These are the arts of the Nei Tan or Inner Alchemy. The Hsing Chen philosophy of health is based on ancient principles of traditional Chinese medicine. This approach understands the body to be designed based on fluid movement. When the body is free of stress and tension there is optimal health.
Fluid movement keeps the joints flexible.
Lack of fluid movement causes joint deterioration. Lack of internal fluid movement causes stress and internal imbalance which ultimtely leads to Internal Organ dysfunction. The fluid nature of the physical body is intimately linked with to the emotion and mind. The mind's health affects the body, likewise, the body's health affects the mind. This principle was succinctly described in a French Journal published in 1778 by the Jesuit priest in China, Cibot.
