Wu Ji Meditation

Develop Health, Longevity and Immortality

Sit in a chair with your feet shoulder width apart, spine straight (back not resting against the chair), both hands on the knees. palm side up, with your thumbs folded into your fists and fingers closed around the thumb. Gently touch the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth and close your mouth. Drop your eyelids, leaving a slit of light, and gaze at the tip of the nose; subconsciously the eye looks at the Dan Tien, seeing and not seeing, looking out seeing no object, look inside seeing no self. See only emptiness within emptiness, the void. See and not see. If you become aware of the void you are back to square one; if you identify the void, you have accomplished nothing.

Man United with Heaven

Find Stillness and Joy, to Balance
Body and Spirit

Becoming an Immortal is the highest stage and the ultimate achievement of a Taoist priest. Wu Ji came from the Tao.

If you are able to meditate, to leave your stressful life, return to original simplicity and reconnect with the root of the Tao; If you can find stillness and joy, then you have a chance to balance your body and your spirit. If you're free of illness and are natural like an infant you can let your body and spirit unite with the cosmos as one and achieve the stage of the void. In this stage motion comes out of the stillness. Yang Qi is born and creates preheaven qi, opening up your intuitive energy, the micro cosmic orbit smooths and forms the sprout of the elixir which eventually leads to the formation of the seed of Immortality. This is what internal alchemy describes as transmuting Jing to Qi, transmuting Qi to Shen, returning Shen to the void and uniting the void with the Tao.

Mysticism

I-Ching, Taoist Cosmology, Feng Shui, Psychic Ability,
Drawing Talismans: Taoist Priests Practice Mystical Arts

Wudang Taoist practice encourages the practitioner to return to nature and to unite with the cosmos as one, to do nothing and be in the stillness, to nurture and practice virtue, to cultivate essential nature and eternal life together and thereby increase wisdom and spiritual power.

Practitioners, through diligent internal alchemy practice, strengthen their internal energy and intuitive power, enabling them to align energetically with the cosmos. As their internal energy grows, their senses will refine and they will have sixth, seventh or eightth senses activate, communicating with all energy within heaven and earth.

From ancient times, alchemy practice has resulted in many Immortals and sages. They studied and practiced I Ching, Taoist Cosmology, and feng shui. They developed psychic abilities. They conducted and drew talismans. They exist across time, knowing past, present and future simultaneously. This is sometimes hard to believe but to the Chinese people, with 3000 years of Taoist cultural influence, and with more recent Buddhist influence; mysticism is widely accepted.

Mystics are a part of every religion in the world. As light is shined on these practices, they will be accepted by more and more people around the world.
