Yichuan - Standing Meditations for Health and Power

Yichaun was founded by Hsing-l master Wang Xiang Zhai. Yichuan "mind fist" teaches the practitioner to push the body and mind to the extreme limits while training to relax. In doing this, the awareness is enhanced allowing energy channels to be open and more active.

The core of this training is: standing meditations, walking, test of power, test of sound, health dance, breath work, and push hands.



The uses of Yichuan:


The postures of Yichuan and often used therapeutically to recover from injury or illness.  Many can be modified for use as physical therapy for those restricted to sitting or in bed.


When one is well Yichuan can be used by a disciplined practitioner to cultivate remarkable strength, endurance and hardiness.  Through the practice one develops deeply, intensely focused effort while simultaneously relaxing and rooting the body.
