The microcosmic orbit meditation is the most essential Tao practice, it is the energy highway of your body. By circulating Qi in this simple orbit, you are generating energy to be stored in the navel. The body knows which organs need extra energy. The organs, glands, and blood automatically receive this energy when circulating the warm current. Many other practices are dependent upon your ability to perfect the Microcosmic Orbit.

Master Chia will help you to circulate your Qi in the MCO through Energy Transmission. Many students practicing with Master Chia not only witness the power of violet light during the Energy Transmission but also begin their initial healing processes. He carefully goes through each student in Tao Garden individually, and when finished, he sends this energy to the online attendees.
