Level 16: The Upper Field
Attention reaches the upper dan tien, between the brows.
Description
Attention reaches the upper dan tien, between the brows. The most dangerous relocation in classical practice; premature work here is the standard cause of qi deviation.
This entry is a reconstruction. The Mo Pai sources do not publish a curriculum for level 16, so what appears above is drawn from classical Taoist internal alchemy and from the shape the Mo Pai literature implies for the "The Yin Shen and Separation" band. It is a map of the territory the tradition describes, written by this archive rather than taken from the lineage.
