Daoyin Yangsheng Gong

 

Daoyin and Yanghseng are two health-keeping practices, highly appreciated and practiced extensively by the broad people masses in China since thousands of years.

 

Prof. Zhang Guang De developed Daoyin Yangsheng Gong on basis of a keen study of classical theories of Chinese Daoyin, Yangsheng and Longevity schools in the years 1974 - 1976.

Meanwhile he has set up a System of more than 50 Daoyin Yangsheng Gong exercises containing Qigong, Tai Chi bare handed and weapon routines.

The main focus of Daoyin Yangsheng Gong system is set on health preservation.

The movements are fluent, beautiful and easy to learn. While practicing they enfold their calming and relaxing qualities.  The exercises are characterized by well organized combination of postures and unique style which keeps the breath of ancient flavour. 

"Clinical application, mass practice and research work have all proved their effectiveness for prevention and cure of a variety of acute and chronic diseases as well as for a good physique. Instant effect can be achieved without any side effects. "

Forms of the Daoyin Yangsheng Gong system:

 

Xin Baduanjin: One of the most ancient forms of Qigong is Baduanjin "the eight treasures", originally written on eight pieces of brocade which is handed in many different versions. Baduanjin helps to stimulate the immune system, strengthens the inner organs, leads to inner balance and clears the mind.

 

Kidneys Qigong: Prolongues your life: In the system of Chinese medicine the kidneys are in charge for youthfulness and life-span, for they store the prenatal life-energy Qi.

 

Kidneys are also in charge for the Jing which is included in bones and brain. The exercise is designed to prevent and cure disorders of the urogenital system, strengthens bones and may help with chronic diseases.

Stomach - Nourish your life-energy

 

In traditional Chinese Medicine stomach is referred to as the source of Qi. It is in charge for the fermentation of food and drink and enables the spleen to transform Qi from the essence of nourishment. Therefore the stomach is the most important of the Yang-organs. Together with the kidneys it supports the muscles with Qi and food and strengthens muscles and body. If stomach and kidneys are strong, so is the person.

"If the stomach is strong, the prognosis is good."

Stomach Qigong harmonizes the Qi of stomach and supports the ability to produce Qi.

The exercise is designed, based on Daoyin theory, to prevent and cure digestive system disorders such as constipation, haemorrhoid, hepatitis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

 

Heart Qigong: In traditional Chinese medicine the heart is in charge for the fire, which has to descend to the kidneys to warm them and offer best conditions for working of the Qi. It is also regulating the blood and blood circulation, and supplies the blood with Qi.

Liver Qigong: Due to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is in charge for our muscles and tendons and the harmonic flow of the Qi. Liver supplies our body and muscles with blood and regulates blood flow. The mutual influence of liver Qi and emotion is extremely high.
