Three days of dynamic (yang) & static (yin) meditations using Daoist Inner Cultivations methods.
Internal Alchemy, NeiDan (内丹)–Internal Elixir, is an ancient esoteric Daoist alchemical practice for realizing enlightenment in this lifetime. This is done by cultivating our xing (性) “original human nature” and ming (命) “worldly destiny,” by transmuting the three treasures of the body, Jing (精) Qi (氣) and Shen (神). This Inner Elixir is a representation of one’s own innate realized state.
Neidan can be called the highest form of Qigong as it is the most subtle and refined level of the internal practices. It is also called the “King of Medicine.” Qigong/Neigong exercises aid in preparation for the beginning Neidan meditation practices. In this workshop, specific instructions and path is outlined for personalized energetic meditations to cultivate the elixir, as well as tools for self-mastery to help uncover our natural state of our mind.
“Human beings receive this Golden Elixir from Heaven. . .Golden Elixir is another name for one’s fundamental nature, inchoate and yet accomplished. There is no other Golden Elixir outside one’s fundamental nature. All human beings have this Golden Elixir complete in themselves: it is entirely realized in everybody. It is neither more in a sage, nor less in an ordinary person. It is the seed of the Immortals and the Buddhas, the root of the worthies and the sages.” -Liu Yiming (18th century)
