Baduanjin, the Eight Pieces of Brocade, paired with structured cognitive training showed promising improvements in cognitive test scores among older adults experiencing both physical frailty and difficulties with memory or thinking.

My latest research review explains the findings and what participants actually practiced, including picture recall and sorting playing cards. You’ll also see how other exercise programs compared for walking ability, strength, and balance.

Embryonic breathing combines gentle breathing with inward attention and a traditional focus on the lower Dan Tian.

My latest article explores what the practice means, its spiritual purpose, and why forcing the breath can work against it. I also share a simple seated exercise to help you become familiar with your breathing and lower abdomen.

Your effort in Yijin Jing training and the food you eat between sessions both shape how your body adapts.

Muscles generate force, tendons transmit it, and dietary protein supplies the materials your body needs to repair and grow. My latest article explores how progressive training and protein intake support this process, including the different roles of dietary protein and collagen.

Your muscles use fat and glucose to fuel movement and support repair. In Yijin Jing, sustained postures and deliberate muscular effort give us a practical way to explore the physical meaning of cultivation.

My new article, Physical Alchemy in Yijin Jing, connects Jing, Qi, and Shen with muscle metabolism, tissue adaptation, and the attention you bring to practice. It also explains why nourishment and recovery matter alongside the work you do during training.

The Chinese writing in this image tells an old story about Shaolin Monastery and the origins of the Yijin Jing (易筋經), the Sinew-Transformation Classic.

According to the legend, Bodhidharma spent nine years practicing meditation while facing a wall at Shaolin. After his departure, monks repairing the stonework discovered a sealed chest.

They could not open it until one monk realized that wax held it shut. Applying heat melted the wax and revealed two texts inside.

One was the Yijin Jing, which described training and transforming the body. The other was the Xisui Jing (洗髓經), the Marrow-Washing Classic, associated with deeper spiritual cultivation.

The story says that Bodhidharma’s disciple Huike received the Xisui Jing, while the Yijin Jing remained at Shaolin.

But the monks could understand only parts of the writing. Eventually, one monk carried the manuscript into the mountains in search of a teacher who could explain it. At Mount Emei (峨眉山), he found that teacher and stayed to learn and practice.

This is the traditional origin legend. This story comes from a preface to the Yijin Jing (易筋經), attributed to the Tang dynasty general Li Jing (李靖) and bearing the date 628 CE.

How do Tummo "Inner Fire" practitioners generate warmth while sitting in meditation?

Research has documented measurable temperature increases during this Tibetan Buddhist practice, with breathing, physical effort, and visualization contributing to the response.

A single session of Liuzijue Qigong was followed by faster responses on an attention task, while accuracy remained high. Researchers also recorded changes in brain activity and a measure of inhibition in the motor system.

In Six Healing Sounds and the Science of Attention, I examine this new study through Western neuroscience and respiratory physiology, exploring how coordinating breathing, sound, and attention may influence performance.
