abdominal respiration

This is the most commonly used breathing method in qigong pranayama. It is beneficial to the accumulation, storage and mobilization of internal qi. Abdominal breathing is generally divided into natural abdominal breathing and deep long abdominal breathing, and the latter is the transition of the former. Deep and long abdominal breathing can be divided into cis and reverse.

When inhaling, the abdominal muscles relax, and with the decline of the diaphragm, the anterior abdominal wall gradually bulges. When exhaling, the abdominal muscles contract, the abdominal wall retracts or sinks slightly, and the diaphragm also rises to the original level. This is abdominal breathing (physiologically called isovolumic breathing).

Natural breathing method

People who practice qigong for the first time generally breathe naturally. It is on the basis of natural breathing that you are used to, your body relaxes into silence, and then your breathing is adjusted to be soft, smooth and natural. When you start pranayama, you can meditate the word "static" when inhaling and the word "loose" when exhaling to help pranayama enter a static state.

Nasal inhalation breathing method

When practicing martial arts, we often use nasal inhalation or nasal inhalation. Sniffing and breathing are mostly used for static exercises, while sniffing and breathing are mostly used for Tai Chi Qigong and walking exercises. A few practitioners, due to diseases such as nasal diseases and colds, occasionally use their mouths instead of nasal breathing, but their mouths should be slightly opened. In addition, oral inhalation and nasal inhalation should not be advocated.

2, the basic requirements of qigong breathing

Qigong breathing, no matter what way, is composed of four actions: inhalation, exhalation, breath holding and breath stopping. Hold your breath for a short time after inhaling. After exhaling, temporarily stop breathing until you breathe. A breath is a breath, and every breath must have a breath, a breath. But not every breath has breath holding and breath stopping.

Breath-holding and breath-holding must be used flexibly according to the needs of stretching and stretching, opening and twisting actions, and closing and pressing actions of relaxation and pause. The ancients said, "Exhaustion means exhaustion, and holding your breath means pain.". Therefore, when inhaling and exhaling, leave room, be relaxed and slow, and don't breathe hard, so as not to inhale too much and exhale too much. Hold your breath and stop gently, and continue slowly, not too hard or too long.

3. Breathing is an important part of health qigong.

Fitness Qigong is a traditional national sport with its own physical activities, breathing and breathing, and psychological adjustment as its main forms of exercise. Breathing and breathing are the symbolic features of health qigong, which is the fundamental point that distinguishes it from other sports. In a certain sense, health qigong is breathing and breathing kung fu.

Qigong: A way to do whatever you want, called Qigong. It is the essence of Qigong, and it is also different from other sports. Two-qi free will is two different physiological States, one is the unity of heart and qi, that is, the super anoxic state, and the other is the mobilization of qi, that is, the super bioelectric state.

It is a traditional health care method in China. A physical and mental exercise method that takes the adjustment of breathing, physical activity and consciousness (breath adjustment, body adjustment and heart adjustment) as a means, and aims at strengthening the body, preventing and treating diseases, strengthening the body and prolonging life, and developing potential. It mainly pays attention to adjusting the harmonious relationship between natural qi and innate qi. In China Qigong, the innate qi is the primitive qi given by parents, which circulates in the the twelve meridians and the eight strange meridians of the human body.

Benefits of practicing qigong

1, the effect of practicing qi can delay the aging of human organs.

When people reach middle age, organs will begin to age, and when people reach old age, organs will age or get sick. One of the main reasons is that blood circulation is blocked. Practicing qigong can reduce people's blood viscosity, cholesterol and blood lipid; It can enhance the function of human internal organs and delay the aging of human internal organs.

2. The function of practicing qi can improve people's immunity.

After practicing Qigong to a certain extent, body fluids in the mouth increase, and saliva contains a variety of immune cells, which can enhance people's immunity. Through scientific research and testing, it is found that compared with the control group who does not practice Qigong, people in Qigong group have more immune cells in their blood and their immune ability is enhanced. These experiments can prove that there is a scientific basis for people to reduce colds, infections and diseases of the elderly by practicing Qi.

3. Promote qi, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and improve human blood circulation.

Through scientific experiments, it is observed that the nail fold microcirculation of exercisers has improved. Compared with before Qigong, the capillary loops of nailfold increased and the open loops increased, indicating that practicing Qigong is beneficial to human blood circulation.

4, the role of practicing qi, dredging collaterals and eliminating evil.

Many qigong practitioners have experienced the reaction of qi rushing to the focus. For example, when patients with headache are practicing, they will feel swollen and jump when qi passes through meridians. When the meridian passes, some people will obviously feel a warm current passing along the meridian, and the headache will disappear.
