In this episode we talk to Robert Coons, Daoist practitioner author of Internal Elixir Cultivation: The Nature of Daoist Meditation, about the various internal practices of Daoism and his own practices and lineages.
We also discuss his understanding of the meanings behind the different characters for Qi, namely 氣 and 炁, and how their relate to various Daoist practices, as well as scholar and Daoist practitioner 陳攖寧 Chen Yingning and his theories of the 三元 or “Three Originals”.
Robert’s courses and his book can be accessed at his website www.daoistmeditation.com.
