Through rising and squatting, extending and withdrawing the limbs, bending and stretching, the movements help maintain health and cultivate the spirit. The book provides step-by-step, fully-illustrated instruction on the Mawangdui Daoyin Shu, and includes a brief account of the origins of the movements, with additional learning tips for each movement, and information about the health benefits. An accompanying DVD features a video demonstrating the form and additional information on its history and origins, and a CD provides options for verbal instructions to lead the practitioner through the exercises, or music to accompany them. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis accessible and beautiful form will be of interest to experienced practitioners and beginners alike, and especially to those interested in the authentic connection with forms practised in ancient China.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthors\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther compilation by: Foreign Languages Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy (author): Chinese Health Qigong Association\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Singing Dragon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459798024348,"sku":"SD270","price":33.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/2407\/0044\/files\/mawangdui_20daoyin_20shu_20singing_20dragon_20qigong.jpg?v=1787459374","url":"https:\/\/primenaturalfoods.com\/fr-ae\/products\/mawangdui-daoyin-shu-qigong-from-the-mawangdui-silk-paintings","provider":"Prime Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
