Fourth Energy Center: Chang-Chiang (Coccyx)

The fourth energy center point is the Chang-Chiang (Woii Lui) at

the coccyx. This point is very important because it is here that the

power is either returned to the body or lost. When the generative

power (sperm power) is returned, it passes through this canal and

into the spinal cord and then to the brain. This has been called the

Passage to the Door of Life and Death because it is here that the

“warm current” is said to enter the central nervous system.

When you have concentrated for some time you may feel a

sensation of warmth and pressure rise up into the coccyx through

the many nerve endings and the eight holes, which in the esoteric

system are called the holes of the soul. The first level, opening the

Microcosmic Orbit, may be said to be the preparation of the way.

The energy that passes here is the real sperm and ovary power

and is the energy of the life force that is produced in the body and

cells. The second level trains the chi to move along 34 additional

routes and involves the cleaning of the organs. In the third level sperm or ovary power is awakened and transformed into a higher

level of “chi power”. This “power” pushes its way upward in through

the coccyx. At that time some people may feel a needle-like pain.

Some may report having a feeling of tightness there and others will

be aware of something pushing its way inside. With continued practice

the “power” or “warm current” pushes higher and higher. It will

help you to open the point much more easily if you rub the coccyx

with a soft cloth until you feel warmth there and then sit down to

practice concentration.
