A Daoist Qi Gong Meditation Classic -《胎息经》气功法

This is a short lecture and translation on possibly the oldest Daoist text (from the Tang Dynasty) on breathing, meditation, and Qi gong. The text is called the "Embryo Breathing Classic" - Tai xi jing (《胎息经》). This maybe one of or possibly the first translation into English of this classic.

I love the attention to accuracy in translating the ancient Chinese texts and trying to understand them as they would be understood by ancient Chinese people. This is a gem. Thank you Shuan

So insightful and a wonderful cultural deep dive 🙏🏼

Amazing! Turns on this is what I’ve been doing intuitively for quite a while. So this really rang true for me.

Good information. It reminded me that back when I was doing Tai Chi regularly they told you to focus on the abdomen breath.

Brilliantly articulated 🙏🏼
