In Taoism, the journey to spiritual growth always starts with the body. Ancient Taoist masters believed: if your body is weak, tense, or imbalanced — your spirit has no stable place to reside. That’s why Taoist practices first focus on cultivating inner vitality through the organs, movement and breath.
At the core of this system lies the Lower Dantian — your energetic center in the belly. It works like a biological battery🔋, collecting and storing Qi. When it’s charged, you feel grounded, clear, and focused. When it’s depleted, energy leaks away — leaving you tired, unmotivated, or emotionally scattered.
Reconnecting with this inner power is the first step toward true balance.
