How to get started with qigong beginners
The steps of qigong beginners are as follows:

Step 1: Breathe out and pay attention to your heart. When preparing for practice, you should close your eyes slightly, first look at the tip of your nose for a while, then close your eyes and look at your heart, listen to your own breathing, and make no noise. With each exhalation, the mind is released from the throat to the heart socket, which gradually slows down and stretches as long as possible. The time of each exhalation is 8- 12 times per minute. Let it be. When you breathe in, you don't think or know.

Step 2: Interest Follow the trend of Dantian. When the first step is to practice until you feel hot in your heart every time you exhale, you can follow your intention. Every time you exhale, the hot airflow from the heart will gradually extend downward and gradually move to the abdomen (lower abdomen). But we must pay attention to relaxing nature and not be too deliberate and hasty.

Step 3: Adjust your breath and stay in your abdomen. Next, when there is heat flow sinking in the abdomen every time you exhale, and the abdomen is warm and hot, stop breathing in the abdomen intentionally or unintentionally, that is, stay in the abdomen and don't care too much about exhaling. Practice kung fu three times a day for about 40 minutes each time. This step takes about 40 days of exercise, and you can feel an "air mass" forming in your abdomen.

Step 4: Don't forget to help the governor. Next, when the true qi in the abdomen is enriched to a certain extent, it will go up along the spine. At this point, the mind must follow it up and not be distracted by other things (don't forget); When it stops somewhere and doesn't go up or even back, don't intentionally guide it up (don't help it).

Step 5: Shen Yuan preserves its strength and breeds vitality. After the formation of Ren-Du circulation, it is generally still intended for the lower abdomen, and other meridians can be opened one after another. If there is strength in the top of your head, you can switch to the abdomen (in the brain) and master it flexibly. The training time is still about one hour three times a day.
