the four directions to integrate he Five Shen with the Five Directional Dragons. This practice connects the internal flow of your macro-cosmic orbit out to the edge of the universe and back! A wonderfully empowering and healing journey.
This course lays a strong foundation for Healing Love and Water & Fire (Kan & Li) Inner Sexual Alchemy.
$144. for weekend, $90. reviewers.
Pre-req: Microcosmic Orbit & 6 Healing Sounds (Qigong Fundamentals 1 & 2), live or by homestudy. You can learn the energy channel work of Fusion 2/3 without doing the emotional body/inner pearl work of Fusion 1. But it is optimal to first learn Fusion 1.
