ChiefMethod / the practice
The tradition
Taoist practice placed the lower abdomen at the centre of the body and of breath.
What we can say today
Drawing the stomach in trains the deep stomach muscle.
My interpretation
Take the practice seriously and the theory lightly.
A note from Stephenischief
Taoist tradition treated the lower abdomen as the body’s centre for some 2,500 years. This is my interpretation: the five steps, three positions, and your first seven days.
Inside the guide
Five steps. Three positions. Seven days.
Who it is for
Anyone who trains and wants control of the deep stomach wall and the breath. No equipment.
Who should speak to their GP first
If you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, a heart condition, a hernia, a stomach ulcer or recent abdominal surgery, speak to your GP first.
