Ba Duan Jin / Eight Silk Brocades 八段錦

The Eight Silk Brocades (Ba Duan Jin) is a Qigong Flow sequence of eight 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.

Thank you for demonstrating this routine which I am doing two different versions(same movement but done slightly different way) to yours but also 8 movements daily for the last 8 years and never missed a single day. My advise to all is follow this beautiful and very calm Teacher daily and NEVER EVER miss a day and than you will see the results. I love your presentation your voice and calmness in explanations. Well done Teacher stay safe and healthy.

Here's a Buddhist joke: "How do Taoists practice Immortality? They make every moment feel like an eternity. "

[@alqurannulkarim1350]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that s soo true

[@stiv66630]

Shi heng yi version of 8 brocades does feel like that lol

[@aiai-j7i]

I learned this, the seated 8 pieces of Brocade and the Swimming Dragon almost 30 years ago when I was going through a really rough time. I am so very grateful to have found the instruction here and have made Qigong a daily practice again, thanks to you. Thank you, Marisa!

[@michaelaschmitt4248]

[@peacerus]

Thank you, I like your style. Always grateful for everything you share!

[@moonpluto]

Been doing this on and off for years. There are different versions. This one is comprehensive and disciplined. Good refresher. More elaborate and wider movement on bow and arrow than others I've seen. Nice pace. Also larger movements for wise owl. Great explanation on meridians and organ focus for each movement. The whole thing could be done in 5 mins normally.

[@Mersnake]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

[@aandrusiak]

This is what I like about Marisa's videos. She explains how the energy moves and lets us feel it in real time.

Beautiful! Thank you so much, Marisa. I will be doing this one each morning through Autumn.

[@CassaundraPaolini]

Absolute gratitude🙏 ... felt it in my soul to begin the 8 silk Brocade for the last two years and recently the message "I must begin it" though I've not been able to motivate myself for that specific practice, yet look forward to doing other Qigong routines (inspired by you). So indeed, a deepest heartfelt thank you for this offering, which I will start NOW!❤
