"The Tao of Revitalization, also called Internal Exercises, are divided into three
categories. The first category of Internal Exercises includes those designed to
direct the innate healing power to specific internal organs and glands to energize
the entire body, balance the energy level, and promote a more effective functioning
of the internal organs, in order to heal, adjust, correct, and above all prevent
disease. These exercises are the Five Animal Exercises, Eight Directional
Exercises, Twelve Zodiac Exercises, and Twelve Nerve Exercises. Also included
are the basic exercises known as the Deer Exercise, the Crane Exercise, and the
Turtle Exercise, used for correcting sex related problems, digestive and weight
problems, and nerve-related problems. [See also Taiji Quan, Qigong and to read
about the Taoist roots of Kung Fu]
The second category includes Meridian Meditation, also known as Trip around
the World Meditation or simply Taoist Contemplation. A tremendous healing art,
Meridian Meditation is used to adjust, balance and elevate the energy level in the
body. By meditating on the pathways of energy in the body, anatomically known
as the meridians, a person is able to feel the energy flow along these pathways
and balance the energies within the body. The mind, body and spirit are
completely integrated, and the individual is completely enlivened. (Acupuncture
and acupressure techniques, which originated from Meridian Meditation are used
to help others, whereas Meridian Meditation is used to heal oneself). The third
category of Internal Exercise concerns energy breathing techniques. Through
these techniques, energy can be absorbed through the acupuncture points which
lie atop the meridians which traverse the body. Energy breathing is a vital step in
self healing and in forming an indivisible link with the energy permeating the
universe.
In sum the main purpose of the Internal Exercise is to promote longevity (Dr.
Stephen T. Chang, The Tao of Balanced Diet, Secrets of a Thin & Healthy Body,
pp.23-4)".
