Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Small Universe, do you split the energy ball for kidneys?

Hello beautiful citizens!

I have kind of a goofy question.

When I do small universe, I increase the energy ball at each point and then move it to the next point. I've been wondering, though, how to do this for the kidneys. Since there are two, do people tend to divide the energy into each kidney, or just kind of expand the energy ball so it encompasses both kidneys? All the other points just have one specific point, so I was a bit confused by this point.

Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions!!

Hmm... interesting. I have always seen my organs light up where ever the energy ball is. I only see the ball in the beginning when I start. Other than that I only visualize my organs/areas glowing with bright bluish-white light - don't ask me why bluish-white. I have no clue. The first time I visualize the ball, that's what I thought. Although, when the ball starts spinning at the end, I do see the SFQ yin-yang symbol on top of the ball & spinning very fast.

I see what you're saying, and that makes sense. Thanks for the comment!

One thing, though; doesn't Master Lin say to "move the energy to the next spot" on the cd? So if you light up each organ/point, how do you get to the next point? With a line, or do you drop the organ/point and then just pick it up again at the nextx point?

My understanding:
Inhale: bring in the energy from the universe to each point.
Exhale: push the energy to the next spot.

So the part I'm talking about is the exhale. I'm picturing the energy running along a circle among the 12 points of small universe. But maybe there is a more effective way to visualize this?

Do you actually SEE the blue white light, or are you seeing it in your mind's eye?

It's like when someone tells me to close my eyes and visualize a beach. And I do that, I set that scene in my mind's eye. But I don't REALLY see a picture of a beach behind my eyes. So, when people do their Spring Forest meditations, are you seeing the organs light up, or the rainbow coming toward you, etc? Is there an actual picture? Or are you just kind of pretending you're seeing it thru a strong and focused visualization? I'm doing the latter, and I was wondering if I'll eventually SEE the picture (clearly, like as if my eyes were open), or if I just get better at a focused visualization in my mind's eye. This is a little hard to explain, but if anyone knows what I am talking about, I'd love to hear from you!!

Thanks for any thoughts!

Aloha Carebear,

Check out page 26 in your manual. You’re moving and collecting energy in an area, not specific organs.

At some point you may actually "see" what’s actually going on in those areas. Until then, visualize it. If you're having a challenge visualizing it-imagine it. If you're having a challenge imagining it-pretend its there.

Much Love, Shawn

Thanks for your hugs Carebear.
I don't exactly see the light, I just visualize and in my mind I do see the kidneys, base of head (and other sections) light up. Qigong is information & message healing, so my transfer of energy from one part to another is instantaneous. Although, in my heart I know that it traveled through the spinal cord, which also helps the spine. It's like turning on a switch in your living room and the bulbs light up exactly at that time (I should say in our normal perception of time).

I think it is not necessary to split the energy. As I see it, we move the energy throught our two main channels. The back channel and the front channel.
As I've understood from one of the CD's if the energy is blocked in the main channels also the other channels will not get the necessary energy.
As I see it we are as a tree. Our main channels represents the trunk, the other channels the branches. If the trunk doesn't has enought energy also the branches will not have enough and at the end they will die. The tree too. The same for us.

When the energy in those two main channels is enough, from those two channels the energy will go to the other energetical channels which further will provide the needed energy for the organs, also for the kidneys.

That is as I see it.

PS: Sorry for my english if something is not written ok. I am not an english speaker. I live in Slovenia (former Yugoslavia, now Europe).

Hi Carebear,

As far as I am aware there is no need to be so specific as to split the energy ball.
I have always understood that the energy will follow the intention so if you intend it to go to the 'kidney area' it will go to both kidneys. Also I believe that the energy will go to wherever it is needed at the time.

I am not very good at visualising so for me the energy moving round my Small Universe is a feeling. I feel a rush and warmth and that works for me.
In SFQ we say all is good, better and best so whatever works for you may be the best for you. There are so many forms of Energy Work and they all have success so I don't think you need to get hung up on technique. As Master Lin says the main things are Love, Kindness and Forgiveness.

Love & light,
