3. Taiji Pole energy field
It is cylindrical in shape and runs the
length of the head and trunk of the
body. It is this energy field that allows
the physical incarnation of the
consciousness to take place.
It is described as a
“pulsating field of white light
4. The light from theTaiji
resonates in the
Upper and Lower
Dantians and flows
from the Governing
Vessel as a Sea of
(+) energy and from
the Conception
Vessel as a Sea of
(-) energy exiting
from the Middle
Dantien.

9. Taiji Pole flows from
Sun to Earth
The positive pole
energies are resonant
with the electromagnetic
energies of the Sun and
Solar System.
The negative pole
energies are resonant
with gravity and magnetic
energies of the Earth.
10. Taiji Pole posture is Wuji
☯Wuji in Chinese martial
arts refers to an erect
posture of equilibrium,
which may be described
as the most balanced
and relaxed posture that
can exist midway
between the states of
Yin and Yang
11. Taiji Pole posture is Wuji
☯To fully understand the kinesthetic
experience of the Wuji posture, one must
have an understanding of the triple
warmers since they play a critical role in
the stability of spinal posture.
☯In Qigong theory, the Triple Warmer
energy centers are documented as true
physical energy depots, and the Upper,
Middle, and Lower Dan Tians are
distinguished as discrete bioelectric
12. Taiji Pole connects Lower Dantian
The Lower Dan Tian is rooted
inferiorly through the perineum
CV 1 (Huiyin).
The root chakra CV 1 (Huiyin)
describes the meeting point of
the four Yin vessels supporting
and rooting the body: Yin
Linking, Yin Heel, Penetrating
(Chong Mai), and Conception
Vessels.
13. Taiji Pole connects middle Dantian
The upper half of the body, although
physically functioning as a single entity,
in Qigong theory, is composed of two
interrelated energy centers, the Upper
and Middle Dantians.
The Middle Dantian, physically existing
at the diaphragm level, is influenced
significantly by the heart, which
provides the emotional spirit (Xin).
The Upper Dantian, comprises the
home of the Spirit (Shen) and provides
the wisdom (Yi) to stabilize the
emotional spirit (Xin) of the heart.
14. Taiji Pole connects 14 energy Gates
Of the 14 Qi Gates, there
are 8 main portals of Qi
entry and exit represented
in ancient texts by the 8
trigrams. Of these 8 gates
4 are major: GV 20
(Baihui), CV 1 (Huiyin), CV
7 (Yinjiao), and GV 4
(Mingmen);
4 are deemed minor: CV
22 (Tiantu), CV 15 (Jinwei),
GV 24.5 (Yin Tang), and
GV 10 (Lingtai).
15. Taiji Pole connects 14 energy Gates
Of these 7 paired gates, 2 axis
pairs are considered the most
important: CV 1-GV 20 (Huiyin-
Baihui), and CV 7-GV 4 (Yinjiao-
Mingmen).
The CV 1-GV 20 (Huiyin-Baihui)
path is connected through the
Thrusting Vessel (Chong Mai).
This encompasses the major
pathway of movement of Qi
between the Upper and Lower
Dan Tians through the Taiji
Pole.
16. Taiji Pole pearls of Posture
☯ 1. Grip 10 toes to the
ground in order to connect
Kidney 1 to earth.
☯ 2. Distribute weight evenly
on the balls and heels of feet
☯ 3. Roll pelvis forward
☯ 4.Point Tailbone down
☯ 5. Stretch lowest ribs

elongate neck
☯ 8. Let arms and
hands fall naturally at
sides
☯ 9. Touch tongue to
roof of mouth
☯ 10. Quiet the mind,
breathe smoothly and
naturally through the
nose.
17. Balanced posture in Qigong is
best described as a dance
☯To be truly balanced in the Wuji state,
there can be no tension or strain in the
posture. The joints themselves must feel
in the position of neutrality without
tension in the ligaments or muscles
controlling them.
☯Any tension will result in the restriction of
the flow of Qi and impede the stability of
the stance.
18. WUJI IN QIGONG
MEDITATION
☯Wuji in Qigong meditation describes a
learned meditation state and a transition
point in the education of the Qigong
student.
☯Having achieved this meditative state, the
Qigong practitioner has attained the
ability to keep thoughts pure and
harmonious without emotional
disturbance.
19. WUJI IN QIGONG
MEDITATION
☯Using standing meditation and the
movement of Qi, the student can facilitate
the simultaneous downward migration of
the Shen (Spirit) from G.V. 20 (Bahui)
residing in the Great Spiritual Valley
(Shen Gu) of the Upper Dan Tian,
☯And move the Qi upward from where it
resides in the Lower Dantian.
20. WUJI IN QIGONG
MEDITATION
☯Both will meet at the furnace of the
Huang Ting, an intermediate point
representing the ultimate polarity position
of Yin and Yang.
☯It is here that the Embryonic Spiritual
Being (Shen Tai) will be conceived by
advanced Qigong practitioners on the
path of advancement to Enlightenment
and the gift of absolute awareness with
the opening of The Third Eye (Yintang).
21. WUJI as Great
Nothingness
☯Wuji describes a midpoint between the
polarities of Yin and Yang.
☯Wuji can be discussed both in terms of
the physical as well as the mental state,
and the philosophical duality of Yin/Yang
describes that theoretical point of
balance, comprising an almost indivisible
point where the differentiation between
Yin and Yang becomes infinitesimal.
22. Energy Gates are chakras
The 3 Dantians are connected to the
12 major energy Gates or 7 Chakras
23. The word "Chakra" is Sanskrit
for "Wheel of Light".
The Crown Chakra is a single Gate found
above the top of the head and is
responsible for absorbing Heavenly Qi
and light into the body as well as
energizing the Taiji core.
The Basal Chakra is a single Gate found
in the perineum and is responsible for
absorbing Earthly Qi as well as
energizing the taiji core.
24. 5 Dual Gates
The front Gates are connected to the
Conception Vessel and are said to be
responsible for the feelings and
emotional activity of humans.
The back Gates are connected to the
Governing Vessel and are said to be
responsible for the thought, will and
determination of humans.
25. Taiji Pole
Taiji Pole connect Hui Yin (perineum) to
Bai Hui (crown of skull). This opening
ensures smooth flow of Qi through
Spinal cord and Cerebro-spinal fluid.
26. Taiji Pole includes
Governing Vessel Meridian – Back
Conception Vessel Meridian – Front
Coresponds to Central Nervous system
27. Basis of 4 Humors

Sacral Chakra is associated with Adrenal Glands
Solar Chakra associated with Islets of Langerhans.
Heart Chakra associated with Thymus/Lymph Nodes
Throat Chakra associated with Thyroid and
Parathyroid Glands
Brow Chakra associated with Hypothalamus/Pituitary
Gland
Crown Chakra associated with Pineal Gland.
28. Three Treasures
The Taoist School of Internal Alchemy
teaches that there are three types of
energy known as the three treasures
Generative Energy
Vital Energy
Spirit Energy.
29. Lower Dantien
Generative Energy or Ching also
spelled Jing is stored in the lower
"burning space" known as a tan-t'ien
(elixir field) and when the individual is
actively cultivating this area or
transforming sexual desires to become
empty, it is referred to as "lead flower
emerging". This area relates to the
sacral or second chakra center.
30. Lower Tantien
This area relates to the sacral or second
chakra center. Represented by 6 petaled
Lotus
31. Middle Tantien
Vital Energy or Ch'i also spelled qi is
stored in the middle "burning space" or
tan-t'ien and when the individual is
actively cultivating this area or taming
the emotions, it is referred to as "silver
flower emerging".
32. Middle Dantien
This area relates to the solar plexus or
third chakra center, the heart or fourth
chakra center and the throat or fifth
chakra center.
33. Upper Tantien
Spirit Energy or Shen is stored in the
upper "burning space" or tan-t'ien and
when the individual is actively
cultivating this area or taming thoughts
and becoming still, it is referred to as
"golden flower emerging".

37. Qi Gong is spiritual
According to the Taoist School of
Internal Alchemy, two of these three
treasures, Ch'i and Shen, travel by way
of the meridians while Ching moves
through the bones.
The practice of Qi Gong is used to
develop vital energy or Ch'i because
Daoists understand that physical
exercise is the root of spiritual practice.
38. Shen Gong is Taiji Pole
Spirit Energy or Shen moves through
channels known as the "Eight Extra
Meridians". Three of these "Eight Extra
Meridians" include:
Governing Vessel runs along the spine
Conception Vessel, runs down the front
mid line of the body
Penetrating Vessel (Chong mai), runs
through the center of the body from the
perineum to the crown.
40. the "Microcosmic Orbit”
The circle can go either direction;
usually the energy goes up the back
and down the front, because the Yang
channel has more of a feel for rising
than the Yin one.
You allow the energy to rise up the
Yang channel, cross the top of the
head, go down and empty into the tip of
the tongue in the cavity of the mouth,
and go down the front.
41. Microcosmic Orbit
This is called in Chinese "Xiao Jou
Tien" which translates as Little
Circulation Heaven.
The translation implies that you are a
little heaven inside the great heaven. In
your practice, as you use the magnetic
force of yin and yang, you become a
little version of the heavenly circulation
that is happening all around us
cosmically.
42. Energy bouncing
The basic standing position allows both
the arms and the legs to act like pumps
in various exercises.
That is why it is important to have a
good standing position as you jump
rope in slow motion.
43. Qigong Steps
It is said that as the master walks down
the street, when his left foot goes
forward, Qi goes up; as his right foot
goes forward, Qi goes down. On one
step, the energy rises; on the other, the
energy comes down. This focus of
energy in the body is called "Chin Tan"
or "Golden Ball".
44. Meditation
Standing Meditation is a posture that
sinks the Qi, creating a hollow under the
balls of the feet and the armpits. This
posture allows you to absorb Qi from
the environment.
46. Microcosmic Orbit
Pulls the energy up the Taiji Pole and
cycles it through the chakras and chong
mai meridian.
Qi Gong is the method to balance the
3 Treasures and harmonize them.
