Fusion of the Five Elements I is the first level of meditation in a Taoist practice also know as Fusion of the Five forces in the universe. It is the beginning of Inner Alchemy, a scientific process by which you gain control over the energies of your inner universe so that a connection can be made to the tremendous energy of the universe beyond the body. This energy becomes useful for self healing, day-to-day living, and reaching spiritual goals.

The Fusion I meditation is the first step in learning to control the generation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within your body. The practice teaches you how to locate and dissolve the negative energies hidden inside your body. Using the Taoist five element theory, a connection is made between the five outer senses-eyes, tongue, moth, nose, ears-and the five major emotions-anger, hate, worry, sadness, and fear. Once the negative emotion is identified with the organ it is stored in, it can be controlled.

The fusion I mediation shows you step by step how the negative emotions are removed from the organs. Negative emotions are neither suppressed nor expressed. Instead, their negative energy is brought to specific points in the body where it is easily neutralized, purified, and then transformed back into your original positive, creative energy.

The great secret of crystallizing and storing your original positive energy in a mysterious pearl is revealed for the first time in the fusion alchemical formula. This pearl is the essence of our lifeforce energy, or Chi. It is central to nourishing the physical body, and later to nourishing the soul, or energy body. In more advanced fusion practice, your soul/eneergy body becomes very controllable and its power can be balanced, strengthended, and expansded to connect with the essence of the earth and star energies.

The fusion of the five elements I practice is the essential first step toward complete emotional and spiritual development. In this useful and informative work, Master Mantak Chia leads you step by step to becoming an emotionally-balanced, controlled, and strong individual while offering you the key to an immortal existence.
