Chang dao ling Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Is it possible for snakes and fox and other animals capable of chi cultivation? In India there are many stories of snakes capable of taking of human form after 100 years of meditation. Do animals have dantian? i read a book written by Eva Wong on eight immortals. In that book one of the eight immortals is a bat 🦇 cultivated a human form than a immortal body. Edited December 30, 2022 by Chang dao ling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WitheringTree Posted December 30, 2022 No I I belive u have to have a certain level of cognition to practice chi cultivation and such animals do not. It is said that some beast have but I would not label them as such animals that u speak of. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In China , there are also lot of stories about fox , fish ( mainly carp) and snake ,even spider practicing their cultivation and become immortals or monsters . Anyway, assume that they once attain self consciousness ( test of it seems to be putting a mirror in front , and see their reaction ) , and can pay attention to their bodies' conditions and energy , then as reptiles , fish , invertebrates..etc that get different body forms , we have to ask : 1) Where are the locations of their dantians, just at the center area of their bodies or somewhere in between their kidneys? 2) Do they get the same Du and Ren channels as humans' or in what other forms they run ? Hardly will an octopus get its DU and REN channels same as us , I think. Although acupuncture treatment does apply to dog, cat , horse .., acupuncturists who one day suddenly think of how to cure animals which come from other categories say parrots , dolphin , even snail ,will find the issue of how to inject Taoist qi theory into modern Zoology something difficult .
