The Principle of Su-Seung-Hwa-Gang (Water Energy Up, Fire Energy Down)

Three And Four Form A Circle, Five With Seven Makes One Whole Way-Less Is The Way All Comes And All Goes, Features Are Changing, And Change-Less Is The Maker Su-Seung-Hwa-Gang (Water Energy Up, Fire Energy Down) refers to the direction in which energy must flow in the body in order to create harmony and a healthy balance. Water energy must travel up the meridian along the spine, while fire energy must travel down the meridian along the centerline of the front of the body. This is the optimal state of energy flow.

The “Three” in the first line above refers to the three main inter-nal Chakras, the 2nd, the 4th, and the 6th. The “Four” in the first line above refers to the four external Chakras, located on each of the palms and the bottoms of both feet. The external Chakras locat­ed in the center of each palm are called “Jang-shim,” and the exter­nal Chakras located in the center of each foot are called “Yong-chun.” When the three major internal Chakras and the four exter­nal Chakras are working as one circle (Sung Hwan), the body is filled with free flowing, life-giving energy in accordance with the direction of Su-Seung-Hwa-Gang (Water Energy Up, Fire Energy Down).

The “Five, Seven, and One…” in the line above refer to the 5th, 7th, and 1st Chakras. When these Chakras, which are the three gates of life (to be explained later), are connected with the other four internal Chakras (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th), and with the four major external Chakras, the life force within us will flow freely, bringing infinite creativity and joy to the soul.
