Testimonial:
From the very first time of performing Master Owen Liao’s 12 Movements (Tai Chi Dao Yin Qigong), I found them rewarding. The movements were easily learned and took only a few minutes to do. The “quitting” exercise involving finger massage of the outer ear and lobe is especially wonderful for me, invariably causing the sensation of energy movement (tingling) throughout the body, from soles to crown. The other exercises vary (for me) in the intensity of energy movement, but sometimes it can be very strong, especially during the Conserving Qi exercise (11).
As I have practiced the exercises once or twice a day for the past three weeks, the feeling of “internal massage” has slowly increased. This can be quite powerful – almost as if another person were giving a me massage! Thus, the 12 movements can create the most intense feelings of relief and relaxation.
