Ba Duan Jin - Eight Silk Brocades (21 min)

The Eight Silk Brocades is a Qigong Flow sequence of 8 movements that dates back to the 12th century. Originally documented as a medical Qigong to promote longevity and health, the Ba Duan Jin has been interpreted in hundreds of variations and forms. This routine follows the Daoist form, which compared to Buddhist forms, are more Yin and soft.

Like all Qigong Flow forms, the Eight Silk Brocades is meant to be repeated and practiced daily as preventative medicine. Although this serves as a complete routine, I also recommend doing some extra Purging warm ups beforehand.
