Yang Sheng - Nourish Life

Sabine and Yaron will consider the larger implications of medical practice in the framework of yangsheng (“nurturing life”), as it was promoted by Sun Simiao, the 7th century hermit, Daoist sage, and specialist in the arts of longevity. We will introduce the various aspects of nurturing life as Sun Simiao described them in his writings (dietetics, living environment, mind cultivation, sexual cultivation, breathing and other qi exercises,...) and then explore their potential as practical options for both practitioners and patients in our modern world.
