The Dao of Longevity - Growing Old Gracefully

The Dao of Longevity

Daoist texts are full of stories of the old who are still young, still agile, still flexible, their hearts and minds filled with the brightness of the child. They talk of the quest for longevity, the retaining of youth into old age and even the quest for immortality itself as though all these were possible. Are these mere stories - or a reality? This lecture will present sources from the Chinese philosophical and medical texts to study the Dao of Longevity, the cycles of life, the different ageing processes in men and women, the factors in modern life that increase or decrease ageing and present cases and acupuncture points to consider in the treatment of the elderly. We will study the concepts of Yang Sheng, Nourishing Life, maintaining one's innate nature and vitality with methods to preserve health and avoid ageing.
