Description

An Introduction to the Daoyin Practices of Yin style Bagua featuring Andrew Nugent-Head”The universe is a macrocosm of inter-connected relationship, each person is a microcosm of the universe. To understand the universe, one muster study oneself; to understand oneself, one must study the universe.” The Yi Jing, or book of changes enlightens this, and the art of Bagua manifests it through martial arts, medicine, and internal cultivation (daoyin). While it’s martial arts were famous, and its medicine kept secret, the true core of Bagua was daoyin. Through daoyin, the martial artist attained mental strength and physical agility; and the medical practitioner developed deep health and body awareness. 1st Hour: Introduction and Basic Theory2nd Hour: Marital daoyin – The lion, Dragon, and Rooster3rd Hour: The Eight Storing Qi and Developing Sensitivity exercises 4th Hour: The Eight healing sounds practices 5th Hour: The Shaking System and the Luohan Patting practices 6th Hour: Daoyin and Breathing practices
