About practicians, how it is correct to carry out exercises in what result Taoist practice can result, it will be a question in this review.
History Taoist practician
Taoism — the Chinese traditional doctrine with elements of religion and philosophy. Distinguish Taoism as a world outlook system and also as set of spirituality. In this article the speech attention will be paid to the second part of the theory though it is worth understanding that this division of Taoism into parts is conditional, and spirituality has to be combined with a certain philosophical outlook harmoniously.

Whether you know? The Taoism is the only widely known religious doctrine in which concepts of Paradise and Hell are not used.
Mentions of the most famous Taoist master — the emperor Juan-di — are dated 2600. The legend says that he lived 300 years.

It is necessary to notice that Taoist masters never spoke about the age as they do not consider that the figure which designates the number of the years lived on Earth something means. They measure age by quantity of dykhaniye and blows of heart. Human life comes to an end when these quantities of dykhaniye and serdtsebiyeniye allocated for any given person come to an end. On it to the reason of the master and adherents of this outlook try not to hurry anywhere and advise to do everything at slow rate.
It is worth paying attention to one adherent of the considered philosophical and religious system, the gerbalist by the name of Li Jing-yuen. Throughout all the long life (too lived about 300 years) it continued to conduct active sexual life, remained with the forces and was quite healthy. The master died in 1933. In spite of the fact that Li Jing-yuen did not give the age, year of its birth in China consider the 1677th.
