Turtles that live to be hundreds of years old have been plodding around on this earth for millions of years. It is believed that a person may gain longevity by moving slowly and mindfully through life without over attachment to forms and desires.
The slow graceful movements of Turtle Longevity Form and other balancing exercises are called movement meditation. They blend soft, gentle movements of the body with a calm and contemplative state of mind.
Crane and Turtle cultivation as well as Dynamic Crane Techniques charge up the system with a lot of yang Qi. For these energies to benefit our physiology and spirit we need to balance and refine them. We have generated a lot of heat and stimulated the brain, now it is time to cool the head, circulate the Qi and store the excess in lower dantian.
Balancing techniques help to harmonize yin and yang energies within the body and integrate the external universal energies of magnetic and electrostatic with the heat of internal Qi .
The integration of new internal Qi seeks a balance with the external universal Qi. This is the benefit of Turtle Longevity Form.
