Historically, the masters of Xuanmen Neijia Tai Yi Training Set considered its study and practice as restricted knowledge, to be imparted only to those students brought by providence to the master's door, hence there have been relatively few practitioners through the ages.
The traditional principle of the combination of "heaven," "earth" and "man" is the foundation stone upon which Xuanmen Jiuhuan Gong (or Yin Yang Nine Circle ) and Xuanmen Neijia Gong jstand. The cosmos is the macrocosm while man who lives in it is the microcosm; in the interaction between the two, man is able to collect the positive energy of the yin and the yang for the nourishment of his own health in order to achieve the goal of healthful living. The natural internal energy in the human body is a "medicinal" ingredient which, through repetitive "distillation" in the crucible which is the body, becomes the essential inner energy force.
Xuanmen Jiuhuan Gong is the way by which a person nurtures the vital energy and finds remedies for disease. It was regarded as a secret source of knowledge not to be popularized. However, in order that Chinese qigong wuxue can flourish and to meet the needs of the vast numbers of enthusiasts for the cultivation of the vital energy, I have broken with tradition in this demonstration, so as to proclaim the truth and enlighten the initiated.
An introduction to Taiyi Xuanmen Jiuhuan Gong demonstrates the essential steps in the first stage of nurturing the positive energy - that is, the recovery of health for those who suffer from illnesses and strengthening those who are healthy. It starts from the fundamental exercises for building up the vital energy and brings the learner to the higher levels of the cultivation of the positive energy.
Taiji Jiuhuan a secret close, danfa's code is nine times nine; Heaven and earth inside me live, within yin yang is the key; Nature needs not outside force, reveals itself to one who seeks; To grasp the truth of healthful life, enter herein taiji world.
