(1) Relaxation and quietness complement each other and conform to nature. There is a close relationship between relaxation and quietness. Full body relaxation can promote quietness, and it will inevitably show full body relaxation after quietness, so the two are complementary. The so-called relaxation, on the one hand, is the relaxation of the whole body muscles, and this kind of relaxation must master the state of relaxation and perseverance. Lying flat is easier to relax the whole body, but after posing, shake the whole body slightly to achieve the comfort of lying flat. The maintenance of standing posture and sitting posture requires a certain degree of muscle tension, but it also requires maximum relaxation. Another aspect of relaxation is the relaxation of consciousness. First of all, relax the muscles of the whole body and let the whole body feel comfortable and relaxed. In addition, it is necessary to eliminate tension and achieve mental relaxation. The so-called silence means that, relatively speaking, you can breathe in and out of silence and feel carefree. In terms of consciousness, you emphasize that you can enter peace by keeping consciousness and eliminating distractions. In a word, relaxation is the key to practice. If you master it well, you will get good results soon. If you don't master it properly, you will often make mistakes.
(2) practice your mind and spirit.
Qigong's "Qi" mainly refers to the true qi (vitality). When you start practicing Qi, you must start from practicing lung qi (breathing qi). The exercise of lung qi adopts different breathing methods because of different methods. Even so, no matter what techniques, most of them require breathing: long, even, thin, long and slow. A well-trained person breathes two or three times a minute, forming a slow abdominal breathing. The practice of breathing qi must be practiced from shallow to deep, from fast to slow, step by step, and it is not required to form a complete deep breath in a short time. When practicing for the first time, you must be induced by your mind. When you practice to a certain extent, you can breathe naturally. The so-called practice: first, eliminate distractions and achieve silence; Second, stay in the abdomen and let the whole body undergo more profound changes. It is difficult for beginners to get rid of distractions quickly. It takes a certain period of practice to gradually reduce distractions and achieve the requirement of quietness.
How to combine the intention and spirit of practice in the process of practice? When you start practicing breathing, you should also keep breathing consciously to help you practice breathing as soon as possible. Maintain depth and length. After the formation of uniform breathing, pay attention to the ups and downs of the abdomen with breathing. When breathing exercises are very skilled, even if you don't pay attention to breathing, you can naturally reach your abdomen. At this time, you can simply stay in the abdomen. In this way, the two can be closely combined to achieve the unity of God and God, so that the true qi is abundant and the purpose of treating diseases and keeping fit can be achieved.
(3) Emotional balance and good mood.
In qigong therapy, we must emphasize emotional balance and happy mood, so as to promote health, eliminate diseases, and feel comfortable and happy after each work.
(4) Step by step, don't rush for success.
In the initial practice, you can't rush for success, you need the drug effect, and the effect is gradually revealed with the process of practice time. Although the training method is not very complicated, it needs to be mastered and practiced for a certain period of time. Take internal training as an example, you can master posture first and exercise deep breathing. When you are proficient in deep breathing, you can add stop and close. After you stop and close your breath skillfully, you can add silent words, and then you can add your tongue to the palate. These movements are skilled, you can master them step by step, and they are often smooth.
(5) Training and training should be combined closely.
The so-called combination of training and training means paying equal attention to training and reasonable rest. Only practicing without paying attention to reasonable rest will be an obstacle to overcoming the disease, so training and rest must be closely combined. Reasonable rest should include: paying attention to proper rest, regular life, optimistic mood, moderate diet and moderate physical activity. These contents should be paid attention to in the whole practice process and even in the whole life, often to overcome diseases and obtain health protection. Every exercise should carry out the requirement of paying equal attention to training and training. For example, when practicing internal strength or strengthening exercises, after practicing for half an hour, you can give up breathing and abdominal stay, simply relax and rest on your back 10 ~ 20 minutes. You can continue to practice after raising it, and the effect is also very good.
