What does it feel like to sink into the abdomen? How can I sink into the abdomen and ask the great god for help?
"What does it feel like to sink into the abdomen?" I think the simplest way to say it is "don't hold your breath, don't hold your breath, persevere." To achieve this state, we must first have an attitude: that is, in a relaxed state of mind, we should feel with our heart and keep feeling. What Ye Mingyu described as "always carrying it, reluctant to let it go" is actually holding your breath and hanging your breath. The main reason for holding your breath is: nervousness. It is common for people to "hold their breath" when they are nervous. Because people are easily resisted when they are nervous and can't breathe normally. Holding your breath is "holding your breath". This is a physiological phenomenon caused by human psychological reasons. As the saying goes, "I'm too nervous to go out" is a concrete description of people's nervous state. On the contrary, when people need to relax, they will adjust by breathing. For example: the doctor's prompt during the injection, exhale … inhale … take a deep breath. At this time, the mind and muscles will relax. Therefore, "mental tension" is a factor that directly affects "breathing", which is a magic weapon to adjust mental tension and an important channel to achieve physical relaxation. Then, the concept of "hanging gas" is that gas hangs in the chest. The concept of "slack gas" means that gas has no "core" and no "ground". "Nuclear" is the center and dominant consciousness of Qi, and "Earth" is the "abdomen". In other words, there is no concentrated gas core to put it in the "abdomen" position of the body. In fact, "hold your breath" and "hold your breath" are brothers, and the relationship between them is very close, and its phenomenon must be both. And "slack gas" generally appears in two aspects. First, when you are very nervous, you will "relax" at the thought of relaxation, which is the result of "trying to relax but not relaxing but implementing the so-called relaxation". Because I can't "breathe" and don't know how to relax, I have no "core" of qi and I don't store it in the "abdomen". Secondly, if you are lazy, don't devote yourself seriously and don't work hard at all, then "slacking off" is natural. From this, we can draw another truth, that is, "slackness" has a lot to do with people's mood and attitude, and it is a spiritual factor. From this point of view, there are two reasons for "slacking off": first, the phenomenon of "slacking off" caused by not daring to exert oneself; First, the body is "slack" caused by mental slack. Of course, there are also many "slacks" in dancing. Many people misunderstand "breathing" as a linear movement of "up and down", that is, "breathing is relaxation, while breathing is lifting and holding your breath". In addition, once it is serious, it is more likely to produce a state of "always carrying, reluctant to let go". In addition, I may pay too much attention to breath and lose the overall sense of space. Take standing posture as an example. The space between chin, ears and shoulders, as well as legs, are all forms of "standing" in the sense of the overall space of the body. When you pay attention to breathing, does your body still feel this way? So, "What does it feel like to sink into your stomach?" I thought it was to give gas a place to become a home and a door to be locked. The so-called "land" is "Tian Dan"; The so-called "home" is performance; The so-called "door" is the entry and exit of air and pneumatic. The so-called "lock" means that the abdomen is closed, squeezed and solid no matter whether it is pneumatically driven out or back. In other words, in all the processes of Qi movement, the consciousness and strength of the body "Tian Dan" always exist and have not lost its function. So, how can we "pull people up while sinking"? Then a correct breathing state is a three-dimensional movement, a "yin and yang" body consciousness and movement consciousness. Simply put, the relationship between "breathing" and the body is the way of yin and yang. When inhaling, let the air enter the body and radiate to the whole body along the body, just like the transportation hub of the body is all over the place, but the real feeling of the body is far away at this time. This "far" means that the amount of physical exercise has expanded and opened. When exhaling, the qi moves far to the three-dimensional state outside the body, but all parts of the body are not consciously escaped, but are quietly pulled away, one end is near and the other is far. Of course, the special position, significance and function of "Dantian" must be in its "Tao". Whether it is "breathing" or "sucking", there is a powerful "gas source core"-Dantian is supporting it, making breathing and sucking go back and forth and keep circulating. It is not only the energy warehouse of gas, but also the headquarters, from which all airflow is transported and transformed. In this way, the "breathing state" not only causes the "Yin-Yang" relationship between body and qi, but also causes three-dimensional movement, that is, the overall coordination and energy of Yin-Yang "Qi-Body-Movement". The feeling it brings to the body is deep, transparent, fluffy and vigorous. It is both relaxed and powerful. Of course, "Qi" does not exist independently in sports, but is combined with "time, space and force". Their relationship is the close existence of "you have me and I have you" and the overall consciousness of "body-action-movement". For example, the existence of physical "force" in sports. Or take the form of "station", which looks like a static appearance, but its internal force is constant and consistent. That is, the head hangs up, the eyebrows are stretched, the eyes are soft, the ears are erect, and the spine is pulled up and down; Tighten the abdomen with ribs, spread the shoulders to their respective sides, relax the shoulder socket, and hang your hands with a slight sense of weight; Hip and hip root are pulled apart, pressed, arched, feet flat, toes straight. This series of feelings should exist, the internal force of the body always runs under the guidance of consciousness, and in the smooth breath, people will naturally soar. This is called using "spirit" and "strength" to guide the movement of the body, so as to achieve the maximum development and utilization of innate respiratory function and constitute the energy of "qi" In this way, Ye Mingyu's "I won't sink and pull people up at the same time". The state and confusion lie in not getting the principle and method of body-action-movement. Explain the consciousness and concept of "Yin and Yang" again. Simply put, when an action sinks, there must be something opposite to balance and interact with it, which is "Yin and Yang". And people's consciousness is often used to paying attention to the positive side and forgetting the negative side. Because masculine gender is an obvious and definite position in things, it is easy to attract people's attention, while feminine gender is hidden, internal cause and backing, which requires people to deeply understand and appreciate things. In other words, only by perceiving the negative can we have a profound understanding of things, and only by acquiring the "yin" can the "yang" become more prominent and powerful. Let us take "standing" as an example. When we emphasize the physical feeling of "standing", the "breathing" and the "spatial consciousness" of standing at this time are both negative; When we put "breathing" on a positive level to understand and use, the body's spatial consciousness becomes negative. However, due to the dancer's long-term lack of the concept of "Yin and Yang", imitating with the thinking of "form to form" and taking physical inertia as a habit, the phenomenon of "bear breaking the stick" naturally appears: paying attention to breath loses body perception, paying attention to body perception, and breath is gone ... In fact, for beginners, this phenomenon is normal because "I can't control it". Then, as long as you can consciously adjust the training under the teacher's reminder. However, putting "consciousness" into the body is an ability that takes time to acquire. It also takes time to get it, just like body techniques such as "turning over" and "controlling legs". Therefore, Ye Mingyu said, "I felt at that time, but I couldn't catch it." It is a normal process for a beginner like her. As long as you continue to know, feel, remember and consolidate a correct feeling in the future practice, it will "grow" on you after a period of time. Try to cultivate consciousness by changing ideas, from "paying attention to the form of action" to "paying attention to the inner breathing and the feeling of body movement", giving the initiative of body movement to "breathing" and letting "breathing" dominate the whole body movement, that is, breathing comes first and body comes last. Only in this kind of consciousness can "breath-body-action" be combined into one, otherwise it will be two skins. For another example, when people say "stand still", many people "hold their chests out" without realizing that they are holding their breath in their chests. It has become a typical "chest", and the human body is bound to be stiff. "Stand well" and "stand upright" depend on consciousness to adjust all parts of people and coordinate with each other to achieve "stand straight, stand open and stand comfortably". Just standing up straight does not mean "standing well", but on the basis of smooth breathing, letting the spine pull up and down, that is, exercise, will naturally present the physical appearance and visual effect of "holding your chest out". It can also be seen that such objective existence and methods are actually the result of "yin and yang" quality. The former is "yang against yang" and the latter is "building yin to show yang". Similarly, this "inside-out" learning concept and method will be more in line with the laws of the human body and the scientific view of things.
