Figure 8.14: Macrocosm and Microcosm of Yin Qi and Dan Tian

Remaining here, with this connection, and refining the principles of our practice will help the lower field of the abdomen to begin to consolidate. As discussed above, this can result in the Jing being affected (the feelings of heat) and a certain degree of erratic movement from the abdominal Qi field. This will result in a period of twitches and jerking movements coming from inside of the abdomen; don’t worry about it, let them do their thing, and then it will begin to subside after a while. These twitches are starting to take place because the ‘magnetic’ qualities of the Yin Qi are pulling upon the Huang of the lower abdomen. Where there are adhesions or blockages in the Huang that need releasing, the Qi will tug them and the result is that your body twitches a little. It is an interesting phenomenon but nothing to concern yourself about. It will pass, and when it does, you are ready to move onto the rotations.

When you begin the ‘rotating the Dan Tian’ exercise, you are actually using your awareness to establish a little movement of the Qi within your abdominal region. It is not the Dan Tian per se that you are moving but actually just the Qi beneath your diaphragm region. This disturbance of the Qi can happen because your mind has a direct influence upon the quality of your body’s Qi. You can think of it like stirring the Qi in your abdominal region. This helps to bring more change to the Qi there.

Because of the focal point of your centre of gravity to the lower Dan Tian, as well as the sinking of the Dan Tian into the field of the planet’s Qi, there is a central point that this stirred Qi will move towards. This will begin the rotational consolidation of the lower Dan Tian. This is depicted in Figure 8.15.
