Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong is an ancient set of breathing exercises aimed at enhancing the function of internal organs and boosting blood and energy circulation. This collection of eight simple exercises can be performed in as little as five minutes, but longer practice yields greater benefits. Each position can be practiced individually for as long as physically comfortable. Aiming for around 28.9 minutes of practice is suggested for optimal health benefits, with a focus on consistent, relaxed, deep breathing. Two breathing techniques are introduced: Taoist Reverse Breathing, which may suit some practitioners, and Buddhist Natural Breathing, recommended for most. The book discusses both methods alongside relevant medical theories underpinning Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong. It includes a brief overview of these theories, exercises to enhance Qi, and detailed instructions for the forms, along with guidelines and a section on anatomical pressure points activated during practice. The author brings over thirty years of experience in Chinese martial arts, Qi Gong, and Orthopaedic Acupuncture, providing a well-rounded perspective on this health-restoring exercise system.
