The Lower Dantian
Xia Dan Tian - ‘Qi Ocean’ or ‘Golden Stove’. Location: Two fingers below the navel and 3 fingers breath inside.• Considered the wellspring of human energy and the residence of Original Qi, which has been converted from Original Essence (passed down through our ancestors).
• In Daoist meditation and Chinese martial arts training much attention is devoted to connecting with this lower dantian. This is because it is the thing that allows us to be physically / mentally ‘rooted’ or ‘centered’. Rootedness is the basis for all martial arts, meditation and Qigong practice.
The Middle Dantian
Zhoug Dan Tian - Location: Solar plexus• Connected to our feelings, thoughts and emotions, this energy centers specializes in maintaining the health of the internal organs.
- The center of post-birth breathing where energy from the Jing (essence) of air and food is gathered and converted into Qi. The heart and lungs convert air Jin into Qi and the stomach and digestive system is where food Jing is converted. This process is similar to burning wood to create heat. Unlike Original Qi (inheritated Qi), the Qi created through the conversion of air and food Jing is unpredictable and not always benefitial. When someone lacks sleep or is eating too much ‘yang / positive food’ (i.e. peanuts) their body is said to be ‘on fire’ and their body has an excess of Fire Qi.
• The Qi created here remains in the middle Dan Tian until it is utilized throughout the body by means of the Conception and Governing vessels. The Conception vessels runs all the way up the front and the Governing vessels runs all the way down the back.
The Upper Dantian
Shang Dan Tian Location: In the forehead• The brain requires a lot of Qi to function properly. Qi is delivered to the brain through the Thrusting Vessel which runs directly up the spinal cord.
• Your spirit resides in the Upper Dantian. When there is an abundance of Qi in the Upper Dantian the spirit is energized, if not you will become unfocused, depressed and mentally unstable.

These audios basically prevent leakage from each storage point. So if you’re going through a heartbreak and have strong emotions it’s due to leakage you got in your middle dantien (heart center) sealing this storage will theoretically put a stop to those strong emotions, a sense of getting your emotional (in this example) power will kick in.
Look more into it.
). He said that this is the field for an introvert. I didn’t get what that meant so I ignored it for a while. I finally bought this field after reading a different review and I thought that it would be useful to have.
