Qigong 7 - Part 2

The advanced work in Nei Dan (Daoist Internal Alchemy) continues with the transmutation of purified generative energy (jing) into vital energy (qi). In this retreat, we will accomplish the following stages of alchemical work: Preparing the lower and middle cauldrons for the Immersion of Fire in Water. Engaging the Microcosmic Orbit circulation to hold the fires in the Governor and Function Meridians. Applying the cycle of the Firing Process to activate the Thrusting Meridian. Drawing the lunar energy into the body. Stoking the lunar fire for the transmutation of purified jing into qi. When purified generative energy is transmuted into vital energy, the first stage of advanced work in Nei Dan will be complete.
