Qigong Meditation to Clear and Activate the Eight Psychic Channels (also known as the Extraordinary Vessels in Traditional Chinese Medicine) is a Neidan practice inspired by the Daoist alchemy text, The Secrets of Cultivating Essential Nature and Eternal Life. In this text translated by Charles Luk, the Daoist Master gives specific instructions on how to guide the qi using the mind through the Source Channels to promote longevity and health.

The Extraordinary Vessels are the original blueprint of your energy body—guiding Qi flow, storing ancestral energy, and supporting deep healing and transformation.

This energy moving meditation requires concentration and body-based awareness. With practice you will enhance energy flow, release blockages, and harmonize your Qi with the greater flow of the universe.

To fully awaken these channels, we’ll use a two-step process:

First, we’ll begin with a dynamic warm-up to activate the fascia, open the channels, and prepare the body to receive Qi. Then, we’ll trace the meridians with our fingertips so you feel the energy signature. Then we will trace the channels only with using the power of the mind to guide energy through these pathways with awareness and intention.

This video if offered in complete form that includes internal alchemy warm ups, a short form and seated form.
