Text Box: Daoyin is a Daoist system that cultivates and circulates the Qi by focusing on breath and movement. Its aim is to harmonise the mind/body relationship. The breath provides the rhythm to which the mind and body can synchronize. There are many different sets of movements that can be done lying down, seated on the floor or chair, or standing up. Each movement has a specific purpose. Eg. A backward stretch may open the Du mai, a meridian that travels up the spine to the top lip. As the mind/body merges and personal awareness develops, it is also possible to experience a connection to the rest of the universe. As Daoist philosophy states: As above, so below. I.e. The microcosm that we are is only a reflection of the macrocosm that is the universe or Dao.
