(Wu Ji Qigong)

Stand facing EAST, the direction of sunrise (new beginnings). Open your heart to change. Inwardly smile or call to each of the 4 directions & above/below/center. Hold clear intention to return to the center of the universe, the center of your life, to be the point of balance in every perception arising in your present moment. Open yourself to being in "wu ji", the "supreme unknown", the primordial void. It is the Origin, Godhead, Primal Mother at the center of all sacred space. Ask to create your life from this space; accept that it will solve your problems & complete your life.
