"The practice is immortal in the dream," knight* schools founded by Patriarch Chen Tuan

(Chen Sija), the previous generation received this practice and carefully stored, with time
issued a secret internal methods of work of the knight school in the system. Cinnabar
canons and military books of future generations even something published, but not fully, in
some detail referred to the false names, often diverging from the original. Now the texts are
in conformity with the principles, specific methods of practice consistent with the
principles of the practice, below is the detailed introduction.

1, Art to swallow the qi, maintain and pull (Fuzi doing)
For practice prepare the pills in sleep is required to prepare a tightly closed, calm from
anxiety bedroom; comfortable linens and feather bed, and high, approximately 2 CUN (1
CUN = approx. 3,33. cm) pillow. A day before training need to loosen your clothes, remove
the belt, women also need to let your hair down; throughout the body a pleasant sensation,
nothing to do, and not wanting, it is not to restrain themselves. Only then can, according to
the following stages of training, progress in the improvement and hardening.

1. Adjustment of qi: the head facing South, feet facing North, straight body lying face
upward on the pillow. Both eyes easily closed language props up the sky. Both
hands clenched into fists (thumb tucked to the center of the palm, four fingers cover
the thumb), the elbow naturally straight, lie on the sides at a distance of
approximately 5 inch from the body. Thighs naturally straight and divorced, feet are
apart at a distance of about 5 inch, facing to the left and to the right (Fig. 1).
After the adoption, pursuant to the above, a comfortable prone position, to eliminate
the noisy thoughts, focusing on the natural breath through the nose, breathing need
to adjust to subtle and long, ears not to hear its sound. Counting the breaths in one
breath, only to do a 360 breaths.
2. Conducting qi: continuing the above steps. The nose slowly inhale, the belly
gradually filled and bulges. Be suspended, then the qi of the stomach should be in the
mouth and subtly-subtly spits, and no exhale to finish, besides, you should hear his
sound. Breath/spitting one breath, only to perform a 180 breaths. During the execution
of the breaths thought to contemplate and to think the following:
(1) Before the 15th of the lunar month, to unclench his fists, at the same time slowly
inhale through nose, imagine how clean the air outside, and using 10 fingers of both

hands is pulled into the stomach (a particular path of movement of qi is not required to
submit too clearly. Fig. 2).

(2) After the 15th of the month according to the lunar calendar, hands clench into fists, now
during the slow breath through the nose the idea is not moving, but during vypilivaya
through the mouth with the thought of qi from the abdomen exhaled through 10 toes (a
particular path of movement of qi is not required to submit too clearly. Fig. 3).

Ending the practice ("collecting"), hands squeeze into fists, the contemplation of the idea to
stop. Slowly inhale with the nose after the abdomen will progressively protrude and be
filled with, hold your breath (not the mouth spit qi, nose inhales); at the same time myself
carefully counting numbers, calculating the length of the cherished breath. Achieving
duration, it is intolerable, again mouth to make easy no such. After breathing becomes
uniform and harmonious in the mouth accumulated saliva in three gulps sent to dantian in
the abdomen, and then get out of bed, having finished practice.
Note: every time, improving zadavanie (lock) breathing during the gathering operation, at
the same time we must strive to gradually increase the time sathawane
The main effect of enhancement and quenching:
Adjustment of qi, also known as the "regulation of respiration", is the initial skill practice is
immortal in a dream". The ancient people believed, due to the fact that feelings and
thoughts are dependent on events and things, often indulging the desires, the breath is in

disorder, it is impossible to control yourself. Just for the time to be quiet, soon the
confusion returned. Therefore, using the ability to adjust the breathing, you can do so that
the heart and the breath will rely on each other, communicate thoughts, from dispersion to
stabilize.
The main point of the enhancement and quenching practice in sleep is to harmonize the
body and the heart* according to their nature. It is also unacceptable to be in a hurry to
achieve success, and not to strive with persistent thought, need to adhere to the ancient said
"does not bring thoughts to the struggle. If you can improve and tempering, regulating your
breathing, maintain a healthy stable state of mind, to eliminate all sorts of harmful thoughts,
emotions and confused thinking, will be able to achieve the main goal of an obedient and
healthy qi of the body. Based on this, the ancients often used the regulation of qi as an
adjunct in the sedation of human nature, from the adjustment of qi passed to regulated
breathing, all together led to the process of stopping thoughts in meditation. Subsequently,
over time, improvement and hardening of the internal the pills became known as internal
respiration.
* Shnxn body and soul (arr. also in values.: physical and mental condition)
The conduct of qi, also known as "swallowing qi", "qi absorption", "long breath" is
considered the greatest in vusani and no such breathing (tuna)*, followed by the ability of
inner improvement of the reference and the stretching (daoyin). The ancients believed, in
the conduct of a qi is required to pay attention to the knowledge of the input and output.
Nose, or heaven's gate. Also known as the "celestial root"** ""Three external necessities"
of the ten books on correction true" published: "the Nose is associated with six hollow
organs*** * external easy clean qi belongs to Yang, receives from heaven is the heavenly
root Tanggang". Mouth, or entrance. Another name for "Root of the earth." It is written,
"the Mouth is associated with five dense bodies****external heavy turbid qi belongs to
Yin; the essence Jin hundred grains and flavors from all over the earth, through the mouth
of man takes from the earth, is called the root of the earth." Thus, the nose is taken by the
pure qi, mouth turbid qi is produced, it creates obedient qi, and rebellious qi returns.
Recalcitrant clog, obedient opens the passage, it's the sky-land of Yin and Yang is the
Supreme principle.

** Tin gn kit. astr. Tanggang (star in the constellation )
*** Lif kit. med. six organs of palaces fu (gallbladder, stomach, small intestine,
large intestine, urinary bladder)
**** Wzng kit. med. five internal Oganov-storage: heart, liver, spleen, lungs,
kidneys
As for doing, based on the specifics of the life processes of the human body "when absorb
qi increase qi, let qi after qi", joining together with a "corresponding to the celestials" the
traditional view of the use of growth and loss of the moon, the law of nature, the increase or
decrease of Yin and Yang, was composed in this art, since doing.
The doctrine of the eight trigrammic says, Gen (trigram) is the nose, DUI is the mouth,
Xun's hands, Zhen is feet. If the two trigrams Gen and Xun converge as the mind and qi
inside Yin is born of Yang; trigram Zhen and DUI agree as souls, Hun and po*, and inside
Yang is born Yin. Based on this, every month according to the lunar calendar between 1 and

15 numbers, when the moon is in the growth, the Yin of the moon is decreasing, Yang
increasing, the nose retracts pure qi, qi outside of the body is inhaled through the 10 fingers
of both hands. Every month on the lunar calendar from 16 to 30, when the moon is in
detriment, moon Yang decreasing, Yin increasing, the mouth produces turbid qi, qi is
exhaled from 10 fingers of both feet. Thus, long driving and pulling (practicing daoyin), by
force of the hands and feet natural movement and transformation of Yin and Yang, creates
the base of the next step of enhancement and quenching, the creation of embryonic
breathing.
* Hnp spirit and soul (immortal 3 positive and negative mortal parts of the
human soul)
The essence of training and special instructions:
In the Taoist improving and hardening our country (China), great attention is paid to the
important role of qi in the body and of human life. Sun Simiao at the time, said, despite the
fact that feeding practices of life (Jansen) in improving and hardening a lot, and their
transfer in secret, they do not go beyond the function of respiration. Qi is people live, qi is
exhausted and the person dies, the breath locking the interested few! Ordinary people only
know that through the mouth to eat cereal, I don't know how to use the nose to eat qi,
although from morning till evening continuously breathe, but these breaths are many people
lack; brutish and short may not be thin and long; fast and the surface can not be slow and
deep; so is a ban in school improvement and school. Large specialist feeding life the era of
the Jin (265-416.) GE Hong also very appreciate the art of since. "The first part of
Baopuzi Supreme truth" said: "Taking medication (meaning "cinnabar medicine") would
create the Foundation of immortality, if can match with the conducting of qi (since), the
benefits will be better and faster. If you can not possess a cure, but can conduct the qi, and
will exhaust its principles, then you will get hundreds of years of life."
Methods since transmitted through the generations from ancient times, very many, only
Seven retrievals of cloud stacks" contains entries on dozens of schools. Despite the fact that
the methods varied, the main provisions of the workouts are identical. Everywhere you
want during since, thickening the spirit and be cleansed from the worries, and no such
vusanje (tuna), during the restraint qi, you need to make easy, slow, steady, long, deep.
What is called easy, meaning that the breath is thin and light, as if absent; that is called a
slow, means that the breath is calm, slow, not quick-tempered; what is called smooth,
means that the achieved rate does not fluctuate from the gross to the subtle; what is called
the long means that the length of the intervals between the breaths need to increase;
introducing qi in the nose and throwing him in mind to count up to 20, 30, 50 and up to 100
or more only then do you slowly exhale (lit. spit out). What is called the deep, means that
when qi lock, allow qi to penetrate in a hundred channels of dense and hollow organs,
eventually to permeate the whole body. In addition, during the "Fuzi doing" enhancement
and quenching also need to pay attention to the following points.
(1) training should be scheduled daily after midnight until noon. This period, every day
from 2 o'clock to 11 o'clock until noon. At this time, qi in the sky-the earth turns into Yangqi, also known as the vital qi (Shen qi); and in the period from 13 o'clock in the afternoon
until 23 o'clock, qi sky-the earth turns to Yin-qi, also known as dead qi (Sici). So for doing

swallowing qi, biranjem and no such should choose Shen qi.

2)When warmed by body sweat, you should avoid wind to prevent penetration of the
cooling into the body that can lead to disease. During the gathering operation in any case it
is not necessary to hurry up, you need calm and quiet to lie down for a minute, in order to
avoid disturbance of the heart and spirit, which can affect the results of your workout.
(3) Firmly to compress brushes in a fist is the most important secret in the practice of the
immortal in a dream". But in the initial period of improvement and hardening, while
improving the "art of foci doing", due to the fact that the paths qi has not yet opened, you
need while doing to reveal his fists and unclench fingers to move in training strictly in
accordance with the learning material. Only waiting when the four limbs will move freely
the power of qi, the centers of the palms will sweat, after entering the stage of the
development of embryonic breathing, you long to clench his fists clenched.
(4) During training, there is a sensation unconscious desire to sleep, in this case, it is
possible to sleep, nothing to do. Making during the obscurations of unawareness through
force, on the contrary lead to confusion of thoughts; thoughts are spoiled, the qi is in
disorder, and lose the true way. This is the first place in the practice of the "art of foci
doing", it is necessary to pay full attention.
(5) a Long time practicing, since doing, feel the whole body moist then the pores are
opened, when the hands and legs will become passable for qi, it is a positive result of
practicing this art. Only then can you improve and harden "the art of the bow castle of
embryonic breathing
The art of the bow castle of embryonic breathing
The body is straight, with the head pointing South, feet North, under the head pillow. Eyes
easily closed and the tongue touches the upper palate. Brush clenched into fists, both
elbows naturally straight, lie on the sides of the body at a distance of approximately 5 inch.
Legs naturally straight, feet divorced from each other by about 5 inch, toes pointing left and
right (Fig. 4).

After taking a comfortable position lying down, eliminating various vain thoughts, first tap
the teeth 36 times (lips are closed, the upper and lower teeth knocking against each other),

then the accumulated saliva in the mouth, divide by 3 sips, thinking to send the Dantian in
the abdomen.
Simultaneously with the way his nose finely-finely inhaled chi, belly bulges and gradually
filled, then stop breathing, considering the length of time in the mind of respiratory arrest,
Wait until the chest is vexation of qi, it is impossible to tolerate, then finely exhale mouth.
Thus do the exercise once, after breathing calm down, do it again. The number of
repetitions is unlimited, but every time you stop breathing, try to gradually increase its
duration; thus it is possible to delay the bill by 100 to 1000, is no longer sway down,
podnesnny to the nose, this is the beginning of the formation of the embryonic breathing.
If you listen to the words of the ancients, the improving, you can stop breathing for up to
250 accounts, then blossoming veils (eyebrows) make clear, ears and eyes sensitive, help
the body do not get sick, evil human not to touch, and can be immortal. If you continue to
persistently engage, you can gradually reach nevypuskani Qi from the mouth, the big
achievement when just inside the nose leisurely short breath.
Main points and special situation exercises:
The goal of this art is to improve and strengthen daily after midnight and until noon during
shenqi, afternoon and before midnight, during syci, it is impossible to train.
(2) during the time when overcast, heavy fog, strong wind and bad weather, or too cold,
pause the improvement and training.
(3) Whether, you inhale the qi or vyplvyvae, it is equally their sound to make
neslyimym for ears, bring breath to thin, continuous state.
(4) before the improvement and hardening germinal breathing, good warm up with a cup of
warm wine, irrigation can achieve 6 hollow
organs, sequencing of the opening and closing of qi, which plays in the improvement and
hardening of embryonic breathing, a beneficial role.
(5) In the food and drink to beware of sour, salty, fatty foods, especially to avoid pork and
raw fruits.
(6) After joining the improvement and hardening of the "art of the bow castle of embryonic
breathing," can be simultaneously combined with the practice of contemplation* dream"
from "art of foci doing, you can give up and not train.
* Chn - contemplation, better known as "Zen".
Highlights the effect of improving and hardening
The art of qi lock is a very ancient and very widespread practice of food life (Jansen), in
"Records of the power of life and extending longevity" Tao Hong Jing, the era of the
Southern dynasties, "the Secret counsel of transformations prigorodnogo absorption inner
primary qi" rennesance era, as well as in the "Essential prescription worth a thousand gold,
sun Simiao, equally there are records that the ancients used it as one of the important means
of banishing disease, of treatment of diseases.
Transferred to Chen Tuan "the art of the bow castle of embryonic breathing" a bit more, the
main provisions of the locking of respiration not only in the Epistle to the viscera qi and a
hundred channels, bringing to impregnate the whole body, but also has a Foundation "the

art of daoyin Fuzi" enhancement and quenching to ensure that there are no leaks vital
energy of the whole body (internal qi) to the outside, to reduce it to a minimum here and
the key to success in life extension. "A treatise on swallowing Chi" says: "Dao is qi, having
qi acquire Dao, finding the Tao, prolong life". In "the Secret treatise of the ascension on
Tiva*" says: "qi is Interrupted is referred to as dead, locked qi is called the immortal."
Eminent writer of the Northern song dynasty su Shi (second name - the hermit Dongpo),
examining the essence of Anshan "Essential prescription worth a thousand gold" sun
Simiao, Tang dynasty, experienced, practiced safely, one after the other cured many
diseases, have repeatedly achieved notable success. Their views and training methods build
a quiet way, he recommended a good friend, a recommendation of su Shi is the art of
embryonic breathing," su Shi, reading the fifth Chapter "Essential prescription worth a
thousand gold" sun Simiao about feeding life "Methods of regulating qi, comprehended and
understood. Write the text separately, in accordance with the principle of naturalness, the
writing is unsophisticated and easy to understand, plays a very important role for our
understanding of the "art of the castle of nasal embryonic breathing" of Chen Tuan. The
following is a statement for better understanding.
* hi ngn wi kit. astr. Tiva (one of three of the starry sky)
The procedure of the nourishment of life, by embryo creating basis, this is unquestionably
said about the immortality, it does not cause doubts. But, without locking tsi, after
permitting it to leave and to enter, it is far to boundlessly stretch (similarly to the immense
water spaces, extensive and misty), result is imperceptible; one should it naturally stop, fear
not to calculate. To lock and to stop, not more than less than a hundred respiration, then to
free; even if in lower dantyane is conceived small heat-, benefit will not cover loss, if it is
not decisive in art of removal from peace. Recently deeply it considered, was obtained
result. Reading the fifth composition of the study of yanshen of the true person of Sunya,
repeatedly it investigated, worried about this. Its tactics: the way of the damping of spirit
and feeding of tsi, in the calm room after locking door, to rest on the warm bed, on the
pillow with height 2 tsunya, body lies on the spin directly, eyes are closed, to lock tsi in the
breast diaphragm so that swelled, presented to the tip of nose, it does not move. After 300
respiration to ears something to listen to, to eyes not on what to look; Thus, cold also of
heat they cannot overcome, many scorpions (scorpion it was taken in the antiquity as the
example to poisonous creature) they cannot poison, longevity to 360 years, this is close to
the true person.
The essence of this stage is that the student is still calms the heart and thin the idea of
exploring and digging to the bottom of it by implementing the locking mechanism of qi in
the thoracic diaphragm, it is possible to move fluff from the tip of the nose, a beginner
would be able to withstand 300 breaths! Worrying about the original ("original" similar to
the "original") don't lock up bow-Chi only thought steadfastly to protect the diaphragm, the
exhalations and inhalations through your nose as if moving and not moving, rhythmically
and discreetly; like cover the fuming censer, mouth qi as a vessel of hot water,
samoistselenie inputs and outputs, not the same as respiration, such that the feather does not
move. If the heart does not generate ideas, can be overcome and 300 breaths. It is necessary
again and again to rely on this fundamental method, do lying. Again and again, with the
help of down the nose to rectify true, the idea is to guard qi in the chest, when I wish to
breathe in the breath can not be avoided subtleties, thus, the inputs and outputs of the

original (source) are not interrupted, and the feather does not move, the movement is very
much insignificant. To strengthen the retention of thought, motionless to bring to the limit.
Although it is said is to set the hold, but in the end no stop, number of breaths indefinitely.
Facing small, nonqualifying lot inside guarded a rich fullness, blood circulates freely
through the vessels, top and bottom each other fill, and principles of life fulfilled.
Dear befell that the original (source) idea, very unusual. Nightly burning of incense, made
the disclosure of his heart, he grasped, he realized. Just at that time he had a disease with a
high fever, was not able to walk, however, regularly practiced a little, felt a tangible
improvement. The disease subsided, the fever has subsided, gradually appeared a force-like
effect. Announced to the student: the idea is unacceptable, lightly and with speculation to
disclose it".
In order to help in the understanding of su Shi grasped the principles of "continuous inputs
and outputs of a source" and "limit not restricted to" specially written comments regarding
the regulation of the body and breath of the Buddhist Canon", Anapanasati Sutra" which
provides the confirmation.
"When you talk about exits and entrances through the nose with sound, it is movement of
air; silent, but with stops and not loose, it is heavy breathing; silent and non-stop, but still
rough, not sophisticated, it is qi. Passed these three, then called the breath. Then itself from
the tip of the nose reaches down to the navel, a few calculations, to 10; is made the cycle
starts again, then comes what is tied and committed to peace. Calm again the counting, the
heart to follow the breath, listen to his inputs and outputs. If repeatedly to harmonize,
everything will calm down and will not clutter, cut the path of birth and death, in full
accordance Samadhi, there will be nothing incomprehensible to the foregoing".
Just like the place of the "Tao Shu*" explains: "the Locking of qi, not the same as a
blockage of qi and harmonization of stable spirit and qi, the cessation of thinking, a
forgetting of worries, subtracting, breath in through the nose, as if there, and as if the
present". Gradually, you can achieve that breath abundantly fill the body, one opening and
one closing, will spread everywhere, the smallest places will come into compliance, and the
nose quietly to change the inputs and outputs of qi to a complete stop exhalations and
inhalations, up to the limit stop opening and closing.

on your left side, and the tongue touches the upper palate. Left arm bent at the elbow and
lies on the pillow, right hand palm of the hand covers the belly in the navel area. Left leg
bent at the knee, the right leg naturally straightened, the knee touches the inner thigh, a
little above the knee of the left leg (Fig. 5).

After adopting a comfortable prone position, especially both eyes gently closed, eliminated

elbow, lying on the pillow. The center of his right hand pressed to the cheek (four fingers
located on the side of the "ear gates", the thumb easily presses behind the base of the ear,
the auditory canal remains open; the fingers of the left hand cover the right point Jian-Jing.
Both legs are bent (lit. curl up) and lie on each other, the bends of the knees lifted high, the
closer to the elbow the better (Fig. 6).

After adopting a comfortable prone position, especially both eyes gently closed, then direct
spiritual effulgence and spiritual thought both eyes a calm light* dantian in the abdomen,
concentrated on thickening the spirit, heart and respiration depend on each other, gradually
coming into an empty heart and stopped thinking contemplation.

The main provisions and specific guidance for improving and hardening:
(1) "the Practice of contemplation in a dream" should be to improve and quenching finish
"bow castle* art of embryonic breathing," and then to observe the improvement that

promotes the formation of embryonic breathing.

* - text error. That's right -
(2) specializes in "Lying dragon, who fell asleep" is a demon of sleep, you can overcome
the thirst of sleep, to eliminate the effect of the NAP. The main point of "lying dragon
lapsed into hibernation only to improve the internal qi, to encourage internal qi to circulate
all over the body. Whoever gets to the essence of the improvement should be based on your
personal understanding, to use ingenuity.
* Shum 1) daemon sleep 2) an overwhelming desire to sleep
(3) After the stage of entry into the study of "the practice of contemplation in a dream", the
right time to do the practice method of "Lying dragon went into hibernation" key, "bow
castle art of embryonic breathing, you can leave and practice; while the contemplation of
the dream is not limited to, time of day and weather conditions, in all cases equally possible
to practice the improvement.
(4) If in the contemplation of the sleep, after waking up to slowly tossing the body from
side to side, maximum firmly keeping the calm that was upon awakening, relaxed state of
mind. Just the place of "compilation of the Essence of the purity of nature and fate" States:
"This moment is right on the border between before and after, the moment was not yet
born; this time it seems the achievement "the great calm*", the effect is really impossible to
describe."

4, the Method of abandonment of cereals and food qi.
Face South back North, or toward the East, back West, to sit cross-legged, both eyes are
easily closed, both hands firmly clenched into fists, hanging naturally on both sides of the
pelvic bones, calm heart and eliminate Duma, slowly adjust the breath... after the breath
calm down and straighten up, qi fills the mouth, then slowly swallowed, the stomach after
that bulges at the same time thought to see how qi from swallowing tight spreads on 5 and 6
hollow organs, flows out through the heart (middle) of the palms), heart (mid) feet, 3
outposts and 9 holes (this refers to the 3 outposts: Value*, Best**, ujjani***; eyes, ears,
nose and mouth - Yang, seven holes, and two Yin openings - defecation and urination)
(Fig.7).

Thus, the content of the qi mouth, swallowing, protrusion of the abdomen, forcing dantian
in the abdomen to be filled to the limit. The training duration can be determined
independently.
Picking up work:
Tongue stir a few times in the mouth accumulated saliva (in ancient times it was called "the
red dragon stirs the sea"), and then divide into 3 pieces and swallow into the dantian in the
abdomen. Knock teeth 36 times, then RUB the palms of both hands until heat, wipe the
area of the cheeks 9 times. Both hands cover the lower back (thumb in front, four rear), four
fingers RUB, touching both points Shen-Shu, the number of potiranie unlimited. After the
action of gathering, you can get up.
The main provisions and specific guidance for improving and hardening
(1) In the initial stage of embryonic breathing improving and hardening can be varied.
Training time remains in the interval from 2 o'clock to 11 o'clock, besides you can exercise
in any spare moment. It is prohibited to make the improvement and hardening of lying. In
the lying position qi is difficult to omit that damages the heart and lungs.
(2) the Filling, swallowing and protrusion to harmonize with the mind's contemplation.
During filling and swallowing not to open my mouth to

life energy is not caused abdominal pain and diarrhea. During filling and swallowing, you
need to provide breathing freely in and out, no need to force.

(3) the secret of improving and hardening is "the spirit of calm, desire to quit." Especially
during swallowing qi, swallow slowly, can't rush things, besides it is unacceptable that in
his mouth was the sound. Hasty swallowing leads to blockage of qi in the lower body, qi
accumulates hearts, not at odds, it's also possible rectal prolapse, and easy to cause pain in
the side of the chest. You need to take this seriously!
(4) In the initial period of training occurs the breaking through of qi (internal qi breaks out),
the phenomenon during filling and then swallowing, in any case it is not necessary to let the
internal qi out of his mouth. If the lower part of the body is felt mainly in the back passage)
strong after qi, you should not pay attention, do not interfere with the expiration.
(5) In the process of improving and hardening in the stomach often sounds like "thunder
rumbles, the lightning strikes", it is the internal qi flows, to bathe a hundred obstacles that
builds the image of Yang qi, forms a good skill, in no case do not panic, creating in the
heart of doubt and fear.
(6) the Best time to rejection of grain at the conclusion of practice embryonic breathing after naturally feel an aversion to food and drink. In the initial period of refusal of grain,
there is a feeling of hunger, can make swallowing a few times, at the same time adjusting
the idea. Subsequently, regardless of the amount of content and glotony, you need to
constantly fill your stomach to the limit.
The basic principles of achieving excellence in the improvement and hardening
The ancients believed that the laity use the five cereals* to achieve the appearance of
fatness, but I don't know the source of the disorders of the body. In the "Yellow section
Daoshu says: "the Salty taste heavy sadness strikes five viscera, the clouded mirror of the
soul". "Canon of the yellow courtyard" also notes: "one Hundred grains grow on clean
ground, five flavors**, looks beautiful, porcini devil, smell of blood, the stench of light
confuses the spirit-Shen, disperses qi's embryo, where here from old age back to youth."
Based on this, ancient ancestors, with the aim of achieving a waiver of cereals (rejection of
grain), often United shiqi***(Fuzi) with the implementation of the improvement and
hardening, has formed a tradition of one of the most important methods for improving in
the knowledge of immortality (with regards to the rejection of the grain have a special
interpretation, refer to the "immortal Art of the method of the divine light").
* Wg five major food crops ( usually rice, millet, barley, wheat, beans )
** Wwi five taste sensations ( sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty )
*** Shq swallow air ( exercise deep breathing of Taoists )
Methods of swallowing qi (Fuzi) transmitted since ancient times, so many, such as feeding
the qi of the five elements of the method, the method clock supply, methods of swallowing
pure qi of the sun and moon, method of reception of six signs, and so on, and constantly
applied the rule "use the six Yang hours*". Here we recommend to read the "methods of
refusal of cereals, food qi", is secretly passed to "the method of ingestion of the inner
original qi". Despite the fact that anciently passed to methods, foci very much, should not
think these techniques incomprehensible.
* kit. med. time 23.00. to 11.00. the period of the rise of energy "Yang" and the
decline of energy "Yin", takes a turn from dark to light, from cold to hot
In the ancient Chinese language "the original" like "the original", in fact means the birth
and formation of the substance, when chaotic qi of Yin and Yang of primal matter of the ten
thousand things of heaven and earth have not yet divided, in this case is "original qi".
Ancient people believed that the root of heaven, earth and humans the same - the original qi

is split and converted into three-body (Santi). This kind of product in ancient books Han era
is referred to as the theory of the birth of the Universe on the basis of the formation of the
primordial qi "the ten thousand things are born endowed with primordial qi".
From the point of view of traditional learning enhancement and quenching of initial qi
( ) is also referred to as "qi" (). This is the original qi, the founder of the movement
and the transformation of ten thousand things, also called bridenbecker qi. "Nanjing*" says:
"Qi is also a root person. Die root - leaves wither". "The main part of Boussy - "Supreme
principle" also said: "Every person inside qi, qi, inside people, between the heavens and the
earth subject to the ten thousand things, there is nothing that is not born with qi". Since a
person's transformation and the formation of qi, if the qi really is used in the treatment of
diseases of the refusal of the grains moving in the extension of the years and increasing
longevity, there is no need to doubt its efficiency. Consequently, the most important of life
is "to conserve (similar to the "maintain") a subtle movement of qi".

5, Accessory of dispensing with the grain
1, the Method of purification of desires in the rejection of grain
"Yellow section Daoshu reads: "Swallow qi 5 decades, but can not interrupt the qi of grain
and water" what do you mean?
The point here is that age exceeded 50 years, and the improvement and hardening of
swallowing qi has not reached the level of rejection of the grain, why? What to do? There is
a transfer of "methods of purification of desires."

By this method it is necessary to improve and tempering carried out in a clear day, or
during clearing after rain or snow, noon (11-13 hours) in a quiet bedroom, "spreading hairs"

on the pillow, the body lies head South, feet North, both eyes easily closed and the tongue
touches the upper palate. Both hands clenched into fists (with the tips of the thumbs of both
hands need to touch the folds of the high sign"*, then four fingers cover the thumb; need
middle joint of the middle finger pressed against the base of the nail of the thumb), both
hands naturally straight, lie on the sides of the body at a distance of 5 inch, both fist "heart"
upstream, "back" down. Both legs naturally straight and divorced, between heels 5 inch
distance, toes pointing left and right (Fig. 8).

After adopting a comfortable prone position, raise both fists to the sides up to the rib area
(Fig. 9), then tap his teeth 7 times, eliminate various vain thoughts, calm down, close your
eyes, making art "the nose of the castle embryonic breathing". When in the process of
stivania breath will feel light shortage of air*, both fist clench with the force, so you can
fully engage the muscles and blood vessels, internal qi will penetrate into the bones and
muscles, moisturize skin sweating.

The basic principles of achieving excellence in the improvement and hardening
Is it possible to achieve success in quitting grains, depends on the depth of skill in
embryonic breathing. Improvement and hardening according to this method, at first glance,
has no great differences with the "art of the castle of nasal embryonic breathing", only
slightly different in the way of bending the fingers in the process sathawane breathing
compressed fists with force, this is a exceptional secret "methods of purification of desires
in the rejection of grain."

The hand directs the qi of human physiology, the root of the entire in breath, channels ten
fingers have matching: thumb corresponds to the channel of the lungs, the index finger
corresponds to the channel of the large intestine, the middle finger corresponds to the
pericardium channel, the ring finger corresponds to the triple heater channel, the little
finger corresponds to the heart channel and small intestine. For example the massage,
knowing traditional theory of the circulation in the channels, at the hour Hai (between 21 to
23 hours immersed in the contemplation of the* refers to the hexagram kun**; qi and blood
the human body return to CIHI (refers to the tan Tien in the abdomen). The hour of Tzu
(from 23 hours to 1 hour) in the middle of the night, refers to hexagram Fu***; qi and
blood the human body return to channel "first Yang", are flocking to value. Ancient
ancestors used touch thumbs "folds sign high ring finger and little finger, its main purpose
is the suppression of the triple heater Meridian and the Meridian of the heart, restriction of
movement and transformation of qi and blood in both channels, in order to fill and
strengthen yanskoe qi in dantian, bring to a penetration into the bones and numerous
muscles, to saturate the skin. In addition, the pressing of the middle joint of the middle
finger to the thumb to the point of light (Shao Shang), controls and regulates the respiratory
function of the lungs.
Based on this, the "Secrets of immortality" says: "you squeeze both fists, so gather together
qi. This locking mechanism is a wonderful way to turn back the clock about". Tao HUNTIN
also in the box with the "Record of the feeding of nature and life extension" strong grip of
the kulaks was viewed as a way to curb the rational soul, the Hun and control the animal
soul. Also, I noted: "it is a lock seed-Ching is a method of extending the life and turning of
the soul; also you can have the whole day to keep malicious qi and the hundred poisons will
not be able to penetrate".

Compression of fists in the early ancient times was the main secret of feeding life
"hardening of the form qi lock," also is often teamed up with "feeding life the concealment
of desires." In detail explanation of the ancient method of the thirteen sections of the
feeding of life" at the time, said: "the Heart of man is threefold. The heart Foundation
referred to human senses (gensini*), his spirit is concentrated in the mind, the spirit is
called heaven (Tian), his spirit is concentrated in the cases referred to the earth spirit
(design). A total of three functions, Tianxin generates the seed-Jin, design generates qi,
gensini begets blood". It describes the physiological function of the human heart in relation
to the three dantana. On this basis, formulated the conclusion: "I want to control the heart,

you need to clench his fists, also the method is explained step by step: "to beat the desire
down to the soul-Ling ... as soon clenching his fists touched the folds of the sign hi, now
my wishes are collected at the source. Desires reside in the source, and qi of the whole

In ancient times, in theory, improve feeding was considered, red gate are the refuge of the
spirit-Shen, dark-red Palace* does not move, then the seed-Jin not anxious, and the spirit
doesn't get tired. From the above we can see the grip of the kulaks and the concealment of
desires are closely connected, interact with each other. It is possible to accurately grasp the
inner content of "compression of fists and concealment of wishes, first, to accumulation of
qi to the limit, then to achieve the effect of changes in physiological processes. In this
subtle essence of the expression "qi in abundance, don't think about food, the spirit-Shen is

* Jing gng dark red Palace, red Palace in the center of the chest), heart.
Method of rejection of the grain feeding of the embryo
Improvement and hardening by this method should be performed daily in the morning after
awakening, on an empty stomach.
The body is lying face up, head East, feet West, leaning on the pillow. Both eyes are easily
closed, mouth keep two beans Szechuan pepper (irritation in the mouth increases the flow
of saliva). Both hands clench into fists (not touching the folds of the high sign), elbows
naturally straighten, to each side of the body at a distance of about 5 inch. Both legs
straighten naturally and breed, stops are at a distance of about 5 inch, toes pointing left and
right (as shown in Fig.10).

After adopting a comfortable prone position, to eliminate various vain thoughts, to calm
down, adjust the breath. When thoughts and breath, calm down, you need to concentrate
thought and the spiritual light of both eyes in the upper dantian, inside lighting the idea and
hold for about 1 minute, then you need the spiritual light of both the eyes and mind move
down to highlight the idea and hold inside the middle dantian for 1 minute, again the
spiritual light in both eyes and the thought of having to move lower to cover the idea inside
the lower dantian and hold for approximately 1 minute.
After the concentration of thought in each of the three dantian, the spirit and thought should
be concentrated under the tongue. After a slow inhale through the nose, mouth accumulated

saliva to swallow in one gulp, with a sound in the throat, at the same time thought to run
inside the dantian, through the mouth then exhale quietly. It is one SIP feeding of the
embryo, to make one for the other 90 SIPS. After a short adjustment breath, to do another
90 SIPS. Each day at a time to do 4 sets of 90 drops, in total 360 SIPS.
When the 100 days swallowing saliva, every time, during the adjustment of breathing
between sets for 90 SIPS, or after the whole workout, add improved "method 6 qi", in case
of occurrence of deviations and to cure various diseases.
(1) Every time I swallow saliva need during exhalation. If you swallow during inspiration,
it is easy to have a pathogenic effect on the stomach. You need to take this seriously!
(2) Each time after ingestion, for the mind and spirit from dantian in the abdomen rises up
to place under the tongue, waiting for the re-accumulation of saliva in the mouth again to
swallow.
3) "Method 6 qi", also known as "the secret method of qi 6 characters", is the utterance of
sounds during exhalation. In the pronunciation of sounds necessary to achieve accuracy.
Those who are sincerely improved, should be based on the sensations of your body, and
apply intelligence.
The basic principles of achieving excellence in the improvement and hardening
Why saliva? What's the use of swallowing saliva?
In the fifty-second Chapter of the "compendium of medical substances" it is written:
"Under the language of person has four holes, two holes are connected with the qi of the
heart, the two holes are connected with a fluid... Fluid kidneys kidneys, coming under the
tongue, becomes ~wonderful liquid~". Thus, in accordance with theory of traditional
teachings about feeding life, jingye (saliva) is the common name of common liquids in the
human body, for example DOE (saliva in the mouth), gastric juice, intestinal juice and joint
fluid, tears, snot, sweat, urine and other liquids, all fall under the common name Golden.
However, depending on purity and turbidity of the liquid vary, among them pure and liquid
are referred to as "Jin", muddy and thick, referred to as "e", can each other substitute, so
people usually use the common name "Golden".
The ancients believed that the saliva in a person's mouth is like a water of mountain source,
the nature of the water - fall; but spring water can reach the mountain tops, because qi
ground water follows the channels of the soil, seeps into the holes and also vaporizes
upward. Therefore, if the enhancement and quenching practiced a long time in the mouth
naturally formed a kind of sweet fluid, clean and refreshing, appear at a certain time. This is
due to the concentration of heat in the body, move qi of water in the "lower heater", rise
through the channels the Jing-Luo, to his mouth, and turning in the saliva. This saliva is
born from the transformation of qi, is different from the normal saliva swallowing is of a
great benefit. The result can be strengthened improvement and tempering, invalid slightest
breaks, the first time you swallow saliva, you receive a lot of heat converted to qi is raised
up to the mouth. When you convert a second time compared to first time, it feels more
sweet taste, it adds to and increases the strength. Thus the circulation continues, until many
hundreds of times, and then you can apply the radiance of the human spirit, extending life,
increasing longevity. Therefore, the ancient people of this kind the transformation of Cinci
(qi is concentrated in channels) and the distillation liquid of the body are figuratively called
the "Divine drink from the juice of red Jasper", "Magic water" or "Food of the embryo".
The so-called art practice internal pills future generations "jade liquid return pill" and
"feeding the return purity" come from this. The following describes the pronunciation* and
the effect of "6 qi method":

*in parentheses the pronunciation according to the rules of Pinyin

(1) Xu (x): associated with the liver, the liver controls the eyes. For example, tumors,
vertigo and other painful conditions are treated using "Shu".
(2) Kha (h): related to the heart, the heart controls the tongue. For example, a dry mouth,
rough tongue, obstruction of qi or slurred speech, are removed by ha
(3) Si (s): linked with the lungs, the lungs control the nose. Nose inconsistency of heat and
cold reaches the highest degree. It is possible, by combining "raw" adjustment biranjem and
no such (tuna) to treat disease and rashes of the skin.
(4) Chui (chu): associated with the kidneys, the kidneys control the ears. Cold lower back
and stomach, the weakening of the power of Ian* - sound "feel" the qi can be put in order.
*: possible value - of male potency.
(5)Hu (hu): is associated with the spleen, spleen, head of the "Central Palace". For example,
a mild heat disorder, bloating, indigestion or the inability of qi to exit, in such cases, using
the sound "Hu" qi can be put in order.
(6) si (xi): associated with the triple heater, which is the area of accumulation of water.
Various disorders of the triple heater can be treated with the help of sound "si".
Mr. Huang And the reception of the inner primary qi said: "In food five vague (qualities?).
Each of the vague correlated with the dense body. Each dense body is turbid qi. What
comes out of his mouth. Even qi 6 hollow organs and the triple heater. All flock to the gate,
all kinds of sewage are connected. Together constitute the turbid qi. Every time I go to
sleep, a lot of qi comes out of his mouth. Independently it is impossible to comprehend".
Based on this, here we recommend the "method 6 qi", mainly in order to eliminate internal
turbid qi, the main goal is to harmonize cold and heat. All sorts of "rise heart of fire",
mental anxiety, and insomnia, feeling of tightness in the chest, discomfort in the heart
region and other phenomena, everything can be put in order using the method of sound
"ha". If the mouth dryness, bitterness and rough tongue, no saliva or sore throat are the
symptoms limit the heat needed badly to open his mouth during the sound "ha", up to
increase throat of moisture "sweet source", heat will recede. On the other hand, if the mouth
saliva bland and tasteless "ha-Chi*" a lot, in the heart of discouragement and indifference,
in eating and drinking have no pleasure, rejection of water, but only cold. In this case,
warm up with qi sound "Chui".
* - body heat exiting from the mouth during exhalation
In addition, the ancient people paid attention, despite the fact that each of "6 qi" something
adjusts, however, five solid organs and three heater, limit fatigue, cold and heat, disorder a
"harmful wind", all refer to the heart. The heart controls "ha", ha-qi can treat the above
diseases and all 6 qi optional. Details about this approach are in the books.
6. The exquisite art of the immortal dream Completing improvement in accordance with the
above "method of rejection of grain and food qi" for a long time, you can discard the grains
and is not 50 days, then maybe it's the art of perfecting and hardening.
Every day in the fifth ward in the time of the cries of the rooster (hour mark Chow, from 1
to 3 hours a night), head North feet South, the body lying on its back, the head rests on the
pillow, both hands clenched into fists, eyes closed, look inward, to contemplate the idea of
spleen qi like a yellow cloud rises through the heart spread throughout the body and 4 limbs
(Fig. 10). The spell says*: "the Earth** in the center, inside the original qi is stored, the

effect of yellow - strength, using, organize, cinnabar Yang is not to Express with red Yin, is
considered, will bring to the 4 limbs, will rise by a big yellow cloud.
*Perhaps the effect will be stronger if you read the spell in the Chinese language.
** :
Thus practicing enhancement and quenching of 27 days can inner eye to see a yellow cloud
in the spleen, rising and filling the chest, abdomen and four limbs. After that, by force of
mental sight (referring to the power of thought) to get qi invisible yellow clouds cover the
body, no one will be able to see. And you, awakening the wind big yellow clouds, inner
exhale with a hundred steps to extinguish the flame of a candle, in self-defense to repel the
enemy. The main provisions and specific guidance for improving and hardening:
(1) This art need to exercise subject to the implementation of dispensing with the grain, not
eating food for 50 days.
(2) you can't miss a daily workout; if you can not adhere to or a little train for the day,
previous achievements will be useless.
(3) the Spell should be recited 3 times before the mind's contemplation, but we must be
careful and respectful, character for character (read) clearly.
1, the Stages and procedure of the study improve the practice of the immortal in the dream:
(1) First of all, you need to train "the art of foci doing", is the basic method of the "art of
the castle of nasal embryonic breathing".
(2) after the entry in refinement and smelting of the "art of the bow castle of embryonic
breathing, you can abandon the art of" Fuzi doing" and not train, to unite "the practice of
contemplation in a dream" with the improvement and adhere to. But need to pay attention
to: the contents and effect "of the dragon, lying asleep" and "sleeping dragon, curled up in a
ball" are not the same, in full practice, need to be based on personal experience, to use the
flexibility of the mind.
(3) you Need the "sleeping dragon, curled up in a ball" to do the basic method of practice
for a long time. After it will be possible to save the contemplation, you can add an
enhancement, the method of renunciation of desires food qi, strengthening and raising the
level of practice of stay in contemplation.
(4) If three years dokapyvayas to the essence of the improvement and proceed to the
rejection of the grain, this is because the base of "the practice of contemplation in a dream"
is not strong. Because of this, you need to add improving the method of purification of
desires in the rejection of the grain, adhere to for a long time. "Methods of nutrition of the
embryo and rejection of grain" should be based on the results of feelings and actions, by
using additional method of rejection of the grain to succeed.
(5) Improving in the contemplation of a dream (sleeping dragon curled up in a ball), within
50 days of not eating any food, thus the physical strength is huge, the mind is clear,
thinking is alive, we can delve into the art of contemplation of the immortal dream", until
the completion of the internship.
Embryonic breathing and the rejection of grain is in the practice of the immortal in the
dream" the very core and Foundation, besides the guarantee for the realization of refusal of
grain depends on the successful completion of the enhancement and quenching of

embryonic breathing. Lost Foundation is a very difficult to enter the realm of true
contemplation, the wonderful art is also impossible to implement.
2, Provisions for sleep:
Provisions for sleeping are many types, but generally speaking, they do not go beyond the
provisions lying on back, lying on his stomach, on the left and right side. To understand the
influence of sleep posture on the human body, you first need to understand the basic
features of the life processes of the human body.
Feeding life of former times believed, lying on the right side is the best position for sleep.
For example, in "Old sayings" it is written: "If after eating want to sleep, you need on the
right side to release the qi of the spleen". So, sleep on my right side helps with circulation,
makes breathing free, also good for digestion and metabolism in the body on the right side
of the liver comes to its lowest position, well supplied with blood, thereby liver production
of blood, accumulation of blood and also the function of neutralizing the poisons get very
good benefit and stimulation.
But the improvement and hardening of the doctrine of the immortal and the tradition of the
doctrine of feeding life have very big difference. With regard to the supine position, most
people are not used to sleeping in this position. In this position sleep possible lowering of
the neck muscles, opening the mouth, which causes blockage of the airway, causing
snoring. But the improvement in sleep, the supine position is used mainly for breathing
training, you can not only effectively treat sinusitis, inflammation of the nasopharynx,
enlarged tonsils and other diseases, but also to guarantee the freedom of the respiratory
tract, to eradicate these diseases. The use of supine position in the implementation of the
enhancement and quenching, despite the fact that excludes the suppression of five solid and
six hollow organs, the Yang channel on the back of the oppressed. Consequently, in the
process of improving and hardening occurs ripple in the back, feeling as if the body floating
in the void, all relatively good results. In "dragon, lying dormant" is used lying on your left
side just opposite to that required in teaching about the feeding of life. This is done in order
to suppress and inhibit the function of metabolism of human body, prompting
poslenebesnom breathing to slow down, thereby arousing and training the respiratory
function of the prenatal heaven (primordial qi). While lying on your stomach, inhibits dense
and hollow organs, makes breathing difficult, therefore, the doctrine of feeding life and
teachings on improving and hardening is not applied. But among the methods of treatment
of diseases in the practice in the dream, there are also original examples of treatment in the
prone position, can be found in the relevant references. Sleep after eating, and teaching
about the feeding of life, and in the doctrine of improvement and hardening, in any case,
prohibited. Since sleep after eating can lead to increased blood flow in the digestive system,
making blood circulation in brain and extremities, on the contrary, decrease, brain and
limbs are unable to obtain sufficient nutrition, the metabolic products are not removed in a
timely manner that gives rise to a number of diseases. The ancient people said, "sleep helps
digestion", apparently, it has a certain meaning, but ultimately of little use, a lot of harm,
you need to keep that in mind. With regard to the orientation position to sleep the sides of
the world, ancient people used a universal theory of "Zhou Yi*", besides often pay attention
to the influence of heavenly bodies on the human body. Since ancient times in the canonical
books it is possible to detect that the bed is usually required to put regarding the South and
North, lie down on it, you can head North and feet South, and you can also head South, feet
North. As after-hours zi** magnetic field in the space between heaven and earth on the

human body has an impact mainly in the vertical direction, it penetrates the body in a
clockwise direction, for human consciousness has the very useful.
(1) This art need to exercise subject to the implementation of dispensing with the grain, not
eating food for 50 days.
(2) you can't miss a daily workout; if you can not adhere to or a little train for the day,
previous achievements will be useless.
(3) the Spell should be recited 3 times before the mind's contemplation, but we must be
careful and respectful, character for character (read) clearly.

for a long time. After it will be possible to save the contemplation, you can add an
enhancement, the method of renunciation of desires food qi, strengthening and raising the
level of practice of stay in contemplation.
(4) If three years dokapyvayas to the essence of the improvement and proceed to the
rejection of the grain, this is because the base of "the practice of contemplation in a dream"
is not strong. Because of this, you need to add improving the method of purification of
desires in the rejection of the grain, adhere to for a long time. "Methods of nutrition of the
embryo and rejection of grain" should be based on the results of feelings and actions, by
using additional method of rejection of the grain to succeed.
(5) Improving in the contemplation of a dream (sleeping dragon curled up in a ball), within
50 days of not eating any food, thus the physical strength is huge, the mind is clear,
thinking is alive, we can delve into the art of contemplation of the immortal dream", until
the completion of the internship.
Embryonic breathing and the rejection of grain is in the practice of the immortal in the
dream" the very core and Foundation, besides the guarantee for the realization of refusal of
grain depends on the successful completion of the enhancement and quenching of
embryonic breathing. Lost Foundation is a very difficult to enter the realm of true
contemplation, the wonderful art is also impossible to implement.

If you lie down with your head East, feet West, or head West, feet East, in this case, the
magnetic field will penetrate the body horizontally in a counterclockwise direction. For
example, when a magnetic field increases the effect of the practice of contemplation in a
dream" and "methods of rejection of grain by feeding the embryo". Therefore, in the
practice of the immortal in the dream," the issue of orientation position for sleeping to
coordinate with the technique of practice is strictly observed.

3. The prohibitions in the food and drink for the practice of the immortal in the dream:
In traditional medicine of our country, food and drink are divided into five types: sour,
bitter, sweet, spicy, salty, also referred to as the "five tastes". The five types of food and
drink are diseases that are very deeply described. Sour taste penetrates and damages the
tendons, the bitter taste damages the bone, the sweet taste damage muscles, sharp taste
damages the qi, salty taste damages the blood. Therefore, ban Dao immortal attaches great
attention to the choice of food and drink, the sharp taste of the most forbidden.
In General, embryonic breathing and refusal grains are the Foundation of the practice is
immortal in the dream, so eating and drinking there is a lot of bans. Generally speaking, in
the initial period of improvement and school of art, Fuzi doing" we need to strengthen the
food and drink, not limiting too much. But after joining the improvement and hardening of
the "art of the castle of nasal embryonic breathing" must be strictly forbidden to eat raw
vegetables and spicy odorous products. Such 5 kinds of spicy vegetables like onions,
shallots (garlic and onion), coriander (cilantro), onion scented, cedrella Chinese, Ruta
(cress), and so on, (also known as forbidden 5 vegetables*), all reduce, align the entangled
qi of the spleen, helping immortality.
* whn: five spicy vegetables that are not eaten by Buddhist monks (leek, garlic,
sweet onion, Rue, coriander or different varieties of onions and garlic).
In the "true guidance "the Era of harmony and prosperity," says: "do Not eat sour, salty,
fatty foods, intake of food, it damages the 5 solid organs, the spirit is not calm. Dog and
pork, raw fruits, especially escape!", the above food and drink is prohibited, it is the
experience of long practice, the ancient people more fully available in the literature.
4. Why in practice is immortal in the dream, you need to focus on the victory over the
demon of sleep?
In the traditional theory of improving and hardening it is believed that the greatest obstacle
to the improvement of Tao immortal is mainly the "three demons". The so-called "demon
food", "sleep demon" and "demon of lust". And of these three demons are the most difficult
to curb the "demon of sleep". "Compilation - the Decree of purity of nature and fate" States:
"it is Easy to curb the demon of lust and the demon of food, but the demon of sleep is hard
work".

Modern science believes that sleep is the result of human adaptation to natural rhythms for
a long evolutionary period, it is a process of self-regulation of the organism. If the person is
a day or two of sleep or poor sleep, you may be fatigue and weakness, decline of spiritual
forces. If you do not sleep continuously for 60 hours, this may give rise to dizziness,
headache, tinnitus, memory loss, lack of strength in the whole body and other diseases.

fast asleep, a favorable time when Yang turns into Yin, muddy is in decline, a dismal lot,

clear enough, as is like dead. This is what the ancient people said "demon of sleep". At this
time, if will lose a bit of attention, the original seed-Jin will expire down, the original qi
from the mouth and nose will come out, the spirit-Shen will have no support, thus the soulHun dreams** randomly flies three treasures (Jin, qi and Shen) wander on their own, the

sleep, more school practice to replace sleep, in the doctrine of improvement and hardening

asleep for days - died on day; day in and day practicing, not sleeping for a thousand days,
and then complete the deal. Also said, one year is not sleep - tied the bottom of the pill, two
years of not sleeping - pill tied the average, three years of not sleeping, tied top pill*. If in
an empty room entered the light, the radiance of the spirit constantly, though, and sleep
(sleeping) but awake (awake), there's nothing that would interfere with sleep." However, in
practice there are two kinds of demon sleeping. This hustle and chaotic diffusion of the
spirit-Shen, and the lack of purity of spirit and sleepiness**.
*we must assume that we are talking about three levels of Dentyne
** hnchn 1) foggy, drugged; drowsy; vaguely, as in a fog; in poluzabytogo 2) dull,
gloomy, dark 3) to faint, to lose consciousness / Literally can be translated as "immersion in
darkness"
Ancient people thought, vanity, and indiscriminate scattering of spirit-Shen is the random
motion of souls, Hun and Lin, by calming the heart and organizing your thoughts to adjust,
to take control. Drowsiness refers to the action of Chi soul, it is pure Yin, chaotic, and dark,
and disease-related paralysis, and insensibility. If the practice want to fall asleep, it is a
manifestation of sleepiness. In Fact pritenennoe emptiness of the great unity of the Golden
flower Patriarch Lua*" notes: "Drowsiness reverse only the regulation of breathing. The
breath that enters and leaves through the mouth and nose, is not the true breath, however,
the inputs and outputs of the true breath is like him." Therefore, during workout you need a
peaceful heart and a pure Chi, then it is possible to overcome drowsiness.
*the Patriarch l - l Dunbine
So how may calm the heart and clear the qi? In Fact pritenennoe emptiness of the great
unity of the Golden flower Lua Patriarch" said: "(Heart) monitors breathing* the breath
enters and leaves, the heart itself knows; you cannot use ears to hear, audible thin slim pure.
Audible rough, rough dull. Muddy is plunged into darkness and wants to sleep, natural
nature of things", is the emphasis on principle of practice "do not use ears to hear" in the

method of regulation of the breath.

* - lit. "heart nachalstvom on breathing"

Although the heart controls the breath is the secret of overcoming sleepiness during real
practice you need both eyes slightly inwardly to illuminate, and not to use an external
vision, both ears to listen internally, and no external ear, seen has no form, heard has no
sound. This kind of not coming out and not facing inwards, and "average" methods of the
heart and respiration, there is a core method of hibernation," enhancement and quenching,
in the old days called "methods of combining seed-Jin and auroras the sun and the moon".
For centuries, human Dao was the Foundation for the Dao immortal. For human life sleep
is necessary, but in a Taoist family, it cannot be dropped. Of course, immortal, and ordinary
people have differences, and their ways are opposite. People only start to improve
immortality, sleep should not be too much, and should not be too small. With an excess of
the spirit darkens, the mind becomes stupid and gets lazy. With a lack of not enough rest,
the body tired, easily getting sick, and lost the straight path. "Canon of the Yellow
Courtyard" States: "the True man is not concerned with neighbors*". Therefore, at the
initial stage it is necessary to add human, otherwise it is impossible to come from action to
inaction, to reach wonderful boundaries born of wisdom in the great calm.

Various guidelines for improving and hardening
In the Practice of the immortal dream", Fuzi is the Foundation gradually is achieved by the
practice of embryonic breathing, and then the stage practice of improving and hardening the
rejection of grain. In this regard, the strength of the Foundation is the key to a successful
improvement of the practice is immortal in a dream".
Here it is especially necessary to pay attention to nutrition and sleep in connection with the
hardening of qi. Liang Jantszy, in his book, the Qing era "Notes on return to the ground*"
said: Modern people usually find joy in the fact that to eat and hard to sleep, don't you
know that excess food leads to stagnation of qi, excess sleep leads to clouding of the spirit,
feeding life to avoid it. In the phrase from a poem by ancient poet In Qiu old man takes
longevity "restriction consumed per day for food. In "Science" States: the less a food is, the
more open the heart, years** grow; the more food, the more corked heart, years reduced.
Medical book sun Simiao reads: "In the mouth of the little speeches, in the heart a few
cases, in the stomach a little food, - the immortal secret." The Director of the MA*** in the
"Forest of ideas", citing the Taoist treatise, says, that aspires to a long life in my stomach
clean, not wanting to die my stomach is no waste of food. In similar terms the secret of the
attainment of immortality of the ancient people, try to grasp the essence.

In the process of improving and hardening Practice is immortal in the dream" if you can

temper in good faith in accordance with the requirements of training, deviations usually
should not occur. With the gradual increase in the level of and deepening practices,
physiological processes can also occur relatively large changes. On the stages of Fuzi and
pigou (rejection of grain) need to pay attention to some points which are explained below:
Stage, fuzy:
(1) In the beginning of your workout, foci in the bedroom should not be too cold or too hot;
food and drink should be warm, not to eat cold food.
(2) During a workout, be sure to dissolve clothing, and to loosen the belt, remove wrist
watches, rings and other things; if the body is constrained, CIHI* oppressed, to the
detriment of the "qi mechanism".
* q hi kit. med. region "middle and lower Dan"; the name of the active point
(3) At the beginning of training, due to the fact that the internal qi is still not tight, to avoid
too heavy physical work, too hard work can Deplete qi. After training every time you need
to walk out of the room, which contributes to the lowering of qi and blood.
(4) during training, Fuzi if filled with Dentyne is suppressed, it is possible to move the qi of
the four limbs with doing, in any case not to breathe from his mouth and nose.
(5)during training, Fuzi, if the urine is yellow or red, in any case, no need to panic, after a
long course of practice all by itself is normalized.
Stage pigou:
(1) At the beginning of the cessation of food grains the state of mind should be confident
and calm, only in this case, the internal qi can circulate. If the heart is restrained, or too
hurriedly, or in the heart has doubts, or the fear of failure, can all lead to blockage of the
internal qi. Only the enthusiasm and dedication will help to bring the practice to end.
(2) In the initial period of refusal of cereals and food qi, due to the fact that the inner Chi
and physical energy little, the soul no peace, often there is the thoughts and desires to eat.
At this time, be sure to hold back patiently, taking food, possible dirt accumulation in the
abdomen, indulging myself, it's hard to follow the path.
(3) If did not eat grains 20 days, the qi of the cereals in the belly ends, every day you can
cook the mustard and cabbage (saperda mustard and Chinese cabbage), taste for seasoning
sesame oil, soy sauce or vinegar, and eaten every time a pair of cups, four or five days later,
apart from vegetables you can drink the juice, it will add strength, improve the function of
excretion of wastes in the intestines. After three days, you can stop drinking vegetable
juice, to enter a state of true abandonment from cereals.
In addition, the "Intimate notes about nutrition qi immortal from the Golden chest there is a
passage: "the Stomach is hungry or urine is red or yellow - take nine pieces of dates,
remembering about the food, eat one or two, up to three pieces. One day and night not more
than nine dates. Thoughts not to think about food, eating is also prohibited. To qi, often
holding in the mouth a bone, causing it to stand out saliva in the mouth."
Chinese date is by nature sweet, slightly warm, a person meets the Meridian of the spleen.
Strengthens the spleen and stomach, restores the balance between the arterial and venous
blood, augments the qi and nourishes the heart, strengthens the will, revitalizes the spleen
and helps the secretion of fluids in the body, opens the first nine holes of the body,

eliminates depression, to heal the diseases of the viscera. The prolonged use boosts wellbeing, all year round saves from famine, also known as "a pill". I used to brew tea with
Chinese dates, drink all year round, in reference books available full of information.
Despite the fact that embryonic breathing is the Foundation of rejection of the grain, the
rejection of the grain must be closely connected with the absorption of the original qi and
swallow saliva, only then will success. If you are going to refuse food and drink, you need
to act based on their capabilities, there should be fast or slow, and don't limit yourself far or
close deadlines. Due to the fact that the original of qi returning to dantian in the abdomen
should be carried out through diaphragm 3, first of all you need to achieve the feeling of
fullness in the stomach. At this time food and drink cannot be taken abundantly, there is
little as possible. Then you can feel the original distribution of qi through the five solid
organs, and then returning to dantian in the belly. When the original qi returns to dantian in
the belly, you can experience the movement of qi throughout the body, throughout the body
a pleasant sensation.
According to the above-mentioned "Yellow page Tao Shu", to abandon the beans need 90
days and then you can succeed, moreover, the original qi will be able to accumulate in
order to the three dantian, also in the physiological functions of the body will appear
obvious change. Below specially written for review.
"Thirty days is filled with the lower dantian, qi, spirit, Shen is full and does not expire,
there is also no hunger. Sixty days is filled with the middle dantian, the body has no
weakness and fatigue, gait sturdy. Ninety days is filled with the upper dantian, condensed
inner and outer bow. As a result, three of the heater in order that the spirit assembled, the
body clean, do not decline, heart a shelter in the beautiful borders, through the teaching of
the immortal fetus. Someone eats, and someone stops in pandering to human emotions
wander, loving the tastes and smells - qi grain hard cast out, seeking immortality here great
harm."
According to the records of his predecessors in the knights ' gate, after the abandonment of
grain all day do not eat qi, but qi itself in abundance. Although talking all day, deal with
different cases, qi and strength are not out, a hundred obstacles are not harmful. You need to
eat eat, need to rest - rest; back to the food restoring qi, now in thoughts. Besides the health
and mental state charm, hands and feet every day stronger. Internally behold with your eyes
closed, five solid and six hollow organs is clearly distinguishable. The spirit is pure, serene
appearance, the internal organs healthy; to conduct conversation and demeanor stand out
from the crowd, "the immortal manners and appearance of a Taoist", a free and detached
from the bustle of the world. Can still look into the essence, to understand the good and bad
in people, arises super-sensuous intuition.
Interested in other practical comments to the abandonment of grain was asked to look at the
method of the immortal divine light" section of "the Secret teachings of the Immortals".
