Taoist alchemy for extreme longevity, synthesis of martial arts, Qi gong techniques by Lu Zijian

Supercentenarian Lu Zijian and also Chinese alchemy Waidan & Neidan

Chinese alchemy is a part of the conventional Taoist body/mental cultivation. According to ancient wordings such as Cantong Qi, human body is a microcosm where global influences are connecting as they do in the macrocosm, by observing and cultivating with Ancient Chinese theoretical as well as numerological devices such as Yin Yang, Three pureties, 5 aspects, 8 diagrams ... the practitioner needs to reach a higher alignment with the operation of Tao, supreme guideline of all the things. We really should likewise think about Chinese alchemy as the last bridge in between the two specific groups of Taoism: - Tao Jia: which is a lot more magical as well as originated from Lao Zi as well as Zhuang Zi. - Tao Jiao: which is much more favored as well as folkloric much easily accessible to "day-to-day demands of individuals" (J.C. Coopers).

It is traditionally accpeted that Lao Zi and also Chang Tao Ling, major icons in Daoist instructions, created the starting point to the Chinese heritage of alchemy, whose function was to accomplish immortality. Chinese alchemy can be divided into two methods of practice which are waidan or "external alchemy" and also neidan or "inner alchemy". - Waidan refers to methods associating with the process of making an elixir typically including organic or chemical substances discovered outside of the body. - Neidan uses techniques such as: comprised reflection procedures, visualization, breathing as well as bodily posture activities. Breathing workouts were utilized to preserve jing or "life essence", bodily postures were made use of to improve qi or "energy" stream in the body and meditation/visualization is attending to the elevation of mental/spirit.

Presently compared to a lot of existing Taoist immortality activities, Lu Zijian approach mirrors his all life participation and practice of taoist internal alchemical methods and internal martial arts. Right now the major distinction of his method is the constant balance as well as consistency in the body and also the psychological, which comes from his higher degree achievement in martial arts while the other procedures are normally centering only just on one aspect such breathing, energetic circulation or mind-calming exercise. So the information consisted of in Lu's technique is that if we wish to improve results we really should have a broader perspective of the internal alchemy method:

1) "Neidan" or inner alchemy usages procedures such as comprised meditation methods, visual images, breathing and also bodily posture activities. If one facet is disregarded or over highlighted in the training: this will irremediably influence the effectiveness of the training.

2) Using the early taoist design of 3 pureness (or essences): this gives us which different level of mutation one's power shoud be concerned in the course of our inner training.

Jing which can be translated as "life essence". Qi (composed even Ch 'i) which can be converted as "energy" or "vital energy". Shen can be translated as "spirit" or "thoughts".

3) Yet even more necessary are the change phases between all these energised degree called "course of transmutation"

From Void to Jing From Jing to Qi From Qi to Shen From Shen to Void

For seasoned practitioners, the relevancy of one internal procedure counts accurately on its performance to communicate from one's energetic level to the other. We shoult also bear in mind that as we continue the level of problem is additionally boosting. You observe additionally the vital additive aspect of "void" as the beginning phase as well as the last one. Consequently Jing, Qi and also Shen are simply the "humanly perceived" energetic success of the a lot more global actuality of "Void".

4) Pertinence of Lu's procedures according to TCM and further Taoist concepts will be revised in a next article.
