Tan Tien Qigong

Tan Tien Qigong is one of the most original Taoist Qigong practices to develop the power of the Tan Tien and the perineum.  
The Tan Tien (Dantian) is the most important energy store in the body. This is where we store the energy that we have generated and accumulated during qigong and meditation. If the energy is stored in the Tan Tien, it can be accessed later, otherwise the Qi is dispersed and cannot be used. The Tan Tien is called the “Ocean of Qi”, but is also known as the “Medicine Field” or “Elixir Field”, as it contains the healing power of the original Qi or pre-natal energy. 
 
With Tan Tien Qigong, Grand Master Mantak Chia has developed a form for building up Qi and Qi pressure in Tan Tien. With this practice we learn to cultivate and condense the Qi in this area and thereby increase the pressure. We need these qualities to develop inner strength, rooting power and centering of body and mind as the basis for most Universal Tao practices, especially Iron Shirt, Tai Chi and meditation. In daily life, it makes us more aligned, stable and balanced.
