Ba Duan Jin's breathing method is based on the principles of opening, closing, lifting, falling, bending, stretching, ascending, descending, spinning and closing, and all kinds of reasonable breathing. For example, the opening action is sucking, the closing action is screaming, the lifting action is sucking, the falling action is screaming and so on. There is also a temporary breath of transition action. If there are different movements of the upper and lower limbs, the breathing mode depends on which movement is the main one, and reasonable breathing is carried out according to the initiative.

Determine the breathing method according to the formation law and cognitive law of motor skills. The learning order of Ba Duanjin should be Kung Fu learning → Breathing learning → Overall action automation. In the beginner stage of Baduanjin (summary), don't consciously force reverse breathing, adopt the method of natural breathing. In the improvement stage (differentiation) of Ba Duan Jin's learning, after mastering kung fu, the reverse breathing method is gradually added to improve the learning and practice effect, and finally the automation of movement and breathing consciousness is formed.

Precautions:

Don't smoke after practicing Ba Duan Jin. It's best not to smoke when practicing Baduanjin. Because the most important thing in practicing Qi is to cooperate with breathing, promote blood circulation and dredge meridians. During this period, smoking will accelerate the transportation of harmful substances such as nicotine in cigarettes to all parts of the body, and smoking will also affect lung function, which will not achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

It is best not to eat immediately after practicing Baduanjin, because Baduanjin is a qigong exercise. Just finished practicing Baduanjin, the blood is concentrated in the muscles and respiratory system, and there is less blood in the digestive organs. Eating at this time not only has poor digestion and absorption, but also brings a burden to the gastrointestinal tract. The correct way is to eat it half an hour after practicing Ba Duan Jin. At this time, after a period of adjustment, all aspects of breathing tend to be flat, and digestive function gradually returns to normal.
