The Healing Energy of Shared Consciousness: A Taoist Approach to Entering the Universal Mind

By Mantak Chia

How to connect with universal energy for inner peace, happiness, and individual and global healing

• How to transform the energy around us into positive loving energy

• How to perform the World Link meditation to unite with global consciousness

• How to fuse the observing mind, the conscious mind, and the mind of awareness

Western science now recognizes the three “minds” associated with the three tan tiens of Taoism: the observing mind centered in the brain, the conscious mind centered in the heart, and the mind of awareness centered in the lower abdomen. By unifying the three minds--what in Chinese is called Yi--we can transform the energy around us into positive loving energy and be empowered to manifest our goals and dreams. This can lead to a more balanced, less negative way of life and offers a way to gain inner peace, wholeness, and happiness as well as the ability to heal yourself and others.

In The Healing Energy of Shared Consciousness, Master Mantak Chia shows how to fuse the three minds and form the Protective Sacred Circle of Fire, which creates a seal around us allowing in only good energy and intentions. He explains step-by-step how to perform the World Link meditation to connect with global and universal energy for inner peace, happiness, and healing. Accessible even for those who have never worked with the Universal Healing Tao, this practice offers a way to unite people all over the world in a form of shared consciousness that amplifies collective loving energy to benefit the world.

Introduction

My wish is for every person to be spiritually independent and to connect directly to the source, cosmos, primordial force, or creative force in our common quest for return to the Wu Chi (God). Through this process, we can gain inner peace and happiness. We can also gain the ability to heal ourselves and others, too. Naturally, the first step is to be at peace and to be happy with ourselves as we work to accomplish our goals. Therefore, I have devised this meditation practice, the World Link of Protective Healing, which becomes especially profound when the effect of its healing energy is amplified by many others in a circle of shared consciousness and awareness. In preparation for the World Link of Protective Healing, we always employ the use of the Protective Sacred Circle of Fire, which creates a protective seal that allows only good energy and intentions in. Negative energy cannot penetrate the circle. Once we are prepared, we look within to heal our own hearts, invoking different energies to purify and restore us, before we finally work on sending positive, healing energy out into the world.

The universe has an abundance of energy that can enhance and multiply our enjoyment of life. All that we need to do is to be connected to the source. Through this powerful meditation practice, we manifest the energy that resides in our three minds. The first mind is the observing mind, which is centered in the brain. The second is called the conscious mind, and it is centered in the heart. The third is the mind of awareness, and is centered in the lower abdomen, that is, the abdominal brain. The three minds combine to fuse together in the abdomen, creating one mind. In Chinese, this one mind is called Yi (pronounced ee). By encountering the world with a unified mind, we can create and transform the energy that is directed at us into positive energy. This can result in a more balanced, less negative energy for our culture and the institutions created to serve us.

The World Link of Protective Healing meditation practice is designed to move your awareness from operating primarily in your upper mind to more actively using your middle and lower minds as well. By moving your focus to different areas of your being, you will begin to uncover new aspects of your being, some of which you may not have been aware before. This causes an opening or space that allows for a new reality to exist. Ultimately, this will empower you to effect positive change not only in yourself but in your greater world. By accessing this new space, you allow your goals and dreams
