The general situation of "refining gas" has been briefly mentioned above.Then we will talk about "refining Qi and transforming God".But can "refining" really turn gas into gas? How can "refining Qi" turn into a god?These words, rough sounds, seem to be reasonable, quite fascinating.In fact, there are problems everywhere.It has already been mentioned above that "essence" is not the essence of "semen", and now it is more necessary to explain that pure "true qi" is not the qi of breathing.Those who really pay attention to cultivation only need to initially use the qi mechanism of breathing to induce the "true qi" inherent in the human body.So, what exactly is "true qi"?This is really a difficult question to define.Especially for foreign friends (including various language systems of Western culture), it is even more difficult to explain.In Western languages, when the word "Qi" is mentioned, the words Yoga and Prana naturally come to mind.However, the meaning of this word is not exactly the same as the so-called "true qi" in Taoism and real meditation.If we forcefully quote the knowledge of modern natural science, we can also name it "the life energy of the human body" or something similar.

Generally, people who learn "meditation" or practice Taoism, as long as there is a sensory response during the process of "meditation", most of them think that it is the activation of "qi mechanism", which has already had the effect of "refinement and transformation of qi". up.If due to the accumulation of "meditation" time, this feeling reaction spreads and expands, extends along the spine, or feels in the chest and abdomen, it is considered that the qi is ascending along the "du channel" and has turned around to open up the "Ren", The "supervisor" has two veins.In fact, as long as people who are in good health, or who are weak and slightly sick, can maintain a fixed posture for a long time without sitting still, or quickly or slowly, more or less, they will all have this kind of reaction.But this is by no means the real effect of "refining gas".Although this kind of reaction in the process is also the effect of meditation and is not a bad thing, it still hasn't laid a solid foundation for the initial "refining oneself and building a foundation".For "refining gas", there is a long distance.
