Axises of the Dan Tien?

This is kind of a continuation of another thread but I’d thought I’d start a new one.

Ok…

  1. Bai Hui to the Hui yin

  2. Ming men to the Qi Hai

  3. ?

Is there one that goes from one side of the body to the other?
ie from hip bone to hip bone?

Peace

Couldn’t the dantien, as the center of your dynamic sphere, be considered to have infinite axises?

True, if we were talking about an abstract sphere. But the human body has some limitations on the ways in which it can move.

4

One could argue that their are limited ways the body can move, but does that limit the way chi moves?

Peace :smiley:

Well said Illusionfist.

Would it be safe to say that the micro-cosmic orbit uses these axises to complete the orbit??

I think if we are interested in thinking of the body is a linear fashion then vectors and axises would be the way to go. On the other hand, one might say that the axises are not direct in the sense that chi travels in a spiraling fashion throughout the body and hence nourishes several areas amongst the flow of those axis’s.
