凡人亡念奔驰，不思回头，盖不知有己。然学道初入门，及乎却病初下手，每云先要筑
基炼
己者，何也?己者，意中之土也，时时返念守中。然昆仓至于涌泉，周身前后之窍，虽各家
传授，各取其善，若能精守其一，皆可起病，不必得一望二，持两可之见，而辩孰是孰非。
余诀云∶总之摄心归一，专其一处，皆可止念，故取身中有后二窍为则，其归元取用父母生
人受气之初，而能聚气之原，运动周天，可参艮背通关之效。然艮背者，昔林子阐教为最，
余受之家传快捷方式而更妙。若夫运动，则贯彻任督二脉，兼以导引，则神功烁见矣。
【归元诀窍】 归元者，父母生人受气之初，剪断脐带，一点落根元也。有生之后，情
欲
雕琢，未免精耗气散，不能返本，须求安土敦仁之法。盖土者归元也，人者仁也，以一点仁
心，敦养于土，六根皆归于元，心有所注，久久凝定，便觉真种常在，方可用意营运。行之
之法，提意出上，斡旋造化，从左而右，先运脐轮，收而放，放而复收，以还本位，不离这
个，念自归真矣。
【周天】 先立安土守中，得诀纯熟，后行周天，流通一身，散彻四肢滞气。其法从
前运
于脐轮，由小而大，大而收小，根据次而上，至璇玑穴向左臂打圈而下，至曲池，经内关溯掌
心及指尖，圈出手背外关，而上肘后肩井，及大椎而下，运于尾闾，由上复下过玉枕，逾昆

大凡人在世俗中亡失正念、奔波劳碌，不知道回头反省，大概是因为不知道自己本真的存在。然而修道刚入门，以及治病刚开始下手时，常说首先要“筑基炼己”，为什么呢？“己”在五行中对应意中的土，需要时时返回念头，守住中宫。从昆仑穴到涌泉穴，全身前后的窍穴，虽然各家传授不同，各取其长处，但如果能精专地守住其中一个，都可以治愈疾病，不必得此望彼，持有犹豫不决的态度，去辩论哪个对哪个错。我的秘诀说：总之是将心神收摄归一，专注于一处，都可以止住杂念，所以选取身体后部的两个窍穴作为准则，回归本源以取用父母生育人时受气之初，能够聚气的根源，运动小周天，可以参考艮背通关的效果。然而艮背法，过去林子阐教最为著名，我接受家传的快捷方式而更加奇妙。至于运动，则贯通任脉和督脉二脉，兼以导引，神妙的功效就会显现了。
【归元诀窍】 归元，是指父母生育人受气之初，剪断脐带，一点元气落根于元海。出生之后，情欲雕琢，难免精气耗散，不能返本还源，必须寻求安土敦仁的方法。盖“土”即归元，“人”即仁，用一点仁心，敦厚涵养于土中，六根都归于元海，心有所注，久久凝定，便觉得真种常在，才可以运用意念进行营运。修行的方法，提起意念向上，斡旋造化，从左向右，先运转脐轮，收回来再放开，放开再收回来，以回到本位，不离开这个，念头自然回归真境了。
【周天】 先确立安土守中，得到口诀纯熟后，再行周天功法，流通一身，散彻四肢的滞气。其方法是从前运于脐轮，由小变大，由大变小，依次而上，到达璇玑穴向左臂打圈而下，到达曲池穴，经过内关穴溯至掌心及指尖，圈出手背外关穴，而上肘后肩井穴，及大椎穴而下，运于尾闾穴，由上复下过玉枕穴，越过昆仑穴、泥丸宫、面部，上鹊桥，降重楼，达胃口过脐，至玉柱，复归气海，行于右腿，历经膝关穴，由鞋劳穴穿足背，至指尖转涌泉穴踵后，上运过阴谷穴，通尾闾，又圈至顶门，如前下鹊桥，依次送左腿，似右法而落涌泉，又升泥丸及璇玑穴右行，照左手转过肩背，贯昆仑而下摄元海，如此将周身经脉宣畅，徐徐回转，但意念一到而气随之跟随，这是有作之周天法，也可以与造化参同。

Generally, people lose their mindfulness and rush about in worldly affairs, failing to turn back and reflect, largely because they do not know their true self. However, when first entering the path of cultivation, or initially beginning to treat illness, it is often said that one must first "build the foundation and refine the self" (Zhuji Lianji). Why? The character "Ji" (己) corresponds to Earth within the intention (Yi), requiring one to constantly return the mind and guard the central palace (Zhonggong). From the Kunlun point to the Yongquan point, the apertures throughout the body's front and back vary in transmission among different schools, each selecting its strengths. If one can precisely guard just one, it can cure illness; there is no need to desire one while possessing another, holding a hesitant view, and debating which is right and which is wrong. My secret says: In short, gather the mind into unity and focus on one place; this can stop distracting thoughts. Therefore, I select two posterior apertures in the body as the standard, returning to the origin to utilize the initial qi received at conception, the source capable of gathering qi, moving the Microcosmic Orbit (Xiaozhoutian), which can reference the effect of Genbei Tongguan (opening passages via the Back). However, the Genbei method was most elucidated by Linzi Chanjiao in the past; I received a more exquisite quick method through family transmission. As for movement, it penetrates the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and Du Mai (Governing Vessel), combined with Dao Yin (guiding and pulling exercises), and miraculous efficacy will become apparent.
[Guixuan Jueqiao (Secret of Returning to the Origin)] Guixuan refers to the moment of initial qi reception at conception, when the umbilical cord is cut, and a single point of qi takes root in the Yuanhai (Sea of Qi). After birth, carving by emotions and desires inevitably leads to the consumption of essence and scattering of qi, preventing a return to the origin. One must seek the method of An Tu Dun Ren (Stabilizing Earth and Cultivating Benevolence). "Tu" (Earth) means returning to the origin; "Ren" (Person/Human) means benevolence. Using a single point of benevolent heart, cultivate it thickly within Earth, so that the Six Roots (senses) all return to the Yuanhai. With the mind focused, after long periods of condensation and stability, one feels the True Seed (Zhenzhong) always present, only then can intention be used for operation. The practice method involves lifting the intention upward, manipulating creation, moving from left to right, first rotating the Umbilical Wheel (Qilun), contracting and releasing, releasing and contracting, to return to the original position. Not departing from this, the thought naturally returns to truth.
[Zhou Tian (Microcosmic Orbit)] First establish An Tu Shou Zhong (Stabilizing Earth and Guarding the Center); once the secret is mastered, then perform Zhou Tian circulation to flow through the whole body and dissipate stagnant qi in the four limbs. The method begins by rotating at the Qilun, expanding from small to large, then contracting from large to small, ascending step by step to the Xuanji point, circling down the left arm to the Quchi point, passing through the Neiguan point to the palm and fingertips, circling out to the Waiguan point on the back of the hand, then up behind the elbow to the Jianjing point, and down to the Dazhui point, then moving to the Weilv point. From there, it goes down again over the Yuzhen point, passes Kunlun, the Niwang Palace, the face, ascends to the Queqiao (Bridge of Magpies), descends through the Chonglou (Throat), reaches the stomach opening, passes the navel, to the Yuzhu, returns to the Qihai, travels down the right leg, passing the Xiguan point, piercing the dorsum of the foot through the Xielao point to the fingertips, turning to the Yongquan point behind the heel, ascending over the Yinggu point, connecting to the Weilv, circling again to the Dingmen (Top of Head), descending like before to the Queqiao, sequentially sending the left leg, similar to the right method landing at Yongquan, then ascending to Niwang and the Xuanji point, moving right, following the left hand's path around the shoulder and back, penetrating Kunlun and descending to gather at the Yuanhai. Thus, the meridians of the whole body are unblocked and smooth, slowly turning back. When intention arrives, qi follows; this is the Youzuo Zhou Tian Fa (Method of Microcosmic Orbit with Action), which can also participate in the workings of Creation.
