Early Morning Meditation

I have finally, it would seem, become one of those legends who can get up at dawn everyday (well MOST days!) and do their meditation and Qigong before the world has awoken. I never used to be able to do this except randomly. I have not had a drink or smoke in five weeks though and really noticing how even the occasional beer or joint really messes with the finer subtleties of my practice.

Building my chi in Dan Tien up nice and strong and hot, hoping to get to point of micro-cosmic circulaton soon...my Grandmaster reccomends great caution before attempting this. he says it must be NOT be forced, but that your chi should be strong enough to circulate of it's own volition, with only subtle guidance from the mind. I am currently practicing drawing the chi up from my Dan Tien to my Heart chakra (what is chinese term for this?) then pumping it back down, this 'Boils the water' - i.e. builds up strong, hot chi.
