15 TiHuGuanDing 醍醐灌頂

Heavenly Dew Purifies the Body

This movement is so quiet, so bright, so pure. It feels like the full moon overhead, pouring silver light into me through the crown of my head.

Down, through the skull, the throat, the heart, lungs, diaphragm, to the belly, where it pools, reflecting.

"This movement is a way to open the gate of wisdom, symbolizing not only the way of physical wellness resulting from Qigong, but also the way of spiritual enlightenment. It also means the pleasure of receiving wisdom, like pouring rich liqueur over one’s head."

"Imagine bringing the dew from heaven into your body and down to earth. This heavenly dew is pouring through the top of your head to nourish the body and spirit. It is an inner shower of purification."

-- Master Wu

This movement reminds me strongly of The Middle Pillar exercise and of the descending energy down the Conception Vessel during microcosmic orbit.

Following immediately after ErLongXiZhu, it feels so simple and quiet.

It has power in the way a whisper has power.
