What is the correct method of qigong breathing?
In fact, there are many ways to practice Qigong, because the nose is not breathing, but breathing in. This is the correct statement. Inhaling through the nose can make people who practice qigong feel peaceful, and it is very important for qigong luck. Of course, there are other ways. Here are some ways to adjust your breath for your reference. \ x0d \ x0d \ The basic method of qigong exercise-pranayama \ x0d \ x0d \ pranayama is to consciously keep breathing or regulate breathing, so as to achieve the purpose of harmonious health preservation. It is an important link and method of practice. As far as its essence is concerned, it is to use ideas to change the rhythm, frequency and depth of breathing, so as to reconcile yin and yang, coordinate viscera and dredge meridians. \ x0d \ x0d \ Importance of pranayama \ x0d \ Preliminary experimental research shows that pranayama can obviously regulate the autonomic nervous system of the body, and the change of breathing can also regulate the tension of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves by affecting the respiratory center, and finally achieve the function of regulating the corresponding internal organs (tissues). The important significance of pranayama lies in that as an important means of pranayama, it can make the heart rest on the rest, make the heart depend on the rest, conform to the spirit, the qi and blood, and reconcile the five senses. In this way, the rise and fall of qi can be normal, and spleen and qi can be strengthened, essence can be preserved and energy can be restored. \ x0d \ x0d \ methods of pranayama \ x0d \ There are many methods of qigong pranayama, which can be summarized as the use of external mouth and nose, the use of respiratory muscles, the coordination of thinking and movement, the coordination of word reading, the adjustment of breathing phase and breathing speed, etc. The application can be selected according to the achievement method and the specific situation of the practitioner. \ x0d \ x0d \ 1, natural breathing \ x0d \ x0d \ Due to different habits of people and physiological differences between men and women, natural breathing can be divided into three forms: chest-type, abdomen-type and chest-abdomen mixed type. Abdominal breathing is more common in adult men; Women breathe more in the chest; Most athletes, actors and singers breathe with their bellies. People who practice qigong for the first time generally breathe naturally. It is on the basis of natural breathing that you are used to, your body relaxes into silence, and then your breathing is adjusted to be soft, smooth and natural. When you start pranayama, you can meditate the word "static" when inhaling and the word "loose" when exhaling to help pranayama enter a static state. \x0d\\x0d\2。 Breathe through your nose \ x0d \ x0d \ breathe through your mouth, breathe through your nose, breathe through your mouth. When practicing martial arts, we often use nasal inhalation or nasal inhalation. Sniffing and breathing are mostly used for static exercises, while sniffing and breathing are mostly used for Tai Chi Qigong and walking exercises. A few practitioners, due to diseases such as nasal diseases and colds, occasionally use their mouths instead of nasal breathing, but their mouths should be slightly opened. In addition, oral inhalation and nasal inhalation should not be advocated. \x0d\\x0d\3。 Breathe loudly \ x0d \ x0d \ Breathe loudly through your nose, or inhale hard through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Every breath is required to be as long as possible, and the breathing sound is also required to achieve "sound in and sound out". This method has a certain therapeutic effect on strengthening the body, mobilizing internal qi and treating some chronic diseases. When learning to practice this method, the voice should be small and loud, and pay attention to exercising in the open air. \x0d\\x0d\4。 Practice Breathing and Breathing \ x0d \ x0d \ The ancients said that "the person who enters the air is yin, and the person who exhales is yang", so "the person who is yang can't breathe, and the person who is yin can't breathe". Explain that you should pay attention to the syndrome differentiation of yin and yang when practicing breathing or inhaling. Generally speaking, practicing breathing is more suitable for patients with hypertension, emphysema, glaucoma, headache, head swelling and abdominal distension; Practicing breathing is more suitable for some patients with poor gastrointestinal function and yang deficiency and fear of cold. To practice breathing, you can use methods such as prolonging exhalation, breathing-stopping-inhaling, breathing back words, etc. to strengthen exhalation and prolong exhalation phase. When practicing inhalation, you can use methods such as prolonging inhalation, inhaling-stopping-breathing, and pronouncing after inhaling to highlight inhalation. \x0d\5。 Abdominal breathing \ x0d \ x0d \ This is the most commonly used breathing method in Qigong pranayama. It is beneficial to the accumulation, storage and mobilization of internal qi. Abdominal breathing is generally divided into natural abdominal breathing and deep long abdominal breathing, and the latter is the transition of the former. Deep and long abdominal breathing can be divided into cis and reverse. When inhaling, the abdominal muscles relax, and with the contraction of the diaphragm, the anterior abdominal wall gradually bulges; When exhaling, the abdominal muscles contract, the abdominal wall retracts or sinks slightly, and the diaphragm also rises to the original level. This is abdominal breathing (physiologically called isovolumic breathing). Reverse abdominal breathing (also known as variable volume breathing) is the opposite. When inhaling, the abdominal muscles contract and the abdominal wall retracts in a concave shape. In addition, the diaphragm contracts down to the abdominal cavity, which makes the abdominal cavity volume smaller, while when exhaling, the abdominal muscles relax, the abdomen bulges and the diaphragm rises, which makes the abdominal cavity volume larger. Therefore, reverse abdominal breathing has a great influence on the pressure of abdominal organs, which is of great help to promote qi and blood circulation, enhance yang and improve gastrointestinal function, and is suitable for patients with visceral ptosis and gastrointestinal dysfunction. However, it should be used with caution or prohibited for elderly patients with weak constitution, patients with hypertension, patients with various heart diseases and pregnant women. In addition, reverse abdominal breathing is difficult, and beginners should not apply it immediately.
