Sit on the floor with your legs crossed so that your ankles are touching. Then, cross your wrists and grab the calf opposite of your arm. (I.e. right arm grabs left calf.) The purpose of crossing your wrists and ankles is to hold or contain the ki energy you are going to harness, so that it cannot escape through the two openings of your body (palm of hands and soles of feet).

When you can not hold your breath any longer, empty your lungs and as you do so, visualize the waste air leaving your body to be re-charged by the Earth. Repeat this cycle, going each time slower and deeper as you do it. The energy you develop here will be your "fuel tank" or "reserve" energy that you will use when you practice a ki technique.

If your body starts to vibrate, do not be alarmed. It sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't. It depends on how much energy you are taking in. If you start in any way to feel sick or odd, STOP performing this meditation until the feeling goes away. Perform daily for maximum benefit.

This technique was made by me, MisteryShadow, and can be distributed as necessary as long as a link is made back to my page.
