    Tsa Lung 1: Upward-Moving Wind Practice Instructions The Formal Practice

    Uploaded by

    Chris Christodoulidis
    The document provides instructions for an upward-moving wind practice to work with pain body and pain speech. The formal practice involves sitting comfortably, connecting with stillness, performing breathings of purification, focusing on a pain issue, feeling the breath move up the central channel while rotating the head, exhaling sharply to remove obstacles from the crown and throat chakras, and resting in the resulting openness. The informal practice applies the techniques throughout the day whenever one notices pain body or pain speech arising.

    Tsa Lung 1: Upward-Moving Wind Practice Instructions

    The formal practice:


    • Sit in the five-point posture (or other comfortable sitting position)
    • Draw your attention to your body and connect with Stillness, Silence and
    Spaciousness
    • Perform the Nine Breathings of Purification
    • Reflect on your life and select an issue related to your conceptual karmic pain
    body or speech. You may focus on just pain body, just pain speech, or both at once,
    whichever seems most appropriate to you personally.
    • Connect with the pain, feeling it clearly.
    • With a focus on your throat, inhale and imagine that your throat holds your breath
    as a vase holds nectar.
    • Without exhaling, inhale again, still keeping the focus on the throat.
    • Feel the subtle energy of your breath move up the central channel to the crown
    chakra as you rotate your head five times to the left (counterclockwise), and then five
    time to the right (clockwise). Feel the subtle breath cleansing and nurturing your sense
    organs and brain. If you are new to this practice, begin very gently to avoid discomfort or
    injury.
    • Release your breath through the nostrils, slowly at first, and then exhaling more
    sharply at the end, by pulling in the diaphragm. While exhaling your outer, grosser
    breath, imagine the subtle breath shoots upward and out of your crown chakra, removing
    all the obstacles and blockages from your throat and head area. The obstacles and
    stagnant energy instantly dissolve into the space.
    • If your emphasis is pain body, rest in the openness at the crown. If your emphasis
    is pain speech, rest in the openness at the throat chakra. As you become familiar with the
    unique space that is free of pain body (in the crown) or pain speech (in the throat), notice
    any sense of warmth, as experiences of bliss body or bliss speech may spontaneously
    arise. Abide in that space as long as the experience is fresh.
    • You can repeat the exercise three, five or seven times. Remember to rest in the
    open awareness for longer and longer periods of time, as your ability to do so increases.
    Note: Each time you perform the exercise, take time to select what you seek to clear from
    your crown and throat chakras.

    The informal practice:


    Throughout your day, whenever you become conscious of the pain body, a sense
    of sitting on a “rotten karmic cushion”:
    • Draw your clear, open attention to the crown chakra
    • Be aware of the stillness of your body.
    • Exhale deeply to release the negative energy. Imagine the subtle breath shoots
    upward and out of your crown chakra, removing all the obstacles and blockages from
    your head area. The obstacles and stagnant energy instantly dissolve into the space.
    • Rest in the openness at the crown chakra
    • Maintain awareness of that unique space for at least 5 minutes, or as long as the
    experience remains fresh.
    Or, whenever you notice a negative upward-moving wind is compelling you to
    start arguing or complaining, for example, try to catch that moment before it manifests
    externally as pain speech.
    • Draw your clear, open attention to the throat chakra
    • Listen to the silence
    • Exhale deeply to release the negative energy. Imagine the subtle breath shoots
    upward and out of your crown chakra, removing all the obstacles and blockages from
    your throat area. The obstacles and stagnant energy instantly dissolve into the space.
    • Rest in the openness at the throat chakra
    • Maintain awareness of that unique space for at least 5 minutes, or as long as the
    experience remains fresh.

    Repeat the informal practice at least five to 10 times a day.
