The Spiritual Valley
-- Another document, ''Concealed Secret of Fong's Family'' says; ''There is a crux in the body which is named ''Xuan Pin''. This place is how life can be alive. In fact, this place is the residence of spirit. It is the place where the Three Origins (San yuan) (Jing, Qi and Shen) ( Essence, Qi and Spirit) gather. The cavities where the essence (Jing), spirit (shen), soul (Hun), and vigor (po) meet. It is the root where the Golden Elixir (Jin Dan) (Qi) returns and the place where the immortals conceive their Holy Embryo''. Also, Dao De Jing (chapter 6) said; ''(if) the valley spirit does not die it is called 'Xuan Pin'. The gate of the Xuan Pin is the root of Heaven and Earth. It exsists softly and continuously. When you use it, it will not be exhausted.'' This document clearly points out that ''Xuan Pin'' is the place where spirit resides (Shen Fu). This place is at the middle of the brian and commonly called, ''Spiritual Valley'' (Shen Gu) or ''Mud Palace'' (Ni Wan Gong). It is called valley because physically the brain is constructed of two hemispheres, and between them, a valley is formed which is able to generate resonance to correspond with energy from outside the body. (See image). The center of this valley is actually where the pienal and pituitary glands are located (see 2nd image). In spiritual cultivation, Daoists belive that through cultivation of essence (Jing). Qi and spirit (Shen) and gathering them at the spiritual conter, the Spiritual EMbryo can grown, which will result in the birth of the spiritual baby (re-open the third eye) (Kai Tian Yan).
When this happenens, enlightenment can be achived.
Scientifically, when you condence your spirit at this center, your mind is leading the stored Qi fro mthe Real Lower Dan Tian (bio battery) upward through the spinal cord (Thrusting vessel) (Chong Mai) to this center, and stimulating hormone production. Hormones act as catalysts in the body's bio-khemical meatbolic process. When the hormone content is high, the vital force is strong and longevity can be reached.
From this we can see that in fact, in Embryonic Breathing we are aiming for spiritual breathing at the Upper Dan Tian (SHang Dan Tian) and also Qi breathing at the Real Lower Dan Tian (Zhen Xia Dan Tian). As mentioned earlier, there two polarities are the Yin and Yang aspects of the same thing. Therefore, while it seems there are two plaecs, nevertheless therey function as one. Spritual wind (Ling Feng) implies the flow of spirutal energy that passes through your body.

Will try and scan the images later, its only of the center of the brain detailing where the pienal gland is, the other details the hemispheres. Dr Richard Kings ''books'' rather quotations seems like a heap of compiled gibberish but it gave me a surprise reading through this book on Qi-Gong and finding this.
