Insight on The Small Heavenly Circle

4/19/2017

Following is a re-post of an excellent article on the Small Heavenly Circle, or Microcosmic Orbit.  This practice is of interest to me but at the same time is very mysterious and ambiguous.  I have often not felt comfortable with some teachers' explanations and teachings on this subject, even though I have had no informed reason to feel this way.  Regardless, my bullshit detector has often been aroused.  So, I am still curious and still searching for further understanding.  The following post has shed a good bit of light on the subject for me, if to no other end than to clarify what the practice is not.  I thought I would share:

"This is a massive area, and I cannot do justice to the full width and breadth of issues surrounding this topic in a single blog post. I will however, attempt to hit on some of the most common and prevelant issues.
The 小周天 xiao zhou tian (small heavenly cycle), or 河車 heche (river vehicle) are the two most common terms for what is most often referred to in English as “micro-cosmic orbit”, itself a translation of xiao (small) zhou (rotation) tian (heaven)."
