Test your Energy Flow

Exercise 1

Place your right palm on a part of your body at your choice. Feel the energy transfer between your palm and that part of the body (usually translated into a warmth sensation either on the palm or on the body, or both). When the energy transfer stops, the sensation of warmth will cease.

At this point, start practicing the Immortal Breathing exercise and observe if the transfer of energy restarts, without moving your palm from the same place. Keep performing the immortal breathing until you succeed to refuel the transfer of energy between your palm and your body.

(You can do the same exercise with a partner using both your perception and your partner’s perception, in order to prove that the exercise works well and it is not only your imagination).

Exercise 2
