THE WATER PATH. The water path passes through the spinal cord. This is a high practice within QiGong. Building pre-birth Qi in the Dan Tian. Next, use advanced training and mind to lead the Qi into the Thrusting Vessel, the "CHONG MAI" in the spinal cord. Marrow/Brain Washing ... uses Qi generated by and in the Dan Tian and also can develop in the sexual organs (Jing) ro convert into Qi supply. Ai midnight each day, the Qi separates into 2 paths. The FIRE PATH is outside the spine. In the wee hours, the Qi is sent and builds in the root area as well to generate "Jing" and hormones. WATER PATH goes up the spine. A major component of Marrow and Brain Washing is efficiency in the conversion of Jing to Chi. Qi. The Qi is then used to nourish the brain and THE SHEN (Spirit).

Ch 7 : General Concepts. Persons often only pay attention to the fruits of a tree. The beauty and fragrance of flowers. They skip over the planning, preparation, and HARF WORK. In China, they say that where there is a result, there is a cause. To Harvest Rice, first must plant it. The project must be nourished. Water. Protection. QIGONG TRAINING IS LIKE GROWING A TREE. Spreading out the seeds of the QiGong Tree that Learner will build. The roots may grow strong. Or weakly wither and die. Plant, nourish, PROTECT. UNDERSTAND ONE'S TREE. Sunshine, Fertilizer, Good Soil, protection from insects, ...and when and where. 5 THINGS TO KNOW: 1. Regulate the : 1. Body. 2. Breath. 3. Mind. 4. Qi. 5. Shen. This provides insight into the "How." "Why." Informed choices. CONFIDENCE. QiGong Botany. BUILDING UP QI. WATER FIRE. REGULATE THE BODY, BREATH, EMOTIONS, ESSENCE, QI, AND SHEN.
Building Qi. Understanding how Qi is generated. Generated and Converted from Essences. converting INHERITED ORIGINAL ESSENCE. this goes to make Water Qi. Food makes Fire Qi. Generates Life Force. Over consumption causes fat. Undereating causes the body to eat its fat. Increasing Efficiency of Transfer-Conversion. Creating Qi potential. Qi will flow from higher to lower where there is imbalance. This increases circulation. Clearing up blockages. Many ways, "many paths,". 4 categories of Qi building: 1. Physical stimulations, 2. Mental Stims. 3. Energizing the Shen. 4. Others...
Building Qi (Contnd). Physical stimulation is the easiest and basic method. Qi energized the muscles. Must supply Qi to muscles for continuing energy. Essence within stored and released as Qi. Qi builds up where blood does from exercise. Some dissipates into the air, some flows into body. Qi Circulation and Qi Channels. Wai Dan - External practice. Concentrating the mind during training of an area. Qi channels move more freely when relaxed. ARCING THE ARMS exercise called "Gong Shou." EXPERIENCING CHI FLOW. Concentration and YI... Wisdom mind. In coordination with inhalations, less and less Chi can dissipate into the air and more can energize the internal alchemy. Conception and Governing Vessels. Local Qi. Was it Qi or Blood Flow that we felt? Blood is material, Chi is energy. Slight warmth in the area may also be accompanied by an electric charge. Blood does not do this, Chi does.
MENTAL STIMULATION. How movement of the body is possible. firstly, one must generate an idea. This leads the Qi to the muscles that then execute the brain's orders. YI TI TIN QI . .. USE YOUR YI (WISDOM MIND) TO LEAD YOUR QI. The mind LEADS the Qi. The more one can concentrate, the stronger the YI will be, which portends that the Qi will flow. Using the mind alone to build up Qi is most difficult. LEARNING TO REGULATE THE MIND IOS ESSENTIAL. WAI DAN (External) NEI DAN (Internal) "elixirs" One may feel Qi in the palms by pushing down the palms mentally and exhaling. Once we feel something, we are feeling Qi. YI is the idea that we are pushing. With practice, one can lead the Qi more and more strongly to the palms. With experience, the Qi practitioner can send Qi anywhere in the body. In Wei Dan and Nei Dan, the Qi is built up similarly, one with imagined movements and one with actual. In the mental version, we bring the LOWER DAN TIAN. This exercise is much more difficult than the external Qi practice.
ENERGIZING THE SHEN. When excited, happiness and joy, the body may heat up...aka become hot. This is because the Spirit went to Higher State ... and body went "too Yang." Next, the mind transfers the heat to the skin for release. When scared or nervous, the energy highways within the body constrict. The body tenses up so not to lose its Qi... diminishing its own flow. Too Yin. The Qi channels being narrowed is the same as going into cold weather. Qi and Feelings...relations. Feelings generate in the mind and are directed by Spirit. STABILIZING AND FORMING THE SPIRIRT IS THE #1 JOB OF QOGONG. Advanced practitioners move their Qi in their bodies at Will. Fatigue in the body leads to lowering of the Spiritual dimensional frequency. The Yi gets out of the way when the being goes to rest. Anxiety, for example, will not let the mind rest which in turn weakens the Spirit. Excitement leads to higher spiritual frequency. QIGONG PRINCIPLES: THE SPIRIT GOVERNS THE QI FLOW... MANAGING QI AND GUARDIAN QI. These are built up for managing and shielding in optimal state of Being. The Emotive Mind and The Wisdom Mind can both raise the Qi frequency. In sleep and rest, the Qi rebalances itself. In Qigong, the mind balances the Qi ...regulates the mind. This raises the Spirit...without Yi excitement...which is calmer and more stable. THE RAISED SPIRIT IS ABLE TO GOVERN THE QI FLOW EFFICIENTLY FOR STABLE AND CALM POWER REGULATION.
HOW TO ADJUST FIRE AND WATER: 1. FRESH FOOD AND AIR. 2. REGULATING THE MIND AND BREATHING. 3. STEADYING THE SPIRIT. 4. CIRCULATING THE WIND PATH. 5. LEADING THE QI TO THE WIND PATH. 1. meats are geenerally toxin laden althoguyh imprioper vegatable use is no solvent either. Nuts and beans. Protein. Daoists and buddhists have long improved the quality of their Qi through herbs and foods. food, air, and herbs are critical for adjusting the Kan and Li. LIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS is better becuase of the quality of the air. 2. Regulating the mind and breathing are the basic elements to build the Fire Qi. In regulation of the mind, there is stability. emotive stability is critical with fire Qi. The body can go on fire if the emotional ststae is agitated. in order to keep the mind calm and steady, use the METAL LUNGS ... which colls down the FIRE HEART. Deep breathing and the use of the qi in midle Dantian to cool the fire by leading it to the lungs... which can dissipate the heat. THE MIND AND THE BREATHE CANNOT BE SEPARATED. Deeper calm can be found. 3. STEADYING THE SPIRIT. fire Qi agistates and excites the emotiobnal mind. Energizes the body. the emotional mind will be scattered. the WATERY WISDOM MIND can be used to CLEAR THE WIDOM MIND further. Higher levekls are in training of the spirit. YI SHOU YI TIAN JIN GANG QI ...is THE MIND STAYS CLEAR AT THE ONE METAL POINT OF THE THIRD EYE. as strong as steel... UPER DAN TIAN. We train to keep our mind in the UPPER DAN TIAN ...space...THE WILL IS FORM THE MIND IS CLEAR. SPIRIT IS FIRM AND STEADY AND CONTROLS THE QI IN THE BODY. EFFICIENT CONTROL OF THE FIRE QI IS AFFORDED. 4. CIRCULATING THE WIOND PATH: qi cdirculation... slowing and cololing of the FIRE QI. usually, this will be thru the CONCPETION VESSEL IN THE FRONT... water qi is brought from the lower dantian to cool the fire qi in the middle dantian. This effectively cools the fiore Qi even before it circulates. 5. LEADING THE QI... TO THE WATER PATH. tjhis is also found in the book MARROW / BRAIN WASHING QIGONG which is lleading the Qi is led to the WATER PATH to weaken the Fire Qi... and keep from bodily overheating... again...descrtibed more thoroughly in MUSCLE/TENDON CGHANGING AND MARROW.BRAIN WASHING QIGIONG by YMAA Dr Yming-Ming. HEART POSSES FIRE WHILE LUNGS PSSES METAL. These two are to be as One for Optimal Being.
REGULATING THE BODY. TIAO SHEN. The Trainee must REGULATE 5 things... BODY, BREATHE, XIN (EMOTIVE MIND), QI, AND SHEN (SPIRIT). For steady flow of Water Qi...regulation of THE ESSENCE from which the Water Qi is converted. Closely linked! THE REAL REGUALTION HAPPENS EVENTUALLY WITHOIUT THE MIND. Regulating without regulating. REGUALTING THE BODY IS CALLED 'TIAO SHEN" and means adjusting the body to relaxation. Centering and balancing. If not, tenseness and uneasiness preside. Without good form, the Qi cannot flow appropriaely. Cannot be "smooth"... then the Yi Mind cannot be at Peace. Yi unease generates disorder in the Qi,. REGULATION FO THE MIND MUST PROCEED REGUALTION OF THE BODY. Xin...emotional mind... when the Wisdom and the Emotional Minds are balanced and the BODY is too...this is called ..." SHEN XIN PING HENG " ... BODY AND HEART MIND BALANCED. The mutual relationship Honored, The Yi relxes and concentrates...and with peaceful YI... comes accuracy. The body then becomes centered...balanced, and relaxed.
