Chunyi Lin has a powerful way to use a candle and a mirror when doing healing on yourself.

You can also use these powerful techniques on yourself to help heal yourself especially when you have a specific energy blockage. Simply stand or sit in front of a mirror with a burning candle in front of you or at the side.

Consider your reflection as your best friend and work on your reflection as if you were helping your best friend to heal. Begin by doing the Small Universe meditation, found in the Five Elements Self-Healing course. By moving energy around your torso in your mind as if you are doing the Small Universe, or by using your hands to open the Small Universe as if you were working on your friend.

Scan your reflection for energy blockages in the same way you would scan your friend. If you have a specific chronic problem such as a tumor or scar tissue, stare at the candle. Then close your eyes and visualize that the image of the flame that has been impressed on your retinas burning the blockage into ashes.

Do sword fingers and remove the blockage with your eyes opened or closed. Give energy back to the area. (It is very powerful to have a candle at the level of the blockage when you work on the blockage in the mirror.) If you do not have a chronic problem, have the candle situated so that it is at the lower dantian level.

Then work on any blockages that you have. This will give you more energy and help prevent blockages in the future.
