Qigong & Dao Yin – methods to prevent illness & injuries

Qigong & Dao Yin have been around for thousands of years (origins between 5000-1500 BC) but does that matter?

Well, yes! These methods have proven the test of time. The “new” health care program is actually the “old” program that has worked for millions of people over the years.

Accountability for ones own health – take a pill or eat better. Surgery or exercise to fix an ailment. Qigong is not the answer for everyone or all issues, but why not look into it before making decisions that will effect the rest of your health and life?

The Universal Circle Principle

Often people see Tai Chi (Qigong & Yoga) as some simple, slow motion, boring types of exercise for older adults. There is so much more going on that is not usually seen, understood or taught.

Unseen is the following:
– deep, rhythmic breathing
– movement in the 3 anatomical planes
– theory behind spiraling and gentle twisting of the torso and limbs to stimulate blood/energy flow while moving the internal organs
– philosophy of opposing forces interacting together
– inner journey of self-awareness while trying to become present in the now.

And so much more than meets the eye. For more information, contact at 407-234-0119.

Noble Stances – Dao Yin – Qigong – stance training

Noble stances are a combination of various stances from different styles of Chinese martial arts. Stances, in this case, meaning correct placement of the feet, knees, hips, and arm positions relative to ones center of gravity. Executing static positions and holding the particular body positions for anyway from a few seconds to several minutes reaps many benefits foremost being able to cultivate a strong and healthy core. These exercises are very similar to yoga, being from the same root origins within ancient India.

These types of exercises have long been know to not only prevent and/or improve injury and illness but to help increase mental focus as well as self-awareness. Tai Chi, Qigong & Dao Yin are methods that deliberately focus on moving and exercising the organs, strengthening the bones & nervous system, stimulating the vagus nerve, and engaging the mind.
