El Qi sube por la columna vertebral
The Qi rises up the spline, and must then pass trough a gate at the cervical vertebrae, and from there througth the head. After the Qi has penetrated through the gates of the neck and head, it easily descends down the front. The energy's descend is easy, but the rise process is difficult. This is the most profound taichi gateway. Once this is accomplished, then wherever you put your mind, to any part of your body, the Qi instantly arrives. The energy permeates your entire being.
