Nei Kung Affirmations and Pyramid Poems

Nei Kung … “literally means ‘inner efficiency,’ and the reason for this title will be easily discerned when one has practiced it a few times. Generally, the practitioner will fall asleep while repeating the mental affirmations. He or she may awaken during the night with a strong heat flowing through him, and that heat has great healing qualities. Wherever the heat is felt, there is said to be blockage. As the Chi energy flows through the body from just below the waist down to the soles of the feet (the so-called “bubbling spring”), it passes through the meridian channels which are the basis of Chinese acupuncture. Effects are strong and surprising to the beginner.”

INSTRUCTION

“Lying on your back in bed, with eyes closed and the room light turned off, press your legs together and begin to mentally repeat the following four affirmations, over and over, until sleep intervenes:

This Energy Sea, this tan t’ien, from below the navel to the soles of the feet, full of my Original Face; where are the nostrils on that face?

This Energy Sea, this tan t’ien, from below the navel to the soles of the feet, full of my True Home; what need of a message from that home?

This Energy Sea, this tan t’ien, from below the navel to the soles of the feet, full of the Pure Land of Consciousness only; what need of outer pomp for this Pure Land?”
