This Paper Is Summarizing the Most Important Instructions That I Have Been Given by My Masters to Practice the Traditional Yijin Jing This paper is summarizing the most important instructions that I have been given by my masters to practice the traditional Yijin Jing. Since the release of my extensive program I am already revising the videos and will continue to do so until I feel that each lesson conveys every last bit of information and that each exercise/article will help you grasp the subjects on a profound level. After all, it is a learning process for all of us. I am not only a teacher but also a student. It is fundamentally important to understand the theory of practice in order to stay on the correct path. Being confident with the training method means that you know what to do, trust the process and most likely not give up. Only with consistent practice, patience and perseverance will we be able to get powerful results. In this paper I will summarize the fundamental principles and explain the process of transformation and offer you some insight based on my personal experiences. Please make sure to read through this introduction carefully. I’m sure by now you know that Yijin Jing is translated into Tendon Changing Classic. Technically you could call it the “Change the muscles to get tendon-quality Classics”, I will elaborate soon. “Yi “ means change or transformation and “jin” means muscles & tendons, but here also includes the ligaments, fascia and other connective tissues in the body. Together “Yijin” applies the total transformation of the body and mind and a qualitative change in the muscles and other tissues. “Jing” means classic as in the original concept of the practice or scripture that was written about it. First of all you should know that there exist many different methods and practice sets that call themselves the Yijin Jing. Have you ever wondered about that? The Yijin Jing itself is a series of guiding principles that have been adopted into most of the internal arts. Originally there was no movement that went along with the Yijin Jing. It was only a set of rules that governed the practice. These ingenious principles were recognized as so effective that they began to be incorporated into different arts like medical Qigong, martial arts, but also in a way for spiritual enlightenment practice. Some systems adhered so closely to the principles of the Yijin Jing that they called themselves by this name. Nowadays however, this can be quite confusing. Today you can find many methods, including simple Qigong sets for health, prescribed by the Chinese government or sports association, that are called the Yijin Jing. Often you find that these systems are barely following the principles or at times discarded this fundamental and absolutely essential part completely. Why this makes such a big difference you will find out soon. The guiding principles of the Yijin Jing are indeed part of many different Qigong systems. They create the frame work for effective body-development. You can see that an Yijin Jing practice is a Qigong system that combines a particular Qigong set with these principles. Generally you could say that the more a system is adhering to these principles, the more powerful it is. Let’s first look at the goal of the Yijin Jing and then discuss the principles. You’ve probably heard of the legend that says that Damo (Bodhidharma) developed the Yijin Jing as a way to cultivate body, mind and spirit simultaneously. This allowed the monks in the Shaolin temple to develop a stronger body that would not deteriorate. The results of this training are long-term, unlike conventional strength training which used to be mainly external. This meant the monks could use their strong and vital body as the vehicle for spiritual cultivation. The Yijin Jing describes a series of processes to put the body through to obtain great strength, vitality and health. First and foremost, the body needs to be transformed in different ways. All of the bodies functions and its efficiency need to be improved. This will make it run on a higher level, physically and energetically. Just this fact alone makes it very obvious why the Yijin Jing was incorporated in martial arts. Another process is helping the body regain its physical vitality. Physical vitality to the Chinese means that the body is agile and has elastic and springy qualities. If you look at young people you will notice these qualities. Unfortunately in modern days you will find that even young people are losing these qualities pretty fast. This is due to extended periods of sitting in classrooms or in front of their devices, lack of movement, or other lifestyle related reasons. The body naturally looses these qualities with age and the Yijin Jing is supposed to maintain or regain this physical vitality. The blood flow and the health of the blood need to be improved. This is essential in order to maintain and improve the bodies functions. Through lengthening the tissues (I will elaborate soon) and opening the joints the blood and Qi will flow more strongly and allow the body to become more efficient and strong. This process develops the channels which ensure a smooth and strong energy supply. You can compare your body with an engine. For it to become more powerful and run better you need to fine tune it, make sure you have a sufficient energy supply and good quality fuel. The last process involves Qi. It is important to accumulate and strengthen it. If you do not have a sufficient power supply you won’t be able to get the same results from the Yijin Jing. The stronger the Qi, the healthier the bodies functions will be. You see that Qi cultivation and storage plays an important role. That’s why, no matter what method of the Yijin Jing you practice, you need to make sure that it involves breathing exercises, small circulation meditation or any other internal cultivation practice that helps you accumulate and store an abundant amount of Qi. On its highest level the Yijin Jing was a foundation for the Xi Sui Jing (Marrow/Brain washing). With the channels opened and a strong and healthy body you are sufficiently prepared to commence the Xi Sui Jing. Whereas the Yijin Jing is to transform the body, the Xi Sui Jing is to transform the mind, purify the bone marrow and improve all the functions that are associated with it. The goals of the Xi Sui Jing is reaching spiritual enlightenment. You can see that with the adoption of the Yijin Jing principles it was possible to elevate the training in different traditions and arts. You could improve health through medical Qigong methods or a strong combat-oriented practice like martial arts. It enabled the potential for martial arts to become a spiritual practice. This is probably the reason why in China Kungfu and body-development are closely linked to the spiritual practice. Now you know what you can expect from the Yijin Jing training. However, the benefits reach much further and its uses are much broader. Naturally, it depends on the method that is combined with the principles. In order to delve deeper into the study, let’s take a look at the 6 layers in the body that we need to consider in order for a powerful transformation to happen. 1. First and most obvious are the muscles. In practice the muscles need to be relaxed and stretched at the same time. You can see that it is necessary to maintain a degree of engagement within the body that allows us to stretch the muscles, yet relax them completely. When the muscles are relaxed they don’t influence the tissues around them anymore and therefore they will be “taken out of the equation”. The muscles are the last thing that we want to build to develop strength. One of the most important rules is that the physical and mental development must come from the action of Qi. We will elaborate soon. 2. Second are the tendons. Now here it’s important to understand the terminology correctly. The term “tendons”, according to the classics of medical Qigong, does not only refer to the literal connection of bone to muscle but also includes different connective tissues and also refers to a quality. “Tendon Changing (Yijin)” therefore does not only mean that you will develop strong tendons (as the modern western medical terminology describes it) or simply a strong connection of your muscle to your bone. It also means that you will transform your muscles and other tissues to become of tendon-like quality. 3. Next, we will need to consider the sinew channels (Jing Jin). These are often described as tendon lines that run throughout the body. They are not literal channels as in tube or pipe-shaped lines but instead they are layers of different tissues and muscles that run through the body in a similar manner as the organ channels. These lines will need to be developed and “opened up” to promote strong sinew lines of good conductivity. 4. Probably the most essential layer in this body-transformation is what’s called “Huang”. The Huang is fascia, (possibly including other connective tissues) which fills the spaces in the body and upholds the organs. You can think of it as the substance between your muscles, bones, organs and wherever there would technically be an “empty space”. It is what holds our organs and other parts of our internal body in place. 5. Another layer is the bones. The bones are the structure that everything else is attached to. The muscles, tendons, connective tissues and the Huang.

  • Embryonic Breathing by Learning Normal and Reversed Abdominal
    Embryonic Breathing By learning normal and reversed abdominal breathing you have laid the foundation for the “Embryonic Breathing” technique. Your mind should be able to control your abdominal muscles and Huiyin (anus) naturally and habitually, without having to focus on this action directly. These first two techniques enable you to produce more Qi in your body. However, if you don’t know how to store this excess Qi in your body it will just be consumed (manifested) by the physical body. Embryonic breathing is a technique that allows you not only to cultivate, but also store Qi at the real lower Dan Tian, in the center of your abdomen. Through this breathing technique you reactivate or highly increase the natural circulation of Qi which is associated with this “primordial breath” that a fetus has inside the womb. This primordial “breath” is the intake of essential nutrients through the umbilical cord which is deeply connected to the expansion and contraction, (“pumping motion”) of the abdominal area and the Huiyin cavity. Through diligent practice you will be able to remember embryonic breathing, we all inherited it, yet forgot about it. When you practice embryonic breathing, the physical breathing process becomes increasingly more subtle and at times seems to cease completely. You will be able to tap into “the sea of Qi”, the area of the real lower Dan Tian and Mingmen and draw life-force energy directly from it. The purpose of the Yijin Jing postures is to increase the quantity of Qi to an abundant level, and then manifest it to the physical body for strength and longevity.

  • Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Enskilment Into the Environment: the Yijin Jing Worlds of Jin and Qi
    MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR WISSENSCHAFTSGESCHICHTE Max Planck Institute for the History of Science 2016 PREPRINT 486 Elisabeth Hsu, Chee Han Lim Enskilment into the Environment: the Yijin jing Worlds of Jin and Qi 1 Enskilment into the Environment: the Yijin jing Worlds of Jin and Qi Elisabeth Hsu1 Chee Han Lim2 Abstract The Yiji jing 易筋經 (The Canon for Supple Sinews) of 1624 describes martial training currently practiced, particularly in Chinese communities. This article compares two forms that the two co-authors learnt in different places: Singapore and Kunming in the People's Republic of China. One form is known as the Hong Fist (hongguan 洪拳) version of the Yijin jing, the other was taught as a form of qigong 氣功. This article focuses on the training of the authors in their respective practice. It demonstrates that the techniques learned instilled in the authors an attentiveness to the meanings that shaped their practice. These meanings were not primarily comprehended in a cognitive fashion but felt and experienced. In particular, the materiality of the environment, or more precisely the resistances that the environment posed to a practitioner, appear to have shaped the practice of the Yijin jing in distinctive ways. As argued here, the practitioners enskilled themselves through their practices into a world of either jin 筋/勁 (sinew/power) or qi 氣 (breath/wind). Key words: Yijin jing 易筋經, qigong 氣功, jin1 筋 (sinew), jin4 勁 (power), qi 氣 (breath/wind), enskilment 1 Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, University of Oxford, United Kingdom 2 SIM University, Singapore 2 Introduction The Yijin jing 易筋經 (The Canon for Supple Sinews; also known as the Sinews Transformation Classic) is well-known for its martial training method, currently practiced in a variety of forms particularly in Chinese communities.
