4 How is the practice of Dao Yin? | 導引Dao Yin Daoist Yoga

A typical Dao Yin (導引) session should be undertaken during the early morning hours, when the Yang Qi (陰氣) of the Sun is on the rise; practitioners should find a quiet, secluded, warm, and clean space where they can be undisturbed for the duration; they should relieve themselves and loosen any restrictive clothing. Then they begin with mental concentration and deep breathing, allowing body and mind to calm and be ready for the practice. Initial formalities may also include the invocation of protective deities or the formal chanting of invocations. More specifically, Dao Yin (導引) involves gentle movements of the body in all kinds of different positions together with deep breathing and the focused mental guiding of Qi (氣) around the channels. Both the emphasis on breathing and the conscious guiding of Qi (氣), often expanded into visualization, play an important part in the entire tradition of Dao Yin (導引). They tend to be combined with specific forms of body movements and stretches that range from simple, repetitive moves, such as lifting and lowering the toes, through semiacrobatic feats, such as hanging head down from a rope, to complex integrated sequences that take the body through various postures and open, lengthen, and vitalize all different parts: muscles and joints, tendons and channels. Many Dao Yin (導引) sessions involve clicking the teeth and beating the heavenly drum (snapping fingers against the back of the head while placing the palms over the ears) to stimulate internal vibrations and connect to the subtler levels of Qi (氣). Often self-massages of the face, eyes, ears and whole body accompany the practice, stimulating the qi-flow in these areas; and many times a practice called Dry Wash (today known as Marrow Washing) is recommended; this involves passing the hands over the entire body along the lines of the energy channels, again to stimulate and balance the flow of Qi (氣). The specific needs of the practitioner determine which practices are then chosen. Numerous simple techniques can improve specific areas of the body; they relieve pains, relax tensions, and open Qi (氣) blockages. Many easy sets warm up and energize the body, moving all the different joints from feet to head, without focusing on specific symptoms or areas of the body. A number of set sequences serve to increase qi-flow and enhance health and long life. Other practices are more internally focused: using very little body movement, they emphasize holding the breath or guiding the Qi (氣) through the different regions of the body, in some cases visualized in a wide spectrum of colors and as splendid palaces and passageways. Sessions can last from ten or twenty minutes to an hour or more, involving also meditations and ecstatic communications with the deities. A weekly session of Dao Yin is divided into five groups of basic exercises that serve to restore the overall health. These exercises are designed to be performed a different exercise every day, so have a whole week of training where you vary the exercises are not allowing the body and be used all the time receiving different salutary impact. Every day is to drink tea (茶), and herbal energy elixirs (酏劑), to help facilitate the internal circulation of energy, thus increasing the effectiveness of physical exercises. The following describes a typical week of training, which varies exercises and consumption of medicinal herbs: Day number one:
