The Ten Types of Chinese Qigong Health and Well Being Practices:

The Chinese Art of Yang Sheng (Well-Being, or prevention) is a systematic approach to personal health which contains many methods and modalities.

It was designed over thousands of years to help people achieve good health and vibrant energy.

Yang Sheng is not only concerned with the human body and mind, but also the entire environment surrounding us, therefore it uses aspects of time and space to help people achieve their health goals.

Although there are many Yang Sheng methods such as Qigong, Meditation, Dietary Medicine, Daily Habits and much wisdom and philosophy, it is safe to say that there are ten primary categories of Yang Sheng. If you understand them well it is easier to start on your well-being journey.

Below I will list the ten types of Yang Sheng and then describe each of them a little.

The Ten Categories of Yang Sheng:

• 1: 啬神 Se Shen：Conserve Spirit,

• 2: 爱气 Ai Qi：Respecting Qi,

• 3：养形 Yang Xing：Nurturing the Form,

• 4： 导引 Dao Yin：Exercise,

• 5：言语 Yan Yu：Speaking Habits,

• 饮食 Yin Shi：Food and Drink,

• 房屋 Fang Wu：Household,

• 反俗 Fan Su：Changing Habits,

• 医药 Yi Yao：Medicine,

• 禁忌 Jin Ji：abstentions,

These are the main ten categories which can make or break our Yang Sheng practice but outside of China most people only know about one or two.

Because I want to promote Chinese Yang Sheng culture and help people jump above the level of just doing Qigong and taking Medicine, I've decided to explain the ten categories in detail in the subscribers part of this post, so make sure to subscribe to my newsletter if you want to read it all in detail.
