K'an & Li: Fire And Water Alchemy |
|
The alchemy of fire and water is at the core of
all Taoist internal practices. In K'an & Li the fire is the fire of
supreme love from the heart and the water is the water of refined creative
sexual energy from the kidneys and genitals. These two primordial energies
are carefully brought together in the cauldron in order to generate
the energies of harmony as a subtle vapor. This simple process is what
the ancient alchemists represented as the inner marriage of soul and
spirit or the union of Heaven and Earth. | |
The high frequency energies generated through
the union of subtle fire and water deepen the healing process already
taking place through the basic Taoist practices. Kan & Li practice has
a profound effect on the gland system regulating energy flow from the
subtle to the physical plane. This takes place through the direct work
on the central channel at the cauldron.

Most retreats will take place during the ascending
energy phase of the moon, which is the right timing for energy practices
where polarities are brought together. The dates fall within the energy
phases of the I Ching hexagrams 5 and 9. Hexagram 5 shows the union
of fire and water for the first time in the sequence of the 64 hexagrams
of the I Ching.. Hexagram 9 shows the practitioner how to work with
the emerging powers of creativity and play. The advice from both hexagrams
will be utilized in carrying out the retreat.
