  1. The practice of Neidan(內丹)

    2. 「煉氣」的要義(煉氣化神): 目的: 將煉精所得的元氣(真氣)進一步聚攏、薰蒸、溫養,並提煉成更細微、更光明的元神能量。 方法: 功法從有為(著意、調息)轉向無為(清靜、自然),主要透過**「凝神入氣穴」**,以神馭氣,使氣機停於中丹田,凝結成丹。 地點: 主要在中丹田(胸部,膻中穴附近,但在具體功法中多指心腎之間)。 Please bear with me, I have to do lots of work for clarification. Even to myself.
  2. I have been hearing that lot of newcomers that they have practicing or practiced Neidan. It just dawned on me with curiosity. How people do their practice or what they think that is? I would to hear their comments before I introduce the original Taoist method of Neidan. I mean in the Chinese version with the help of AI. I have been using Gemini AI which gives me a very good explanation in the Chinese language. However, one may tell it in any way just for the purpose of comparison only. Thanks!
  3. The practice of Neidan(內丹)

    後天之氣: 定義: 呼吸之氣(清氣)和水穀之氣(谷氣)的混合,日常所說的「力氣」多屬此類。 特性: 維持日常生理活動,但相對粗糙。
  4. The practice of Neidan(內丹)

    1. 氣的分類與位置: 先天之氣(元氣): 定義: 由先天之精轉化而來,是推動生命機能運作的根本動力。它彌漫全身,是維持生命活動的總能量。 特性: 這是內丹術在**「煉精化氣」**階段所採集和聚合的寶貴能量
  5. The practice of Neidan(內丹)

    「煉精」的要義(煉精化氣): 目的: 內丹術的核心之一,就是阻止後天之精的洩漏和消耗,並通過特殊的功法(如調息、採藥)將其逆轉、提煉,重新轉化為純淨的元氣,以補足生命之本。 地點: 主要在下丹田(臍下三寸,氣海穴附近)。 結果: 「精滿不思淫」,生命力得到鞏固,為下一步的煉氣打下堅實的「築基」基礎。 煉精化氣:築基固本工程 「煉精化氣」是內丹術三步功法中的第一步,其核心目的在於將人體的**「精」(生命物質基礎)提煉轉化為「氣」(生命活動動力),從而築基固本**,恢復和鞏固生命原有的活力。 一、 階段目標與意義 1. 補足虧損,恢復元氣 常人隨著年齡增長和慾望消耗,體內的先天之精(元精)不斷損耗。此階段的目標就是通過煉化後天之精(水穀精微、生殖之精)和其他精微物質,使其逆轉而生,補足先天的虧損。這如同給枯竭的油燈重新添油。
  6. The practice of Neidan(內丹)

    内丹术修炼概述 内丹术是中国道教的核心修炼方法之一,其目标是通过特殊的炼养方法,在人体内部**(内)炼成一个超越凡俗的丹体或丹药,以实现长生久视**(长寿和健康)乃至羽化登仙。 内丹修炼遵循“炼精化气、炼气化神、炼神还虚”这三个基本过程,简称“三步功法”。 AI have gathered and compiled the Chinese explanation of Neidan with crystal clear beyond any doubt. It is the best intellectual master piece I have ever encountered. There will be more coming. I will do my best to translate them.
  7. Hello

    Hello, welcome! Please don't just come and go. Hope you will stay longer.
  8. DDJ Ch. 70-81 a later addition?

    No, I don't think that is true. Wang Bi doesn't has the wisdom as Laotze.
  9. Longevity

    Yes, moments performing with slow motion while breathing deep into the LDT. That is Qigong. One might call it something else, but it was still Qigong. Whether you like it or not. All will benefit from it into the journey of longevity. Thanks!
  10. Western Origins of Yijing?

    Oh, I wish this OP was not initiated. It is just a waste of time talking about it.
  11. I hope I'll never find that out. 🤣 I wish you luck with success in your endless discovery. 🙏
  12. Longevity

    Yes, breathing is Qigong and it is what longevity is all about. People should get wise about it by now!
  13. Longevity

    How many times have I mentioned about mitochondria when I talked about Qigong? Now someone like @zerostao is really paid a lot attention to it.
  14. I was really hesitated to answer your questions. It is because there is no such thing as qi energy that someone can feel it. Not the first time nor the last. If someone told one did, one didn't feel it. If you want to feel the energy in you, that is after your diligent practice of any Qigong method if done properly. You will feel that your body energy has been increased tremendously. That is the real energy that you are really after. I respect your effort of what you are trying to do here. However, please don't try to catch the shadow of the wind here. Peace!
  15. Greetings from a Seeker of Tibetan Buddhist Traditions

    对不起,这个纲不是一个商业买实的地方!
  16. You want to Chinese origin.... I give it to you.
  17. Well, I'm glad that you are impressed. However, that is not what I want to hear from you. I thought you might ask how did you condition yourself to get to this point? I can tell you right now. You may looking for answer about Qigong. It is because people are telling you the same old thing. Like in the past and this thread. BTW There is one thing that was never mentioned to you. Hence, that is why you are standing at where you are now. I am where I am right now is not from coincidence. I had learned how to practice Qigong from the Chinese literature that had never told in the west. Even if it did, the westerners did not want to hear it. Unfortunately, they like to tell it the way they wanted to as people love to hear it and pay for it. I think that is why you are here asking all these questions and gone nowhere.
  18. Perhaps this might paint the full picture from the Qigong practice in the above post. One might feel the chi in the body and continuously releasing the body energy for 6 minutes without exhaustion.
  19. Perhaps you are looking for something like this!
  20. I still don't see the true definition of Qigong came out the discussion. One major criteria is just missing to be considered as Qigong! PS The line of questioning will not give you the answer that you want know, but only repeating what you heard before. It is only lead you back to day one.
  21. Even though you said you focus more on your LDT. It seems to me that you are more focus on your MDT unconsciously. Thus that's why you have such feeling.
  22. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    I will not argue about this with your preconceived idea. So, peace!
  23. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Okay, now we have 8 trigrams to symbolize the phenomena that was observed from nature. However, there was no written language in the ancient past. Therefore, only symbols were used as images to express some simple ideas. In our case, people saw water running down from top of the mountain. So, the water trigram was placed on top of the mountain trigram. Along the running water, it destroyed everything in its path. People see danger in water, hereinafter, people will be fear of water is dangerous. The hexagram also suggests that going the mountains is dangerous. When it was used in divination, the first thing they see is danger ahead.
  24. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    That is the positive side of the event. What about the negative side of it?
  25. What does 元亨利贞 really mean?

    Please read the question carefully. This is a pure study of the hexagram before the application of divination. The first step is to understand the fundamental concept of some basic hexagrams. Please keep in mind that the invention of Yijing was not intended for the purpose of divination.
