It can still be found on the web as far as I know, but I am not sure it is worth the trouble.

I have the PDF of the lessons, and I don't think it is worth it. I find it a bit sprawling and some of the exercises wasteful. They wait until the 12 month 36th lesson to teach MCO.  I supposed they needed to collect $30/month and keep ya waiting back in the 80s? I did like a lot of it, but it could have been taught in one go.

“The drawings shown on the front are reproductions from "Hsing-ming Chr Kwei" or "Meaning of Nature and Destiny". Written in 16th century, the book is used to explain meditative breathing techniques. The front view shows the centers of the involuntary circulation of Chi energy. The middle field of elixer (dan tien) is represented by a new moon and three stars, the yellow court by a square, and the lower dan tien by a cauldron. The right hand of the figure holds a moon, symbolized by jade rabbit. The left hand holds the sun, symbolized by a three legged bird. The three legs of the bird symbolize Heaven, Earth and Man. Sun and moon are the movers which bring about the circular movement of the energy in the body. The drawing on the back shows the centers of the controlled course of the energy circulation.

 

These drawings explain that Chi Energy will awaken when the yin and yang energies of the body are balanced. Postnatal chi derived from food and drink will then liberate prenatal chi stored in the bone and marrow.

 

"A spark will be born in the pot (abdomen) when cinnabar (elixir) is inside and mercury (spirit) is enough. After they are mixed the yellow seed (chi) is planted and will grow. You may laugh at the cauldron (cooking pot lower abdomen) but its drug is life so don't waste time on idle talk. You may laugh at the cauldron but its method is to cultivate the essence. (when the river is calm you will find the gem) My form is Shen Tai (spiritual). When the flower opens the news will be of the yellow seed. Refining the sexual essence must be controlled by the soul or else it is as if you are boiling an empty pot. The small figure fanning the pot represents "kindling the fire" by regulating the breath. The cauldron pot in which the essence is boiled (to become chi) is the lower abdomen (dan tien).”

 

Anyone have the videos? And most importantly, are they worth it? 🙏🙂
