Neidan? Definitive Definitions...

Recommended Posts

What is Neidan?

How do people practice it?

How do you practice it?

How would you describe it?

 

There was a recent post about Neidan, the topic was closed though and after reading a few pages nobody had defined it . I'd love to read your views/teachers views...

I am no expert but would recommend reading the Cantong qi as the first historical Neidan text and Wang Mu for the steps in the process.

Incredible thankyou. I've just read through the Cantong Qi. As I've fumbled around over the years with practices in movement and stillness it made me smile. 

 

I had heard of Wei Boyang and read quotes from him , not full texts though. In fact this is the first one I read so thanks again Apech. 

 

I will take a look at Wang Mu, again I recognise the authors name. I have been looking into Taoist masters recently buyer only just starting to read translations of their work :)

 

Nice one 👍

I see now Taoist Texts, I've started reading the texts,

 

I see the amorphous nature of the translations. Down the rabbit hole I go...
