Bringing the Three Parts Together and Concentrating on Zuqiao

Bringing the Three Parts Together
The meeting of the three parts means an advanced state of balance and
harmony to be achieved in qigong practice.
The three parts refer to body, mind and consciousness. Jing, qi and shen are known as the three elements. Bringing the three parts together indicates the maturation of the elixir; the integration of the three elements signifies the completion of the elixir, and their meeting can be achieved through a state of blankness and jing (stillness). The method is: Make the mind blank so that it will combine with shen ; keep the body still so that ring and emotion will be at rest. Only in that way can the three ele-ments become qi with the consciougness totally untroubled.
When the body is still, jing will change into qi ; when the mind is calm, qi will transform into shen ; and when consciousness is at rest, shen will return to the prenatal state of void.


Concentrating on Zuqiao
Zuqiao (a region between the heart and the navel) is also called xuanmu. According to Dao De Jing, "the gate of xuanmu is the root of heaven and earth. " Zhang Ziyang said, "The cultivation of the golden elixir depends entirely on xuanrnu."
Concentrating on zuqiao means remaining in a state of wuji and nourishing the original qi. Dao De Jing also states: "Too many words lead to exhaustion. It is better to concentrate attention on practice. " Reg-ulate mental activity in zuqiao, without too much concentration or neglect. Maintain the body like a plant supports itself with the fir, m roots.
Deep in concentration, the mind remains aware but does not exert it-self. When the mind is still, enlightenment will come naturally; when the mind and body have forgotten each other, shen will assemble with the as-sistance of qi, and the force of life will combine itself with shen. With that the whole body will enter a state of harmony with little conscious ef-fort.
