The 1 through 10 meditation.
Ideally,
If you are able,
You should do the 1 to 10 meditation in a standing Wuji position.
The Wuji position has your feet firmly on the ground.
Lift all of your toes on both feet and place them down one by one.
Gently rock forward and back on your feet.
Bring the feet in and out and feel both the insides and outsides of the balls of your feet and the heels.
Gently place a little bit more weight in the heels of your feet.
Slightly tuck your tailbone and feel as though the perineum has a heavy weight rooting down into the earth.
Your hips are relaxed in this position.
Your spine elongates up.
Your shoulders reach down and your neck is also reaching to the heavens,
The top of your headlight.
Bend your elbows so your hands are in front of you at hip height,
Palms facing towards the ground.
The fingers are extended and slightly separated.
The lower half of your body roots into the earth and the upper half elongates up to the heavens.
Gently breathe in your Wuji position.
Rooting deep into the earth,
Imagine energy flowing up through the feet,
Into the body,
And in the lower Dantian,
The area just behind and below the navel.
As you continue to breathe in a relaxed manner,
Picture energy flowing in from the heavens through the top of the head,
Through the body,
Into the heart center.
Continue to breathe,
Lengthening your breath while you watch energy flowing into the body.
Your spine is elongated.
Your shoulders relaxed down.
Your head reaches up to the heavens as your feet continue to ground in the earth.
One is fun.
Take pleasure in the moment.
Imagine a smile melting down the front of your body like warm oil,
Melting all stress and tension into the earth.
A second smile melts down the back of your body,
Dissolving all stress and tension down into the earth.
A third and final smile melts down the center of your head,
Relaxing all thoughts,
Judgments,
And feelings,
And flows down your shoulders and arms and out your hands.
The melting continues to flow down the center of your torso like warm oil,
Melting all emotional blocks and tension.
This melting then flows down your legs and into the ground.
At this point,
Your mind and body should feel content,
Relaxed,
And peaceful.
Two is shoe.
Thus,
Imagine your feet melting into the earth like ice melting on a hot sidewalk.
The energy of the feet fuses with the earth,
Melting in five directions,
Forward,
Backward,
Right,
Left,
And down.
This connects your mind and body with earth energy.
Three is tree.
Therefore,
Feel yourself extending tree roots twice your body's height deep into the ground.
The roots expand in five directions,
Forward,
Backward,
Right,
Left,
And down,
Securing your rooting and connection with the earth energy.
Four is core.
Thus,
Imagine your roots extending deep into the core of the planet.
The earth energy flows into these roots,
Ascending up the legs,
Spine,
Over your head,
Down the chest,
And enters your lower dantian,
The area behind and below your navel.
This action allows you to draw earth energy into your body and circulate it through the microcosmic orbit.
A solid connection to the earth roots your physical,
Mental,
Emotional,
And spiritual energies and fills up your lower dantian with earth energy.
Five is alive.
Therefore,
Feel the earth energy building up within your lower dantian.
The energy increases to the point that your dantian can no longer contain its power.
It rushes up the center of your chest like a mighty river,
Dividing into two streams which flow out each palm into the earth.
This action releases and emits the energy stored within your lower dantian.
Six is thick.
Thus,
Imagine the room or environment where you're standing being filled with energy.
This energy becomes so thick,
It is as if you are submerged under water.
This fuses the environmental energy with your energy and the earth's energy into one dynamic field of energy.
Seven is heaven.
Therefore,
Allow your Baikui point,
The point at the top of your head,
To open up and draw in the divine healing white light into your upper dantian,
The area behind the center of your forehead.
Let the divine light fill your head and the entire upper dantian area till it floods and shines down from the upper dantian into your chest,
Filling up this entire middle dantian area.
Finally,
The light shines down from the middle dantian,
Filling up the lower abdominal area and the entire lower dantian.
This light connects you with the heavenly healing white light energy from the divine,
Filling up all three dantians and your taiji pole,
The center core of your energy.
Thus,
Heavenly and earthly energies fuse within your body.
Eight is open the gates.
Therefore,
Imagine opening every pore on your surface tissues.
Begin to draw environmental energy into your taiji pole,
Your energy center as you inhale.
As you exhale,
Imagine your center core vibrating and glowing like a neon light.
This visualization energizes your center core,
Harmonizes your energy and breath,
And prepares you to strengthen your energy and light,
Your chi and shen.
Nine is shine.
Therefore,
Imagine that your center core becomes completely full of energy and overflows by shining.
Your taiji pole,
Your center energy moves outward through your pores until it fills up the entire room like a bright phosphorus flare.
This visualization fuses the heavenly chi,
Earthly chi,
And your chi with the external environment.
Ten is begin with all things now in order.
You are physically,
Mentally,
Emotionally,
Energetically,
And spiritually in harmony with your body,
The heavenly energy,
And earthly energy.
You are now ready to move on with your day.
