Alchemy or Nei Dan
starts when we can refine the raw Qi built in Qi Gong and get it deep into the cells of the body so the cells in turn can start producing the energy needed to touch upon and nourish our truer nature. Nourish it until our nature and later our connection to soul is established as the reference point for who we are.
Nei Gong is the process of internal, physical and mental change that we need to move through to even touch the fringes of Nei Dan or Alchemical practices.
Qi Gong is the main practice we use to move through this process. Your only concern in the beginning is to build the Dan Tian.
Gong is a quality established over a long period of time until it becomes an intrinsic part of who you are.
The results of a authentic Qi Gong practice are tangible. We set up the correct circumstances grounded in body mechanics and qualities of mind.
A key skill in the internal arts is your ability to step back from the clutter of your mind. An effective way to be able to do this is to establish an anchor ( a bio-magnetic field) at the base of the body, “The Lower Dan Tian”, where the mind can gravitate into. Hence the first step is to build the Dan Tian. Your only concern at the beginning is to build the Dan Tian. Once the Dan Tian has been built more Qi can start to circulate through the body.
Qi Gong and Nei Gong will make you more robust. More sensitive but not more fragile. However as our levels of Qi go up any distortions we all ready have will be magnified. We must therefore dedicate time to purge, nourish and regulate.
The process of Qi Gong:
-
Alignment / Build the frame
-
Release unnecessary tension
-
Open the joints and body
-
Allow the Qi to sink
- Awaken the Lower Dan Tian (Awareness, Centre of Gravity, Breath)
-
Consolidate the Qi in the Lower Dan Tian
-
Mobilise the Qi
-
Open the channels through pressure
- Create neutrality in the mind (equal attention & energy)
