    Neidan Qigong

    Neidan qigong means inner elixir energy practice. This form purifies and
    tonifies the three dantian and circulates qi to nourish the natural process of
    internal alchemy. This practice should be coupled with daily zuowang
    meditation (sitting & forgetting) and a healthy, moderate lifestyle including a
    balanced diet, regular sleep, and not too much stress or agitation. Relax and
    trust the natural process

    Purging and Cleansing


    Stand comfortably, feet under hips or together, arms, legs, and spine relaxed,
    breathing naturally into the belly, arms relaxed to sides, mind empty and calm.
    Let the tongue rest against the upper palate. Just stand like this for awhile
    until you feel settled and ready to proceed.
    Inhale, letting arms float up to sides, palms up, feeling qi rise up the back,
    until arms are above head, palms facing one another, embracing the qi of
    heaven.
    Exhale, dropping elbows, bring arms down in front of body, palms facing
    inward/down toward upper, then middle, then lower dantian and/or spine and
    internal organs, sending qi inward to bathe the dantian, organs, blood,
    marrow, specific injured areas or the entire body, letting everything settle
    downward, until arms rest down at sides.
    Repeat 3, 6, or 9 times

    Gathering Qi into the Dantian


    Inhale, drawing hands inward to touch lower belly, gathering the qi of earth
    into the lower dantian. You can visualize earth qi entering from below (legs,
    perineum) or cosmic qi entering from 10 directions into lower dantian, forming
    a single point of light. Natural, not forced, just like breathing air or swallowing
    food. Gathering has an inward focus; the senses and attention all turn inward.
    The skin softens and the belly fills. Exhale, relax arms out and down as feels
    natural. Repeat 3, 6, or 9 times.
    Inhale, drawing hands inward to touch the center of the chest, gathering the qi
    of all living things into your heart, the middle dantian. On exhale, relax hands
    forward and out to sides, palms forward, opening your heart to the world.
    Repeat 3, 6, or 9 times.

    Inhale, drawing hands inward to touch the top of the head, gathering the pure
    qi of illumination and bliss into the upper dantian. On exhale, relax hands
    upward and out to sides, palms up like a flower opening to the sun. Repeat 3,
    6, or 9 times.

    Mixing Qi in the Taiji Channel


    Inhale, draw hands toward one another above head, perhaps six inches apart,
    as feels natural. Exhale, relax hands down and foreword in front of body, down
    to the level of the perineum (base of spine). Inhale, draw hands upward near
    body, palms facing one another, arriving at top of head at peak of inhalation.
    Repeat 3, 6, or 9 times. Focus more on the feeling of qi mixing between the
    dantians rather than on physical form. Finish with exhale, hands down.

    Storing Qi in the Bone Marrow and Lower Dantian


    Inhale, draw hands inward to touch lower belly, one hand over the other to
    align laogong points in palm, gathering qi into lower dantian. Breath naturally
    for awhile, keeping hands on lower belly. Turn the senses inward, let the three
    dantian interpenetrate, let the bone marrow become full and bright.
    Let the cultivated qi begin digesting. Modestly swallow the sweet saliva. Let
    the three dantian lose their distinction as you dissolve into primordial chaos.
    Relax into to the self-existing stillness underlying all phenomena. Forget the
    distinction between self and nature. Drop body and mind and experience
    Great Rest.
    At some point you will feel inspired to move. The practice is complete.
