Second, choose the version that suits you. At present, the most popular version is the Bank of China version. There are also popular editions such as Shaolin Edition and Wudang Edition, for example, Yamato's ancient method Ba Duan Brocade, which I have practiced and the effect is excellent. Every version handed down is good, and the key is whether there is a "mental method" to cooperate with it. At present, it seems that only the teaching video and mental method of Ba Duanjin, the master of Dahe ancient law, are circulating on the Internet.
Third, study meridians, there are some main acupoints. Baduanjin is pulling meridians. Knowing the direction of meridians and special acupoints will get twice the result with half the effort!
Fourth, cooperate with breathing. With breathing, the coordination of acupoints is the guidance. This is a very high level.
What I learned and practiced was "eight pieces of brocade, great rivers and wonderful hands". This version focuses on conditioning 12 meridians and eight odd meridians. Let me talk about how to learn this version of Baduanjin.
In the preparatory ceremony, we should pay attention to joy, touch the palate with our tongue, the heaven gate is always open and the landlord is always closed. From the initial exultation to the rise of Yang. The tongue reaches the palate, and the local residents are normally closed, which belongs to the bridge of taking magpies and connecting the two veins of Ren and Du.
The first type holds the triple energizer with both hands and regulates the triple energizer. What you are concerned about is the triple energizer meridian and Guanchong point. During the day, put your arms on your ears, and the ring finger (Guanchong point) will turn your palm backwards, thus pulling the entire triple energizer meridian. It's triple focus, not triple focus.
Second, the left and right bows are like carving, regulating the lung meridian and the large intestine meridian, and regulating the Shang Yang point and Shaoshang point. This recipe mainly regulates lung meridian and large intestine meridian. After opening the bow, both hands have a conversion action, that is, from the five-finger palm to the eight-character palm, and when the palm is converted, the arm is twisted, thus achieving the purpose of stretching the lung meridian and the large intestine meridian. When converting into a splayed palm, the index finger should be straight, the thumb should be round, and the tiger's mouth should be open. The eyes should look at the tip of the index finger. At this time, the mind should be at the tip of the back elbow, and there is a dark energy pulling the bow.
Third, regulating the spleen and stomach requires single lifting, and attention should be paid to the stomach meridian and spleen meridian, as well as the point in Bai Yin. Straighten your feet, open the stomach meridian with your toes, and open the spleen meridian with a twist of your heel. The raised arm should be straight and the shoulder on the same side should sink, so as to pull the limit spring point and the big bag point on the same side.
Fourth, looking back from five strains and seven injuries, we should pay attention to the heart meridian, small intestine meridian and Dazhui point. Put your arms at your sides, press down, spread your fingers and straighten your little finger, and stretch the heart meridian and small intestine meridian. Stimulate Dazhui when you look back. The big toe is upturned to open the tendon; Look up and down the eyes and pull the tendons.
Fifth, shake your head and tail to get rid of heart fire, and pull the bladder meridian and major acupoints. When twisting the spine, you should buckle your shoulders and pull the bladder meridian on your back. All the major Shu points are on the bladder meridian. Pull the diaphragm point forward with your arm. Keep your head still.
The sixth type, pay attention to the kidney meridian, Shenhai, Taixi Kunlun point, and Zongjin. When climbing the foot, hold the Kunlun point of Taixi point and shake the spine with the force of the sole of the foot, which can stimulate the kidney meridian and spine (ren mai du mai chong mai, Shen hai).
Seventh, you should pay attention to the points of gallbladder, liver and Zhangmen. Boxing is to pull the gallbladder and liver meridians with the friction of the sole of the foot. Liver and gallbladder belong to wood and spring, which produces vitality. Need to sink your shoulders and hang your perineum.
Eighth, we should pay attention to the marrow sea behind the seven bumps and all diseases disappear. This type is medullary sea. It's seven bumps. Too many bumps do harm to your health.
