Daoist Body-Space

In this clip, Solala Towler makes a clear distinction between Daoist cultivation and many other "new-age" cultivation practices that might commonly fall under the category of "self-help" or pop psychology." Daoism's insistence on the body as the central field of spiritual experience radically challenges the modern Western emphasis on the mind, rational knowledge and information technology. Perhaps this is one reason for the increasing popularity of Qigong in the modern West.

In the next clip Roger Jahnke describes the physical sensations associated with Qigong.
