Exploring advanced meanings of the pure Yang Mudra
Description

Abstract
One of the essential practices of Qigong is mudra. Mudra is a specific ritual in ancient shamanism, and is still very much alive as specific techniques of cultivation and healing/self-healing in the Mr. EMei Sage style of Qigong (EMei Zhengong) tradition. Mudras, representing ancient symbols, have the power to carry and transmit ancient knowledge directly to us on an experiential level. The Pure Yang Mudra has a deep connection to one of the oldest records of ancient Chinese civilization, the Book of Change (a.k.a. Yijing or I Ching). Since the Book of Change is considered to be the root of classical Chinese knowledge, science, and civilization, it can be used to gain great insight into the foundation of Qigong theory.
