Chin Lu -- The Golden Stove, Seat of Eternal Life
a great thunderous rumble shaking the earth depths
a primordial resonance being felt deep in the skin
shivering the Kundalini Spine ridge-pole
sending a tremulous shock wave rush
spiral Ida/Pingala nerves coiled Tao Tien
the Cinnabar field of rich red turbulance
the Solar Plexic Caldron
brewing psychic lightning bolts
zig-zag power perferations
getting to the Root of the Matter
ch'i/prana equals life-energy
found near the end of the spine
the remnant of ancestor tail
it warms the body thru its circulation
being directed in circles
great pinwheels of trailing light
flicker faint star dust
the spirit of Mercury feather feet
the first gate is at the base of the spine - wei lu
second gate is up backbone to kidneys - chia chi
third gate, back of head - yu ch'en
fourth gate right before/as reaching the brain - ni wan
it then flows down the front to be fired in
the Yu Ting (Precious Caldron) only to return again...
the helix of this magic rides in all cells of Living Things...
the sage trudging in knee high snow
looking east for the Valley Spirit
which appears in his dreams
gathering twigs and small wood
he sets back for dry shrine
nestled in humble grove of tall bamboo
stirring green tea in the enchantment of it all
he alone circulates this Ch'i/prana/life-force
in the full presence of High Authority
resting in the seat of fire the Heart
focusing on Tsu Ch'iao the center of the brain - behind the eyes
Pineal Seed Source of All Visions
directed to the Grain-Pearl of Ancient Wisdom
by his insightly perception
he is bound for the Secret of the Golden Flower
being transported by the gentle breeze
Tigers Breath
Dragon gust
sailing on a silken thread
narrow path
Mountain Route....
