Foundation for Alchemical Work: The Essence of Daoist Alchemy [Online program]

Date: February 8, 2025 — February 23, 2025

Master:  Jie Kong (Oleg Tcherne)

Language: Russian (with simultaneous translation into English provided by Anna Leona)

Program Overview

The "Foundations for Alchemical Work" program introduces essential practices that form a functional understanding of alchemy. In turn, it requires cultivating specific efforts that go beyond the body’s usual functioning.

In Daoist alchemy, creating a foundation is critical for developing internal energy cycles. Unlike internal rhythms, these cycles are shaped by lifestyle and are defined by their ability to restore energy.

This knowledge is linked to the Kun trigram (坤, ☷), representing the body's receptivity and internal axis. The "Kun Palm" concept embodies this quality. Energy restoration is a complex mechanism that relies on certain physical structures, such as the womb in women or the lower abdomen in men, along with energy wells and reservoirs in the body. For this to work, the body’s geometry, proportions, and axis must be properly aligned.

Only by normalizing the foundation for energy restoration can the other conditions for the alchemical process be developed. Before engaging in alchemical practices, it is crucial to prepare the body’s ability to absorb internally, focusing on the stomach and semen. Even with physical readiness, mental strength is essential to absorb both qi energy and jing essence.
