Yangsheng.
Yangsheng (養生) — to nourish life. The broader context in which Daoyin sits: how a person lives across days, seasons, and decades.
Domains
- Sleep — timing, environment, and pre-sleep routines.
- Recovery — rhythms of effort and rest, on the scale of hours and weeks.
- Seasonal adaptation — adjusting diet, activity, and dress to match the time of year.
- Emotional regulation — recognizing and releasing chronic emotional postures.
- Longevity — practices oriented to decades, not weeks.
Why it belongs here
A formal practice cannot offset a disordered life around it. Yangsheng places Daoyin inside the daily and seasonal patterns that decide whether any practice has somewhere to land.
