Way of Taiji Regimen
1. Argumentation about spirit:
The three treasures of bodybuilding are maintaining the vigor and then turn it to inner energy, maintaining the inner energy and turned it to spirit and the third, keep all of them in good care. If one can do it well, one can become energetic and intelligent and can accomplish the tasks that are beyond their abilities, and achieve the degree, which the others cannot get to. The way is called the way of Taiji Regimen, which means to master the three treasures of bodybuilding and the regularity of the change between the vigor, inner energy and the spirit. When one exercises and cultivates it, he can achieve the goal of bodybuilding and live a long life.
2.Taiji argumentation
Taiji was generated by Wuji and combined by yin and yang (that is one Qi is diverted into two namely yin and yang, when yin and yang combined the
Mixture is called Taiji) But what means Taiji? Laozi said: Void is the beginning of heaven and earth, which means the mixture. Mixture is the vitality, the original elements that composed the world. Thus “ void” got its name. The original world was born from yin and yang and later it developed in them but at that time, there was no limit between yin and yang. It was the very beginning of myriad creatures in the world. Void has no limits.
When the mixture had been divided and the original pattern of world was set, yin and yang began to combine with each other. That is called “ tangible world comes from the intangible one” “ tangible world is the mother of everything in the world, which was called Taiji later on. For example, the combination of the heaven and the earth and yin and yang gave birth to myriad creatures. The movement of the sun and the moon brought forth the 4 seasons. Intercourse between the male and the female give birth to new life. This is called Taiji and thus became the mother of everything.
3. Liang Yi Argumentation
Taiji, the real meaning is tranquility and peace. The combination of is as a whole, in which there is object, the limit of tranquility turns into the separation of yin and yang, so they are called two components, thus, when the two components separates, one is dead and when the two combines, new life begins.
4. Human being is born in the vitality and then lives in it. Vigor comes from food. It is unclear, feminine and mobile; while the inner energy comes from the vigor It is clear, masculine and stationary. They are the main components of the heart and the kidney of the human body.. When the body is full of vigor, human being has life while it is frail, people will die. The opposite is that the vigor converts into the inner energy thus the spirit, these two then combine perfectly, thus Taoism and immortal come into being. However, the two belong to the character and the will. The character is like ape that is restless and belongs to yin, while the will is like horse that is still and belongs to yang.
When one can control the ape that is his character, the horse that is his will will be under his control automatically. Therefore, in order to control their character and will, the practioners try their best to strengthen their character and will. They also turn the air they inhaled to the inner energy and further the spirit. When one keeps on to be energetic, he can live a long life and take his body in good care, which is the good result of the cultivation.
Harmony between the heart and the will, the will and the inner energy, and the inner energy and the spirit call the six harmonies. Only these elements are harmonious with each other, one can live and grow. Therefore, the way of Taiji
Regime is the way to live a long life, the root of the life and the step stone of becoming the immortal.
Xiaocheng kungfu of Taoism is to convert the vigor to inner energy, the pure inner energy, then transfer the inner energy to spirit, the real spirit. When the spirit and the inner energy combine, light of character comes out. The whole process is like the bud of flower blossoms over the wall, and also like the precious bead high in the sky lightens the darkness.
The scripts said: When the flowers began to blossom, it is the best time to be appreciated. Pick and swallow them down is a good way to add nourishment to the body. Pick and accumulate them when they are mature, one can get its essence. When the real character and the real essence are combined, Dacheng kungfu is generated.
The way to practise:
There are many ways to practise, such as walking, stopping, sitting and lying ect. One cannot stick to one pattern. Now illustrate the sitting style cautious as follow:
Before sitting, loosen the cloths and sink the heart slightly, make sure that the body should be upright and not bound by anything else. The blood vessels go through freely. Sweep away the distracting thoughts in order to concentrate.
Sit cross legs. Before sitting, erect the body with legs flat and sit in a natural way. Curl back the right leg then the thigh. Pull the left leg and put it on the right bone with the left leg outwards in the embracing gesture.
The thumb of the right hand grasps its middle finger is called Wuzi jue with the thumb of the left hand in the right one and then grasp the Zizi jue. This is called Ziwu shuang jue. Embrace the right hand is with yang on the back yin under arms. It is on the male’s left and female ‘s right side. Put the hands in the conjunction of two thighs and the belly.
Xu ling ding Jin:
Look to the bridge of the nose, with the tip of the tongue face against the upper palate. Be sure that do not close eyes tightly or the vitality will be in disorder, while open them too wide, the vitality will go out and cannot come back, thus one cannot get any effect. It is the best to look at the middle of two eyes.
After the thoughts dispassionate, pay attention to the eyes and ears and respire with nose. When begin to practise, one needs to let the air ascend from and descend to Dantian. After a period of time, all the energy comes to the middle of the body and intelligence ascends. Light of intelligence appears in the two eyes. Dan script says: heart ape is locked on the olive tree and it is true.
It is usually observe that among the 5 elements, the energy gathers naturally. If failed in one aspect, then energy is motivated. Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. When the stationary goes to its extreme motion is produced. Then Dantian produces the pure energy, namely heat is generated. Void room became pale (Ling light appears and gradually becomes bright, and it changes from faint to pale. It is also called the light of character.
script says: Look at the middle of the two eyes and brighten the heart to hold Zuqiao, these motions can testify one’s Kungfu. It is cultivated oneself and his heart to the pure character. So the way is called the basic feat.
Annotation: Zuqiao locates in between the two eyebrows; the ling light appears in the very place if one’s character is pure. This is also the source of immortal way.
4. Zhoutian Augmentation
Close the eyes engrossingly and wait calmly, wait until there is enough inner energy in the Dantian and descend the air naturally, then go out from the valley and go over 3 passes. At last, ascend along Dumai, but after surmounting the three passes, the process becomes very difficult. So respiration should be adjusted and one should control the depth of the respiration. . Tu na dao yin techniques should be used. When the adjustments are made, energy and air should be interdependent and contain each other.
When inhale, go out of the valley and surmount the three passes, raise air along Dumai, while exhale, go out from Baihui and cross the bird bridge then descend for 12 floors along Dumai. Sink the air to Dantian; this is called Xiaozhou tian way of motion.
When the air is raisin, heat wave will ascend along Dumai while when the air sinks, cool wave will descend from Baihui till to Dantian. When one has a hot or numb sense, it is called picking up the herb medicine and putting it to the furnace (script says that raising the air is picking up the herb medicine while sinking the air to Dantian is called putting to the furnace)
Meanwhile whenever deep breath exist and air sinks, a cool wave goes downward to all part of the body from Baihui. The feeling is just like to have a shower, so it is called bathing, after which the air goes free and the blood circulate smoothly, the whole body gets warm. This is the success of zhoutian feat.
5. Dadao Argumentation
Like this practise continually but not too diligent, every air the root, ling light appears and observe while keep it with the inhaling and exhaling descending and ascending, the energy is motivated. One will have a comfortable and mysterious feeling. During this process, one should have observed the truth. (script says it is like observing emptiness in fact which is not empty) observe not defense (script says, Live but don’t possess is the appearance, all the energy will disappear. The air of respiration gradually dims away till Taixi, when achieve this degree, one feels a sense of trance. In the process, Nei xiang can’t come out and wai xiang cannot come out, this is called Jingding (tranquility)
All of a sudden, one has a fresh feeling and become energetic, intelligence thus is produced. This is the good result of turning the inner energy to the spirit. And then one can become immortal.
Afterwards, there is something like pure yang appearing from it . One can see the heaven and the earth once again and can thoroughly understand it. Achieving this, one gets Dadao and it is not far away to become the immortal.
