Although there are three and five Dantians in the human body, in actual practice, except for special circumstances, generally speaking, the intention to guard the Dantian refers to the intention to guard the lower Dantian.

It is believed that the Lower Dantian has the closest relationship with the life activities of the human body. It is the "ancestor of life", "the source of vitality", "the root of the internal organs", "the root of the twelve meridians", "the meeting of yin and yang", and "the source of breathing".

"Gate", "the place where water and fire meet", is the hub where the true energy rises and falls, opens and closes, and is an important place for gathering, cooking and storing true energy.

Of course, from an anatomical and physiological point of view, the lower Dantian area has not yet been found to have special forms and functions. However, it has long been practiced to promote the practitioner's consciousness to enter a quiet state and achieve curative effects by keeping the Dantian intentionally.

Confirmed. The mechanism remains to be further studied and revealed.

There are different opinions on where the Dantian is located. Most Qigong experts believe that the Dantian consists of the upper Dantian, middle Dantian and lower Dantian.

The upper Dantian is called "Niwan" and is located at the Baihui point on the top of the head. Some say it is at the Yintang point between the eyebrows. The middle Dantian is called "Jianggong" and is located at the Tanzhong point on the chest. The lower Dantian is a large volume in the lower abdomen below the navel.

, including Guanyuan, Qihai, Shenque, Mingmen and other acupuncture points.

Some people think that the Dantian is located on the navel, also known as the Zuqiao. Others say that the Juque point is the middle Dantian, also known as Lingtai. The lower Dantian is the spring in the center of the foot. There are different opinions.

People believe that the Dantian is an important part of nourishing the whole body, so there is a saying that "no fire can make all the body warm, and no water can make all the internal organs moist, which is related to the life of the whole body. If the thread is not broken, life will not die."

Shangdantian: This is where Yintang is located, that is, Niwan Palace, Shengyang Mansion, Kunlun Peak, Lingtai, etc. Taoism refers to many names. It can be said that they are named after each. There are different opinions, but they are just based on the brain. Among them, Xuanguan refers to

The two eyes, eyebrows and forehead, and the center of the cross between the nose bones, Taoists also attach great importance to, and consider it to be the door to Taoism, or generally refers to the foundation of Qigong. It is considered to be the spiritual root of heaven and earth, the ancestral orifice, and ancestral Qi, which is the most precious treasure.

The Upper Dantian is on the path of the Governor Vessel and belongs to Yang. It is the place where Yang Qi is concentrated. It is the place where the spirit is stored and the nerve center in charge of conscious activities. It is the main part of practicing Qigong and entering tranquility. The function of the Upper Dantian is to exercise the nerves.

The system controls one's conscious activities, regulates and strengthens the nerve center, inhibits the overall metabolic function, thereby exerting an energy storage effect. This helps to recuperate, accumulate energy to fight against diseases, and gain health. Therefore, after practicing Qigong, you feel that your physical strength is enhanced.

Being energetic makes sense.

The upper Dantian is located on the head, and the head is the meeting point of all Yangs. Patients with sunken qi, fear of wind and cold in the head, cerebral anemia, and hypotension can consciously keep the upper Dantian. However, beginners of Qigong should not immediately focus on the upper Dantian to avoid

The upward flow of qi causes dizziness; patients with excessive yang (such as inflammation of the heart fire, hyperactivity of liver yang, and high blood pressure) should not be careful to guard the Dantian.

The middle Dantian is the location of the Tanzhong, which extends from the twelve floors down from the Chengjiang (referring to the throat) to the Huangting (referring to the empty orifice in the human body, or under the heart...). The Cowherd represents the heart as yang, and contains the liver and gallbladder.

Both spleens have their own specialties and work together to cultivate the heart. Therefore, there is a saying: "My family specializes in cultivating our own fields, which can raise spiritual seedlings and live for thousands of years... Irrigation must be based on the Shanggu Spring (referring to the top of the tongue and the roof of the mouth, the so-called white-headed Laozi's rhythmic fluid reaches the Magpie Bridge)

, one day when you have completed your merits, you will be Penglai Daluo Immortal."

The Dantian is located in the chest. If the patient suffers from sunken Qi and the woman has menorrhagia, she can keep the Dantian in her chest, but it can easily cause chest tightness, so she should use it with caution.

Lower Dantian: This is the Zhengdantian, located below the navel, or called the sea of ​​qi, where life is stored. The Weaver Girl represents the kidney as yin.

According to Taoism, the Weaver Girl is used to represent the kidney, which is the true yin, and the hexagram is the kan.

Coupling is a metaphor for the union of yin and yang between a man and a woman to produce elixirs. Heart-kidney intercourse, water-fire intercourse, dragon-tiger intercourse, etc. are all terms used in Qigong practice. The "water-fire intercourse refining pool" in the picture is a metaphor for the heart and kidneys.

The place of intersection.

The lower Dantian is the main part of qi induced by practicing. Its function is to exercise the body fluid system and stimulate the energy substances in the body to regulate and enrich the body fluid circulation, improve the overall metabolic function, and thus exert an excitatory effect. This is beneficial to the human body in enriching the lower qi.

, preventing premature aging, and fitness plays an important role in extending life.

Most qigong practitioners advocate the intention to guard the lower Dantian; because this part has the closest relationship to the life activities of the human body, it is located in the center of the human body, and is where the three meridians of Ren, Du, and Chong meridians move. asxs., and the twelve meridians are also

It is directly or indirectly input into this sutra through Dantian, and then transferred to this internal organ.

The lower Dantian is the base for the rise and fall of true energy, opening and closing, and is also the place where men store their essence and women nourish their fetuses. The "Difficult Sutra" believes that the lower Dantian is "the ancestor of life, the source of vitality, the foundation of the five internal organs, and the source of the twelve meridians."

Root, the meeting point of yin and yang, the door of breathing, the place where water and fire meet." Therefore, qigong practitioners often use the Dantian as the main place to exercise, gather, and store true energy. Human vitality originates from the kidneys and is stored in the Dantian. Through the three burners,

It circulates throughout the body to promote the functional activities of the internal organs. The strength of the human body, life and death, all depend on the rise and fall of Dantian vitality, so health practitioners attach great importance to maintaining the Dantian vitality.

When the energy of the Dantian is abundant and strong, the potential of the human body can be mobilized, so that the true energy can circulate throughout the body. By guarding the Dantian, the yin and yang can be adjusted, the heart and kidneys can be communicated, the true energy can be enriched and the eight meridians can be smoothed, the innate physiological functions can be restored, and the body can be promoted.

Health and longevity.

"Actually, I want to be reborn through Nirvana through the blood of Yuan Feng, but the Hunyuan bodies of the three of us have been completely restored, so Nirvana will be even more difficult," Xiang Jian said.

"It's scary to think about crushing yourself. Such a crazy masochist doesn't have to cultivate enough." Donghuang Yu said.

"So this is what worries me the most. There is a way, but it doesn't work. I have to find another way." Xiang Jian said frankly.

"Actually, I have seen a jade slip, but... alas!" Donghuang Xi said.

Donghuang Mingyue looked at Donghuang Xi and said: "You said that you don't need to use Dantian, but use all the cells in the body, right?"

"You also know?" Donghuang Xi asked curiously.

"Of course, it's just that some of the swords were taken off the mark. I just browsed through it casually, and I was a little impressed." Donghuang Mingyue said.

"What's the principle?" Huang Jince asked. Dongfang Xiong and Xue Jian also listened carefully, obviously interested.

Donghuang Xi said: "There was probably a Taoist who was unable to practice because of the inherent differences in Dantian, so he proposed a method of practicing through seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points throughout the body to correspond to every cell in the body, thereby achieving a practice with greater potential than Dantian.

Way, this madness is a theoretical delusion."

Donghuang Mingyue said: "As he said, there are a total of 720 acupuncture points in the human body, 402 of which are used for medical purposes, of which there are 108 vital acupuncture points. There are live points and dead points, which are not fatal.

There are seventy-two acupoints and thirty-six fatal acupoints. There are approximately fifty-two single acupoints, 309 double acupoints, and fifty extrameridian odd acupoints all over the human body, for a total of 720 acupoints.

"

"One hundred and eight key points, of which 72 are generally touched, pressed, and rubbed using massage techniques so as not to harm the human body. The remaining thirty-six points are fatal points, commonly known as "dead points." These thirty-six points are fatal points.

Although the six acupoints are fatal, normal massage will not have any adverse effects."

"The so-called fatal must be caused by unexpected gravity, abnormal force, or dangerous objects. The fatal points are divided into four points: soft numbness, dizziness, light and heavy points. Each type has nine points. The total is thirty-six points.

This is a fatal point, used as a 'killer' in a life-and-death struggle."

After Donghuang Mingyue finished speaking, he added: "Acupoints are the subcutaneous electric field areas with the highest potential shared by humans and animals. They are the places where the nerve trunks and nerve endings pass. They are the places with the highest electric potential energy in the bodies of humans and animals. Acupoints are the areas with the highest electric potential in China.

Nouns unique to culture and medicine refer to places with more nerve endings and blood vessels. Damage or necrosis of this part, as well as external damage and obstruction, will cause symptoms such as numbness, swelling, itching, pain, soreness, etc., and even the formation of tissues and organs.

, circulation, heart and brain discomfort, and can also lead to disability, suffocation and death. Acupuncture points are important electric fields in the living body and are also places closely connected with the brain."

"Then what are cells?" Dongfang Xiaobao asked.

"Human cells are the basis of the structure and physiological functions of the human body. It is believed that the human body is composed of many cells, just like every brick, stone, and green tile. When they are combined reasonably, they form a house or a city wall.

." Donghuang Xi said.

Donghuang Mingyue said: "Although the bricks and tiles have been assembled, there are still many gaps, and the same is true for the gaps between cells. Making full use of the human body to store is always much more than using the Dantian to store reserves.

.”

"This man is a genius. Such fantastic ideas can be theoretically justified. Who is he?" Xue Jian asked.

"It seems to be called Jiuli Taoist. The name should be related to Chi You's tribe. However, no one has ever tried this method. It can easily be regarded as a heretic by the famous and upright people in the three realms." Donghuang Xi said.

"Generally, warriors store Qi from the Dantian, and then use moves to stimulate it through the tendons, just like filling a tank with water first, and then scooping it out when it is needed. Cultivators also store Xuanqi from the Dantian, and then use this Qi to communicate with heaven and earth.

The mysterious force in space can move elements when it is small, and it can be rules when it is big. These are all differences between quality and quantity, just like using flames to ignite a fire. Once the firewood outside burns, it will continue to burn." Donghuang Mingyue said.

"This explanation is very thorough and worth a try. However, your bodies have not fully recovered yet, so we can only carefully consider our ideas. It is up to the three of us to implement them. After all, we have Hunyuan bodies and we are not afraid of failure. If it works,

You guys try again." Wu Cidi said.

The next step was to discuss the operation process and menstrual routes, especially the 720 acupuncture points, which cost the ten of them a lot of trouble. Finally, the planned hundreds of routes were reduced to dozens, and then to a dozen, and then

There were several, and finally Wu Cidi, Xiang Jian, and Xue Jian tried them one by one.
