The Tao of Breathing Print
Thursday, May 03 2007

Breathing is a key element in nearly all healing, meditative and martial disciplines. This is especially true in the Taoist tradition, in practices such as qigong and taiji, but there is a great deal of confusion surrounding breathing techniques among practitioners of these arts. In this class Masahiro Ouchi, Director of the Healing Tao Center of New York, will explain and clarify the crucial role of breathing in these practices and then teach us a wide range of breathing techniques used for different purposes. These will include methods for centering ("ocean," "turtle" and "palm and sole" breathing), for energizing ("dantien," "spinal cord" and "tiger and dragon" breathing), to enhance healing ("skin and bone" and "tao sexual" breathing) or awareness ("go-qi"), or to balance emotions ("Buddha laughing" and "Kuan Yin crying"). Come discover how you can enhance all your pursuits with a deeply informed approach to the science of breath.
