Detailed Explanation of the Locations of the Dantian

There are many locations of the dantian—not just the few fixed spots ordinary people know. For different cultivation needs there are different locations; this article explains them in detail. 1.

Cultivation mainly focused on the brow is mostly cultivation of the yin spirit, and this is the aperture through which the yin spirit enters and exits. 3. Nose-tip dantian—the place of holding concentration; this dantian is mainly used for Chan-school meditation attainment, often initially holding the nose tip as concentration. 3.
