    TAO OF REVITALIZATION: EXERCISES FOR SELF-HEALING

    We spend our lives fulfilling two basic physical needs to maintain, nourish, revitalize, and prolong our lives: 1. Consumption (eating, drinking. etc.) 2. Motion a. Mind movement (thinking) b. Body movement (breathing and other functions of the internal organs and external limbs) c. Sex Life will cease if either of the two basic conditions is not fully or properly satisfied. Without consumption of nutrients, life is expected to cease within ten days. Without proper consumption of nutrients, life will shorten. Without motion, the body will atrophy. Without proper motion, the body will weaken. The effects of inactivity are immediately obvious, unlike those of starvation. When breathing (made possible by diaphragm contraction and expansion) ceases, death results within minutes. If the heart stops beating, death results within seconds. Any variation in the motions of other organs, as in intestinal peristalsis, will also lead to complications. It was with these considerations in mind that the ancient Taoists created the Tao of Revitalization, the philosophy and method of thinking, breathing, and moving.
