The Xia Yuan method works on the pure original Qi of the five Yin organs and, in turn, will also affect the six Yang organs, which are closely connected with them. This method can strengthen organ Qi and connect and regulate the pure original Qi of the organs in the body.

The design of this method draws on a wide range of teachings and methods in wisdom culture, from traditional to modern, with the creator’s application and profound understanding. Sounds, mind activity, visualization, and hand forms are used to improve the pure original Qi of the organs. The purpose of this method is to strengthen the functions of the organs, prevent organ illness, and continually improve their health.

In the Yuan Gong system, there are three stages with three methods in each stage. The Fourth Method is basic in the Second Stage – the Internal Transformation Stage. [Note: The First Stage is the External Transformation Stage, which is mainly for the improvement and strengthening of the physical body, including skin, muscles, tendons, sinews, bones, and the physical aspect of the organs.] This method bridges the first three methods and the Fifth Method. It helps advance one’s Qigong level by practicing the first three methods and further deepens their effects. The practice of the Fourth Method also builds the foundation for subsequent methods.

Xia Yuan can activate and move the pure original Qi of the organs quickly and strongly, so it can have obvious effects on improving organ Qi. It is a simple method that is relatively easy to learn and practice. It is designed to be efficient, so the practice is relatively short. The practice of Xia Yuan also gives rise to strong Qi sensations.
