It's so fascinating to focus awareness in the body that many people think of it as the standard of effective methods. Then there are those who don't practice "methods" at all... A way-less Way is still a way , maybe a much superior way ; a mindless mind is still a Mind, maybe a much magnificent Mind ("法本法無法, 無法法亦法" ; "心本法無心, 無心心亦心," ) Ways of Taoist alchemy do divide into low, middle and superior ones (上、中、下品丹法) , which Taoist writings repeatedly emphasize . Saying that different methods/ways suit different people is just a polite way to evade arguments or to avoid being viewed as arrogant. In fact, a low-end way can only lead you to a healthy body , hardly can it let you attain everlasting life.

turtlehermit Posted February 7, 2018 "The square inch is the lower dantian" - further corroboration of the true Golden Flower method "In the past, the masters used to only teach this one point - concentrate the spirit on the qi point - the lower dantian" "when yang is sufficient, after the foundation has been built from concentration on the lower dantian, everything else will arise naturally" "all meditation masters buddhist, taoist, have taught this one point, allow the breath to flow down to the dantian, focus the mind on this one point, this is the way to clear the mind" "the turtle hibernates in the centre" "only when the turtle shrinks and does not lift its head again is the gong proficient" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
