1. Feet are shoulder width apart.
2. Adjust your body and mind, relax your body, breathe smoothly and have a peaceful mind.
3. Knees are slightly bent, like squatting and standing, hands folded. The height of the hands is between the chest and abdomen, the fingers are open, the palms are opposite, and the distance between the hands is comfortable and spherical.
The most important thing about standing piles is to relax, and there are several essentials that we need to grasp carefully.
The first point is the virtual top strength. Just look up slightly, as if there is a thread pulling your head. At this time, the neck is stretched and the jaw is slightly contained. At this time, you will feel your head gently lifted. After practicing for a long time, you will feel particularly agile and sensitive.
The second point is to pull your back out with your chest. When standing in a pile, our hands are like holding a ball. Our breasts are empty and our backs are round, which will make us feel full. If we find this feeling, our breath will not float on it, and it is easy to establish the feeling of abdominal breathing. Therefore, the process of standing piles is actually to practice abdominal breathing slowly.
Many people misunderstand pulling back with chest as hunchback with chest. Many people with lung qi deficiency like to stand with their chests bent, especially some university professors and senior intellectuals. They like this and seem to respect others.
In fact, this is a sign of internal qi deficiency, especially lung qi deficiency. When we stand on the pile, we should hold our chest out and pull our backs, that is, we should relax our chest and hold the ball with both hands while straightening our spine. This is the second point.
The third point is to sit on your hips with a loose waist. Relaxation means relaxation, and lower your waist. Sitting is sitting, and hips are hip joints. The main purpose of sitting on the hips is to relax the waist.
Most people like to stand up straight, which will make the waist muscles tense. The stake needs to be relaxed at the waist. When relaxing the waist, the waist is slightly attached to the back, and it is in a straight line from the lumbar spine to the spine, so that the waist can be relaxed.
How to verify? For example, if we stand against the wall, we can put one hand between the waist and the wall without loosening our waist. If the action of loosening the waist is done properly, we can really stick our waist on the wall and our hands can't get in. This is a measure to make our whole waist completely flush with the wall.
So, how do you sit on your hips? In fact, the abdomen is contracting inward. When the abdomen contracts inward, the waist will automatically sink, so that the abdomen will be thick. Therefore, if you practice Tai Ji Chuan for a long time, your abdomen will be particularly full and full, and your ability to fight is very strong.
The fourth point is knee joint relaxation. As soon as the knee joint is relaxed, all the strength of the whole body falls to the soles of the feet. Yongquan point on the sole of the foot is the beginning of the kidney meridian, from which kidney water gushes like spring water.
We all know that the human body has the twelve meridians, and Yongquan point is called Zuxin. Many people know that foot massage can treat insomnia. The reason is that after rubbing the heart, the internal heat will drop to the kidney water. This is called Fire and Water ji ji, which can help people with incompatible heart and kidney to sleep. And we can also achieve this effect by standing piles and sinking gas into the spring.
In this way, we put all our strength on the soles of our feet, and the more relaxed, the better. This is also a way to draw blood.
Standing for a long time, the pile is in place, and it also has the function of lacing, which can straighten the whole spine.
As we all know, children's spine is straight, and when people get old, the spine will bend. Therefore, whether the spine is stretched or not has a great relationship with people's health.
What China ancients were good at was grasping the principal contradiction and solving other problems. Standing piles is an excellent way to fully stretch the spine!
Many human diseases, such as headache, cervical spondylosis, scapulohumeral periarthritis, dizziness, palpitation, epigastric pain, diarrhea, lumbar spondylosis, numbness of lower limbs, etc. It has a lot to do with spinal dislocation, disorder and disc herniation. The spine is relaxed and healthy, and many diseases are naturally solved.
Because the spine is closely related to the zang-fu organs, and each zang-fu organ has nerves connected with the spinal nerves, many problems of the zang-fu organs will be cured automatically as long as the spine is practiced well.
Some people may have heard that there is a set of medicine in the west called chiropractic medicine, which can treat many visceral diseases. This is the principle.
Standing piles can cure diseases, and the principle lies in chiropractic. After adjusting the position and state of the spine, the visceral diseases will be cured automatically.
The average person, whether walking, sitting or lying down, bears a lot of weight on the spine, so the spine (especially the lumbar vertebrae and cervical vertebrae) is prone to problems.
By standing piles, the whole body is loose, the incorrect pressure on the spine is removed, and the spine is fully stretched and relaxed. When the body is completely relaxed, the internal organs become active and the internal qi begins to recover.
