Month 10

Part 1: Diaphragm and Neck

1. Relax body and breath (3 sets of ten-10 second breaths), Remain present
2. Balance liver and spleen as in previous month using 3 to 1 or 1 to 3 breathing methods.
3. Balancing the diaphragms front and side limits—and locate the balance point that unites them
Your diaphragm drives your breathing.
Find the feeling that triggers the balance between your front and sides of your diaphragm
What is the connection between the movement of the front and sides of your diaphragm and the movement of your belly? How can you remain present?

Review how the diaphragm works
Does the diaphragm move fully forward and to the sides.

4. Begin by tapping the front of your diaphragm, like gentle rain, awaken the nerves connected to your diaphragm
–Is the front freely moving?
–If not, adjust and correct what’s missing. Keep tapping
–Create and build an internal monitoring system.

5. Next without physical touch, use your mind to direct your body.
Diaphragm stretches with each inhale and exhale.
Emotional issues are related to your diaphragm.
Recognize and store the memory
Breath into the areas that are stuck

6. Collapsing of 4 body areas kicks off distraction
–Kwa-lifted or collapsed?
–Midriff –lifted or collapsed?
–Ribs –lifted and spreading?
–Neck & Head—straight and not improperly tilted?
Recognizing if something is off and taking you out of the present
How are each of these signals connected to the front and sides of your diaphragm? Decreasing or diminishing your presence. Store it in your memory.

7. Tapping front and sides of your diaphragm
When you encounter a point that is stuck, breath into it and stretch it
Press much deeper into your diaphragm, steadily pressing your fingers a few millimeters to the front and to the side
With both hands, spread your fingers and stick them into front and sides of your diaphragm, gather feedback, keeping hands in there, you can get a clear idea of how your diaphragm affects your ability to stay present.

8. Then have your mind feel this same process. And do all simultaneously—Kwa, midriff, ribs, neck and head, front and sides of diaphragm.

Month 10 Part 2

Arrival at a Crossroads: Paying attention to subtle emotions.
Recognize that people emotionally deny most everything. Over time, bit by bit you recognize what’s really going on inside you.
Get a general sense of what this “something” is. Subliminal emotions are the hidden driving power that enables emotions to take over your life.
Pay attention to the vague.

This phase of working with your subliminal emotions and your energy bodies is the entry level to the Lao Tse Water Tradition of Meditation
Recognize energy blockages related to the emotional, mental, psychic, karmic, and essence levels of your being. In these energy bodies much of what needs to be dissolved can only be recognized by the extremely subtle energy signatures which you then trap until you fully dissolve, resolve, and are free of them and unleash the spiritual potential that was locked inside them.

1. Continue front and side breathing
Do your best to align the center of your head over the center of your pelvis.
Continue to lift your kwa, midriff, and ribs.
Keep neck and head straight and not tilted.

2. Each new day alternate your focus between a yin emotion and a yang emotion.
Positive then negative in matched pairs. Do this for 2 minutes for each emotion (use a stop watch or a clock)

Joy/ Anger
Fear/ Self confidence
Angst/ Satisfaction
Kindness, Generosity, Forgiveness along with their contrasting emotions.
