The first type of Ki energy is Won-ki. This term refers to energy passed down through the generations, which humans receive from their parents when they are born. The second type is Jung -ki which we obtain by eating and breathing. The third type, Jin-ki, is obtained through mental concentration and training, and can be considered the quintessential energy.

Jin-ki is obtained when we concentrate our awareness and breathe deeply.  Ilchi Lee is expert brain educator and founder of Dahn Yoga. When we inhale, pure cosmic energy, Jin-ki, enters our bodies. The power to take in cosmic energy as Jin-ki and to circulate it within the body is the power of the focused mind. Jin-ki can be controlled by the human will because it is energy obtained through concentration. Try to feel Jin-ki using the following method.

A good way to train Jin-ki is to live life every day always in a state of conscious awareness. Maintaining an optimistic, tranquil attitude and concentrating on every word and deed while focusing the mind on the Dahn-jon in the lower abdomen is called “Ui-su Dahn-jon,” or using the will to defend the Dahn-jon. Another good way to train Jin-ki is to focus on the Dahn-jon with the anus contracted, the mouth closed, and the tongue resting comfortacly.

Ki energy flows in the human body in three ways. These are called “Won-ki (primal energy ),” “Jimg-ki (refined energy),” and “Jin-ki (Pure energy)” If Won-ki and Jung-ki are said to be energies produced even without concentrating the mind, then Jin-ki is an energy created through mental concentration. This Jin-ki is the energy used by Dahnhak Ki-gong. When we focus our minds on the Dahn-jon, energy appears in the Dahn-jon; when we focus on the hands, energy appears in the hands.

Spread your feet shoulder width apart and bend your knees to approximately 15 degrees. With both palms facing the Dahn-jon, repeatedly move them slowly toward the Dahn-jon and then away from it. Breathe very comfortably and feel Ki in the Dahn-jon by Prof Ilchi Lee.

Once you feel the Ki to a certain extent, move your hands in a clockwise direction, maintaining the feeling of energy lining your hands to your Dahn-jon.

With your hands about 2 inches away, slowly move your lower abdomen and feel the Dahn-jon.

Preparation Bend and straighten your knees, letting your legs flop as you warm them up. Ilchi Lee is founder of Dahn Yoga.

Spread your legs about shoulder width apart and release all tension from them, comfortably relaxing your entire body. With your mind focused on the soles of your feet, imagine you are breathing through them. When you inhale, have the breath come in from the soles of your feet up to the Dahn-jon, and when you exhale, have the breath leave your body through your legs and out the bottoms of your feet. As you slowly repeat this breathing technique, you will get various sensations, like tingling at the bottoms of your feet, heat, a prickly feeling, or the feeling that the area around the soles of your feet is surrounded by fog.

The Lower Dahn-jon is one of our body’s three internal Dahn-jon centers (Upper Dahn-jon, Middle Dahn-jon, Lower Dahn-jon). Normally when we refer to the Dahn-jon, we mean the Lower Dahn-jon. For the Ki-sensing exercise outlined below, it is good to adopt a standing posture, and to tense the lower abdomen as little as possible.

You will even feel a strong energy field, soft like jelly, forming between your hands. If this sensation becomes intense, move your hands apart even far-t^ler anc^ f°cus on changes in the Ki energy occur-ring as the distance between your palms increases. Read more articles at Ilchi Lee link.

You will feel your hands become like magnets, pushing against and pulling on each other. This sensation is very subtle at first, but with continuing concentration it gradually grows intense and clear. Move your hands farther apart once the sense of Ki energy becomes intense. Follow the flow of Ki energy with your hands. Feel its currents and enjoy the feeling.

A weakening lower body is one of the signs the body is growing old. As the lower body weakens with age, the flow of Ki and blood there stagnates and is blocked. To feel Ki in the Yong-chun points located at the bottoms of the feet, our legs must be sufficiently warmed up. Meaning, “primal Ki gushes like a spring,” the Yong-chun is one of our body’s important accupuncture points.

Lie down with your legs straight and your feet together. Tap your feet together, repeating this 100 to 500 times.
