Transform Negative Emotions,
By
This review is from: Fusion Of The Five Elements (Paperback)
I have taken workshops on all three levels of Fusion of the Five Elements with Mantak Chia way back 17 years ago. The lovely thing about personal instruction is you are guided step-by-step through the practice. The problem is that over the years there are bits and pieces of information that you forget. Many years later on I also got the Mantak Chia's videos - just about all of them, including the ones for Fursion of the Five Elements and I highly recommend them. It's like having Mantak Chia in your own room, guiding you step by step.Then I got this book and I'm so glad I did because in this book I found even more information, more advanced practices and imagery that was not covered in the video. Before you begin working with the practices in this book you should know how to work with Microcosmic Orbit. That is covered in few of Mantak Chia's previous books "Awaken the Healing Energy of Tao" and "Awaken the Healing Light of Tao". In Taoist Alchemy emotions are considered to be stored in different organs: lungs, heart, spleen, kidneys and liver. Fuson of the Five Elements involves working with the imagery and healing sounds which help to transmute the negative aspects of energy into positive in each of the organs, and then gathering the purified energy into appropriate collection points, establishing it in four paquas (baguas), fusing it and then creating a pearl, circulating it around the microcosmic orbit, shooting it out, forming another body, absorbing more energy and bring it back into the physical body. That's just the first level. The practice extensive use of your power to create vivid images. The effects of the practice are noticeble from the very beginning. If the practice seems too complex, go ahead and get videos. They will make the entire process very easy to do. The practice is actually much easier to do then to describe.

An intermediate energy work text,
By Taylor Ellwood "http://www.imagineyourreality... - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fusion Of The Five Elements (Paperback)
This is an excellent book, which will allow you to delve further into the energy work techniques that Chia teaches. To get the most out of this book, you need to do the exercises. I think it's important to slowly integrate each additional step after you feel confident with learning the prior step. I will say that I've already noted some positive results for myself.

Opening & Clearing the Gateways to Higher Consciousness,
By Cynthia Sue Larson "Author of Reality Shifts" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fusion Of The Five Elements (Paperback)
Mantak Chia's book, "Fusion of the Five Elements" provides readers with powerful meditation and energy working tools for transforming the top five negative emotions (anger, impatience, anxiety, depression, and stress) stored in five of our body's main organs into their most positive counterparts (kindness, love & joy, openness, courage and gentleness). While the basic Taoist principles behind this healing process may seem straightforward to some, the techniques themselves are refreshingly unique and memorable, such as breathing the purest form of gentleness into the shape of beautiful deer with antlers, for example. Chia explains that since the original Taoist animal offspring utilized in energy work for clearing the five elements / organs might seem rather unusual in this day and age, it is possible to substitute other symbols in their stead.The delightful surprise in "Fusion of the Five Elements" is the way the range of feelings from each of five major organs (liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen) is described, along with marvelous tables and illustrations that accompany the energy work meditations. I was very positively impressed with the associations provided with how good awareness between each of these five primary organs and the associated opening (eyes, tongue, nose, ears, mouth) can help to reduce the various temptations of each of these areas. Readers familiar with the concept of the five elements will find much to appreciate in this book, as many of the advanced exercises have the capacity to benefit all energy practitioners, from beginners to the most advanced. "Fusion of the Five Elements" covers Chia's concept of creating pearls that form the energy body extremely well. Anyone wishing to continue on with Chia's other books will appreciate the clarity of his words and illustrations which are devoted to describing how one can best create, maintain, and control one's chi body as it evolves to his highest form. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful

Another Excellent Mantak Chia book,
By S. DANIELSON - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fusion Of The Five Elements (Paperback)
This is a very excellent introduction to the fusion system. I admit, I really didn't start to get much out of the fusion system until I read Fusion 2 Cosmic Fusion, but this book is essential. I don't recommend reading this until you have practiced the microcosmic orbit and Iron Shirt 1 for some time, however, Iron Shirt works much better after the Fusion of Five elements have been practiced.I rate this 4 stars because it has all the information necessary for the introductory practice, although I subtracted 1 star because I feel as if there could have been a little more information about the physical internal movements that mirror the visualization and 'funnels' the movement of 'chi'. Still, everything you need is still there. Don't let the esoteric sounding nature of the book turn you off, the elements, animals, and everything else are an important identification/visualization system to get something very real working. IMO, Mantak Chia books are the best out there. |
