Chapter 5
Level V

Level V contains forty practice formulas from the Universal Healing Tao system. The practices summarized in this chapter are covered more fully in the Destiny Books editions of four Universal Healing Tao books: Taoist Astral Healing, Advanced Chi Nei Tsang, Golden Elixir Chi Kung, and Tai Chi Fa Jin. Each of the practices summarized here references the page numbers of one of these books, on which the more detailed step-by-step presentation of the practice can be found.

Taoist Astral Healing: Taoist Astral Healing is the second level of Cosmic Healing in the Universal Healing Tao system. It connects practitioners to the cosmos by creating vortexes in the human body that draw cosmic healing energy into the body. Taoist Astral Healing provides a step-by-step program for refining the ability to cultivate, circulate, and retain chi from the stars and planets. It offers advanced techniques for drawing down energies from the stars and planets in order to grow in awareness and to develop full soul potential.

Advanced Chi Nei Tsang: Advanced Chi Nei Tsang is the second level of the Chi Nei Tsang practices utilizing hand and pressure point techniques to open and flush the twelve winds of the body, which accumulate in the abdominal and navel area. Advanced Chi Nei Tsang teaches you how to release the bad winds and sweep them out to reestablish a healthy flow (good winds) of vital energy. Using Chi Nei Tsang techniques in and around the navel provides the fastest method of healing and the most permanent results.

Golden Elixir Chi Kung: The formulas of Elixir Chi Kung consist of twelve practices that activate the fountain of life. Taoists have long considered saliva to be a key component for optimal health. They recommend swallowing the saliva up to one thousand times a day to promote physical healing. Golden Elixir Chi Kung contains twelve postures that develop and utilize the healing power of saliva. By utilizing these practices you can develop self-healing abilities that revitalize organs and promote longevity and spiritual vitality.

Tai Chi Fa Jin: Tai Chi Fa Jin is the Tai Chi Chi Kung discharge form of the Universal Healing Tao. This is a simple yang-style form with thirteen movements (the eight gates and five positions) performed in four directions, starting in the North. This form facilitates the use of discharge power, or Fa Jin in Chinese. By doing your daily Tai Chi Fa Jin practice you are forming your energetic yang body (dense spaceship) for travel in the realms of infinity, as opposed to a yin body suitable for astral travel.
