middle dantien meditation

Recommended Posts

Hi all. Anyone has an experience with focusing on middle dantien?  Damo's book also says that women should focus on the middle after lower dantien is established. Would like to hear from anyone doing it regarding on how they find it. thank you

I am a woman.

 

I don't focus on middle dan tian.

 

I focus on Xiuan guan.

 

Focusing on

 

Xiuan guan will relax middle dan tian.

 

But I don't focus on Xiuan guan directly.

 

I follow the rules of wu Wei.

 

The rules of wu Wei will open the Xiuan guan by it self.

 

I just relax and let everything happen.

 

 

 

 

I don't suggest anyone focus on middle dan tian.

 

It will hurt your body.

 

The Qi will block in your chest.

 

It will make a Qi disease.

In my limited experience, I agree with this ^ Nicely put

Hi young friend,

 

Please read this very basic (in simplicity lies the foundation of everything) info about how to meditate properly:

 

https://buddhismnow.com/2013/09/12/vipassana-as-taught-by-the-mahasi-sayadaw-of-burma/

 

 

The key point is watching the mind. And this is not easy due to the inherent complexity and difficulties associated with tackling and understanding the mind.

 

Happy practice :)

If you want to focus on the MDT, you might want to do that within the context of a method that solves the problem of congestion mentioned above.

 

The method might be different to the way you can focus on the LTD.

At least it is in my practice.

 

I would not actually recommend trying this out on your own. I managed to get a rather unpleasant congestion in the chest in the late 90-ties, after trying to do a Iron Shirt compression exercise from a book. Not my smartest move. (being young and entusiastic, I bought more books by the same author and did myself damage that took literally years to get rid of)

 

;-)

Middle dan tian is not for a beginner.

 

If you are biginne, you should start from the basic layer.

 

練精化氣

 

Middle dan tian is 化神 layer.
