Water Dragon Arts – Taoist Yijin Jing Qigong (accelerated course)

Yijin Jing Qigong (Muscle and Tendon Transformation Qigong) is an effective method to facilitate healing through deep relaxation, regain vitaility and robustness and increasing innner power and strength. It is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Over time it can transform even the smallest framed individual into a healthy and strong person. In this course we will cover the Taoist method from Tiantai Shan which is closely following the authentic Yijin Jing principles in combination with Zhan Zhuang Gong (Standing Pole Exercises).

The Yijin Jing is my personal favourite Qigong practice. When you develop this practice to a high level, the Yijin Jing can transform even the smallest framed individual into a healthy and strong person capable of incredible feats of strength and willpower. As you will find out soon, there are different layers to this practice and it is important to be patient and stick to the correct order.

The Daojia Yijin Jing is particularly good for beginners because you’re basically starting out by setting the correct foundation for any type of Qigong. – Relaxation and the awareness of Qi. Only if you are able to find the right combination of relaxation (song) and engagement in each position will you gain the benefits of this practice. This method is adhering closely to the principles of the Yijin Jing and is using the practice of Zhan Zhuang Gong. (Standing Pole Exercises)

What is the Yijin Jing?

The original Yijin Jing is Damo’s solution for cultivating body, mind and spirit simultaneously. The true strength of the body is expressed through the tendons, rather than the muscles. Tendons don’t just require much less maintenance and caloric fuel than building muscles, they also hold up their strength long term. The practice of transforming the muscles and other tissues to get a tendon-like quality, will make the entire body strong and robust. You will develop great health and cultivate an abundance of Qi. The practice of the Yijin Jing optimizes the body’s functions and helps you to develop a vital, springy and elastic property within the body.
