Body, Mind and Spirit -- ALL DIMENSION STUDY for GOOD HEALTH
          People live in a world of pressure and stress today. Various kinds of sickness such as neurosis bring with a decrease of immunity in our body.

          And whenever our body, mind and spirit were under attack by pressure and stress for a long time, we are exhausted. This is so called energy crisis in our body, making us unbalanced. We therefore have to struggle for survival.

Breathe Exercise -- INCREASE ENERGY WITHIN YOUR BODY
          A kind of "nature study" in medical field has been promoted these years. People concern greatly with medical care by way of natural cure. They put much on a balance life for heath concern. It is believed that people have self-instinct to cure their own disease --so-called immunity. To prevent from sickness rather than cure such disease become a favorite subject today.

          According to Chinese study, breathe exercise may induce Chih (氣) within our body. Chih will lead human body to create or generate energy. One has Chih to circulate in the body and blood circulation turn out smooth and healthy.
If one has constant exercise on Chih and its circulation, he will continue on increase of immunity in the body.

S-shape of TunHuang Dance -- THE WAY OF GENERATING CHIH
          A particular brain wave experiment has been conducted by Professor Li (李嗣涔) of Taiwan University along with several doctors from Hsin Kuang Hospital a few months ago. The result of the experiment shows that when TunHuang breathe exercise has been experienced brain wave getting into "tranquility". Professor Li explained that when ones brain wave getting into
"Vibration", he is in primary step of this exercise. But when he is in "tranquility", he is on top of practice.

         It is delightful to know that TunHuang Breathe Dance has certain effect on human body especially brain wave. We pay special thanks to Professor Li and his team for this scientific experiment. It gives us great confidence on the practice of TunHuang Dance.

         Initiated from TunHuang cave paintings, TunHuang Revival Dance has her major gesture on S-shape of figures. S-shape, according to TunHuang historical records, symbolizes the flow of Chih or breath. S-shape also resembles Yin and Yang (female and male) in ancient history. The type of practice TunHuang Revival Dance is proved as actually a breath dance.
