Dantien breathing is always referred as LDT breathing. Breathing is breathing, you are only bringing oxygen into the lung. It doesn't matter what position one is in.

First of all, you need to know what is a Small Circulation. Then, you need to know how to achieve it. Also, you need to know that you haven't got it and why? Does anybody have any idea? Hint: Virtually, it has something to do with the Governor vessel and the Conception vessel.

There are lots of myths from the thoughts of ancient Chinese Taoist. The had some good imaginations to come up with ways for longevity. All these myths were puzzling me when I was a kid. I would like to believe all that as others. We can talking about them be accepting them blindly. However, as I get older and wiser. Since I had become an engineer and practiced Tai Chi with Taiji breathing method, there was a drastic change in my body physically and biologically. Hence, I figured that there must be a way to explain all that with the aid of modern science. I had studied and researched for the last twenty years and came to some conclusions. Most importantly, I would like to share with those who are interested with an open mind. I would like to pass all these information before I leave this world; and hopefully someone would understand and carry on with these ideas. Finally, we are in the space age and should not be living with myths in our minds. There are doubts in the following with many people, such as listed below: 1. What is Qi, 炁? 2. What is Qigong 氣功? 3. What is Neidan 內丹? 4. What is dantien丹田? 5. What is alchemy 鍊丹術? I would like to explain them to the best I can with my present understanding and reserve to right to update my findings at anytime. I might start a new thread to cover each subject to prevent obfuscation. We can starting by someone asking questions or I can post whatever comes into my mind. So, make your first shot!

I didn't send the PM.

I wouldn't say anything to confuse her at this point.

What is Chi Kung health method? First of all, what is Chi Kung really all about? @ 1:00 What is the meaning of Chi Kung. 氣 (Chi) in Chi Kung means breathing(呼吸). 功 (Kung) means to practice(練習). 氣功 是練習呼吸 Chi kung is to practice breathing. In other words, Chi Kung is a breathing practice method. @ 6:45 Chi kung has three parts are to be accomplished the practitioners. 1. 調息(Regulate breathing) : Regulate breathing is the very basic part of Chi Kung. 2. 調身(Fine-tune the body) : Refine the body (tendons and bones) to its top performance. 3. 調心(Liberating the mind) : Purify the mind with clear thoughts. @ 7:40 Let's talk about breathing(呼吸), ..... 1. 調息(Regulate breathing) Regulating the breath is the fundamental step in Chi Kung. This is the normal breathing practice pattern. Each inhalation and exhalation should be very distinctive. Do not move the upper torso while breathing. Breathe slowly with the nose but not the mouth. It is because the nose is for breathing and the mouth is for eating. One can breathe softly by not moving the upper torso. Ordinary people breathe about 18 to 24 times per minute. The air volume is very low. It is because the breathing depth was only 1/3 to 1/2 deep inside the lung. Hence, the amount of oxygen going through the body is very low. Chi kung breathing method is to regulate the breath. So, the air can go into the deepest point in the lung. Thus the air intake may be at twice or higher than normal. @ 8:45 Breathing can be done in various postures. However, the main thing is to sit up straight with back in and the chest out slightly. Breathe slowly and softly as indicated above. There are many methods of breathing, but deep breathing is the most fundamental method. Inhale slowly with the abdominal muscle moving slightly to guide the diaphragm to go up and down to regulate the lung volume. When the lung is full, hold the breath for about three seconds, then, exhale slowly. So to speak. It is OK not to force oneself to count but just breathe naturally. There are two kinds of breathing methods. One is normal breathing and the other is reverse breathing. Regular breathing, on exhalation, is to contract the abdomen muscle to lift up the diaphragm to push the lung upward to let the old air out. During inhalation is to guide the diaphragm downward to increase the lung volume to hold more air. Note: People with breathing problem should be given special instructions other than the normal breathing method.

The thoughts of being resonant.....

Father + Mother => Child

Tao engenders one One engenders two Two engender three Three engender all things Note: Tao is the creator of the universe.

Please, that is the worse translation. It should read as: All things have their backs to the shadow (yin) and stand facing the sun (yang).

"No thank you" has not 2 but 3.

@ 2:40 精氣神 They are the vital elements of the human body. From the Classic of Tai Ping. @ 3:08 精(jing) What is Jing? In the human body, Jing is the cream of the crop. It is the basic root of life. @ 3:14 氣(Chi) What is Chi? Chi inside the human body is like the air on earth. Even though, it is invisible, but it does exist. However, the chi inside the body is different from the air that we breathe. In the modern time, chi has different levels of descriptions. @ 2:45 from left to right. Chi has Nourishment (養份) + Oxygen (氧氣) + Electrical Energy (電能) + Light Energy (光能) Nourishment + Oxygen are transported by blood circulation (血液循環). Electrical Energy + Light Energy are transported by meridians (經絡脈運送). Nourishment are from the foods we eat. Oxygen is from the air we breathe to go into the body. They are transported by blood circulation. Light and electrical energies are transported by the invisible meridians. This is a myth. Actually, the meridians are the nervous system. If one compare both systems, one will see that the meridians are riding exactly on top of the human nerves. However, everybody has the Light and electrical energies but only the levels of magnitudes are different.That is why some are stronger and others are weaker. @ 4:42 神(shen)What is shen? Shen is the mind(心, heart) which control the thinking department. Shen is xing(性) which is the prenatal shen.

Chinese Chi Kung need to know about the body structure. It is interesting, this is the modern definition of Jing, Chi, Shen ~ 精氣神

自我健康療法 : Heath auto healing method 系列一 : System 1 生活應用篇 : Daily application 氣功 : Chi Kung 第一集 : Chapter one Human lives in the universe, existing with nature. If the change in the body integrated with the action of nature, then human will not get sick. Someone thought that the human chi (人氣, ran chi) is the root of life in the human body. 人在氣中 : human is in chi 氣在中人 : chi is in human 自天地至於萬物 : From heaven and earth (the universe) to all things 無不須氣以生者也 : None of them is not a dependant of chi for survival. Human lives in Chi is like a fish lives in water. Away from the water, the fish will die. Human life is the same way. Ran Chi is the root of life. Also, ran chi is the vital energy for the human body. Homeostasis is the goal pursued by my human. Today, we want to introduce the 穴道刺激法 : Acupressure method 氣功健康法 : Chi Kung health method The human body is like a building structure. The bones are analogues to the steel beams. The muscles and skins are like the inner layer and the outer wall. The internal organs are like the building materials. The vessels and nerves are the communication tools to manage how the setups are being used.

No, thank you ~ three words.
