    He knows his forms, perhaps for some reasons, he was a bit in a hurry to go somewhere.
  2. What exactly is a dan tien?

    Okay, finally, I got somebody's attention. Please review posts #33 and 34 which is the prehistoric concept that was originated for internal alchemy with the ingredients of jing, chi, and shen. We will have to continue with the discussion without any external influences nor interruptions. PS.... BTW You need to have a little faith in post #10.

    .....And we call this is the virtue of martial arts(武德). The merit of this virtue works well mentally as well as physically; but the former has priority over the latter. My friend, I do sense that there is such quality in your cultivation.

    Just wear shoes with lower heels as long as the heel of the foot and toes are at the same level.

    I like your understanding about the dan tien and chakras from a third party.

    Let Nature take its course.

    LOL...Zerostao........ The stepping and rooting are the most fundamental achievement in all martial arts not just Bagua. BTW Tai Ji is where I came from(I am sure you know by now). Bagua and Tai Ji are belonging to the same family.
  8. Yessssss, I used to own a cat......
  9. What exactly is a dan tien?

    hmmmmm......... Spiritual do make everything works for all bodies......... :D BTW.... Your input has indicated that you are the most knowledgeable and the closest about internal alchemy which explained in modern scientific terms.
  10. What exactly is a dan tien?

    Stop it. This will be ended up in the pit just like all the threads with your last word. Please don't get emotional.
  11. Perhaps a cat problem.....???
  12. What exactly is a dan tien?

    Please stop confusing the issue here. What is from the DDJ....???
  13. What exactly is a dan tien?

    These are the exact descriptions of the functions what were taken place in those locations in the human body. UDT is the head where the brain is. The MDT is where the lung is. Finally, the LDT is abdomen.
  14. What exactly is a dan tien?

    This was how the idea of internal alchemy was derived from by imaging that a cauldron was placed in the LDT.
  15. What exactly is a dan tien?

    When you post this, have you thought of the difference between an external and internal alchemy. What you have shown here is for external alchemy which is what leads the idea of internal alchemy. The cauldron is used for the external alchemy to make elixir in the past by the ancient Chinese Taoist. Later, they had derived the idea of internal alchemy from the external idea. They were thinking that the dan tien(internal) is equivalent to the cauldron(external). PS..... Let's not have a miscarriage of this immature thread due to some emotional effects. Edited to correct grammar. I am still learning....!!!

    Again, in this case, his heels are too high which will cause all his weights to lean forward. Thus that will make him very difficult to balance himself.
  18. What exactly is a dan tien?

    I believe chakras is a non-Chinese term.....???
  19. What exactly is a dan tien?

    You know my friend, I only know the name by dan tien and nothing else. I have no idea what chakras is. So, I don't want to mix ideas with two systems to avoid any undesirable confusion factor. My standing is purely in the Chinese Taoism system.
  20. What exactly is a dan tien?

    Okay! In this case, then you just have kicked me out of the conversation literally......
  21. What exactly is a dan tien?

    Since the OP has no idea what dan tien is, perhaps the OP should have had stated: What exactly is "dan tien"....??? rather than What exactly is "a dan tien".....??? The "a" is the culprit which misled everybody. It is because dan tien is not a thing but only a location on the body....!!!
  22. What exactly is a dan tien?

    Does that mean the LDT is a point located in the center of the chest or a little bit below it........???
  23. ...

    Maybe he should wear kung fu shoes in the first place. The soles are much flatter.
