Neigong

(Internal Alchemy)

Curriculum and Essential Teaching Points

By Wang Yen-nien

Translated by Julia Fairchild

　

Neigong and TuNa (the Daoist art of breathing) lessons are taught at the beginning and reviewed at middle of each semester for all students at the Yen-nien Daoguan.

The practice of Neigong involves (1) an amalgamation of jing, qi and shen in the physical body, (2) the absorption of sun, moon and star energy from the heavens, and (3) the absorption of water, fire, and wind energy from the earth. Together, these three crystallize the naturally occurring immortality drug, Neidan, used for better health and longevity.  (More information below.)
