Twelfth Energy Center: Shun-Chung (Heart)

The heart center, the center for rejuvenation, for love and joy, is

located mid-way between the nipples at the thymus gland, is an

extremely vital point that is easy for most people to focus on. This

will be dealt with extensively on the fifth level of the Tao Esoteric

Meditation. Concentrating here very quickly leads to great stores

of energy, and so many people tend to concentrate longer on this

point. You must exercise caution here, when you collect heat and

concentrate too long, the energy is reabsorbed in the pericardium

(a fibro-serous sac which surrounds the heart) and cause the heart

to beat faster. As a result there will be difficulty in breathing and

pain in the chest on the upper left side and in the sternum.

Do not concentrate here too long when you feel warmth or feel

your chest extended.
