The Taoist idea of refining Neidan refers to keeping the lower abdomen three inches below the navel. Because Xia Dantian is most closely related to human life activities. Taoism calls it the ancestor of life, the source of anger, the meeting of yin and yang, and the door of breathing.

Regular exercise of Neidan can stimulate energy substances in the human body, regulate and enrich the operation of qi and blood, improve the overall metabolic function, and play a role in strengthening the body, preventing premature aging and prolonging life. You can practice the following actions once every morning.

Stand naturally. Feet apart, shoulder width apart, relax and take six deep breaths. Then, your knees are slightly bent, your shoulders are relaxed, your elbows are lowered, your fingers are separated, your palms are placed inward in front of your lower abdomen, and your hands are spherical to protect your abdomen. Take the lower abdomen as the center and shake your body left and right. When the body shakes, the tongue touches the lower jaw and the whole body cannot be stiff. Then, put your hands on both sides of the lower abdomen, centering on the lower abdomen, and imagine that with the shaking of your body, the qi in your body gradually concentrates on the lower abdomen, getting stronger and stronger, and finally an egg-sized inner abdomen is formed.

Practice for about half an hour in a short time. Finally, take a deep breath for 9 times.
