Microcosmic Orbit (MCO) meditation
Microcosmic orbit (MCO) meditation
Please note, your intention is the absolute key to success with this process, as it is with your entire energy practice. When you are starting to learn to work with energy, it is common to feel frustrated trying to feel or visualize the movement of energy. Be confident with your intention. Your sensitivity and confidence will grow with practice.
Step 1. Core Connection Breath intro (standing.)
Step 2. Basic essentials of the Microcosmic Orbit (MCO). This step 2 progression is all you need to do to start to build energy in your body as well as protect your energy body from outside stressors or negativity.
Visualize a white energy that feels like a warm mist that enters your crown (top of your head). With each inhalation the warm white mist moves down the front of your spine and builds in your mid belly region which we will refer to as you dan tien. After several breaths you will feel this warm white energy expanding with each inhalation and eventually expanding into every cell in your front body.
After this energy has supercharged your front body you will feel it expand from your tailbone region and move up the back of your spine and back out the top of your crown. This completes the MCO and after several breaths you will have super charged your entire system. Each complete breath continues to expand this white healing mist of energy creating space between all your cells and building this healing vibration. This version of the MCO will adequately teach you to visualize and feel universal energy as it completes this loop inside of bodies.
When the flow of MCO or universal energy has supercharged your body, it will protect you from picking up other people's stress or energy. When you are working on another person you are using this unlimited stream of healing Universal Energy and not depleting our own personal energy stores.
Step 3. Advanced MCO.
After you are comfortable with the above basic MCO and you have supercharged your body, incorporate the below principles to help you take it to the next level.
Now bring your awareness to opening up your front body chakras.
Starting with your third eye (Anya). Feel the warm white mist of healing energy built in your third eye. Visualize this energy expanding and permeating every cell in this region. After several breaths, when you will feel the shift in warmth and flowing energy, it is time to move down to the next chakra. With consistent practice you will eventually be able to open and clear each chakra with each breath. Repeat this sequence down your energy body in the order below.
Throat (vishuda)
Heart (anahata)
Solar Plexus (manipura)
Pelvic (svathana)
Sacral (muladhara)
When this warm white mist of healing universal energy has expanded through your entire front body you will feel a beautiful warmth and vibration which will charge every cell in your front body. With each inhalation, you will feel and visualize this energy expand. When you feel your front body is supercharged, it's time to push this energy up your back body and return it back to the universe.
To expand this universal energy up the back body you will use the core connection contraction.
Inhale, feel and visualize the ball of universal energy expanding.
With each exhalation, use a slightly more focused core connection contraction to circulate this energy around the microcosmic and eventually return to the universe back through the crown chakra. Repeat this with each breath until each chakra feels warm and clear.
Ascend up the spine in the reverse order below.
Sacral (muladhara)
Pelvic (svathana)
Solar Plexus (manipura)
Heart (anahata)
Throat (vishuda)
Third Eye (anya)
Once the entire body has become charged with this warm mist of healing universal energy, run several rounds of this microcosmic orbit. Supercharge your body by feeling the vibration of this healing frequency expand into every cell of your body while this energy circulates through the MCO.
When you are comfortable with step 3, move onto step 4.
Step 4. Channeling energy through your hands.
When your entire internal universe is supercharged, you are ready to channel this universal energy out your hands to help yourself and others.
On your exhale, drop your chin down slightly to activate the chin lock (Jalahara bahnda) and use the slightly more focused core connection contraction to move this universal energy out your hands.
Recharge your universal energy in your system with each inhalation. Repeat as required.
When you are finished with your treatment, release the chin lock and run a couple cycles of the MCO to recharge your system.
Note: Remember, this energy moving through your MCO is the universal healing energy. Once this has permeated your system and once you learn to ground yourself and maintain this, you are protected from picking up other people's energy. This is very beneficial in all forms of bodywork and even life because we don’t ever want to pick up other people's stress and trauma. If you ever feel too sympathetic to someone else's problems you can pick up their issues. Also, some people get their energy by taking it from others. I call these people energy vampires and try to keep them out of my life or at least away my energy system.
You can protect yourself and clear any energies you pick up with the MCO.
