Do-In is an ancient traditional exercise for the cultivation of physical health, mental serenity, and spirituality. Over the last 5,000 years, it has served as the origin of such well-known modalities as shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, yogic exercises, and meditation.
Do-In techniques are a series of successive motions designed to harmonize body systems. The Do-In Way details the fundamental aspects of the exercise, which involves breathing, posture, and self-massage and manipulation to stimulate bodily systems. The gentle application of pressure on the body's meridians corresponds directly with physical processes, and allows for the conditioning and stimulation of internal organs. Do-In is a simple, gentle exercise for achieving oneness between the self and the external world, and for integrating that harmony into physical and spiritual nature. Price: $14.35
