易 筋 經 Yì Jīn Jīng Muscle Tendon Change

The Muscle Tendon Changing Classic - Yì Jīn Jīng 易筋經 'Toughen my sinews, harden my bones, Make my blood flow freely, I will then be young forever In touch with the realm of gods.' Canon of the Great Void The Muscle Tendon Changing Classic - Yì Jīn Jīng 易筋經 strengthens the muscles and tendons, to promote strength and flexibility, speed and stamina, balance and coordination of the body. According to tradition Bodhidharma 菩提達摩 (482-539) settled at the Shaolin Temple - Shàolín Sì 少林寺 around 527CE. He saw that the monks of Shaolin - Shàolín 少林 were too physically weak to handle the rigors of lengthy meditation so he retired to a cave to ponder the problem. After meditating against the cave wall for nine years he emerged and taught three sets of exercises to the monks. One set of external exercises; the 18 Luohan Hands Shíbā Luóhàn Shǒu 十八羅漢. And two internal exercises; The Muscle Tendon Changing Classic - Yì Jīn Jīng 易筋經 and Bone Marrow Cleansing - Xǐ Suǐ Jīng 洗髓经. The tendons are taken to represent the meridians, and the marrow is taken to represent the heart. The Muscle Tendon Changing Classic - Yì Jīn Jīng 易筋經 changes the tendons and opens the meridians throughout the body and clears them of blockages. Once the blockages have been removed the energy - Qì 氣 can then flow naturally and health can be restored. The smooth extended movements of The Muscle Tendon Changing Classic - Yì Jīn Jīng 易筋經 stretch the bones and tendons and improve blood circulation in the fascia of the related areas of the body. It can, when done on a daily basis over a period of time, restore tendon and muscle strength and flexibility and in particular enhances the flexibility of the spine. Practice leads to good health, a strong immune system and slows the aging process As taught by Doctor Frank Yurasek LAc, PhD.
