To clear, nourish, and shield is essential in energy cultivation. Some knowledge is suggested before engaging in this meditation. This includes being aware of the Taoist energy center locations: upper tan tien is in the head area, middle is heart, & lower is belly. Know the North Star, 5 element theory, & appropriate posture. By cultivating each spirit of the 5 elements within yourself, you encounter microcosmic echoes in organs, energies, &healths: For example, shen corresponds to the heart organ energies, fire element, also joy, clarity of mind, creativity, &reputation. Yi corresponds to spleen organ energies, also earth element, discernment, freedom from excess worry, & effortless compassion. Po to lung organ energies, also metal element, physical robustness, release of grief, appropriate boundaries, &prosperity. Zhi to kidney organ energies, also water element, strength of will, &life purpose. Hun to the liver organ energies, also wood element, ethereal soul, alchemy, work ethic.

This is s very relaxing and energizing meditation. The sound quality of the recording is particularly good, the sound of voice is clear and soothing and the silence is silent (very little noise). It is very easy for me to find myself here as I am sometimes distracted by music.
