Neidan ☯︎ Qigong & Taoist Meditation

' The Secret within the Secret cannot be dispensed with from start to finish. This is the washing of the heart and the purification of the thoughts, which is termed Bathing...'
-- The Secret of the Golden Flower

In this video we explore Foundation Training from the Inner Alchemy Tradition of Neidan ☯️ We perform Meridian Stretching, Immortal Neigong Postures, and the Qigong Exercise 'Drawing the Spiritual Bow to Shoot the Moon' , which is healing for the Lung System and also Strengthens the Immune System - as you practice more, work to become aware of your breath, and develop the Subtle Breath - this means you do not make loud sounds when you inhale or exhale - and you develop a deep awareness to refine and guide the Breath to a Subtle State - which will feel like the breath is very thin and fine like a Silk Thread Over time, slowly begin to seek Union of the Mind, Breath and the Dantian Center - gaining Inner Harmony.

Entering the Path of Taoist Inner Alchemy Meditation, requires one to work on Transformation of the Body, Gaining Flexibility, Training the Mind Concentration, and Mastering the Process of Breathwork . When one gains a Good Foundation in Taoist Practice, the health will improve, one will feel more energetic, and also the process of Inner Energy Development starts to take place Transformation of the Body is one of the first areas we look at in Foundation Training. In the Taoist School this will focus on what is called 'Tendon Transformation and Marrow Washing'.

In the Taoist School the concept of 'Tendon' includes the ligaments, tendons, fascia tissues and the small inter-connective muscles. Marrow Washing is a concept that points to something deep and internal - Marrow can be thought of as a metaphor to mean the Heart Nature, One's Temperament and Disposition - Marrow Washing means to Purify the Heart and Refine Oneself --- the Mind becomes Still, One Reaches a Center Point, resting in a State of Inner Peace, Tranquility and Calm....
