The Qigong postures assist our flow of Qi by shaping the body and stretching the Qi meridians. Dan Tao Qigong derives its principles from the meridian system found in Traditional Chinese Medicine combined with the Theory of the Five Elements. By holding the body gently in various positions, one can enhance the flow of Qi and blood to the different areas of the body. The Way of Meditation in Qigong is remaining mindful and being constantly aware of the environment and our interaction with it. For the Third month is the beginning of Spring, the moment when liver Qi becomes abundant in our body.
Taoist meditation involves an open awareness rather than concentration.
Much misinformation has been propagated about Taoist meditation. Let your breathing be natural, with no partial closing of the wind pipe, the esophagus or the larynx. All joints of the body should remain in a slight state of supple motion rather than being locked. Let awareness permeate every single pore of your body like mercury. Gather in consciousness, the spirit, Shen.
