Eleventh Energy Center: Hsuan-Chi (Throat)

The Hsuan-Chi is the energy center of the thyroid and parathyroid

glands. Concentrating here will often cause coughing or difficulty

in breathing. When the energy pushes up through the throat and

enters the mouth some people have been known to cough up dark,

sticky mucous. This is considered to be characteristic of the clearing

of this energy center and this leads to a free flow of energy from

the throat to the tongue. Most people feel more calm and less worried

when this energy flows from the navel up to the throat and to

the tongue and with no congestion in the chest. They are simply

freed of stress in opening the route. It does not mean that they will

never have any worries or anxiety but that they will feel more calm

and will be able to sit and concentrate more easily.

In this level we are linking all the energy centers together; not

opening or cultivating the center (chakra) of the Microcosmic Orbit.
