Level 45: Nursing
Three years of "suckling" the emerged spirit body.
Description
Three years of "suckling" the emerged spirit body. The classical prescription; the emerged shen is treated as an infant.
This entry is a reconstruction. The Mo Pai sources do not publish a curriculum for level 45, so what appears above is drawn from classical Taoist internal alchemy and from the shape the Mo Pai literature implies for the "The Yang Shen" band. It is a map of the territory the tradition describes, written by this archive rather than taken from the lineage.
