1. We first learn the Testicle/Ovarian breathing technique emphasizing the expansion of the lungs, kidneys and belly, and finally the testicles
2, At the end of inhalation contraction, we contract the prostate and brain center with the additional help of the tongue pressing on the palette.
3.We relax on the exhalation, but making sure to keep the energy contained and not dispersing,
Though the Du Meridian is considered the most yang of meridians, and the Ren Meridian the most yin of meridians, if we take into account not only their main pathways but also their various branches, we find that, already, the two meridians—in their balanced, healthy states—are functioning in a way quite similar to the interpenetrating and cyclic flowing of the Microcosmic Orbit.
As the great 16th-century Chinese acupuncturist/herbalist Li Shi-Zhen writes:
”The Conception and Governing vessels are like midnight and midday, they are the polar axis of the body … there is one source and two branches, one goes to the front and the other to the back of the body … When we try to divide these, we see that yin and yang are inseparable. When we try to see them as one, we see that it is an indivisible whole.”

The microcosmic orbit (小周天), also known as the Self Winding Wheel of the Law, is a Taoist Qigong energy cultivation technique. It involves deep breathing exercises in conjunction with meditation and concentration techniques which develop the flow of qi along certain pathways of energy in the human body which may be familiar to those who are studying traditional Chinese medicine, Qigong, T’ai chi ch’uan, Neidan and Chinese alchemy. The exercise can be performed usually at first in a sitting position, but it can also be practiced standing as in Zhan zhuang or with movements included as with T’ai chi ch’uan.
The clear understanding of the microcosmic orbit technique is very important not only because of its historical context in the story of Chinese alchemy but because it is at the heart of many Taoist forms of exercise performed throughout the world by many millions of people today.
