The first Meridian of our system to be developed for chi practice is the Dan Tien of the abdomen. This is the centre and store of our energy. (Horian Way, Nephthys bowl represents the development of this containment.)
Dan – means something condensed or concentrated and Tien – means rice (paddy) field.
The centre of our body is our abdomen. Here also is the largest concentration of the water in our body and also where most of our food energy is stored. The hip, our centre of balance is where most of our movements originate and here our spine lifts and supports the rest of our body.
The energy we are born with given to us by our parents is referred to as pre-natal chi, After birth we begin to consume this and only partly replace it as we go along with what is known as post-natal chi which we get from food and air. Although Chi is a natural occurrence in every body’s existence the art of its development is a process of harmonizing with nature through breath, movement and correct visualisation.
