Here it is! A free 2 hr intense workshop on the 12 Meridian Mawangdui Dao Yin Qigong set.
Mawangdui Daoyin is a set of traditional Chinese mind-body exercises, recognized today as a form of Medical Qigong, that was reconstructed from an ancient silk painting discovered in the Mawangdui Han tombs in 1973. These 2,200-year-old movements combine physical postures, breathing exercises, and mental concentration to guide vital energy (qi) through the body's meridians for health and longevity.
The discovery of the Daoyin tu (Guiding and Pulling Chart) at the Mawangdui site near Changsha in Hunan Province was a truly extraordinary archaeological find. The painted silk scroll, dating to around 168 BCE, is considered one of the earliest known illustrated physical exercise charts in the world. It depicts 44 figures in various standing and sitting postures, engaged in exercises to prevent disease and promote well-being, many of which are strikingly similar to modern Qigong movements. Also included; Paida (Meridian Tapping), warmups and breath-work.
