Tai Yin as a form of expression

One of the nicest things that happened to me since I arrived to Bucharest was a 3 days introduction course into Tai Yin. This is partially coming from an aspect of traditional Chinese medicine called Qigong that is involving the coordination of different breathing patterns with various physical postures and motions of the body.

The Tai Yin type that is practiced here was brought from Wudang Temple, Hubei province in China and it is addressed only to women. There is a belief that there are 3 women typologies: the "precious woman" often met into the most Asian countries, the "white woman" that is typical for South Asia and Arab countries and the "mysterious woman" that is found in the African countries. Each of us can identify one of these typologies as a dominant with it's own characteristics. The ultimate purpose is to become the "complete" woman which takes all the qualities from that typologies that are not dominant and allows you to correct some of the short falls that are associated with your dominant. The practiced is performed while listening to 3 types of music associated to each of the typology: Chinese (for 1), Arab/Indian (2) or tribal African music (3).

And everything for spiritual cultivation and mental and physical health...

I'm surprised every time by the power that these practice has on me. At the end of each practice I feel that I need to challenge more the type of woman that I become as a result of all the societal norms and rules. I get more and more comfortable in expressing my emotions as they trully are.
