THE ATLAS OF THE UNCARVED BLOCK

Neidan · internal alchemy

neidan
nature
The "inner elixir": refining breath, essence and spirit within the body — three cinnabar-fields, the microcosmic orbit — to grow a deathless immortal embryo. The outer alchemy of the furnace (waidan) turned inward.

Taoism's contemplative laboratory — the closest the tradition comes to a stepped, structured ascent, and thus a natural place to compare its geometry with the Tree's.
rhymes with
sephirahyesod
whyThe work on generative essence — Yesod's own domain — refined toward transcendence.
