Yin Energy

[Sudhamma]

Hi Everyone,

I came across this site while searching for answers to 'Yin Energy'. I've been a student practising a couple of qigong styles for the past 20 years or thereabout. Recently I came across 'Mo Pai' and Master David Chang and the book, The Macus of Java, in the internet and was intrigued by the emphasis of harnesting Yin engergy. As was said, most qigong systems centres on the Yang energy, by that I understood as that of the Universe, as Heavens is considered the greatest source of Yang, and the Earth, the greatest source of Yin. However, qigong practices of the traditional schools would use both extreme points of the body to gather energy, and with that, both yin and yang. Is there a system then that only harnest yin energy from the depths of the earth? If there is Mo Pai which was said to have originated from the Mt. Dragon and Tiger, Loong-Fu San, then there must be other systems that shared similar approach. To gather the yin energy one therefore must focus on both the Yung-quan and Hui-yin; and therefore, interested qigong practitioners must redirect their concentrations to these two points in their usual training. How far am I right?
