Juan Li – Energy Integrity and Psychic Protection Seminar in Moscow, 2013One very common problem encountered in energy work is lack of energy integrity due to poorly defined personal boundaries. This problem translates as being very easily affected by negative energies; extreme sensitivity to people and places; difficulty protecting personal property; being easily overpowered by strong personalities; going along with situations we do not agree and so on. All of these factors are indicators that the energy system and specifically, the energy centers along the Microcosmic Orbit are either blocked or lacking their proper frequency; as a result it is very difficult for the organism to maintain energy integrity. Buried emotions may generate the view that we are victims of circumstances or ‘unlucky’. Structurally, the person may lack proper connection with the energies of heaven and earth and as a result are ‘undercharged’ below their potential.The foundation for remedying these problems begins with connecting with the earth as a daily practice; working the meridian system more intensely through the Microcosmic Orbit; and the clearing of the emotional load to promote better flow through the Six Healing Sounds and Harmonizing the Five Elements 1. In addition, the excessive focus on oneself and one’s problems needs to be reduced by shifting the attention toward generating benefit and truly be of help to others. Paradoxically, it is when we shift attention from oneself that we can perceive our situation with greater clarity.If we try to generate integrity through methods setting barriers and walls or through some magical means the result is an increased sense of isolation and paranoia which furthers blocks the flow of the Creative Energy through the organism. Energy integrity is an expression of energy balance and cannot be forced with artificial methods which leave unaffected our negative emotional states.The ability to lovingly maintain our energy integrity translates as respect for the boundaries of others and a sense of being at ease anywhere and with anyone. Juan Li began his studies of self-development practices in 1970, upon graduation from Brooklyn College, in New York. He received a degree in Ancient Chinese History, specializing on the influence of the I Ching on Chinese culture. From 1971 he began in Nepal, where he resided for six years, the study of meditation, dream yogas and mantra with a series of Indian and Tibetan teachers. During this period his main teachers were Lama Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche of east Tibet, Lama Sangye Tenzing of Nepal, Lama Kongtrul Rinpoche of eastern Tibet and Yogi Nitaigiri Babaji of Orissa, India.From 1979 he began learning in Japan with Takizawa Sensei of the Shinto system centered on the sacred mountain of Iwakiyama. It is there that one of the teachers introduced him to the esoteric aspect of the I Ching. During this same period he began to study the Chinese martial arts with Sifu Sih Ho Chu who taught him two styles of Tai Chi and one of Kung Fu over a period of seven years.In 1982 he met Daoist Master Mantak Chia in New York, with whom began a long period of collaboration in the editing and illustration of twelve books. In 1996 Juan Li, together with Mackenzie Steward helped write and illustrate under the supervision of Master Mantak Chia, the book, The Inner Structure of Tai Chi.From 2008 he has been refining the practices on death and transcendence with Lama Ayang Rinpoche, from whom he received in 2009 the transmission of the True Nature of Mind in Bodhgaya India.The central practices of Juan Li are the dream yogas and mantra. One specialty he has been developing from the start of his journey has been the I Ching as a guide to the entire process of self development.Since 1988 Juan Li has been teaching the complete Daoist system in 16 different countries of Europe and the Americas. The teachings are developed utilizing the guidance of the inner structure of the I Ching. This approach to practice he has named ‘I Ching Dao’From 1996 he has specialized on the emotional, mental and psychic obstacles encountered by western practitioners, giving emphasis to the need to raise the level of consciousness instead of orienting the practices to seeking short term powers.At present he resides in the Canary Islands, in Spain, from where he has formed a group of instructors on the different levels of the I Ching Dao program.
