Direction of qi flow during/after external elixir qigong.

Nei Dan (Internal Elixir) 內丹

Nei (內) means “internal” and dan (丹) again means “elixir.” Thus, nei dan means to build the elixir internally. Here, internally means inside the body instead of in the limbs. Normally, the qi is accumulated in the qi vessels instead of the primary qi channels. Whereas in wai dan the qi is built up in the limbs or skin surface and then moved into the body through primary qi channels, nei dan exercises build up qi in the body and lead it out to the limbs. Normally, nei dan qigong is accomplished by special breathing techniques during the meditation process. The first step of nei dan practice is to build up abundant qi in the lower dan tian (i.e., human bioelectric battery). This abundant qi can then be distributed to the eight vessels to increase the store of qi. Only then can the qi circulating in the twelve primary qi channels be regulated smoothly and efficiently.
