Neidan 内丹 • Dandao 丹道
Inner alchemy (neidan), also known as “the way of the elixir” (dandao), is a process that typically involves a deeper commitment to meditative practice. A practitioner endeavors to refine the basic energetic constituents of their being through several sequential stages, transforming oneself from coarse and turbid to a more refined and pure state. The ultimate goal, which could be likened to enlightenment, is an alchemically-transmuted body of “pure yang” 純阳 that can transcend time and space and fully realize the Dao.
