This system is based on traditional Taoist qigong, which incorporates daoyin 导引  (energy conduction) and nei gong 内功 (energy circulation).

All types of qigong aim to establish an harmonious, steady and smooth energy flow. This enhances vital energy allowing it to circulate and be accumulated. By achieving this condition, one maintains physical health, increases longevity and vitality.

This practice restores one’s human energy pool by harnessing natural forces,  as well as the power generated between the heavens and the earth, hence avoiding chronic fatigue, anxiety and nervousness, which leads to stress and depression.

It is important for practitioners to understand  the difference between taiji hunyuan yangshenggong and taijiquan.

Taiji hunyuan yangshenggong is a form of qigong. It is a fundamental part of jibengong (基本功), or the foundation common to all styles of taijiquan.

As taiji hunyuan yangshenggong stresses energy concentration and circulation, it is more advanced than the Weidan style. Weidan is considered more external and rudimentary.
Taiji hunyuan gong adheres to the same basic principles of all taiji, by focusing on  a higher level of mental concentration, applying  intention or yi(意). Yi encompasses focusing  on breathing, physical movement and mental clarity. Additionally attention is paid to “rooting”, the sensation of one’s body weight on the feet and the feet on the earth as well as various sensations  the body experiences by conducting the energy (daoyin).

Qigong energy flows like a magnificent and powerful waterfall.
