The microcosmic orbit: A gentle circle of energy
A calm Taoist practice of circulating energy up the back and down the front of the body with the breath. A balanced, complete loop.
The microcosmic orbit comes from Taoist energy practice. Sit comfortably and breathe slowly. On each inhale, imagine a gentle warmth rising up your spine to the top of your head. On each exhale, let it flow softly down the front of your body back to your belly.
Because it moves energy in a complete, balanced circle rather than pushing it upward, it's traditionally considered a safe way to work with the energy body. Keep it gentle, and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.

Kundalini practice is powerful and can be destabilizing without preparation and support. Never try to force an awakening, and learn direct practices from a qualified teacher. This isn't medical advice. This is deep inner territory. If you find yourself in real distress, please reach out to a mental health professional alongside your spiritual practice; the two work beautifully together. In the US, you can call or text 988 any time.
