Introduction to Taoist Meditation
The meditations of the Universal Healing Tao are very much about connecting inside to our own 'inner universe'. The Taoist sages understood that our body is a macrocosm (miniature version) of the macrocosm (Universe) and that we have the power to heal ourselves through connecting inwardly.
Through the basic meditations of the Inner Smile, Six Healing Sounds and Microcosmic Orbit, we learn to bring our senses inwards and make a good connection with our vital organs, the source of life and death.
Importance of Balanced Energy
Our energy needs to flow freely through the body’s meridiens (energetic pathways) like a river. Only then can our cells and organs remain healthy. Unfortunately, due to habits and lifestyle, our Chi can become stagnant, blocked, excessive in some areas and deficient in others. This affects all levels of our being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. So for example, if your liver is clogged with physical toxins, you are likely to feel (mentally) nervous and (emotionally) frustrated or angry. And too much heat in the heart will result in feelings of impatience and hastiness.
According to Taoists sages, the physiological function of each organ will equally be impaired by negative emotions: worry affects the spleen / stomach; fear and stress affect the kidneys and sadness and grief affect the Lungs.
Practicing the Cosmic Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds we connect with and clear negative emotional energy from the organs. And with the Microcosmic Orbit we free up and circulate our Chi flow around two major meridians which together form a loop up the back and down the front of the body.
Each organ system also stores a particular part of our Soul and Spirit, which ‘reveal’ themselves in our positive ‘virtues’. The Heart’s essence is joy, gratitude and respect; The Stomach and Spleen’s are trust and openness. The virtues in the Kidneys are deep peace and stillness, which are also the essential nature of the Water Element. Each virtue is infact the essence of one of the Five Elemental Forces of Nature found in both our body and the Cosmos, which when combined form the energy of Compassion.

Practicing the Cosmic Inner Smile and Six Healing Sounds we connect with and clear negative emotional energy from the organs. And with the Microcosmic Orbit we free up and circulate our Chi flow around two major meridians which together form a loop up the back and down the front of the body. Here is a brief outline of each practice:
The Inner Smile Meditation
The Inner Smile is the smile of total happiness - this is not the social smile but a smile which arises from the cells and organs of the body. During this practice one connects with the positive emotions (virtues) and negative or out of balance emotions within the body, sending a loving, healing smile to each organ. Whilst very simple, the effects of this are profound. The benefits include an improved connection with oneself, increased self-love and self-confidence and a deep sense of calm after each meditation, which has an accumulating effect each time it is done.
The Six Healing Sounds Meditation
The Six healing sounds is a basic relaxation technique utilizing simple arm movements and special sounds to produce a cooling effect upon the internal organs. These special sounds vibrate specific organs, while the arm movements, combined with posture, guide heat and pressure out of the body. The results are improved digestion, reduced internal stress, reduced insomnia and headaches and greater vitality as the Chi flow increases through the different organs. The six healing sounds method is beneficial to anyone practicing various forms of meditation, martial arts, or sports in which there is a tendency to build up excessive heat in the system.
The Microcosmic Orbit Meditation
‘The opening the Microcosmic Orbit’: This circuit of energy, flowing up the back and down the front of the body, is comprised of the Functional and Governor Channels. Opening the Microcosmic Orbit circulates and directs the Chi within them, purifying and linking the channels to form a free-flowing circuit. An open Microcosmic Orbit also enables you to expand outward to connect with the universal, Cosmic particle and Earth forces during later practices.
