The Four Dragons | Free Book
Within the context of a larger discussion of Dao Yin, Damo Mitchell
teaches and explains the Dragon Dao Yin exercises, a set of four
short sequences designed to work with the subtle energies of the
spine and lead pathogenic energies out of the body.
More
'Yang' in nature than Qi Gong, Dao Yin focuses on outwards movements
and strong internal cleansing. The book highlights this important
distinction and covers the theory, history and development of Dao
Yin exercises, as well as the relationship between Chinese medical
theory and Dao Yin training. One chapter is devoted to problems
related to stagnation and the flow of Qi, and explains the different
causes and forms of stagnation. Later chapters look at breathing
patterns and the extension of Yi, opening the joints, and rotating
the bones and spine. Damo Mitchell also discusses stillness as the
source of movement, the philosophical significance of the Dragon and
the pearl, and the means of hardwiring Dao Yin exercises into the
energetic body. Central to the discussion is the concept of the
spine, and how to wake it up.
For the first time in the
English language, the Dragon exercises – Awakening, Swimming,
Soaring and Drunken – are described in detail, with photographs and
step-by-step instructions on each of the exercises as individual
therapeutic exercises and as a form.
