Ocean of Qi: Tan Tien Empowerment is one of the most powerful Taoist Qi Gong practices, specifically designed to cultivate the vital energy and strength of the Tan Tien and Perineum. This practice lays the essential foundation for advanced Martial Qi Gong techniques, such as Iron Shirt Qi Gong, Tai Chi Qi Gong, and even the dynamic Animal Forms, as well as for deepening meditation practices.

​

The Tan Tien, often referred to as the "ocean of Qi," serves as the body’s primary energy reservoir, where the Qi generated, gathered, and absorbed through Qi Gong, Tai Chi, meditation, and Animal Forms is stored. According to Chinese medicine, once the Tan Tien is fully charged, this abundant energy overflows into the eight extraordinary meridians. As these fill, the Qi naturally flows into the twelve ordinary meridians, each linked to a specific organ, making the Tan Tien the cornerstone of the entire energetic system.

​

Ocean of Qi: Tan Tien Empowerment helps you build and harness Qi pressure within the Tan Tien, transforming downward, depleting energy patterns into upward, revitalizing forces that enhance your life force's quantity and quality. This practice not only enhances your healing and martial arts abilities—especially in Iron Shirt, Tai Chi, and the Animal Forms—but also deepens your meditation practice and enriches your daily life by nourishing your original force.

​

In essence, the increase of Qi pressure within the Tan Tien through this practice roots both your body and mind, empowering you to achieve greater health, resilience, and overall well-being.
