Greatest Kan and Li: Gathering the Cosmic Light

The essence of the Greatest Kan and Li practice is the establishment of the cauldron at the Heart Center, and refinement of the soul and spirit. The practitioner learns the foundation procedures leading to coupling at the Heart Center; the activation of the Cranial and Sacral Pumps and the Alignment of the Three Triangle Forces. Coupling then leads to the birth of the Inner Child or Pill of Immortality and help you to draw energy from the Cosmos, enabling you to “plug in” to a resource of limitless power.

Master Chia and Dr. Andrew Jan provide you a clearly written and illustrated book that sits half way between the classics (including academic commentary) on ancient Taoist practices and a simple do it yourself take home manual. This book does this with copious drawings, illustrations, detailed explanations and frequently asked questions with the background and details on the formulas it includes a diet (Bi Gu) and herbs used in conjunction with the meditations.

The Kan and Li meditations are for advanced students seeking mystical enlightenment or immortality. It both contextualizes and bridges the gap between the Universal Healing Tao practices and the Taoist alchemy both in historical practice and other contemporary styles. The Kan and Li practices point to the Taoist road to spiritual immortality and Taoist internal alchemy. The immortal fetus is produced, nurtured and finally matures into a spirit body which unites one with the Tao. Master Mantak Chia is the first Taoist to introduce this spiritual discipline to the Western public which was used by Taoist Hermits in the practice of Inner Alchemy.
