"The Colour of one's own rlung rta is in accordnce with the element in one's horoscope so that the rlung rta of each person is one of the five element colours.....(The Arrow and the Spindle...Pg 152)
"The Zijid explains that when someone is afflicted by poverty it is necessary to increase the cha and the yang." Rituals are described to summon the cha and yang present in the universe. (Norbu: 1995..pg 72)....
"In many Tibetan houses, a white dgra lha mask is always hung to insure good luck and prosperity for the family. A thangka showing the nine dgra lha is also hung." (Nebesky: 1956..pg 335)...
From: "The Five Elements In Tibetan Shamanism and Tantra" by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche..........
"Raising lungta or windhorse as part of sang practice is related with good fortune rather than with the soul. The life force "tsa lung" exercise is more related to your soul when the energy comes from every direction into your heart. Fortune does not come inward like that, but rises or lifts up. You have to feel your spirit lifted up in orderr to have good fortune. For these rituals you should go to the peak of a hill.
Spirit is connected with everything: soul, fortune and life force. Spirit is related with increasing all three: fortune, life-force, and the upward moving lung. Life force is what keeps the body and mind together. If you do not have life force, they separate and it results in death.
"The shrine is very important.....you burn the white copal to invite the spirits and the higher beings...Otherwise there is some kind of energetic interference. Some shrines have a lot of power.
The most subtle aspect is the life force, the soul, the life link.....We can speak of the soul being stolen, disturbed, damaged, unbalanced, or torn apart like a cloth. These are the images we have in the shamanic world....The soul is the most subtle balance of the five elements in an individual.
Soul retrieval is like charging one battery from another battery. The other battery is not losing, you are not stealing another's energy....When one or more of the elements are weak or missing it is called soul damage, soul loss......it can be spirit related or karma related......In order to bring back what you lost you do shamanic rituals, a "calling the soul" ritual......
The energetic forces are always there. Invoking basically means that you awaken them......Every life force has a soul. There is a Tibetan term that refers to the 'brightness of the life force'......

Tsa lung (Tib. rtsa rlung, channel[s] [and] prana) are special yogic exercises.The exercises are used in the Tibetan Bön tradition and the Nyingma and Drikung Kagyud schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
The exercises are used: to open major chakras and to bring the prana from the side channels into the central channel. That coincides with mind releasing dualistic misperceptions and abiding in non-dual awareness of rigpa (Tib. rig pa).
Detailed instructions on the exercises describe 3 levels of rtsa rlung: external....... internal...... "secret"....... Each level contains 5 exercises corresponding to five elements.
