Okay. I will briefly tell you about the outer practice. However, people are often more interested in the marvel of the outer practice than the importance of the inner practice. Moreover, practitioners of the inner practice generally tend to focus on demonstrating their outside practice abilities. But if one can see that the outer practice of Sundan is only a reflection of how much inner practice has been achieved. Therefore, the outer practice cannot be accomplished alone. If one only does the outside practice then it will not be different from any other kind of physical training. When only doing the outer practice, the limits of ability will be the limits of bodily stamina alone. If you understand that the strength of Sundan is energy power rather than bodily power then you will soon recognize that energy power comes from the inner practice. Therefore, one should think of inner practice methods as energy accumulating methods and think of the outer practice as energy changing methods. Then one will know the true meaning of the so-called inner and outer practices.
The 9 stages of danbup (for inner practice) that I have already described are mainly composed of the adjustment of yin and yang through inhaling and exhaling. It is the dan practice method. It is the flow of energy itself that fundamentally prevents and heals disease. Healing occurs by the means of Sundan, the generating force, which makes Won-gi (source energy) of heaven and earth flow in the body. There is a saying, "以道以治病Cure illness by Dao". Sundan is the prevention and healing of disease by Dao. Sundan is a primary form of healing and comes before medicine, acupuncture, or moxibustion. Symptoms which result from blockages at meridian points are naturally cured by good energy circulation through the meridians and to the whole body. But if one has not reached the level of Dao to be able to do this then we have to use herbs, acupuncture, or acupressure as a suitable method of healing. These treatments are more successful when done by a person with Dao power. You can see the inner practice method as an accumulation of energy and the outer practice method as the activating form of accumulated energy (the activating form of Won-gi).
Outer practice methods are called Ki-hwa-bup. I will describe a few of these.
1. Sun-gong-bup(仙功法, 365 movements)

However, the third, Chil-jung-bup(七情法) can be 修練practiced after going into the level of ‘Ji(智)’ and the fifth, Moo-gong-bup(無功法) can be practiced after going into the level of ‘Ji(地).’ Ki-bup(氣法) can be practiced over the level of five Ji(地).
