2. Superior Female Alchemy Practice

Sit in meditation in full lotus or half lotus;

1. Cup both breasts with both hands and knead them inward thirty-six times (or a multiple of thirty-six), then knead them outward thirty-six times (or a multiple of thirty-six). While kneading, quietly visualize the Shanzhong point (the spot between the two breasts) until it becomes warm. Then, in turn, visualize the Yongquan points and the navel chakra also becoming warm. Then shift the focus of your contemplation back to the Shanzhong point and form a mudra: the thumb and index finger extend upward in a sword-finger gesture, while the three remaining fingers are crossed and clenched into a fist. Sit in meditation for a while, then close the practice.

2. Once your practice has deepened, you may also practice when your period comes. But you must use half lotus or loose crossed legs.

Efficacy: Practicing this method allows women to accomplish the “Severing of the Red Dragon” and achieve the restoration of youth and vigor. Caution: This internal practice is unsuitable for women who are preparing for pregnancy or seeking to conceive.
