The Middle School of Internal Alchemy

• Key points of meditation in the body: you will learn how to use points of the body analogous with various acupoints used in TCM Acupuncture to generate meditative experiences, develop energy and attain spiritual awareness.
• The reverse method of activating the Du Meridian by using the “Dual Gate”: The Thoracic Dual Gate is a unique feature of Middle School Neidan practice which reverses the flow of the Du Meridian in order to relax the spine and cause Qi to cleanly penetrate to the base of the spine and top of the head. This practice is virtually unknown in the West, but we have been practicing it for years and have found it to have great results.
• Effortless Embryonic Breathing: Neidan Embryonic Breathing is a high level technique that is difficult to master, but using the method from the Jade Tablet Decree can help you learn to use the Dual Gate to effortlessly open the Lower Dantian and achieve Embryonic Breathing without trying.
• Working Toward the Mystery Gate: The Mystery Gate is the highest level practice of Daoism and bridges the Pre and Post Heaven states, but it is also a core basic practice which should be worked on from the first day of practice. In our seminar we will learn what the mystery gate is, how to work toward achieving it, the signs it will happen, and the mystery gate experience. Usually this process takes a few months to feel, but we will work toward it and have seen students experience it during previous weekend seminars.
• Jade Fluid Refines the Body: This Daoist Qigong technique uses the saliva to open the Yin and Yang Wei Meridians. It is a supplementary exercise in the Jade Tablet Decree designed to help new students quickly feel Qi and circulate it in the entire body.
