What does it mean to absorb the essence of heaven and earth?
In fact, this kind of gas collection is also a kind of qigong. There is nothing special about the general gas gathering method. Speaking is basically a visual way to integrate yourself with the world. In the process of collection, visualization brings the essence of heaven and earth into the body from the zenith Baihui point, then circulates along the main points of the body, and finally enters the abdomen, which is transformed into the strength of the whole body. However, it is very important to know the positions of various acupoints in the body skillfully in order to visualize this general gas collection method. Otherwise, it is easy to become popular. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, I think it is mainly to exercise acupoints. If you really study hard and practice according to the relevant precautions, you can make the blood flow smooth, relax the meridians and activate the collaterals, and play a role in prolonging life. But this kind of static work requires people's thoughts to be concentrated. Therefore, it is not convenient to exercise. Nowadays, the popular Qigong is generally exercised.
