What are the benefits of practicing Tai Ji Chuan 42?
Practicing boxing is like practicing Dantian Kung Fu.
Tai Ji Chuan is an internal boxing method, all because of abdominal merit. Only by using abdominal qi can we really practice Tai Ji Chuan. There are two ways to practice dantian kung fu.
One is quiet practice, that is, staying in the abdomen. One is static and dynamic training, that is, dantian and dantian breathing, which was commonly used by people who practiced Neijia boxing in the past.
Stay quietly in the abdomen. The more you practice, the fuller and more satisfied your abdomen will be, filling your whole body and relaxing your skin. The more energetic you are, the greater your strength and inner strength will be. Practicing boxing is like being alive and kicking.
Dantian is an expert in practicing essence, qi and spirit, which is divided into upper, middle and lower Dantian. The upper abdomen is deep at Zu point between eyebrows, the middle abdomen is between navel and Mingmen, the lower abdomen is deep at Yin Hui point, the front abdomen is at Shenque point of navel, and the rear abdomen is at Mingmen between two kidneys.
It is the gateway of internal qi, the gateway of internal qi, and the gateway of heart and kidney. & lt& lt& lt Do this exercise and clean your internal organs thoroughly.
When practicing kung fu and boxing, these fields will play a role in a single game. When the work is finished, it will be heavy to concentrate on the lower abdomen, neutral to concentrate on the middle abdomen, and empty to the spirit to concentrate on the upper abdomen.
Boxing is like self-massage.
The process of practicing Tai Ji Chuan is also a process of self-massage. The ancients called it? Self-massage with blood flowing everywhere .
When the abdomen can breathe spontaneously, the mixed energy can surge and start, that is, the abdomen relaxes and rises, which promotes the expansion and contraction of abdominal muscles and the rise and fall of diaphragm, and plays the role of self-massage of abdominal, large intestine, bladder, spleen and stomach, kidney and other internal organs.
When practicing in the abdomen below perineum, it can automatically stretch and contract, and when jumping, it can play the role of self-massage of bladder and anal sphincter. When practicing boxing, the waist turns to the spine, the two waists are exchanged, and the kidney of Mingmen is hot, which plays the role of self-massage of both kidneys and Mingmen.
The opening and closing of the chest and abdomen can mobilize the vitality in the chest, adjust the pressure in the chest and abdomen, and play the role of self-massage of the heart, lungs, spleen, liver, kidney and five internal organs. Eighteen joint balls all over the body are spirally wound, which plays a self-massage role in stretching bones and muscles, relaxing skin, blood vessels and nerves, moistening periosteum and flexible joints.
When the body is hot, or the muscles are beating, the heat is swollen or beating, the heat flow moves in series, and even the hot air hovers around the whole body, which plays a self-massage role on the skin, tendons and acupoints.
In addition, the vibration caused by shaking your feet when you relax, the trembling caused by relaxing your strength, the convergence and fullness when you relax your eyes, and closing your eyes and looking at your eyes all have the function of self-massage.
Practicing boxing is like nourishing the heart and nature.
Practicing boxing is the whole process of cultivating the mind and nourishing the nature. People have three treasures: essence, qi and spirit, and worldly desires. The three treasures are harmless to health, but if they are harmful, they will get sick and tired.
When people are young, they can keep the three treasures of human nature without the troubles of secular desires. After adulthood, the activities of the seven senses, such as eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue, heart and mind, gradually increased. If it is too much, the essence, qi and god will be gradually damaged, leading to imbalance of yin and yang, yang failure and yin excess, gradual decline of the body and weakened resistance.
Six exogenous evils, seven internal injuries, will get sick. Exogenous pathogens are wind, which can cause various diseases, invade the lungs from the pores of the skin, and then spread to other meridians and viscera. After being exposed to the wind, it is susceptible to other five evils and can also spread to other parts to produce diseases.
Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the wind and cold outside, avoid the gas inside, cultivate the mind and nourish the nature, and preserve the three treasures, so as to keep the essence, the spirit and the spirit from leaving the body. This is the three treasures of rest. The eyes are watching, the ears are listening, and the heart is brave. The unity of the three is spirituality. Qi and blood are smooth, and Sambo is unwilling to recover it. They can not only cure diseases and preserve health, but also prolong life. Boxing has its own strength.
Be calm and have perseverance.
Pay attention to practicing Tai Ji Chuan, and avoid being impetuous and eager for quick success. Many practitioners give up easily in three stages and need to go through three levels.
First, it is difficult to pass the beginner stage.
Beginners of Tai Chi, with stiff body and uncoordinated movements, can easily make people feel that they are too stupid, timid and unsuitable for martial arts and give up.
Second, it's boring to practice for half a year.
After practicing for half a year, the freshness gradually loses, and it is easy to give up because of boredom by repeating the exercise on time every day.
Thirdly, after a year and a half, we must pass the frustrating obstacles.
After practicing for a year and a half to two years, I feel very hard, but I haven't made much progress and my spirit is gone. I give up easily because of discouragement.
The process of spiritual practice is also a process of tempering the will. If a person has determination and perseverance, why can't he achieve something?
Effect of Type 42 Tai Ji Chuan on Health
Tai Ji Chuan's compilation combines the theory of Yin and Yang with the theory of meridians, which has its unique style and curative effect in health preservation.
As early as 1960' s, Beijing Medical College published the article "Seeing Taiji Biography from Medicine". They made a systematic medical examination and comparison between the elderly who practiced Tai Ji Chuan, those who did not practice Tai Ji Chuan and those in nursing homes.
The results show that in the aspects of physical development, structure, shape and function of cardiovascular system, respiratory system and skeletal system, a group of indexes of practicing Tai Ji Chuan are good, and the degree of aging change is also low.
Physical development
Old people who practice Tai Ji Chuan have strong muscles, thick body circumference and high vital capacity. Humpback is very common among the elderly, but it is rare among the elderly who practice Tai Ji Chuan.
cardiovascular system
After ECG, cardiac X-ray images and changes of blood pressure and pulse before and after load, except for the size of the heart measured by the two groups, the other items in Tai Ji Chuan group were better than those in the control group.
Skeletal metabolism
Because the organs of the elderly are gradually aging, the bones are particularly obvious. For example, the spine becomes soft, many bony processes proliferate, and even bone spurs are formed, which will lead to hunchback and low back pain. After X-ray photography, it was found that the intervertebral space of the elderly in Tai Ji Chuan group was wider than that in the control group, with fewer vertebral spines and fewer people with soft and compressed spine.
As can be seen from the above examination results, practicing Tai Ji Chuan has a good effect on people's heart, lungs, blood vessels and bones.
Although the nervous systems of the two groups were not examined, Tai Ji Chuan's concentration and no distractions can make the brain get a full rest, and Tai Ji Chuan's exercises have a certain auxiliary effect on the nervous system.
Recently, a university in Shanghai proved that Tai Ji Chuan exercise has a good influence on the endocrine system of the elderly. Especially in the pituitary-thyroid axis and pituitary gonad, which have an important influence on metabolism and aging process, it has obvious improvement effect. Long-term practice of Tai Ji Chuan can further strengthen the compensatory ability of some stimulation cords secreted by the pituitary gland.
Because boxing has effects on different endocrine axes and different levels of endocrine glands, it is speculated that Tai Ji Chuan can improve the function of target glands by regulating pituitary gland or higher endocrine center, and then have a positive impact on body metabolism.
It can be seen that there is a close relationship of interdependence, mutual restriction, mutual adjustment and mutual connection between hypothalamus and pituitary, which is contradictory and unified, and regulates the relative stability of human internal environment.
From the research topics listed above, it is also from low level to high level, from shallow to deep, which provides valuable inspection and experimental basis and accumulates important information for sorting out and perfecting the traditional health-preserving Tai Ji Chuan.
This is Chinese medicine, which has been closely linked with the traditional health preserving movement for a long time, and today's modern medicine has begun to attach importance to Tai Ji Chuan, a precious cultural heritage and traditional health preserving. More international friends love this sport, and many countries have established the Tai Ji Chuan Association to visit China.
