Microcosmic Orbit - Part 1/14 - Intro
The first part of the free Microcosmic Orbit training provided by Damo Mitchell and the Internal Arts Academy. This is an introduction to the orbit and the key factors involved in its practice.
This first video is the introduction to a seven-hour in-depth training program on the MCO including theoretical lectures and practical training exercises which will show you how to activate the orbit for yourself.
To access the rest of the program, please follow this link: damomitchell.com/2020/03/23/m...

Happy to share if there is a topic I feel could help the Qigong community in general. That’s why we shared the MCO and the Qi Deviations courses here :)
Their is a so called master on you tube teaching Taoist principals. No disrespect to this master but finding your Chanel was a golden moment for me. I have looked for something more then general five minute explanations on breath exercises, philosophical understandings, and mysticism, on Taoism, and your gift for teaching is truly extraordinary. I appreciate this in depth series on the cosmic orbit. I am already into the 4th series but after this series I realized I was doing it wrong for one, and that most everything else I had learned was either inaccurate or a partial explanation. I look forward to taking a deep dive into all of your videos. Thanks again for this series, and I want to say what a superb teacher you are of complex topics! ☯️☸️
听了一遍就感觉老师讲的话是无懈可击的、老师的知识是无止境的。非常感谢达摩老师!
Thanks man this was amazing!
More on the golden embryo PLEASE, main reason I started to whole thing. I am stuck at the throat and got coughs, just like you mentioned. You are great Damo Mitchell :-)

Thank you so much, Damo! I had watched a MCO exercise by another teacher's youtube videos. He used visualization and force. I thought I was doing it correctly becayse I felt tingling sensations and felt energized at first. But later I realized that I just had ramped up my nervous system into excitement. My mind started spinning and I had trouble sleeping. Big thanks for pointing out that this way of practicing the MCO is actually not healthy!

hi. can i know who this other teacher is. thanks.
Hello Damo, I am happy I finally heard the words of someone who knows what he's talking about regarding this topic. I have been dealing with such misunderstandings with students for so many years during my own seminars and teachings. Once again I find it really comforting the fact that not all "modern taoists" out there are totally out of control, to say the best 😮💨. Glad KZread showed me this one video of yours. My best wishes for your teaching and for your own practice.
A phenomenal, clear, content rich, structured and precise yet apparently effortless presentation. Wu Wei all the way
Remarkable presentation. You are very detailled and pedagogical and I am thrilled to listen to you. Very grateful for this vidao ;-).
Wow this is genius, perfect wisdom, I have been looking for this explanation for years. Endless thank you 🙏

I like the way you explain the principals of this art. I used to follow Master Mantak Chia but I sometimes don't understand what he means eventhough I've learned a lot of things from him. You are muche more specific
So nice you giving this for free

In my pratice of the microsmic orbit i came to realize absorption. In absortion theres no thoughts just attention in consciousness theres a feeling of fullness in the body like you have dressed all of the body fully and a external feeling of flow of energy like a cool breeze. And then i realize that attention brings to consciousness the totality of what she touches, and my mind become and organ of perception. Mind can than in all dimensions/bodies (causal, mental superior, mental, emotional, energetical, fisical) can gain the exact form of the object of observation. So you can see the totality. Through absortion you can be awer of the individual and collective unconscious. Maybe this is the body of law. Because you can perceive truth and feel the sutle inteligence of life. After all we are life. (there are more signs that accompany this state of awerness) You're a great teacher is the first time I've seen anyone teach the true microsmic orbite. I say true teaching because it is described from the direct experience of perception of what goes on inside the body in sensory terms the microsmic orbite practice. Please can you to talk about your view in relation with the chakras.
Thank you very much. Lifechanging. 🙏
Great stuff, really feeling it and relating. Superb videos.
Thank you so much Damo.
Damo has helped me become an Immortal. I am eternally grateful.
If the video links aren't showing on the website (video 2 was missing for me), just do a right-click and view page source. Search "youtube" and then you can find the link to the KZread video in the HTML.
Could you also go into the taoist view and process of the chakras, and maybe kundalini?....I know you go into it in your books....but would be great having it in this format....
THANK YOU, this is awesome.
Thank you! This is a Journey my Soul has brought me to in order to finally Remove all of the TRAUMA that is w/in my Spirit & Tissue. Namaste`💙💜💚💛🌹🎤

Tumne try kiya kya microcosmic orbit meditation?
Very helpful, thank you 🙋🏽♂️
Fantastic lecture! As a lifelong Lucid Dreamer and Qigong practitioner. I often transition from wakefulness to Lucid Dreaming via circulating in the Orbit AND THEN circulating my entire awareness in it, like doing somersaults under water. There's then a feeling of separation from my physical body. I've often wondered if that's akin to the "Immortal Fairy" and Golden Embryo step in Xi Sui Jing. My main question to Mr. Mitchell is this: You say that semen retention and the circulation of sexual energy doesn't have much or anything to do with Small Cyclic Heaven. Could you please elaborate on why such a large swath of Classics claim otherwise? Much of what's been released by The Tower of Fragrance, for example, all talk about Yi (mind intent) leading Qi in the Orbit, and almost all Taoist schools, from Golden Elixir Large Way to the Plant and Graft School all prescribe 90 days of celibacy for success opening of Du and Ren channels. I was wondering if you elaborate on this in your course or elsewhere. Thanks. And Happy New Year!

Indeed, one third of our daily energy levels are in that little amount of fluid . The act of " Coitus Interuptus " , interupting the flow of the ejeculation , opening a special valve in the coitus , that allows us to redirect the fluid up into the sacral cavity , a resovior of fluid that is pumped up through the spine , ( conduit for kundalini ) and up around the brain as protective and conductive fluid . As men we can pump the perenium anus andpc muscles , as we orgasim , to initiate this internal mechanism , so few are aware of , and retain both the psychic energy and phisical benifits of retaining the seed , nourishing the spine from within , and aiding the conductivity , by utilising the sexual force , instead of denying it . :) So try fast pumps of the perenium and anus as you orgasim , and when nothing comes out , your doing it right . A drip here or there can happen but , generally we can hold it all , redirect it back into the sacral cavity , and as the sacrum moves it will naturally circulate up the spine , nourishing your spine , and aid in raising kundalini , by improving conductivity of the spinal fluid . :)
I was “doing” microcosmic orbit and definitely feeling some benefit from it. However after watching this video made me curious about your curriculum and am now practicing the anchoring the breath. Mind blowing! I want to do this correctly. This video says 1/14. Where do I find the other 13 videos.

Hi Damo, I’m just starting out and find the first practice very good, anchoring the breath into the kidney area. Can I help it by pulling the perineum up slightly and flattening the lower back, breathing into it? Also can I use the breath cycle to get a feel for the rising up in the back (inhaling) and down the front (exhaling)? And lastly, tucking the chin in slightly, stretching the neck, can swallowing the saliva help to relax and drop the front? 🙏
Damo I forgot to ask, what is the difference between your mentioning of the Shen and the Soul(Hun/Po). My understanding from various taoist sources is that the Po soul dies along with the body whereas the Hun soul lives on according to Chinese esoteric knowledge. I'm just wondering what occurs to the Hun soul even if someone does manage to successfully complete the whole MCO process from end to finish as you outlined.
Hi, why don't we visualise? Is it because the mind binds us to the ego, and what we are trying to do is be present in the body?
Great intro thank you- Are all the parts of the discourse going up on youtube? Glad it is going here I was struggling to get it on the website for some reason.
May i ask if the arts that you teach were created by people who were trying to achieve enlightenment? Or were they created by people who were attempting to find a path to enlightenment?
Body is a microcosm of the mind.
Could you please make a video about Zhan Zhuang???
Has the link for "Harvesting the Yang" on the MO course gone dead? The next installment on the ming line seems fine.
Very clear and informative. And quite different in approach to other teachings I’ve heard on the micro cosmic orbit. Where can the full series be found?
How do you close it for good? Struggled since I was a teen and opened it. Constant discomfort. I close it but touch my belly anytime and it opens. Wish I never read chias book...biggest regret ever.
Wow...Thank you so much :D
Would the flow of energy in the microcosmic orbit, that balances those hour to hour variarions of Yin and Yang, lead to a greater emotional balance (supposing the person already balanced their lifestyle enough for the breath to anchor naturally)?
Can I do this before I am finished with the prepatory Sung Breathing Exercise in your first book?
May I ask what version of the Secret of the Golden Flower you are referencing? Would love to read! :)
Thank you for thus clarification. I am searching for the next Parts to this and I don't see them. Help!
Would it be correct understanding that the concept of 'Qi' could be explained as the transfer of electrical current (taken from a battery/reserve tan tien?) through the nervous system caused by intent from the mind which acts on the muscles (and other systems) corresponding to where the intent is focused? I have recently been trying to practice Emei Mountain Snake Qigong - kzread.info/dash/bejne/a358qdyzYdetfKw.html and through these motions I can manipulate parts of the muscle, independent of the main muscle of which they are a part whereas before I was only able to operate the muscle as could be described as 'normal'. When I concentrate my intent on moving a part of my body, especially the fingers, but not actually moving it I can feel a pressure/sensation which is a little bit like tingling with the feeling that I can initiate motion really quickly. Is this 'Qi'? I can focus this almost anywhere (mostly). So, if 'Qi' is considered to be synonymous with electricity then the purpose of Qigong would be to * Enlarge the electrical storage capacity * Increase the voltage/strength of the current * Gain conscious control over the electricity I would be grateful for your comment.
Brillant
Almost wish I hadn't seen this lol as I'm just in the beginning of forming my Dan Tien.
Ive been mind sensing points along the ren and du meridiens in a circular motion. Often at the "third eye" I would feel a spot there expand. Tried not to dwell on it but it felt cool. Any thoughts ?
I am confused about the not visualization concept. Because On the books and videos of Mantak Chia it was told otherwise??? @DamoMitchell

Hey Damo. I remember my Huang Xin Xiang lineage teacher telling me, as he was teaching us the up and and down exercise, this was something that can "get you from here to over there" as he pointed to the other side of the room. Not sure what he meant by that. What's your stance on that? Is it possible, if you've reached a high enough level to launch your self through the air with vertical fa-jing like that? I assume that's what he meant. Cheers bro!
