What is Qi Gong? Taoist Master explains power of Qi and philosophy
George Thompson·English·8 min
1. The Spiritual Network (靈脈系統)
In Liuren Fajiao, the internal channels of the body are viewed as a Spiritual Network that connects the disciple to the Altar. This is not merely about biological energy (Qi in the TCM sense) — it is about Spiritual Resonance: the practitioner's internal meridian system becomes, through Dajiao cultivation, a physical antenna for the Altar's transmissions.
2. The Five Spiritual Circulation Pathways (五條靈脈通道)
Pathway
Chinese
Route
Ritual Function
Sensation When Active
The Arm Channel
臂脈法流
Lower Dantian → Heart Center → Shoulder → Arm → Laogong point → Sword-Finger tip
The primary projection pathway for Fa Li
Warmth building in the lower abdomen, rising through chest to shoulder; heat and tingling in the palm
The Grounding Path
入地歸根
Lower Dantian → legs → Yongquan point (center of foot sole) → Earth
The primary discharge pathway — channeling excess or residual hostile Sha absorbed during casework
Heaviness in the legs during grounding; a "draining" sensation at the soles of the feet
The Shielding Field
鐵板護體圈
Lower Dantian → radiating outward through the body's Wei Qi layer at the skin surface
Maintaining the Iron Plate (鐵板) resonance
A general feeling of "solidity" or physical density at the skin surface
The Crown Channel
天頂接引脈
Baihui point (crown of head) → downward through the central channel to the Upper, Middle, Lower Dantian
The reception pathway — route through which the Ancestral Masters' transmissions descend
Tingling or gentle pressure at the crown during successful altar connection
The Vocal Channel
聲法震鳴脈
Lower Dantian → upward through the central channel → throat → voice
The incantation pathway — carrying Fa Li through the practitioner's voice
Vibration felt throughout the body when reciting incantations correctly
3. Feeling the Pulse: Stage Development (感應靈脈的階段)
Cultivation Stage
Primary Sensation
Metaphysical Meaning
Early Dajiao (1–2 years)
Warmth in Palms
Fa Li is manifesting in the Laogong point (勞宮穴)
Developing Dajiao (2–4 years)
Coolness in the Heart
Snow Mountain (雪山) energy is actively present in the Middle Dantian
Established Dajiao (4+ years)
Tingling along the Spine
The Crown Channel is open and the "Lineage Connection" is established
Advanced (Dajiao Completion)
Full-body resonance during incantation
All five circulation pathways are operating simultaneously
