\u00a0<\/strong>My first visit to the Ovation Seven-Cultivation Academy and Hotel was last December.\u00a0 During my Xmas-New Year vacation in China I was invited by the president of Seven-Cultivation Academy to do a presentation on \u201cStress Management with Breathing-Based Mindfulness Training,\u201d and to discuss the possibility to collaborate with them on health and wellness subjects.\u00a0 I had never heard about this academy previously, and the address they gave me is the Ovation Seven-Cultivation Hotel, a five-star hotel located in Langfang, Hebei, between Beijing and Tianjin city.\u00a0 I was a little confused about where I was heading for the academic exchange.<\/p>\n

The entire process of invitation and discussing itinerary of my visit was very professional, and in details. As soon as I walked out of the limousine that picked me up, I could feel the strong Chinese-culture and relaxing atmosphere. After a short introduction by the hostess, I understand that Ovation Seven-Cultivation Hotel and Seven-Cultivation Academy are located in the same complex with separate operations, while the entire hotel and related buildings are decorated with the theme of Seven Cultivation Rituals.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on the traditional Chinese health preservation (Yang-sheng<\/a>) principles and support of the modem life science system, the Seven Cultivation Hotel provides the guest with a different kind of place to stay, live and enjoy life. \u00a0 The hotel and the affiliated academy help its guests reinvigorate energy, regulate qi (flow of vital energy), attain mental tranquility, as well as repair and improve the body\u2019s self-healing ability by conducting seven kinds of cultivation rituals, namely virtue, diet, Kong, calligraphy, incense, music and flower. By cleverly integrating its health preservation (Yang-sheng<\/a>) products featured by seven cultivation rituals with its accommodation, restaurants, conference rooms, fitness center, leisure and other facilities, the hotel establishes a brand new hotel service system characterized by Chinese Yang-Sheng<\/a> culture, especially health enhancement by the seven cultivation ritual. \u00a0It aims to demonstrate the essence of Chinese health preservation or yang-sheng<\/a> culture in an all-around way and convey the wisdom of Chinese lifestyle.<\/p>\n

What Are the Seven Cultivation Rituals? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The tradition of Seven Cultivation rituals dates back to the era of Fuxi and Huangdi (two legendary Chinese rulers more than 3000 years ago) and has been passed on through the Han and Tang Dynasty and many generations later! The seven categories of the rituals, namely virtue, diet, kungfu, calligraphy, incense, music, and flower, are very beneficial to cultivating the mind, appeasing the body and prolonging the life. The foundation of the one\u2019s life lies in yin and yang, the two opposing principles in nature. Aggregating, regulating, guiding and running the energy flow in one\u2019s body is crucial component in the Seven Cultivation rituals.<\/p>\n
