Dan-Tien: Your Secret Energy Center

By Christopher Markert

Book Overview

The Dan-Tien is a source of primal wisdom and vital energy that resides within each of us. For thousands of years people in the East have learned to gather life energy (ch'i) in this center to promote wellbeing and longevity. Now, Christopher Markert reveals the secrets of the DanTien to Westerners in this friendly guide. When you think or act in a way that disagrees with who you really are, you may experience an unpleasant sensation in your Dan-Tien center. When your behavior is in tune with your emotions, you experience a sense of physical wellbeing. You have an "inner compass" that functions as a sensor (or an indicator); your compass communicates if you listen. Learning to use your Dan-Tien in everyday life is easy and the benefits are immediate. When you engage the energy of your Dan-Tien, your daily tasks become artful activities in which you joyfully engage yourself. Markert says that listening to your DanTien can bring you "millions of happy minutes" in all that you do and in all of your relationships. With the author's examples and visualizations, you can learn to let your DanTien bring you self confidence, love, and happiness.

my chi experience at Canyon Ranch

Two years ago I had the opportunity to spend some time at Canyon Ranch and had the most magnificent experience while there. One of their healing touch practitioners worked on my body. She was in full meditation and with her hands pressed around the edges of my body. In five minutes time, I began to experience (with my eyes closed and fully dressed) shoes off.) . . . shades of purple running across inside my eyes. Then, in my abdomen ripples of energy that were physical , , ,energy that she had engendered by her healing practice. It was a strange experience and it must have been the chi that she invoked in my body. Just that experience made me realize that, indeed, there is such a thing as chi. I suggest the reading of "The Intention Experiment" by Lynne Mc Taggart for a comprehensive understanding of this phenomena called dan tien. There is so much that we still do not understand about the energy selves that we are. It is a fascinating experience to learn more and more about the wondrous selves that we are !!!!!!!

Simple yet profound advice

A wonderful, easy-to-understand guide to the concept of the Dan-Tien. The advice and exercises are easy to put into practice, and can have a profoundly beneficial effect. Highly recommended.

EXCITING!

AS A HEALING TOUCH PRACTITIONER, I HAD HEARD OF THE DAN-TIEN, BUT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE KNOWN IN THIS AREA BY MY CIRCLE OF PEERS. I WAS EXCITED TO GET THIS BOOK AND THOROUGHLY ENGULF MYSELF IN IT. IT IS TRULY A CUT AND DRY SHORT-CUT TO HAVING A QUALITY LIFE BASED ON OUR OWN RESPONSIBLE NATURE. I LIKE IT, AND I INTEND TO FOLLOW IT.
