On Monday, the 14th of March 2011, a series of workshops on Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Confucius Institute at the University of Vienna was opened. The first workshop was about “Yangsheng – keep an eye on yourself, treat the source not only the symptoms”.
The lecturers, both Dr. Rakus and Dr. Li-Reisek are doctors for human medicine and successfully graduated in various trainings on TCM.
Since in China preventative health care was always present and important they presented the TCM classic “Huang Di Nei Jing”, which was already written in 475 – 221 BC and contains information and methods about health care. They conveyed basic skills of TCM such as the Five Elements, the Viscera clock, Yin and Yang and Feng Shui.
Yang Sheng should be applied to our own lives in terms of the seasons, the daily routine, emotions, nutrition and exercise.
The doctors commented that it is very important to live in harmony with the nature, the seasons and the daily routine. They mentioned several tips, such as one should only eat vegetables that would grow in the own garden in that season, or to wake up early, have a rich breakfast and lunchbreaks in order to follow the daily routine.
The quote „One should cook for oneself and treat oneself in the way as he were a guest in his own body“, shows that you have to keep an eye on yourself in order to maintain a healthy life.
Towards the end of the event the participants tried out various Qigong exercises to recapitulate and to experience themselves as a column between heaven and earth.
In the end the enthusiastic guests were welcomed to ask questions.
The Confucius Institute at the University of Vienna will organize in the coming three months other four courses on traditional Chinese medicine. The topics are: "nutrition - cooking and herbal medical knowledge", " Self-massage and doing exercise, "" moxibustion therapy", "Guosha-therapy"
