CIRCLE WALKING

Ba Duan Jin and Walking Meditation

The Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong is one of the most common forms of Chinese Qi Gong and is used as a form of general daily exercise. Variously translated as Eight Pieces of Brocade, or silk reeling, the form refers to how the eight individual movements of the form characterize and impart a silken, gentle, and elastic quality to the body and its energy. The Ba Duan Jin is primarily designated as a form of medical qigong, meant to improve health.
