Alchemy in Classical Chinese Medicine concerns the redemption of the shen-spirit from the jing-essence. Alchemists are more interested in promoting longevity and immortality by preventing disease, than they are in treating people medically after they have contracted an illness. All of us have a Mingmen Fire, which we typically burn slowly as we live our lives. When our Mingmen Fire begins to diminish and weaken, our yang qi fails to protect us, and diseases can take root and proliferate.

Alchemical traditions focus on consolidating our yang qi and bringing it to the right temperature in the caldron of our lower dantien, so that we can transmute and change our Jing, preventing it from further decay. If successful, we seal our qi, which permits us to enjoy longevity.

In this class, Daoist Master Dr. Jeffrey Yuen discusses the uses of gems and stones in alchemical traditions to promote longevity.

On Monday, Dr. Yuen will demonstrate the clinical uses of alchemical gems and stones in treating patients presenting with various problems. The lab is limited to 30 participants.
