The Dragon Point
In Taoist practice, a Dragon Point is a place in nature where two streams combine. Usually this exists in a valley, canyon or cleft high in mountainous terrain. Today's Taoist grotto-heavens, scattered across China, are mostly at these locations. It is said that these special places are charged with higher energy levels and serve as concentration points for Qi, the life breath - the energy of Tao. Naturally, areas where mountain spring-fed streams merge are surrounded by forests and vibrant wildlife.
According to Taoist sages and texts, it is here that Qi from heaven meets streams of Qi from Earth, is mixed together, and generates strong currents of energy. Life as we know it is attracted to this energy. Taoists would seek to practice and work near these areas, in order to understand and study the force and flow of Qi directly.
Sitting in meditation at a Dragon Point allows a practitioner of any religion, belief or spiritual following, or any lay or casual practitioner to tap into universal energy flows with ease. Here, attaining right concentration is simple. Breath comes naturally and easily. Finding the inner calm necessary to conduct inner alchemy work and experiment with the inner self comes without difficulty.
The purpose of this weblog is to act as a virtual Dragon Point, to allow readers to access, study and understand Taoist and Buddhist thought, psychology and practice and to apply it to their daily lives in order to heighten their levels of awareness, build personal power and enlighten their lives.
