sun and moon alchemy form a taoist monk

over the last weekend i had the pleasure of attending a wedding here in china. someone from michael winn’s 2002 trip who moved here afterwards about the same time i did, married a sichuan girl who, incidently, was our interpreter during the trip. between him meeting her and me meeting my girlfriend, it’s easy to see why i like michaels china trips and HT. it certainly brought about very good turns of events in our lives.

anyway, to the practice:

my friends took enough care in the table artrangements to put me next to chen yuming, who is president (or something like that, doesn’t exactly translate) of the huashan daoist association. he hooked us up with the monastery stay and cave meditations. he really is a gifted and highly evolved daoist practicioner. a monk on huashan.

i noticed he wasn’t eating anything at the wedding, only drinking orange juice or red wine. so i asked him if he had achieved bigu, and he said yes. then i asked him if he’d achieved immortality yet, and he said he thinks so. he’s still a pretty young guy.

we talked about nei gong for a while and then i probed him for some secrets to sun and moon alchemy or greater kan and li. he was very forthcoming. he told me there are several methods and would give me one of them.

for the first few months, imagine there is a sun at the top of your head at the bai hui. do this practice during the day. at night imagine there is a moon there. after you’ve done this for a few months, see the sun in the bai hui and the moon at the perineum or hui ni. as this develops, see them both in the cauldron (he didnt specify which one but his hand movements indicated soalr plexus or dan tian) and coming together. i don’t thjink it matters which cauldron the practice calls for as meditating with these celestial bodies for several months will develop enough communication for them to tell you themselves where they want to be.

do this and the forces of sun and moon will combine in you and produce energy. that’s it.

the problem i’m facing is that the moon is already residing in my perineum, so i’m wondering whether just to proceed from that point or go back to the beginning just for the helluvit. the intent may have fired already to initiate the process to completion. i’ve also been working with the sun and moon a helluva lot already in the core channels to build the relationship while i was waiting to learn the next practice. so maybe sun and moon are happy with that and jump starting the process.

didn’t know whether to post this in articles, personal practice, or taoist discussion, so i reckioned its more accessible and discussable here. just thought i’d share.
