Precautions for beginners of Qigong:
1. First of all, beginners should have a correct understanding of Qigong. Qigong is a method of self-psychosomatic exercise, which needs long-term persistence. That is to say, learning Qigong should be gradual, and you should not be eager for success. It is impossible to learn Qigong well by surprise and overnight. We should not mistakenly think that the function of qi can cure all diseases, so we should completely give up other treatment methods. Qigong therapy has its indications and limitations. Some diseases can be dominated by qigong therapy, while others can only be supplemented by qigong therapy. In the process of practice, we should give full play to our subjective initiative, make full preparations for various difficulties in practice, especially in the early stage of study, and actively solve these problems.
2. Secondly, we should find a qualified Qigong doctor to guide us. In this way, due to the proper method, you can take fewer detours. Without the guidance of qigong doctors, it is often impossible to get to the point, but after a long time of practice, the effect is not great. In addition, under the guidance of qigong doctors, it can prevent deviation or "fire" in practice. Without the guidance of teachers, it is easy to deviate from practice, which not only has poor results, but also harms health. If you don't have the opportunity to practice under the guidance of a teacher, you can get in touch with Qigong medical units such as nursing homes and outpatient clinics in writing, instead of giving personal advice by letter. But we must seriously understand the essentials of practicing martial arts, be extra careful, ask questions in time and solve them in time.
3. In addition, beginners should choose appropriate exercise methods according to their own disease types and severity, and treat them according to syndrome differentiation, so as to get quick results. Generally speaking, each method has corresponding indications. Some exercises are more effective for some diseases. If you choose correctly, you can get twice the result with half the effort. For example, the seriously ill elderly can choose to lie down and sit, the light ones can choose to stand and walk, the elderly can choose to keep Qigong, and they can also choose corresponding exercises to strengthen visceral function according to different visceral diseases.
Generally speaking, after choosing a good achievement method, you should concentrate on practicing, and it is not advisable to practice multiple achievement methods at the same time. If you chop and change, several methods affect each other, affect the training effect, and are prone to deviation.
At the beginning, we should practice basic skills step by step according to the essentials and precautions. Never look around and spend your time on "seeking novelty and seeking difference". Because watching too much and asking too much (for example, watching a lot of training methods and asking a lot of training effects and changes) is not only useless, but may cause confusion in your understanding of training and affect training.
5. Other matters needing attention, such as the arrangement of time, should be arranged flexibly according to your health and work situation; The practice environment should be quiet and the air should be fresh. You should control your sex life during exercise, especially for the seriously ill. Women's menstrual training time should not be too long, they should stop strenuous exercise, don't be obsessed with the lower body, and don't guide too much mental activity to the lower body.
6. Finally, to arrange life scientifically, the recovery of disease, the consolidation of curative effect and the maintenance of health depend on many factors, such as insisting on practicing martial arts, paying attention to spiritual cultivation, arranging life scientifically and reasonably, and cooperating with other treatment methods.
First, before exercise:
1, be prepared to practice martial arts, so as to stabilize your mood.
2. The surrounding environment for practice should be quiet.
3, when practicing, the light should be adjusted, not too strong, to avoid irritating the eyes. Air should be circulated, but direct blowing should be avoided.
4. If there are obvious symptoms that affect the practice, such as local pain and discomfort, you can take some symptomatic treatment measures to relieve the symptoms before starting the practice.
5. When practicing static exercises, prepare beds and chairs for lying and sitting exercises in advance. Generally, it is advisable to use a wooden bed, which is easy to fix the body and will not shake. The chair should be suitable for height, so that the legs are almost parallel, and a cushion or blanket should be added under the buttocks, which is convenient for sedentary and not easy to get tired.
6. It is advisable to rule out defecation first, and it is advisable to be comfortable and quiet.
7. Take off your coat, loosen your belt, loosen your training clothes, and remove accessories such as watches and glasses.
8. Before practicing static exercises, you can do several health exercises, such as chewing your teeth, practicing your tongue and rubbing your abdomen. , can help you concentrate.
Second, in practice:
1. If you have too many distractions during practice, you can stop practicing, let your body move or do some exercises, which will help to eliminate distractions and practice after the distractions are reduced.
2. We should not pursue or be afraid of all kinds of special feelings produced in practice, but let them appear and disappear naturally. When you have questions about some special feelings, you can reflect them to the Qigong coach after practice so as to solve them.
Don't panic if there is a sudden loud noise during practice. If you are practicing static kung fu, you can stop practicing and continue practicing after relaxing on the third line. If you practice exercise and calm down a little, you can continue to practice the original technique.
Third, after practice:
At the end of practice, people who practice static work will change from static to static, while those who practice dynamic work will change from dynamic to static, so there should be a relaxation process of "receiving work" and you should not stop working suddenly to avoid feeling uncomfortable. The specific method is: first, make psychological preparations for the whole body to resume normal activities, about L ~ 2 minutes. Then slowly open your eyes, move your limbs, and rub your palms together. After your hands are warm, do a full-body massage from head to neck to abdomen, and then turn to normal activities.
In addition, women can stop practicing for a few days during menstruation. Or when practicing, change abdominal breathing to natural breathing, and change the intention of keeping the lower abdomen below the navel to the middle abdomen, so as to reduce the menstrual period extension and menstrual volume increase caused by practice. Male sex workers should correctly treat the phenomenon of "self-protection" in practice. If the frequency of nocturnal emission is too frequent, more than twice a week, drug treatment and "lifting and pinching" treatment methods can be taken appropriately, or rubbing with a pocket to reduce the frequency of nocturnal emission. During the practice, you should also avoid having too much sex life to prevent energy consumption and damage your vitality. In addition, we must pay attention to light diet, avoid irritating food and ensure adequate sleep.
