The article “Tortoise-Pigeon-Dog”<\/i>, from the May 15, 1933 issue of Time<\/i><\/a> reported on his history and included Li Ching-Yuen’s answer to his secret of a long life:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tranquil mind Sit like a tortoise<\/i> Walk sprightly like a pigeon<\/i> Sleep like a dog<\/i><\/p>\n

From http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Li_Ching-Yuen<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSit like a tortoise\u201d<\/b> refers to the ability to sit still, free from concern, breathing slowly and calmly. This skill is achieved by practicing meditation. Meditation is not really passive, though it may appear to be. It is the art of achieving stillness \u2013 an art that allows us to rejuvenate both our body and mind every day. It also refers to the ability to concentrate and remain alert for long periods of time while sitting still \u2013 not an easy task for Americans, but definitely possible with some practice. Sitting still while breathing slowly has been proven to reduce high blood pressure, a huge problem in America. High blood pressure can be modulated in many individuals by simultaneously breathing deeply and slowly while calming the mind. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWalk like a pigeon\u201d<\/b> refers to the ability to walk briskly, at any age. To the Taoists, walking \u201clike the wind\u201d is both a source and sign of vigor and youthfulness. Speed walking has been widely practiced in China for thousands of years as a form of superior exercise. Walking quickly and lightly for a distance of a couple of miles a day is considered to be superb exercise that promotes health and longevity. A pigeon appears to move all its muscles in the process of walking. Its head moves in rhythm with its feet and arms (wings). When we speed walk, we should take care to relax and move all our muscles in a gentle rhythm that promotes circulation throughout the body (tense shoulders and neck are thus a no-no). It would be a good idea to stretch and or do some yoga or qi gung before taking our daily speed walk. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSleep like a dog\u201d<\/b> refers to the ability to sleep deeply anytime, and to be able to awaken quickly with a clear head. Dogs, as we all know, sleep through the night as humans do, but they can be awakened easily and respond quickly. When a dog sleeps, they breathe deeply from their abdomen. Observe a dog and you will see that their hind legs are moving up and down. This is because they are breathing deeply, using their deep abdominal muscles. This is indeed a secret of longevity. Deep sleep combined with deep breathing rejuvenates the body every day, eliminates waste and restores vitality to all the cells of the body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
