Just bought an excellent book by JAJ recently – Daoist Alchemy: Nei Gong & Wai Gong Training http://www.daoistmagic.com/catalog.php?act=view_prod_info&id_prod=35915&i=&l=&sid=8cfca72b19696ea42e6f5055403b88ca
In chapter fusion of eight trigrams, seems the same practice as fusion of five elements in HT, but with some differences.
There are two pakuas only:
Front pakua – postnatal.
Front collection points (CP), if I understood it right, some are right on the trigrams. Kidneys have CP on the heaven & mountain trigrams, penis & testicles (huiyin) water trigram, heart on the fire trigram, (in the center are connected heart/fire & huiyin/water), lungs on the lake & thunder trigrams, liver on the wind trigram (in the center are connected wind-thunder&lake) and the spleen on the earth trigram. (earth in the center)
Back pakua – prenatal.
Trigrams are connected with CP as follow: earth trigram – coccyx and heaven trigram – Yellow court ( midline of the spine) (earth & heaven in to the center), spleen – lake trigram and liver – wind trigram (lake trigram & wind trigram in to the center), water & fire trigrams in to the center, thunder & mountain in to the center.
Connect prenatal and postnatal pakuas energies in to the lover dantien.
That is it… 😉
Your comments are welcome… 🙂
Peace, Jox
June 23, 2013 at 4:23 pm #40888StevenModeratorInteresting.
Thanks for sharing.To my understanding, the assignment of the five elements to the 8 trigrams
was a recent addition in Chinese medicine . . . so it makes me wonder how
much of this practice is historical vs. how much is modification/creation
of Jerry Alan Johnson. 😉The last bit is just my own speculation . . .
In any case, it looks like an interesting practice.
Qi,
StevenP.S. $200 seems like a lot for a book! Holy cow!
