The correct way of six-character formula is to influence the movement of qi and blood in different viscera and meridians through different pronunciation mouths, lips, teeth and mouthparts. When practicing, you should meet the following requirements:
Preparatory style: feet open, shoulder width apart, head straight and neck straight, chest out, waist loose and hips loose, knees slightly bent, body relaxed and breathing naturally.
Breathing method: breathe along the abdomen, breathe first and then inhale, pronounce words when calling, lift the anus and shrink the kidney at the same time, and shift the center of gravity to the heel.
Pranayama: After reading each word six times, pranayama once, take a rest and return to nature.
Experience and key points of practicing six-character decision-making
Meaning is qi (breathing), meaning is shape.
The six-character concept of health qigong emphasizes the combination of ideas and soothing movements and even, thin, soft and long exhalation, which means qi (breathing) and shape, and does not overemphasize the activities of ideas. Pay attention to the harmony of nature when practicing, and don't forget to help. If the intention is too heavy, it will easily lead to stiff movements and shortness of breath, but it will not meet the requirements of relaxation and nature.
At the same time, we should naturally relax in form and don't pay too much attention to the norms of body movements. Only when you are relaxed and calm can you gradually slow down your breathing, reduce your pulse frequency, and adjust your qi to the best state. If the mind is too heavy, resulting in stiff body movements, it will inevitably destroy the internal balance of the body, and it is impossible to adjust the qi movement. In this method, the requirement of focusing on breathing and guidance is to talk about the organic combination of the two, rather than simply breathing and guidance.
Pay attention to breathing and have a slight intention.
The most commonly used breathing method is natural breathing or abdominal breathing, which is divided into anterograde breathing and reverse abdominal breathing. The breathing method in the six-character formula of health qigong is mainly reverse abdominal breathing.
The method and essentials are: when inhaling through the nose, the chest expands slowly, while the abdomen adducts slightly, while when exhaling through the mouth, the opposite is true. This way of breathing increases the lifting range of diaphragm, which has a similar massage effect on human viscera, and is conducive to promoting the whole body's qi and blood circulation, with obvious effect.
But beginners should remember that when breathing, they must pay attention to subtle intentions, so that they can vomit carefully, accept it constantly, intentionally or unintentionally. If it persists, you can't use force, and you must never deliberately use force to expand or contract your abdomen.
The movements are gentle, slow and coordinated.
The six-character formula of health qigong is based on breathing and breathing, supplemented by action guidance. Action guidance has the functions of moving joints, strengthening tendons and bones. Pay attention to the coordination with breathing, breathing and exhaling when practicing, and the movements should be loose, soft, appropriate and slow, so as not to destroy the uniformity and softness of breathing, breathing and exhaling.
