阳炼阴销举世稀

阳炼阴销举世稀
修炼阳魂，消除阴质。修炼阳、消除阴的方法，是天真皇人传授给黄帝的“三一”秘诀，这就是其中的道理。如果神与气相互契合，阳气自然被炼化，阴气自然被消除。这都是自然的理数，是阴阳使它们这样的。《黄庭经》说：“玄元上一魂魄炼”，其道理极其深奥玄妙。人们很少能知晓它的深奥之处，所以说：“举世稀有”。
灵文妙诀好遵根据
灵文，指金简之书。妙诀，即“三一”之法。这些内容都起源于归秘藏，飞入玄都。如果不是至人（得道之人），不传授此道。修炼阳、消除阴的道理，化生于虚无的机遇，云凡人能达到什么境界呢？
阳缘躁动难拘系
想要拘束系留（阳气）的人，道理不在于偏取一端，道可以双全，并非依靠孤立的束缚而成妙用。玄刚说：“凡人余下一分阳则不死，余下一分阴则不仙也。”
认取灵元上上机
灵元有上等的契机，这是制约躁动的关键。太白真人说：“玄机到来则身体存留，玄机离去则身体丧失。”
宫阙重重号玉都
玉都，就是泥丸宫。上丹田有九处宫阙，全部相通贯穿。所以说：“宫阙重重”。
还丹成就处阳垆
还丹，指真精。上丹田是全阳之宫，是单独贮藏还丹的地方。人人都有，所以说“成就处阳垆”。
通神夹脊为衢道
这个宫阙有两条脉，从夹脊降至下丹田气海，以通达真精，点化和气而应验脱泄（精气外泄）。
下应关元事不虞
关元，是下丹田脱泄精气的关口。如果人交感阴阳，则真精降下至关口。点和气变为凝精，以应神用。大概这个关是百脉汇聚之口，通达诸脏腑及四肢筋脉，如同藕丝窍气化之所，所以称为关元。上若应下而行道者，认为不会有忧患了。
Yang Refines Yin, Yin Dissolves: Rare in the World
Refining the Yang Soul and dissolving the Yin Substance. The method of refining Yang and dissolving Yin was transmitted by Tianzhen Huangren (Heavenly True Imperial Person) to Huangdi (Yellow Emperor) as the secret of "San Yi" (Three Ones); this is the Dao. If Shen (Spirit) and Qi (Vital Energy) combine, Yang naturally refines itself, and Yin naturally dissolves. These are all principles of nature, caused by Yin and Yang to be so. The *Huangting Jing* (Yellow Court Classic) states: "Xuan Yuan Shang Yi refines the Hun and Po souls"; its principle is extremely profound and mysterious. Few people know its profundity, hence it is said: "Rare in the world."
Spiritual Texts and Wondrous Secrets: Good to Follow as Basis
"Spiritual Texts" refer to books on golden slips. "Wondrous Secrets" refer to the method of "San Yi" (Three Ones). These all originate from hidden stores and fly into Xuan Du (Mysterious Capital). Unless one is a Zhiren (Perfected Person), this Dao is not transmitted. The principle of refining Yang and dissolving Yin transforms based on opportunities from emptiness and non-being; what realm can ordinary humans reach?
Yang Fluctuates Restlessly, Hard to Restrain
Those who wish to restrain and bind [Yang] should understand that the principle does not lie in partial selection, but the Dao can be complete in both aspects; it is not through isolated binding that wondrous functions are achieved. Xuangang stated: "If an ordinary person retains even a fraction of Yang, they will not die; if they retain even a fraction of Yin, they will not become immortal."
Recognize the Supreme Mechanism of Lingyuan
Lingyuan possesses a supreme mechanism, which is the key to controlling restlessness. Taibai Zhenren said: "When the Xuanji (Mysterious Mechanism) arrives, the body remains; when the Xuanji departs, the body perishes."
Palaces Layer upon Layer Called Yudu
Yudu refers to the Niwan Palace (Cinnabar Field of the Upper Dantian). The Upper Dantian has nine palaces, all interconnected. Hence it is said: "Palaces layer upon layer."
The Place Where Huan Dan is Achieved is the Yang Furnace
"Huan Dan" (Returning Elixir) refers to True Essence (Zhenjing). The Upper Dantian is the palace of pure Yang, the sole place storing the Returning Elixir. Everyone possesses it, hence it is called the "Place where the Yang Furnace is achieved."
Connecting Spirit Through the Spine as the Thoroughfare
This palace has two meridians descending from the夾脊 (Jiaji / Between the Shoulders) to the Qihai (Sea of Qi) in the Lower Dantian, to connect with True Essence, point out and harmonize Qi, and respond to leakage [of essence].
Responding Below to Guanyuan, No Worries
Guanyuan refers to the gate in the Lower Dantian where essence and Qi leak. If humans engage in yin-yang interaction, True Essence descends to this gate. Harmonizing Qi transforms into condensed essence, responding to spiritual function. This gate is the convergence of hundred vessels, connecting various zang-fu organs and tendons and vessels of the four limbs, like the pores of lotus roots where Qi transformation occurs, hence named Guanyuan. If the upper responds to the lower following the Dao, there will be no worries.
