Microcosmic Orbit – A Solution for Energy Pressure in the Head?

Taoism is one of the greatest resources for helping to heal stuck energy in the head. From Taoists I learned that energy travels up the spine along the back of the body, and spills over the head down the front of the body. Sometime this perfect circuit gets clogged, which can lead to sensations of stuck energy.

Many Taoists recommend an energetic practice called the Microcosmic Orbit to heal energy pressure in the head. This is especially true if the stuck energy is associated with kundalini.

I learned about the Microcosmic Orbit when I began my practice of Qi Gong. Someone suggested the Microcosmic Orbit to help release the energy pressure. I was fascinated by it, but felt immediately that I should NOT do it now.

I now speak daily with people from all over the world who experience stuck energy in the head. When I mention the microcosmic orbit, some people are immediately drawn to it and feel intuitively that it will help. Within a week, their head pressure is resolved and their energy is flowing properly.

I work with others who have energy pressure in the head as a result of doing the Microcosmic Orbit. Their energy bodies had too many blocks for the energy to circulate properly.

So, when it comes to practicing Microcosmic Orbit to alleviate energy pressure in the head – this really is an individual decision and the utmost discernment must be used.

My personal opinion is that when it comes to energy practices, err on the side of caution.

Before moving / circulating energy, it is best to purge and strengthen the energy channels. This is why I highly recommend releasing exercises and practices that strengthen the ren, or center meridian on the front of the body.

Once old energies have been purged and the major meridians strengthened, you can move on to circulating energy safely.
