Di Yuan

Di Yuan is the second method in the Yuan Gong system of Qigong.

After practicing Tian Yuan (the first method of Yuan Gong) to gather Qi from the universe into your body, we then use Di Yuan (earthly Qigong) to store the Qi in your body, so it can be used to replenish lost energy reserves and be used for healing. 

Di Yuan is a predominantly still / standing practice, with a small amount of arm movements, which also allows one to develop one's focus and concentration. 

During the practice one focuses on each of the 3 Tan Tiens (energy storage locations in the trunk of the body), which each have a different purpose:

• the Lower Dantian (in the lower abdomen) supports the physical body
• the Middle Dantian (in the mid torso) supports the internal organs
• and the Upper Dantian (in the head) supports the consciousness

Practising Di Yuan supports and strengthens all three aspects.
