THE MICROCOSMIC ORBIT
Open to the Divine Universal Flow
The Microcosmic Orbit, also known as the Small Heavenly Cycle, is a Taoist meditation practice that involves circulating energy through two of the body's primary energy pathways: the Governing Vessel, which ascends along the spine, and the Conception Vessel, which descends along the front of the body. This continuous loop of energy flow helps to balance and harmonize the body's vital life force, or Qi, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
