Download or read book Clouds Over Qingcheng Mountain written by Wang Yun and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immersing the mind with the concepts of the Daoist path of health and immortality, Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain invokes the sacred birthplace of one of China's mystical mountains that has stimulated both mind and body for generations. Whilst the first volume, Climbing the Steps to Qingcheng Mountain, invited the reader to travel across time and through the history of China and Daoism, Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain is more focused in the book's purpose. Wang Yun places special focus on relaxation and the breath through five sets of foundational yet all-encompassing practices, such as posting, to deepen both themes. He offers tales from his life and journey, along with accessible tools to strengthen both body and qi. Bridging the gap between practical experience and philosophical background, Clouds over Qingcheng Mountain simplifies the complex practices of Daoism handed down by generations of accomplished Masters, and gifts the reader with its most valuable aspects for a modern world.

Download or read book The Taoist Road to Health written by Masao Hayashima and published by Kodansha. This book was released on 1997 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taoism ("the Way"), said to have been founded in China in the fourth century B.C., emphasizes oneness with nature. Doin ("Taking the Way") came into being in order to translate Taoist thinking into practical terms for the promotion of physical and mental health. Doin forms the basis for the modem disciplines of T'ai Chi and Qigong, incorporating simple exercises, breathing practice, and the enhancement of ki, or the spirit that pervades not only the individual but the outer world as well. The Taoist Road to Health first provides an overview of Taoism and Doin, placing each in historical and philosophical perspective. Next comes the heart of the book: thirty exercises for attaining physical and mental well-being. The exercises are basic and easy to put into practice -- each has been carefully selected by the author as eminently suitable for beginners. Masao Hayashima is the foremost practitioner of Doin in Japan, and the founder of a 20,000-member dojo. For those who prefer not to concentrate exclusively on one aspect of health -- physical or mental -- but would like to find a truly harmonious combination of the two, The Taoist Road to Health may well be the first step toward a new way of life.
