The true and false Dantian
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the concepts of the true dantian and the false dantian.
What is the actual difference between the two, both in theory and in practice? Are they simply different methods of training, or are they referring to entirely different energetic structures or developmental stages?
Does one have any advantages over the other in terms of internal development, martial application, health, or longevity? Can someone who trains using a "false dantian" eventually reach the same level as someone training the "true dantian," or are the outcomes fundamentally different?
I'd also be interested in hearing which Nei Gong schools or lineages are generally considered to teach , purely so people can compare methods and philosophies—not to criticize any particular school.
Thanks!
