When you meditate, breathe deep into your lower abdomen and extend your stomach. Just focus on the area where you feel pressure when your stomach is extended. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try reading the thread before you ask the same question everyone's been talking about already for quite a while. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenn Posted January 2 This post might interest you: It started as the purpose of the dantian but lots of info including discussion on the location wrt different systems and practices of the LDT. TLDR for the link above: It's complicated and each system has a slightly different location description - probably best as a beginner to choose a system and use their definition of the LDT. Once you feel it for yourself, it makes more sense. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenn Posted January 3 My apologies, I was actually thinking of this link and got the posts confused, although that other link is interesting / related too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
exorcist_1699 Posted June 20 (edited) Talking about Taoist meditation , likely the lower abdomen , a big place below the navel for men as their starting point , is the location appropriate . For women, should be middle of their breasts . Notice that the principle is wherever yang /sex pleasure / convex arises, wherever is the place. For TCM treatment , say if you want to do some acupressure or place a TCM plaster on some acupuncture point to replenish jing , then it is the " Guan Yuan " (" 關元" ) , 4-finger width below your navel : Edited June 24 by exorcist_1699 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
