Where is the Dantian?

丹田 Dantian
Dantian are the Qi Focus Flow Centers, important focal points for meditative and exercise techniques such as qigong.

張伯端在《金丹四百自序》內有以下一段：

「要知身中一竅，名曰玄牝，此竅者，非心非腎，非口非鼻也，非脾胃也，非穀道也，非膀胱也，非丹田也，非泥丸也，能知此之一竅，則冬
至在此矣，藥物在此矣，火侯亦在此矣，沐浴亦在此矣，結胎亦在此矣，脫體亦在此矣，此竅乃神氣之根，虛無之谷，即在身中求之，不可求
於他也」

The 竅(Qi Focus Flow Centers) of the body is called 玄牝(The root of creation).
The 竅 are not heart, kidney, mouth, nostrils, spleen, stomach, anal, bladder, Dantian, or brain.

You must know this 竅 well. This is both 冬至(The revival of the sun) and 藥物(神 spirit + 氣qi).
火侯(The fire in the body). 沐浴(Microcosmic Orbit), 結胎(cintamani). It means this too.
It is an out-of-body, a hole, and a source of 神(spirit) and 氣(qi).
The depths of non-existent things. You have to get this in your body, but don't get it anywhere else.

《丘祖秘傳大丹直指》:

「六論玄竅: 人以命門為玄，腎堂為牡，此處立基，謬之千里矣。不知玄牝乃天地之根， 在西南昆地，臍後腎前，而又非臍下一寸三分，亦
非兩腎間之空竅。此乃真竅，能得而 知。上通泥丸，下透湧泉。中接心腎，內虛而直。不可形求，不可意取。先天真種實藏於 此，通天地，
通神聖，得則生矣，失則死矣，“真人之息以踵”者此也。此天仙下手處， 舍此而下，酆九幽者也」。

The 命門(Qi Focus Flow Centers) are not front of the kidney and behind the belly button, 1.5cm below the belly button, or an
empty 竅 between the kidneys.
You have to know that this is a real 竅.
The top is connected to the 泥丸(the crown[top] of the head) and the bottom is connected the 湧泉(the sole of one's foot).

Then, where is Dantian? One cannot quite pin down the Dantian, but it exists.
Then,How do I find Dantian? You can find where the heat originates.
Take a good look at the picture below.

You observe the spine on the opposite side of your belly button or slightly below the belly button. That way it is connected to the Dantian.

玄牝 is a term that comes from the Dao De Jing.

Dao De Jing

[第六章]
谷神不死，The valley spirit dies not, aye the same; 
是謂玄牝。The female mystery thus do we name. 
玄牝之門，Its gate, from which at first they issued forth,
是謂天地根。Is called the root from which grew heaven and earth. 
綿綿若存，Long and unbroken does its power remain,
用之不勤 Used gently, and without the touch of pain.

What is God from a Taoist viewpoint?

What is God from a Taoist viewpoint?

It's a high-level[dimensional] thing that I've reached through the Practice of Taoism.
That's why it's hard to understand what I'm talking about.
What I'm talking about goes far beyond Taoism.

You study only about three-dimensional materials about Taoism. But if you go through some steps, you're going to have four-dimensional.
In fact, in three-dimensional, no one would have reached the highest level of the Taoist reference, such as Microcosmic Orbit (小周天) or 大周天.

Taoism teachers around the world don't know or knew all the details but pretended like he knew nothing about these four-dimensional souls or gods.

There are several reasons,
First of all, they do not have the ability to solve the problem.
Second, most Taoism teachers are taken to miscellaneous Gods. This is why they hide.
Third, groups of darkness are very afraid to know the truth. That's why they disturb organized.

There are invisible beings in our universe.
Unseen beings can compress in three ways. The souls of the dead, the souls of the living and the gods.

If the power[功力] is not high, they can be taken over. Fortunately, high-level gods help the Taoists.
I've mastered the skills to deal with this kind of soul through the years of practice.
And No one in the world has ever had this skills.

Because the skills is Darma[Dharma] of 紫府仙人, the founder of Taoism. And if anyone wants to learn, I can teach you the essence of Taoism for free.

You might be saying, "Stop your big talk until you show us some proof."
Then I would reply:Find a gifted shaman with my pictures and writings, So they will tell you about me. And I can to connect remotely demonstrate by remote  one-on-one healing support.

I will write a ancient novel Or a history of sundo(仙道) from now on.

I will write a ancient novel Or a history of sundo(仙道) from now on.
about 10,000 years ago

There was a war with the Venom. This is similar to the movie(Venom, 2018).
Anyhow, We was done over from the enemy.
it's burning books on the Taoism(仙道) classics and burying Taoistic scholars alive.
The greatest teachers(紫府仙人) sequestered himself from the world.
Taoism is a branch of sundo(仙道).

The simple movements of gigong is difficult to change.
First, Your body should be as hot as a furnace.
Second, check that The secrets(gi) of nature goes all the way across your body.
Third, Be a human being, for starters, reap the enlightenment.

Buddha has a hump on the top of his head

Buddha has a hump on the top of his head
Why? It is because The energy enters the body from top to bottom.
The scalp was transformed into the hump

The above information is very important in Taoist practice.
Teachers in Taoism around the world don't teach us anything like this. This is a very wrong practice.

This is a common phenomenon when you practice Taoism for a year or so, although experience varies from person to person.
It's a sign of an open on the top of head(百會穴).

But it would close soon. It's because bad energy comes into your body.
百會穴() is also called 天門穴(sky door).
The 天門穴(sky door) must be open to communicate in four-dimensions, and it depends on the success and failure of the Taoist.

百會穴 is linked directly to 湧泉穴. It's also linked to 勞宮穴 in both hands.
Most of the space energy enters the 百會穴 and exits each mother point(cell).
After decades of activity state, you may notice a distortion in the area of the crown[top] of the head.
It is particularly important when the crown[top] of the a deformed  head is included in the drawing

內經圖試釋

實際上， 內經圖即為北宗氣功，小周天功法，百日築基之秘要。

其要求在氣發丹田，使任督兩脈， 連接周流運行，循環不息，以維人體陰陽平衡，使氣經常環繞各大穴道，周流全身，佈滿腦、神經、血管、內分泌等各系統，以產生按摩作用。

故有袪病強身，延年益壽的效果。願我同門參酌領悟，共登壽域，倘能更進一步修練， 自能達成道果本刊於己已年六月六日第一期，載有「內經圖」一則，同門閱讀，不甚瞭解，因而本刊總編輯索稿於予，乃不揣淺陋，對「內經圖」作粗淺之解釋，以供參考。

依據摹圖人素雲道人記述，此圖向無傳本，緣丹道廣大精微，鈍根入無從領悟，是以罕傳於世。道人偶於高松山齋中，檢觀書畫，此圖適懸壁上，繪法工細，始悟一身之呼吸吐納，即天地之盈虛消息，苟能神而明之，金丹大道，思過半矣。不敢獨得，爰急付梓，以廣流傳云云。

練丹者應知經絡

按「內經圖」依照人體經絡穴位繪成，來自「內經」，亦名「黃帝內經」，為我國醫籍之最古者。分素問、靈樞兩種，素問二十四卷，記黃帝與歧伯問答之語， 多為養生之道。唐王冰註漢書藝文志，載黃帝內經十八篇，無素問之名。東漢張機傷寒論引之，始稱素問、故隔書經籍志，始著錄之。靈樞計十二篇，其中所論多詳於緘刺，均與人體經絡穴位有關。所謂氣走經絡，乃維持人類生命的氣血經絡，就在經絡構成精密的網路中運行。

內溫五臟六腑，外潤皮膚筋骨。因此經絡學說，在歐美醫界造成莫大之震憾。這是一種我國固有文化不可思議的智慧，所以人體經絡學說，和氣功修練有密切關係，倘能熟研經絡，更有助於氣功的修練，經穴便是負交流調節重任的閘門，切勿忽視。

抱朴子內篇金丹云：「老子之訣言云：『子不得還丹金液，虛自苦耳。』夫丹之為物，燒之愈久，變化愈妙。黃金入火，有練不消。服此二物，練人身體，故能令人不老不死。」

又云：『凡草木燒之即燼，而丹燒之成水銀，（比喻語）積變又還成丹砂。（比喻語）其去凡草木亦還矣，故能令人長生。』 依據此金，即黃金液，丹即由丹砂煉成之還丹也。又有內丹外丹之別。

道家以烹煉金石為外丹；龍虎胎息，吐故納新為內丹，乃修練己身丹田內之精氣神而成。

宋史藝文志：「梁丘子注：（黃庭內景玉經一卷），六一題跋：「黃庭經，今道藏別有三十七章回黃庭內景。所謂內景者，乃此經之義疏也。」雲笈七籤：「陽為外景，為外神也。陰為內景，為內神也。」

本圖以人體經絡穴位內景繪成， 自頭頂泥丸宮，又稱上丹田，經中丹田，下丹田，至陰蹻，再並行經督脈上行，經尾閭，夾脊、玉枕三關，而達百會穴，故有坎水逆流之說

。茲更分別說明如下：

一、

本圖左方為任脈，右方為督脈，其穴位可參考第一期來靜師寫的「坐功中之注意事項」，所附二圖，即可明瞭。上圖即為任脈經過諸穴之圖；下圖即為督脈經過諸穴之圖，茲不贅述其穴名。

李時珍說：「任督兩脈，人身之子午也。乃丹家陽火陰符，升降之道，坎離水火交媾之鄉。」故任督二脈通，其餘六脈，十二經，亦應可逐步打通。

二、

頭部即為上丹田，百會穴所在，亦稱泥丸宮、升陽府、 崑崙頂、靈台等，別名甚多。又在兩眼，及兩眉牽直，而額骨到鼻骨之中間，正在十字中心，即玄關一竅，亦稱祖竅，道家稱成金丹之穴，此竅至寶至貴。

玄關者，大道之正門，故曰天地靈根，原始祖氣，至善之地，玄牝之鄉。

玄關藏性，性是神，神屬陽，陽中有陰，為其陰。是以在圖中載有：

「白頭老子眉垂地，若向此玄玄會得，此系（玄字）之外更無系。」至「碧眼胡僧手託天」，似為舌頂上顎之意，亦即上鵲橋所在之處。

三、

中丹田所在之處，自承漿下十二層樓（喉管）到黃庭，即為膻中穴。周圍環有「心神丹元字守靈」，以牛郎代表為陽性，此外有肝、膽、脾、腎、均各有專職。共同耕種心田，故有：

「我家耑種自家田，內有靈苗活萬年，花似黃金色不易，子如玉粒果皆圓，栽培全賴中宮土，灌溉須憑上谷泉， （指津液）功課一朝成大道，逍遙陸地作蓬仙

四、

下丹田位於膝下三寸，亦有稱一寸三分，即圖中正丹田所在，下丹田為藏命之所，命是氣，氣屬陰，以織女為代表陰性，但陰中有陽，曰真陽，故真陰與配其陽。

老子謂：「谷神不死，是為玄牝。」河上公註：「以玄為天，於人為鼻；牝為地也，於人為口。鼻口之門，為天地之元氣所從往來。」金丹家則謂坎為玄門，離為牝戶。

坎離交媾，即將丹田旋轉一點真陽，採還於離位，與真陰相合，謂之抽坎填離。為將玄關一點真陰，復還坎宮與真陽相合，謂之降離歸坎。如此往後，現出本來真性，此其之門一開，則為超生了死，可為仙佛。

故圖中有「鐵牛耕地種金錢，刻石兒童把貫串。一粒粟中藏世界，半升鐺內煮山川。白頭老子眉垂地，碧眼胡僧手托天，若向此系（玄）玄會得，此玄玄之外更無系。」之說明。

五、

圖之右方為督脈，有三關；最重要者為尾閭關，亦稱下鵲橋，故有「坎水逆流」而上；經第二關為夾脊關，在命門之上，亦稱轤轆關；第三關為玉枕關，即玉真上關，靈峰之穴。

此三關必須長久修練，打通後，則任督兩脈循環周流，即能增強本身氣的能量，並增強抗力，小病不易近身，而延年益壽。倘能三才台一，就可長生不老成為金仙。

最後圖中「延壽仙佛」 （此佛字不甚清楚） 指神仙也。所謂「一粒粟中藏世界」，言煉成全丹，如同一粟，與宇宙景象相同，須經過苦練後，方能九轉還丹成仙，誠不易也。正需要有耐心、 信心、 恆心、 和愛心，方能達成正果。

抱朴子金丹謂：「一轉之丹，服之三年得仙；二轉之丹，服之二年得仙；三轉之丹，服之一年得仙；四轉之丹，服之半年得仙；五轉之丹，服之百日得仙；八轉之丹，服之十日得仙；九轉之丹，服之三日得仙。」按抱朴子謂九轉丹，即太清神丹

，出太清觀天經。

拉雜寫來，不知是否符合原意，尚乞高明，有以教之。

------------------------------------------------------

玄牝

練者能將肝（木）心（火）胰（５）腎（１）和肺（４）合起來才能成命門炁穴（太極）。張伯端在《金丹四百自序》內有以下一段：

「要知身中一竅，名曰玄牝，此竅者，非心非腎，非口非鼻也，非脾胃也，非穀道也，非膀胱也，非丹田也，非泥丸也，能知此之一竅，則冬至在此矣，藥物在此矣，火侯亦在此矣，沐浴亦在此矣，結胎亦在此矣，脫體亦在此矣，此竅乃神氣之根，虛無之谷，即在身中求之，不可求於他也」

breathing

There are two kinds of breathing: thoracic and abdominal. In thoracic breathing the chest expands in inhalation and shrinks in exhalation. We use thoracic breathing when we inhale with our arms up and exhale when we put our arms down. In abdominal respiration the stomach expands in a manner similar to a rabbit’s breathing. If you look at babies carefully when they are sleeping, you see their stomach rather than their chest moving up and down; this is abdominal breathing.

You may think that people breathe with their chest because of the location of the lungs. Actually, abdominal breathing, the kind practiced by babies, is more natural and healthy. If a person’s shoulders go up and down when he breathes, or if his chest is moving, it might indicate that he has a problem with his lungs, and therefore the breath cannot go deeper than his lungs. It is also possible that he has abdominal dropsy or a swollen stomach, so the breath cannot go all the way down. This kind of breathing is unhealthy.
