"Dayan (Wild Goose) Qigong is an ancient Chinese movement form that was first developed by the Taoist Monk, Dao An, about 1700 years ago. Dayan means "wild goose" and Qigong means "mastery of chi." The graceful and fluid movements of the form imitate the wild goosea bird venerated in China for its long life, great strength, ability to travel long distances, and loyalty to its mate. The wild goose represents the Five Constant Virtues of ancient Chinese thought: Ren, ethics and perfect virtue free from selfishness; Yi, right conduct, loyalty and faithfulness; Li, respect, reverence and good manners; Zhi, wisdom, knowledge, cleverness and prudence; and Xin, truth and sincerity.
Dayan Qigong promotes the circulation of blood and "qi" (or vital life energy) thereby increasing the body's metabolism and self-regulatory and self-healing systems. The movements also stimulate the brain and improve memory. The form is designed to gradually increase the flow of qi in the body, and develop "qi fields" called dantiens where the qi energy is stored. Dayan Qigong students have experienced improvements in energy, physical health and emotional well-being."
