WTY-17: Yangsheng and Individuality
11 May 2018
As everyone is different to varying degrees in terms of physical (or physiological) and psychological constitutions, the best way to yangsheng naturally varies with different individuals. Such being the case, it is your own, rather than anyone else's job to find your best way, if any at all, to develop and maintain your best possible wellness. In practice, you have to, in other words, try to find for yourself whatever methods (or combination of methods, exercises, recipes and therapies) that most suits your unique situation.
Certain methods, exercises, recipes or therapies may work well with others, but not you or the other way around. To find the 'best' way for yourself is often not only a matter of trial and error, but also a matter of luck.
