We are all energy and information, at our core.
In fact, everything in the Universe is energy and information assembled in different ways to create matter. From the phone in your pocket, to the car you drive, or clothes you wear, and all the way to celestial bodies, everything works on the same principles of creation.
But we are sentient beings.
That’s the difference between a human and a piece of furniture. We can interact consciously with the energy and information that created us.
This is possible through two main currents:
The down-flowing current – which is related to channeling the universal life force energy and the one that manifests throughout the multiple dimensions and eventually reaches the physical plane of existence where we now belong.
The up-flowing current – which refers to our inner vital energy generated by the spirit (also called the inner self). This vital energy belongs to the universal life force energy and is part of creation.
So how can you work with these energies?
How can you blend them to reach balance in your life?
Aside from Reiki, you can consider the following method:
The Small Heavenly Circuit
Qi Gong is a 4000-year discipline.
It encompasses principles and methods from traditional Chinese medicine. It also includes many meditations and physical exercises for stimulating what is known as “chi.”
The Small Heavenly Circuit is one of them.
This practice involves relaxation and visualization of a small sphere of light that gently travels through the length of the body (front and back,) stimulating the activation of certain energy centers on it’s path.
While some of these centers correspond to chakras, they also relate to our vital organs.
3 Benefits of the Small Heavenly Circuit:
- Improves blood flow and stimulates the metabolism.
- Increases the flow of vital energy, helping the vital organs function optimally.
- Cleanses and activates the chakras and the main energy channel called Sushumna.
The Small Heavenly Circuit is an excellent method for raising your vibration when you feel disconnected from yourself and the world around you.
But it can also have an awakening effect, opening your ability to tap into higher levels of consciousness.
This awareness will help you practice it with more intetion.
How To Practice The Small Heavenly Circuit
This is a visualization exercise where you will guide a sphere of light upward on the back of your body, and downward on the front of your body. The goal is to practice this exercise as relaxed as possible, allowing the sphere to sit in each position as much, or as little, as your intuition guides you.
Now let’s begin.
Positioning
- Sit comfortably in a chair with your back straight.
- Rest your palms on your lap and relax.
- Close your eyes and feel your entire body to connect with the present moment.
- Place the tip of your tongue on the roof of the mouth, behind your upper incisors to connect the front and bank energetic channels.
Visualization
- Bring your attention to the sacral chakra.
- Visualize a sphere of bright, orange light about the size of a ping ball.
- Stay in this position for a couple of minutes as the air comes in and out of your lungs.
- Let your mind wander, and then bring it back to the present moment, focusing on your breathing.
- When you feel centered, it means you’re ready.
The Small Heavenly Circuit
- Inhale slowly as you visualize the sphere traveling through your lower abdomen.
- Guide it to the root chakra area and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- The sphere might rotate in either direction. Let it spin at will to cleanse and activate this are of your body.
You will repeat these steps for the following positions:
- Lumbar area.
- The area between your kidneys.
- The area between your lungs.
- Behind your head.
- Top of your head.
Once you’re done, it’s time to move to the front of the body:
- Between the eyebrows.
- Pit of the throat.
- Center of the chest.
- Solar plexus.
You will finish at the original starting point, where the sacral chakra resides.
The Small Heavenly Circuit works because it speaks the body’s native language.
Your body already runs on energy and information.
It has been doing so since before you were born. This practice gives you a deliberate way to work with both currents instead of living at their mercy. Every position along the circuit corresponds to something real: an organ, a chakra, a function of your living system. Done consistently, it can revive your vital energy and show up in how you feel and operate each day.
The difference between theory and results in energy healing is… practice. And the Small Heavenly Circuit is one tool (like Reiki) that can give meaning to words.
Your body will tell you if it works or not.
