Thank you for your explanation. I’ve also been researching this field. Currently, I’ve concluded that acquired（后天之气） qi is roughly related to the nervous system, and I’m still studying innate qi（先天之气）. My research is mainly based on the body’s actual feedback, with a focus on addressing minor physical issues such as rhinitis and otitis media. So far, my practical case studies include the role of qi regulation in aiding pre- and post-exercise recovery, and methods to quickly relieve nasal congestion. Other areas are still under research since I’m new to this field. By the way, my master has recognized the value of these research efforts, though they haven’t yet reached the level of being formalized into a thesis. Regarding innate qi and acquired qi, their names vary across different schools or lineages, but they both refer to the same concept of qi. 翻译要点说明

Then what differences do you think exist when viewed from a microscopic perspective?

Yeah, Horse Stance is for training lower body stability, while Standing Meditation builds overall body stability. When you pair Standing Meditation with breathing, that’s Neidan Breathing Method—its main goal is to guide acquired qi to clear and activate the body’s entire energy network. What do you think of this understanding of mine?

I’m a beginner! I found answers in books, but I’ve got a few questions about your discussion. Shouldn’t everyone have a Dantian? Why do you all even need to "build" one? Like Pak Satrio—a seasoned practitioner who commented earlier—said: if you keep practicing diligently, you’ll activate your Dantian someday. Plus, activating Dantian doesn’t affect jumping at all! We have Taoist masters here who can jump a few times straight up to 3 meters high—there’s real video footage to prove it!

I’m a beginner, and I was wondering—do you know the difference between Horse Stance(马步） and Standing Meditation（站桩）？

你们都有这样一个历史悠久的社区，我非常喜欢这里的氛围。谢谢大家~

Hey everyone! I'm a total newbie who's only been practicing for 8 months. Yeah, I haven't been at it long, but my teachers are all super solid practical cultivators. My main gig is Dan Dao cultivation, combined with TCM health practices. Right now, I've got a bunch of hands-on theoretical know-how when it comes to working with acquired qi. I specialize in the Southern School of Dan Dao. Since my teachers are total pros, if you've got any questions, I can help ask them for you—just saying, it's only about helping pass along questions. Cultivating Dao's your own thing, y'know? Everyone's body's different, so the ways to practice vary too, but the real-world check-ins at each stage are the same for everyone. I go mostly by physical feelings and how my body reacts—no metaphysical stuff for me. Thanks everyone~ The first post was written by Claude, but it had some major issues. That's why I rewrote this one myself. It might have some casual local lingo—feel free to point out anything that's off. Thanks a ton! I specialize in female Neidan practice. For male cultivation stuff, I can always ask my teachers for you. My English isn't perfect, so you might catch some awkward phrasing or machine translation vibes. Feel free to point it out—no worries!

"Thank you! (And apologies if my title sounds a bit awkward - still getting used to English forum etiquette! 😊)"

Hi everyone, I'm new to Daoist cultivation and Neidan practice, and I'm here to learn from all of you. I'm fortunate to have found teachers in real life who have been practicing for many years. They've been guiding my practice and helping me understand what I'm experiencing. I'm excited to exchange ideas and learn together with everyone here. If any questions come up that I can't answer, I'd be happy to ask my teachers (with their permission, of course) and share what they say. Looking forward to being part of this community! Thank you!
