Tai Ji Chuan is the perfect combination of Chinese dialectical theoretical thinking, martial arts, art, guidance and traditional Chinese medicine. Let me introduce Tai Ji Chuan's breathing methods to you, hoping to help you!
Tai Ji Chuan's breathing method
1, move gently and breathe naturally.
When exhaling, the upper qi (acquired qi) exhales through the nose, and the lower qi (innate qi) descends in Dantian: when inhaling, the upper qi is inhaled through the nose, and the lower qi is forced by Dantian. This realm is the daily "Tong Qi".
Anyone who practices Tai Ji Chuan to a considerable extent can achieve it through the oral guidance of a famous teacher. However, beginners don't have to be too demanding, so as not to hinder the correctness of boxing posture. The initial practitioners only require gentle movements and natural breathing. The whole body is comfortable and smooth
Tai Ji Chuan, more formal, can't be eager for quick success. It requires people to concentrate on their own thoughts, rather than thinking about the East and the West.
2, the whole body is loose and soft, and the mind is quiet.
There is a gradual process to achieve the breathing required by Tai Ji Chuan. In the first one or two years of internship. Just pay attention to the correct posture, don't pay attention to breathing for a while, and let it go. Gradually formed Tai Ji Chuan's breathing method.
By changing the breathing frequency and deliberately holding your breath, you will inevitably go astray. After two or three years of practice. The posture boxing frame is gradually correct and the whole body is loose and soft. Peace of mind, to a certain extent Then we must pay attention to the use of the breath of qi.
If we don't understand this truth, it will be difficult for Tai Ji Chuan to reach a higher level in the future.
3, the caller is true, for hair, for open.
Many books say that when you hit Tai Ji Chuan, you should pay attention to your breath and naturally combine with yourself. Exhale when breathing, and inhale when inhaling.
Cover suction is empty, suction is storage, and suction is combination: call for reality, call for hair, and call for opening. Know, then the body can be flexible, otherwise it is not clear. Lost its real meaning.
In modern times, ordinary Tai Ji Chuan teaching and apprenticeships are generally divided into two parts: internal and external. It's breathing. Outside is boxing, but it is often only taught outside, not inside.
It is better to leave it as it is, because teaching it is wrong and harmful. I've been practicing for a long time Still know the trick.
4. Stop sucking and start calling.
When it comes to Tai Chi Chuan's breathing, there is no trick. In posture practice, it is generally a gesture of shouting. Stop and suck. Shout down and suck up; Practice pushing the towel and press the call. Squeeze and shout, caress and suck, give up and suck; Was swept into a small breath of nature.
5. There is nothing wrong with peace of mind.
This little breath is for inner peace. Peace of mind allows you to see each other's actions clearly and won't make mistakes. Such as being squeezed or pressed. When you can't smoke anymore. It's breathing, so that the inhaled gas is dispersed in the limbs. Take a big breath. Flash call, rely on call.
According to the call, stroking and sucking, leaning and sucking, stroking and breathing. Turn around and press it incorrectly. It's also a small breath. When others move, they don't use force, but they also take small breaths. I am eager to meditate, and it is sticky and full of strength.
Tai Ji Chuan frame exercise
The first stage is to learn boxing and master posture and movements correctly.
The correct posture, whether in posture or in the process of exercise, should always maintain the strength of virtual collar, chin slightly retracted, shoulders lowered, chest raised and hips relaxed. Side by side harmony and moderate justice and comfort.
In the process of exercise, we should firmly grasp the left and right rotation, and use the back and forth rotation of two hips to drive the whole upper body to rotate back and forth. Never twist your waist and shoulders, so that your upper body twists and turns, your shoulders and hips don't fit, or even your shoulders shrink and become stiff.
When the body moves back and forth, the hips must sink slightly, the body must move forward horizontally to retreat, and the body must never be lifted up. When stepping, the center of gravity of the body must be completely implemented on one leg, and the other leg should be gently lifted by the crotch root. After stepping out, your feet should land firmly, and then your body center of gravity can move in the direction of your legs. Never let your body move in the direction of lifting your legs before landing.
In this stage of practice, in addition to the above points, you must practice your hands more and more lightly, move slowly and evenly, walk steadily and lightly, follow up from top to bottom, and coordinate your movements.
The second stage of practice is mainly to sink the strength to the sole of the foot. In theory, boxing is a frame practice method with "its roots in the feet".
The specific training method is that the forward, backward and left-right rotation of the hip must be driven by the pedaling force of the sole and the reaction force of the left-right rotation of the sole close to the ground.
In this way, the two hips are driven by the strength of the soles of the feet, and the whole body is driven by the two hips. The longer you practice, the more relaxed and light your whole body will be. All the force comes from the reaction of the sole of the foot to the ground. The so-called "force starts from the foot" and "main waist". Waist refers to two hips. The practice at this stage lasted at least one year.
It takes considerable effort to relax your hands, follow up up and down, coordinate your movements, and start from your feet before you can enter the third stage of practice.
The exercise in the third stage is mainly about motivation, which is at the end of the collection. The so-called "soft air, just landed."
Whenever the posture is about to be completed, push the two pedals hard, push the Baihui point slightly on the top of the head, send the tail forward, and encourage the Mingmen point on the back. Shoulder joint is pulled back and forth, elbow sinks, and palm is sent forward. The body tends to sit back, and the joints and ligaments of the whole body seem to have a long painting meaning. Looking far away, it seems that you put your strength into the horizon with your hands. "The meaning is far, and the strength is long." This is an intense exercise. This should be every energetic scene in boxing.
The fourth stage is testing.
When the teacher has practiced for a long time in the third stage, has considerable kung fu and is familiar with the application and motivation of internal work, he must try every movement to see whether the strength starts from the foot, whether the strength starts from the foot, whether the strength starts from the tail and waist, and whether the strength reaches the opponent's foot to make him jump.
Test is a ladder to practice whether Tai Ji Chuan can really get started. The success of the trial shows that Tai Ji Chuan's inner strength has been correctly used and distributed, and Tai Ji Chuan's kung fu can be improved day by day. However, it is difficult and complicated to test the strength, and it is often a miss. It all depends on the teacher's rich experience, careful observation and his own understanding. Sometimes, it often takes several days, even dozens of days, to succeed.
The fifth stage is to seek emptiness and tranquility.
That is, the practice of seeking emptiness in reality. The strength of the above stages of practice starts from the feet, and the strength is really exerted, but at this stage, the idea is used to complete the boxing theory: "All this is meaningful." Replace the real kicking, twisting, moving and pushing with the imagination that gradually strengthens the mind. In the end, they all use their thoughts and act like gods. This is seeking emptiness in reality.
When exercising, we should carefully understand the resistance of the air to the opponent, feet and whole body, as if the air flow is rubbing gently on the skin surface like water. The route we run in exercise is not a line, but countless points, that is, moving, stopping, moving and stopping until the end.
