Introduction

The Qi Kong method “Duong Sinh” (life sustaining) [1] Way of the Heart” consists of four exercises based around the use of a long light stick. Each exercise consists of four movements; giving 16 movements in all. The movements in this particular Qi Kong method were invented by the elderly Mai Bac Dau, and revised by Zen master Tinh Tu who put the instructions together in a compact form and added photographs to make them easier to remember and practice.

The exercises are very well adapted to every age. Elderly people should do the movements slowly and calmly, repeating them 5 to 10 times.

Love the “Duong sinh” stick

Body blooming, spirit shining

One life is so short, my friends!

Live lightly to transform pain and suffering.
