voidisyinyang Posted January 20, 2019 Quote “the right hand grabs the white tiger, left hand grabs the green dragon,” https://books.google.com/books?id=9CDSu89LQXMC&pg=PA1273&lpg=PA1273&dq=left+hand+grabs+the+dragon+right+hand+grabs+the++tiger+arthur+t.+orawski&source=bl&ots=582xJ_ShoG&sig=ZXpdygQnanRYvwhuBzXIapwqNTw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjygYW8soHaAhXp34MKHcZZD6UQ6AEIKTAA#v=snippet&q=white tiger&f=false So the white tiger is the yang qi, and the green dragon is yin qi. You start out with the moving of yin and yang position. Quote Bring your right hand up to about the level of your mouth, palm facing towards the body. Bring you left hand up to about the level of your belly button, with your left palm facing towards the body. Your feet will remain flat on the ground during the entire exercise. Pause in this Wuji position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The right side of the body, right arm, right leg, is Yin. The left side of the body, left arm, left leg, is Yang. The right hemisphere is Yin, controls the left side of the body - Yang. The left hemisphere is Yang, controls the right side of the body - Yin. The Chongmai meridian (Thrusting) consists of 5 currents of Qi flowing up and moving the Sea of Marrow. The middle one is also called the Taiji Pole. The left one is Yang, the right one is Yin. The front one = internal branch of Renmai. The back one = internal branch of Dumai. The right and left currents criss-cross at the meeting point of Renmai and Dumai and the Third Eye. All these currents start at Huiyin and end at Baihui. Left and right currents after starting from Huiyin go through left Kidney (Source of Yang Qi - Celestial Fire of Life) and right Kidney (Source of Yin Qi - Celestial Water of Life). After Mother's Yin and Father's Yang meets inside the Mother's Womb, the embrion starts to grow, during this growth all the Chongmai currents start flowing up. After being born, during maturization, the Water cycle is happening, Qi flows up through the Renmai and down through the Dumai. When you are an adult it is reversed = the Fire cycle - Dumai flows up, Renmai down. During the Microcosmic Orbit you work with this Fire cycle. The left and right currents are actually Ida and Pingala, they criss-cross also at the rest of the chakras which in Taoist tradition are called Qi Lun (Seven Wheels), Qi Huo (Seven Fires) or Qi Ding (Seven Cauldrons), some Taoist sects have 12 chakras, those 7 plus external ones, beneath and above the body - Jerry A. Johnson is describing them in his books. The left current after criss-crossing at Renmai/Dumai meeting point go through the right nostril, right eye, criss-cross at the Third Eye and ends in Baihui. The right current after criss-crossing at Renmai/Dumai meeting point go through the left nostril, left eye, criss-cross at the Third Eye and ends in Baihui. In TCM because of Nanjing, the left Kidney was Yin (Kidney proper), and the right Kidney was Yang (Mingmen), later during the Ming dynasty it evolved - Mingmen Yang Fire is between both Kidneys, which both are Yin Water. The Yin Yang classification depends on the point of view and usage. If you are right handed, then your right hand is Yang, based on the activity, not the Qi physiology.
