The purpose of Xia Yuan is to strengthen the functions of the organs, prevent organ illness and continually improve organ health.
Read about the role of organs and emotions in Qigong.
Xia Yuan is the first in the Second Internal Transformation Stage – this stage effects internal change on a deep level. This method is the bridge between the first three methods and the fifth. It helps advance your Qigong level built by the practice of the first three methods and further deepens their effects. It also builds the foundation for subsequent methods.
While it has complex elements of sounds, mind activity, visualization and hand forms, it is a simple method that is relatively easy to learn and practice, and is designed to be efficient so the practice is relatively short.
About the practice of
Xia Yuan
Trust is the beginning of meeting our heart face-to-face. It is the bridge that allows us to communicate with and know our own heart. Without trust, we are filled with doubt, anxiety, and fear.
Listen to a sample of Trust (first stage):
The natural state of the heart is to be open. It is not meant to be locked away. An open heart is the doorway to life; the entry to an inexhaustible source of vitality. When the heart is open, life is like a vast ocean without any restrictions.
Listen to a sample of Openness (first stage):
Love plays a special role in our life. It is present in every cell of our bodies and it influences every aspect of life. Without love, the opposite qualities manifest, creating dis-ease, fear, indifference, or even hate. Like every heart quality, love’s presence is wholly dependent on the presence of the other four heart qualities.
Listen to a sample of Love (first stage):
Gratitude is the manifestation of goodness, beauty, and wisdom. When we feel gratitude we nourish our heart; it becomes softer, purer, more open and loving. We feel more joy and happiness.
When gratitude is missing, we feel a sense of lack no matter how much we have.
Listen to a sample of Gratitude (first stage):
Gongjing is a composite quality. It includes all the heart qualities as well as understanding, accommodation, empathy, appreciation, and compassion. Loosely translated, Gongjing means true respect. What is true respect? When we have true respect, we see everyone and everything as equally important, equally valuable.
