The so-called dynamic and static work is based on static work. Due to the movement of qi and blood and the action of ideas, static and vivid phenomena are produced, and even various dynamic movements or take-offs.
Practice skills of static work:
First, the posture and movements of Qigong should be based on relaxation and quietness, with the mind as the leading factor, so that the body and mind can be highly coordinated and unified. Although some techniques emphasize posture, such as guiding massage. However, according to the requirements of qigong, no matter what posture, it should be carried out in a quiet state. In the process of exercise, we must concentrate our attention and thoughts; And more importantly, these gestures are given specific ideas, such as holding the ball and holding your breath. Therefore, these postures not only have some physical exercises, but also help to adjust the mentality and practice the mind.
Second, the posture of Qigong is based on the principle of relaxation, naturalness, comfort and effectiveness, and does not require absolute accuracy. When practicing Qigong, it is enough to be "relaxed, natural, comfortable and effective" according to the basic requirements of the prescribed posture and movements. You don't need to pay special attention to whether the posture and movements are absolutely accurate. Don't pose for the sake of posture, which will cause mental tension and affect relaxation. Of course, with the deepening of practice, you can constantly adjust your posture and movements, so that they can better reflect the specific ideas of practice and become more artistic.
Third, the posture and movements of Qigong can be changed according to the different situations of people practicing due to the cause of illness, and there is no need to insist on consistency. Although all kinds of qigong exercises have specific requirements for posture and movements, different practitioners should choose and change flexibly according to specific conditions.
