Literati Tradition: Neidan Meditation

[Doc Stier]

Without question, the transformative physical and energetic aspects of Traditional Taoist Neidan practice can and have been applied to internal gung-fu training in general, including practices intended to develop the 'Iron Shirt Kung-Fu', the 'Golden Bell Cover Kung-Fu', or other related skills, but such agenda priorities were never the original goals of Neidan training and meditation, which has always focused primarily on spiritual attainment instead. The physical health and longevity benefits, and the energetic benefits of Traditional Neidan training have generally been viewed as totally awesome 'perks' or auxilliary benefits experienced as a part of the overall process of inner transformation leading to the experience of its intended spiritual goals.
