Bagua Zhan or bagua palm; Sometimes called the height exagram - the dragon boxing of divination - the oracle arts; the influence of Yi-Ching has a tremendous impact in Bagua Chuan style and the doctrine of yin yang. Chinese historians have proved in history that the study of hexagrams allows practitioners to gain and develop an internal light approach to the spirituality. By gaining power to heal, the palms or mind have total control of the spirit. The initial, most challenging spiritual tasks are to free one from the emotional and psychic; co-conditioning of one’s past to become a mature human being. That is someone who can take the inner and outer responsibility for his or her thoughts and actions. Another spiritual challenge
involves low-balance (unbalance). Individuals must
develop capacity for
feeling genuine remorse for 
unnecessary damage they have caused both on
and off the training floor and be willing to correct
their moral shortcomings. In order to stabilize themselves spiritually, practitioners of martial arts will need to balance both their animal and human passions. Individuals at the human stage of
martial arts can practice without firing up
their glands, yet at the same time 
be vicious, greedy, spiteful, full of loathing and
hatred, arrogant, or self-delude. In short, it is far
from the spiritual. To be able to go beyond spiritual
blockages, Nei-Jia
practitioners must undergo
a moral purification process in which they develop and internalize a genuine heartfelt sense of morality.
During this purification, one's morality, in all its aspects, is constantly developed and tested, both in steady meditation and physical sparring. Without morality, the true process of spiritual martial arts cannot begin.
