But
this is the slow fire. Earlier you said that the quick fire is required
to convert yin jing to yang jing. The quick fire is certainly
not meditation, but the book Taoist Yoga doesn’t mention what it is. The
only description I could find about it in the book is that it is a form
of breathing.
You are making a claim with no evidence. So I will provide now evidence that debunks your false accusation:
The Fa Chueh says: ‘To remedy this negative state
requires concentration of true inner fire which is done by
fixing spirit in the lower tan t’ien, the source of foetal
breath, by drawing the pupils of the eyes close to each other
in order to bring the cavity of vitality into focus and by
using the bellows to bring quick fire into action; as a result
of pointed concentration a mass of true inner fire will soar
up causing spiritual light in the cauldron to illuminate the
whole body the four elements of which (see note 3 on page
41) are thereby sublimated. It will eliminate this malefic
negative state and restore the brightness of the elixir in
its cavity (under the navel)
And so the Quick Fire is the process of alchemy by meditation as concentration (visualization):
‘Shifting’ is motionless change, that is transmutation by quick fire which results in nothing any longer
having form or shape whether seen closely or from a distance, and includes the elimination of every impure residue.
Only this can be called true efficiency.
quick fires (from regulating the breathing)
so that the genital organ will draw in, the inner light will
manifest before the eyes,
Inner light - meaning you see something with your eyes closed (or so closed you don't see things externally)....
in so doing you should use your non-discriminative concentration to lift and lower it in order to complete
a full orbit.
So what is "concentration" in relation to "quick fire"?
However, if he can unite the element of metal (male)
with that of wood (female) and the sun with the moon
in one place by drawing his pupils closely together in
a squint and if he then concentrates them and looks
within, he will see the light of true vitality appearing
(between his eyes) in front of his original cavity of spirit
which will then hold it to prevent it from running away;
If that is not meditation - then I don't know what meditation is.
should strive to
control his heart (the house of fire) by driving his mind
into the field of concentration so as to still and disengage
it from sense data. When the mind stops wandering outside,
consciousness will melt away, and the five aggregates will
be empty of externals so that spirit and vitality will gather
and stay within and no longer scatter without.
This is also called "subduing the dragon"
by concentrating on spirit
to gather vitality he will thereby cultivate (eternal) life;
The practiser should then turn inwards his
eyes to concentrate on the lower tan t’ien as long as possible
until its inner heat vibrates.
Immortality is attained after the successful cultivation of
(essential) nature; this is why in Chapter 1 we began by
teaching concentration on the original cavity of spirit
(tsu ch’iao between and behind the eyes). For he who
succeeds in cultivating nature, can expect to realise (eternal)
life as well.
When he inhales postnatal (fresh) air should enter
by the nostrils and the throat gradually reaching the lower
tan t’ien cavity (under the navel) simultaneously he should
lift his concentration from the mortal cavity (at the root of
the penis) up the spine until it reaches the top of his head.
So it's not JUST BREATHING - it is breathing plus meditation.
‘When the sun and the
moon without unite (i.e. when the pupils of both eyes are
drawn close to each other in a squint for pointed concentration), the heart (the house of fire) and lower abdomen
(the house of water) within are automatically linked;
only then can prenatal vitality develop gradually.
or this:
Then concentrate both eyes pointedly on the lower tan
t’ien centre (under the navel) and breathe deeply so that
your breath reaches that centre. If you do this for one hundred days your lower tan t’ien will become hot, your eyes
will flash light and you will hear something like wind
blowing in your ears;
and this:
raise the tongue
to the palate, make pointed concentration to shrink the
genital organ, drive the breath in and out of the nostrils
and roll the eyes up and down in order to block the duct
that discharges the generative force,
and this;
act immediately even before turning
away their perverse thoughts. They should concentrate on
the mortal gate (at the root of the penis) and breathe in to
lift (the vital force there) up to (the lower tan t’ien cavity
which is) 1-3 inches under the navel,
and this;
the practiser
should unite the two pupils (i.e. draw them together by
squinting) to concentrate on and drive spirit and vitality
into the lower tan t’ien (under the navel) in order to produce
and nurture the immortal seed.
and this:
unsteady concentration has
cooled down the inner fire....If he is stirred by sense
data and opens his eyes to look outward, his concentration
and spirit will scatter damaging the immortal seed.
So clearly the celibacy is innately tied to the meditation AND the breathing.
The master P’eng Mou Chang said: ‘The method of
producing the immortal seed consists of “uniting” the heart
with the eyes for pointed concentration on the lower abdomen so that if vibration is felt there, vitality can be
immediately circulated (in the microcosmic orbit) for
purification, but the slightest carelessness on the part of the
practiser can cause it to drain away thereby nullifying
all previous progress.
The "pointed concentration" is
connected to "rolling the eyes" - it is to copulate the dragon and tiger
(yin and yang qi) for the purification of the heart spirit energy.
eyes on its flame, rolling them from left to right
nine times to vibrate the (positive) vitality in that centre
(between and behind the eyes) so that it drops to the
cavity of (eternal) life (under the navel) already full of
(negative) vitality so that both vitalities unite to thrust open
the original cavity of spirit (tsu ch’iao in the centre of the
brain).
The union of (positive) with (negative) spirit is achieved
by uniting (or drawing together in a squint) the pupil of
the left eye which stands for positive spirit with that of the
right one which stands for negative spirit for concentration
on the upper tan t’ien centre (in the brain).
And so the
synchronized breathing - causes Cardiorespiratory synchronization -
which means the vagus nerve energy increases - and this is done through
biophoton synchronization:
Monkey heart and running horse of intellect: When one breathes in
and out, one’s concentration causes the generative force to rise
and fall in the microcosmic orbit thus slowly turning the wheel
of the law.
quick
and slow fires (i.e. the relevant breath rhythms)
should be
used with concentration on the cavity of mortality
(sheng
szu ch’iao) at the root of the penis until the penis is checked
and brought under control.

Motionless Change - actually means Parasympathetic Rebound.
The Quick Fire is continued until the parasympathetic rebound occurs.
So the rotating of the Eyes - connects the Right side vagus nerve (yang qi) to the left side vagus nerve (yin qi).
And so the sympathetic nervous system pushed to the extreme then activates the right side vagus nerve as yang qi.
