With the accumulation of muscle and bone pulling exercises, the standard adjustment of pile frame from thick to thin, and the awakening and repair of human congenital functions such as abdomen and kidney, the body will break the original balance and establish a new balance that is more in line with health requirements under the action of martial arts exercises. When the balance between the old and the new changes, there is often a clear sense of body, and different individuals have different senses. At this time, the role of the master is crucial, because some somatosensory sensations are caused by improper practice and need to be corrected in time, while others are important opportunities to improve the curative effect. Once you miss it, it's hard to find it.

Especially in the early stage of pile standing, or when the previous loose exercise enters the standard exercise, the appearance of various somatosensory sensations will be more frequent and repeated. At this time, it is very necessary to communicate with Master in time, because the problems in practice can only be completely solved by going back to practice, finding the root of the problems and deploying the practice content, which is also one of the important manifestations of standardization and professionalism in practice. Otherwise, if we only rely on general but targeted consultation such as "relaxation and practice" or "letting nature take its course", it will not be easy for us to practice deeply. Over time, the effects of standardized and non-standardized practices will naturally be obviously different.

Sour, swelling, pain and numbness are common somatosensory sensations in the early stage of standing piles. There are two main reasons for this kind of somatosensory sensation: one is in the process of the body changing from "clumsy" to "whole". With the increase of age, as well as the reasons of work and living habits, the body will gradually get out of the "balanced" state that meets the health requirements, such as inconsistent load-bearing on both legs, abnormal bending of cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, and so on. Therefore, the primary goal of standing piles is to dredge meridians, balance bones, and make the smooth circulation of qi and blood a necessary prerequisite. At this stage of practice, it is particularly important to form good practice habits through standardized practice. In order to effectively alleviate this kind of somatosensory sensation, it is necessary to return to the specific exercises of different individuals and carry out reasonable exercises according to different age conditions and different physical basic conditions, so that each practitioner can get rid of "suffering" as soon as possible.

Another main cause of acid, bloating, pain and numbness is "disease-expelling reaction". For example, if the body has been injured before, or a certain part is too tired because of work, this kind of somatosensory appearance will often be stronger. At this time, the core of releasing the focus is the master's theoretical guidance and the deployment of practice content. For example, how to increase or decrease the time-consuming in the practice of bracing tendons and pulling bones, how to relieve symptoms with the help of ideas, how to add some effective auxiliary exercises in combination with different individuals and so on. As a student, we must give timely and objective feedback to Master about our physical condition and practice. In many cases, the relief of lesions and the improvement of curative effect can be achieved at the same time. Grasping the opportunity can get twice the result with half the effort, thus reflecting the value of "combination of training and training" of outbound piles.

The feeling of qi is one of the most popular feelings, but it is also the least vivid feeling. As the body gradually becomes upright, balanced and relaxed, at this time, it is often accompanied by a crisp and burning feeling. First of all, we must understand that this is a good sense of body, but at the same time, we must realize that this kind of body or body feeling is inevitable, so the best attitude towards this feeling is: "Don't welcome it, don't send it." "Don't chase, don't love, more can't compare and face and fantasy. Different people, different individuals, different training systems and different training stages will cause such feelings to be different, deep or shallow. It is certainly gratifying to have a good body consciousness, but the absence of such body consciousness does not mean that practice is ineffective. Everyone has a different "outbreak period". As long as practice is the Tao, then every persistence is accumulation and precipitation.

Speaking of qi, you can't help but mention it. The qi mentioned in the achievement method refers more to the innate "qi". As we all know, standing pile is a kind of achievement method, not just posing as a "shape". The requirement of "shape" in specific exercises must conform to the principle of "both internal and external training", which is also the core value of standing pile practice. In daily practice, any adjustment of the "shape" of pile frame is inseparable from this core. Only by practicing in this direction can the diaphragm and acupoints of Zhongshan slowly loosen and the body gradually become transparent to meet the requirements of awakening congenital functions. In this way, under the guidance of the master, through reasonable control of ideas and skilled mastery of the practice rhythm, we can truly appreciate the sense of body and artistic conception of "breathing essence" as the entrance to the abdomen.

When the dormant abdomen gradually wakes up and the function of the kidney recovers well, it is necessary to further practice and strengthen the function of the abdomen, promote the better integration of elements, essence and qi, and make the bones, muscles, fascia and organs of the whole body more fully nourished, further interpreting and embodying the purpose of "nursed back to health". Regular exercises include: abdominal drumming, hum, ha, hanging hook exercises of abdominal muscles and muscles, etc. Through these exercises, the frequency of beam expansion and the opening and closing of bone seams can be realized smoothly, and the whole body is like an airbag. At this time, the cognition and understanding of qi sensation is naturally different from before. At the same time, through these exercises, the search and release of deep hidden lesions and "not sick" in the body will be more complete and thorough.

Finally, talk about the cognition and feeling of the tail. Turning from hip to tail is another core exercise content besides Kungfu exercise in Dantian, and it is one of the values of "returning to nature the day after tomorrow". When the human body is in infancy, this area is relaxed. With the growth of human body, this area is gradually "closed", forming a false joint. It should be noted that the back hip and tail turn are practiced synchronously, and * * * belongs to the practice content of "Dragon Skill". The looseness of the back hip and the rotation of the tail can be felt realistically by hand. Therefore, it is not recommended to pay attention to the feeling of the tail, not to mention that whether the tail is vertical or hooked, it is better to practice step by step according to the internal logic of the achievement method. The feeling of practice comes from the process of practice. The real sense of body can review the previous practice effect and make clear the future practice goal. On the contrary, the imaginary feeling will miss many opportunities for improvement and confuse the direction of practice. To make the ideal land, we need to experience the strength accumulated by standard practice as a support. (End of full text)
