元神調和

元神 is the life’s resource centre

元神是道家修煉用語，概念類似靈魂及內丹術。道家以元神為主的修煉，是煉出內丹再成胎化為陽神，修道人經修煉的元神可離肉身外出遊走天地之間（元神出竅 ― OOBEs, out of the body experiences），甚至捨肉身而去而單守獨存在，或飛昇，或轉世。

王重陽在《重陽真人授丹陽二十四訣》中說：「性者即元神」，又在《五篇靈文注》裡頭說：「元神者，乃不生不滅，無朽無壞之真靈，非思慮妄想之心」《重陽注五篇靈文》。《黃庭外景經》石和陽註：「元神者，心中之意，不動不靜之中活活潑潑時是也。」《脈望》說：「內念不萌，外想不入，獨我自主，謂之元神。」《武術匯宗》說：「此神亦謂之本性，亦謂之真意，其心必要清清朗朗，渾渾淪淪，無一毫念慮，無一毫覺知，則空洞之中，恍惚似見元神懸照於內，斯時殊覺五蘊皆空，四體皆假，而我有真我也。」

道教認為元神在心窩進去約略一吋的地方，而中醫學說認為人的腦部就是元神所在。明代趙台鼎在《寶顏堂訂正脈望》中說：「腦為上器元神所居之宮，人能握元神棲於本宮，則真氣自升，真息自定，所謂一竅開則百竅開，大關通而百關盡通也。」《錦囊秘錄》則曰：「腦為元神之府，主持五神，以調節臟腑陰陽，四肢百骸之用」。

"The primordial spirit is neither born nor perished, neither rotten nor corrupted. The true spirit is not a delusional mind"。「元神者，乃不生不滅，無朽無壞之真靈，非思慮妄想之心」《重陽注五篇靈文》

道教 believes that 元神在心窩進去約略一吋的地方, the 元神 Yuán shén is about an inch into the heart when 中醫 teaches that "The brain is the palace where the primordial spirit lives in the upper body. If a person can hold the primordial spirit and live in this palace, then the true 真氣 will rise and 真息the true breath will be self-determined. The so-called 一竅 one orifice opens. Then 百關 the hundred orifices are opened, the major gates are opened, and 百關 the hundred gates are fully opened."

元神出竅 ― Primordial spirit's OOBE

元神出竅是道教內丹術的說法，又叫神識出竅。就是說元神離開人的身體。只有當元神化為陽神或陰神，才能離體出竅。元神出竅一般是從泥丸宮中逸出。清代的《唱道真言》描述感覺為：「陽神脫胎之先兆，有光自臍輪外注，有香自鼻口中出。既脫之後，則金光四射，毛竅晶融……一聲霹靂，金火交流而陽神出於泥丸矣。」

三羅神功

道 advocates a profound psychological and physical transformation ― and discipline the body and ‘still’ the mind ― through meditative practice. This relies upon the production of good behaviour and good thoughts, which are used to generate 德 ‘virtue’ in the mind, body and environment. Virtue is the crucial power behind all self-cultivation, regardless of religious path. Without virtue ― which is generated by the practice of strict self-discipline ― there can be no genuine self-cultivation. By strengthening virtue, 元神 ㄩㄢˊㄕㄣˊ – Yuán Shén, the original spirit can reveal Its Self, and the related states of ‘life’ and ‘death’ are reconciled and understood.

性命雙修, xìngmìng shuāngxiū, the method of developing the ‘life essence through mind and body’ self-cultivation is distinctly 道家的.

The purpose of 元神 is to provide us with the life force essence, the elements that it needs to keep us alive and give us a direction in life so that we can feel that we are here for a purpose, and do not desire to die or commit suicide.

Every day, we interact with the 元神 without realizing it. Awake here, we start to absorb all sorts of elements with our eyes, ears, nose, mouth, etc. It all turns into energy, memory, and these things are stored in our hearts. When we get tired, we go to sleep and our heart will dump its energy to the 元神 while exchanging for some fresh and clean pre-heaven energies from 元神. As we wake up, we feel “charged up” again and can function again, because that 元神 is like our power source, it fuels our life! This is what we call “龍氣” the "dragon energy"!

When we have a bad time in the day, or before our sleep, then we are sending that bad energy to the 元神, which gives the 元神 a rough meal. In return, we get something bad from it later too. In short, if we do not want 元神 Sun to harm us, then we shall not inflict duress upon 元神 by shoving in bad energies and such. Let us mind what we see, hear, eat, and so on. Our every action in this world counts!

Sometimes, 元神 is having issues and hiccups, such as 犯太歲 issue, that make us experience the effect in our earthly life.

龍門 “dragon gate”

龍 is one essence that gives birth to a bunch of following essences that then chain up in one line or unit — to another place — and give it the potential to grow and be born. 

龍, therefore, is the essence that passes down from 元神 the yuán shén to another place, which is to us here and 產生 gives us birth so that we grow. 龍門 the dragon gate is the doorway that opens up the door between the two sides – us and our 元神, which is 六維的靈魂the soul in dimension 6. In order to pass through dimension 6, we have to open up 五維 dimension 5, which is actually the 門戶 “doorway” to the here soul. In dimension 5, there is a lot of forces pushing downward because energy keeps flowing from 1 to 2 to 3 and downward to 9. In order to “open the gate” we have to go backwards in the stream, which is hard as there is a strong resistance force, just like trying to swim upstream in a river or walking backwards in an escalator, difficult but not impossible.

To open 龍門 is to open the soul body or more accurately, it is about opening and strengthening the bridge between us and our 元神, i.e. being able to connect the two and let the dragon flows down — meaning the essence from 元神 to come down — into our physical life our here body.

五維 is the entrance, a doorway, to the “陰” world, the inside of the universe, where 萬物, all things are being born. That doorway or "陰道" is always closed and actually, one has to go in and connect into the 陰 world, in order for the essence to flow in, or the dragon to go in and give birth to new life. That may not be easy as we look for our 元神 (spiritual planetary body) due to the fact that we are not so well connecting with it, at all times since we were born and we are not attached to it anymore. 元神 only beams energy to us once in a while though we transfer thoughts, feelings and emotions back through distance when we sleep. Concurrently, we are not attached to it and 元神 may send us a bunch of essences that can get lost in mid-air as our soul is weak (soul which is the middle agent that delivers packages to us).

元神 is the spiritual planetary body of a person

If 元神 cannot deliver its package to us, due to some issues with the soul or other factors such as “偷運魔法” “luck stealing magic” and such, then you are going to be“倒霉”, having “bad luck” a situation characterized by 官鬼煞. Having the earthly skills, doing things properly and yet not getting — accordingly — the expected results is mostly due to the fact that our potential — our 元神 — is not doing well. To guard our 元神 and make sure It flows nicely towards us, we need a special path — such as 三羅天師道 that combines the three essential elements of creation — that teaches us how to do that and also gives us the power that allows achievement. Humans, as they are now, are not born with this power, and consequently cannot reach their 元神 at will. 

元神 does hold our very potentials, but these are all “先天, pre-heaven” energies that do not translate into for instance lottery winning, easy money, or high-profile careers or any pot-heaven matters. However, they can be translated or converted to these things if they are properly used for the said subject. As the electricity emanating from the power plant, such is the pre-heaven matter in 元神 and it holds all the potential for appliances at home. Still, the power lines must first be hooked up and then home appliances must be acquired — to be plugged into sockets — in order for them to function and demonstrate their actual powers.

Having 元神 able to connect through 龍門 and into our soul is like having the power lines built to connect to our home’s exterior — important because it only then allow the potential to be delivered. After that is done, still we need to have our own appliances and have them plugged in properly in order to get the desired final results. In Daoism, once connected to 元神 — to get back or renew our potentials in the form of the Pre-Heaven energy — we still have to work, do our part in the physical world for the power to be injected into what we do —  for bigger potential success and result to come.
