With the quiet Qi mind, all your wishes come true out of nothing. Bringing Ten Thousand Thoughts

There are two introductory skills of Taoist inner elixir: the first step is to refine oneself, and the sign of its success is that the Dantian Qi is warm, the kidneys are fried like soup, and the Qi moves and guides the pulse. The second step is to build the foundation, and the symbol of its success is Qi Tong Rendu. After that, it enters the acquired state and returns to the innate state, and all conditioned methods cease to exist. The civil and military methods of refining essence by fire, collecting large and small medicines and other promising methods spread in society are all specious.

When we practice inner alchemy, we must first start with the method of action and understand the wonderful principles of heaven and earth and yin and yang. The day after tomorrow is action, the innate is nothing. The day after tomorrow belongs to Yang and movement, and there is Yin and stillness in Yang. It is inherently yin and quiet, and there is yang and movement in yin. Acquired is transformed into innate, that is, yang is transformed into yin. The yin in the acquired yang is transformed into the yang in the innate yin, which is the so-called "the Tao reaches nothingness and generates a qi", "nothing is created", and "the stillness is in motion". When the inner alchemy practice reaches the state of returning to the innate state, all acquired methods and ways of thinking no longer exist. Only at this time can the practitioner truly enter the door of inner alchemy.

Nowadays, the civil and military methods of inner alchemy, including refining essence with fire, collecting large and small medicines, and passing three passes, are widely circulated in society, which are promising methods. When the practitioner returns to the innate state and the innate vitality appears, if he uses the Youwei method to refine his qi, wouldn't he fall behind again? Everyone does not know how important the role of the innate true intention (primordial spirit) is here.

In the foundation building stage, the Qi is connected to Rendu. The Qi at this time is called Yingwei Qi and Hunyuan Qi. After the two meridians of Ren and Du are opened, you can then practice the state of tranquility, which is what Laozi calls "reaching the extreme of emptiness and maintaining tranquility." When it is extremely still and moves, when Yang is born, it is the time when the innate ancestral Qi of the Yuan Dynasty arrives. At this time, the profound entrance is opened, and the method adopted requires forgetting all thoughts, waiting for nothing, and reflecting the true meaning in the trance, and the true energy is lingering. When the innate Qi is sufficient, use the true intention to guide the innate Qi to walk in the two meridians of Ren and Du opened by Hunyuan Qi. Once the innate Qi is able to travel in the veins, the process of returning to the innate Qi begins, thus officially entering the stage of inner alchemy practice.

1. Tips for self-refinement

Sit cross-legged to calm your mind and relax naturally. The lips and teeth are lightly closed, and the breathing is slow

The hands must be firmly held, the eyes must be straight, gather the divine light, and reach the heart of heaven

Enter the mud ball and lower it to the air hole. If it persists, it will be used infrequently

The Dantian is warm and the kidneys are like decoction. The flow of Qi leads to the pulse, and the power of practicing oneself is complete

The method of cultivating oneself: When the body and mind are adjusted to the required level, then slowly bring the light of your eyes from the distance to Tianxin (between the two eyebrows) , while gently closing your eyes. Light Gathering Heavenly Heart is also called returning light, which recovers divine light into Heavenly Heart. Then guide this divine light into the Niwan Palace in the brain, and then slowly lower the light from the central channel down to the air points. The Qi point here is located between the two kidneys, seven points behind the navel and three points in front of the Ming Gate. Perform abdominal closed breathing method: when inhaling, the air enters the nostrils and is slowly inhaled, sinking to the air points, while the entire lower abdomen and two kidneys expand slightly outward. When the breath is seven-quarters full, close the breath and focus on guarding the air points. The breath holding time should always be done with no force. When exhaling, the air is slowly exhaled through the nose. Relax your abdomen. The two kidneys will be as hot as soup. This is the activation of essence in the kidneys and is about to go out. If there is any sign that the essence is moving on its own, this is the critical moment to immediately guide the essence to move around and guide the pulse. After the belt pulse is opened and smooth, the Dantian Qi is sufficient. Once you have done your work, you will know its effectiveness. If you practice yourself, you will succeed, and you will build the foundation according to your actions.

2. Foundation-Building Tips

If the Dantian is full of Qi, you can supervise and take charge simultaneously. Prevent danger and worry about danger, run according to the pulse

Circulate throughout the day and smooth the body.

Qi returns to the Dantian, and the result is Fa Ming

When the Qi in the Dantian is sufficient, transport the Qi through the three passes of the Du Channel (Weijian, Jiaji, and Yuzhen) into the Niwan, and then descend along the Ren Channel Middle Dantian, and then lower to Lower Dantian. In this way, the circulation is endless, and the veins are smooth. At this time, the whole body is full of energy, the eyes are bright, the complexion is rosy, the energy is sufficient, and the foundation is completed.

In the foundation building stage, when Qi Tong is appointed as the governor, you must beware of dangers. Gradually open up the three levels of the Governor Vessel. Do not be impatient or agitated, otherwise the Qi and blood will flow randomly and go astray. This stage specializes in cultivating the Hunyuan Dantian Qi. This Qi can not only strengthen the body, but also treat illnesses and injuries, and can also be used in martial arts. If luck is in the chest and abdomen, it can withstand blows from fists, feet, and sticks; if luck is in the palm of the hand, it can open monuments and crack stones.

The above Taoist inner alchemy skills avoid the general mystery, and the theory is easy to understand. If you practice at 2 o'clock in the afternoon in autumn and summer, the effect will be immediate. Recite them all and think about them all the time.

Cultivation of the heart internally and cultivation of the body externally. You are full of energy and vitality. I hope this exercise can help you strengthen your body, become masculine and courageous, and bring you endless blessings
