If we look at the earliest stages of internal practice, its main/ultimate purpose is to bring the mind into the body. This might sound overly simplistic, but it is a profound detail that many miss. Daoists state that we ‘shine our light outside’ too much of the time. We look to the outer world and interact with it using our five senses, but we spend too little time allowing our awareness to be interacting with our body; we must ‘turn the light around’. By doing this, we initiate a process of bringing Heaven and Earth back together again.
