Dantian or Tan t'ien Chinese: DÄ?ntián 丹田; Japanese: Tanden 丹田; Korean: ë‹¨ì „ DanJeon 丹田; Thai Dantian ตันเถียน which literally means cinnabar or red field and is loosely translated as elixir field. It is described as an important focal point for internal mative techniques and refers specifically to the physical center of gravity located in the abdomen three finger widths below and two finger widths behind the navel. The dantian is important in Neidan, qigong, neigong, tao yin and other breathing techniques, as well as for traditional Chinese medicine and is also widely used throughout East Asian mation and martial arts theory, especially the neijia school of Chinese martial arts and Tai Chi Chuan.1 According to principles of Chinese alchemy there are three dantians in the body: The lower dantian is located 1.3 inches below the navel and is also called the golden stove.2 The middle dantian is in the heart and in Western anatomy is associated with the Thymus gland. The upper dantian is in the brain just behind a point directly between the eyebrows and corresponds to the Third eye, in Western anatomy this point corresponds to the Pituitary gland.314. In speaking specifically of the lower of the three points, the term dantian is often used interchangeably with the Japanese word hara è…¹; Chinese: fù which literally means simply belly. In Chinese and Japanese tradition, it is considered the physical center of gravity for the human body and by extension the seat of one's internal energy qi. A master of calligraphy, swordsmanship, tea ceremony, martial arts or comparable disciplines is held in the Japanese tradition to be acting from the hara. However it should be noted that whereas the dantian is a fixed location anatomical region of the body that the centre of gravity is a theoretical concept and can move about even moving outside of the body in relation to the movement of the limbs. Taoist and Buddhist teachers often instruct their students to center their mind in dantian, held to aid control of thoughts and emotions. Therefore, acting from the dantian is considered to be related to the state of samadhi. The dantian also roughly corresponds to the Indian concept of the manipura, or navel chakra in yoga philosophy, thought to be the seat of prana that radiates outwards to the entire body. 5 References ^ T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Mation by Da Liu, page 92 - Routledge and Keegan Paul 1987 ISBN 0140192174 ^ Taoist Yoga by Lu K'uan Yu page 10.
