What are the etiquette of Health Qigong?

The etiquette of Health Qigong is very particular. It uses a bowing ceremony and the movements are divided into four parts.

Action 1: Stand side by side, breathe evenly, be calm, smile, keep your body upright naturally, and look at the recipient.

Action 2: Hold the hands crosswise and overlap them on the abdomen.

Action 3: Bend over (usually maintain a 30-degree bow), look forward and down, and stay for a moment.

Action 4: Keep the upper body upright, hang your hands naturally, and look at the recipient.

Fold your hands on the Dantian

The place where the hands are folded on the abdomen in the Health Qigong Bowing Ceremony is at the Dantian under the important acupuncture points of the human body. The ancients believed that the lower Dantian has the closest relationship with the life activities of the human body. It is the "ancestor of life", "the source of vitality", "the foundation of the internal organs", etc. It is the hub for the rise and fall of the true qi, the gathering, cooking and storage of true qi. important part of Qi. Many qigong masters in the past dynasties advocated deliberately guarding the lower Dantian. Because this part has the closest relationship to the life activities of the human body, it is located in the center of the human body and is the starting point for the movement of the three meridians: Ren, Du, and Chong. The twelve meridians also directly or indirectly enter this meridian through the Dantian. Then transfer to this dirty page. The lower Dantian is the base for the rise, fall, opening and closing of Qi. It is also the place where men store their essence and women nourish their fetuses. It has long been proven by practice that the practitioner's consciousness can be brought to a state of tranquility by focusing on the Dantian and the curative effect can be obtained. When the vitality of the Dantian is abundant and strong, the potential of the human body can be mobilized, so that the true energy can circulate throughout the body. By focusing on the Dantian, you can regulate yin and yang, communicate with the heart and kidneys, enrich the true energy and unblock the eight meridians, restore the innate physiological functions, and promote the health and longevity of the body.

Respect traditional culture

Health Qigong etiquette is respect for ancestors and traditional culture. As we all know, the Health Qigong method was created by summarizing the life practices of our ancestors and saints over thousands of years. It has brought blessings to the physical and mental health of generations of Chinese people and has become a wonderful part of the traditional culture of the motherland. The bowing etiquette before and after practicing is a sign of respect for the sages and traditional culture, and a communication with the sages across time and space. When doing anything, without a pious heart and heartfelt gratitude to the sages, it will be difficult to achieve an exquisite state! A new student once asked me half-jokingly: When we bow before and after every practice, who are we bowing to? Why don’t we see others return the favor to us! I explained this truth to him once, and he was very happy with it. He no longer had any questions, and he consciously saluted before and after every practice.

***The same gratitude

Paying attention to the etiquette of Health Qigong is also the *** mutual gratitude of both teachers and students. Health Qigong social instructors are mostly responsible for leading the masses to practice the exercises on a voluntary basis. They aim to pass on the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation to benefit the general public, so they should be respected by society and the people. Many people around us lack gratitude, and they often take the people and things that serve them voluntarily for granted. This lack of gratitude and indifference makes it difficult for them to learn real knowledge. Similarly, Health Qigong etiquette is also a token of gratitude from social instructors to the practicing people. Without the broad masses of people who love Health Qigong, traditional culture would be difficult to pass on. Respect is mutual, and so is gratitude. If the teacher is superior and the students take it for granted, it will definitely be detrimental to the inheritance of Health Qigong. Based on this, I attach great importance to Health Qigong etiquette when teaching or practicing, and students will also return the courtesy and express their gratitude.

Calm down the mind

Paying attention to the etiquette of Health Qigong can calm down the students’ mind. Students who are new to Health Qigong have no idea how to combine the three adjustments into one. Before practicing the exercises, he didn't know how to move and adjust his body, and chatted in small groups; during the exercises, he was distracted and looked around. He could feel a passerby passing behind him. When doing the exercises, I was absent-minded, always wondering if someone was laughing at my clumsy movements; after the exercise, I hurriedly left without waiting for my breathing to calm down. By paying attention to etiquette before and after practice, it is of great benefit to adjust the students' state of mind. As soon as the Health Qigong music plays and the students bow deeply, they will immediately feel sacred in their hearts. All activities unrelated to Health Qigong will come to an abrupt end and they will seriously enter the state of practicing Qigong. After bowing after the practice, and with the final rubbing of the abdomen and face, the student realizes that a solemn thing has been completed and feels calm and desireless.

Derived from habits

Health Qigong etiquette movements come from people’s living habits. People often say: People have two treasures, hands and brain. Although hands are so important, in many important gatherings, when everyone is standing and talking or taking photos, people often don't know where to put their hands, and the hands at this time seem to be superfluous. But if you observe carefully, whether you are a commoner or a dignitary, a most common and appropriate gesture is to hold your hands together and press them in front of your abdomen. This action coincides with the etiquette of Health Qigong. It is the most appropriate two-hand action in terms of appearance and feeling.

The role of Qigong

1. Preventive health care

The "Huangdi Neijing" says: "When righteousness is retained, evil cannot be affected", "If the spirit is kept internally, the disease will be safe" Never". This shows that practicing Qigong can prevent diseases, maintain health and strengthen the body. Modern research has proven that practicing Qigong has obvious effects on eliminating physical and mental fatigue, restoring physical strength and energy, improving work efficiency, enhancing the body's immunity, and preventing diseases. With the development of society, the pace of people's daily life is getting faster and faster, and the level of psychological stress is also getting higher and higher. Long-term psychological stress will reduce the body's immunity, cause physiological dysfunction, and lead to functional and even organic diseases. Therefore, being good at learning to relax in a timely manner in a tense rhythm is very necessary for fitness and disease prevention. Qigong exercise can effectively play this role.

2. Prolong life

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when a person reaches old age, the yin essence is weak, the true energy is gradually depleted, and various body functions gradually decline. There are also some people who age prematurely due to various reasons. Practice has proven that Qigong can mobilize and unleash the body's inherent potential, postpone or delay aging, prevent and treat mental decline in the elderly, improve the physical and mental health of the elderly, and achieve the effect of prolonging life.

3. Cultivation of temperament

Traditional Chinese Qigong emphasizes that practicing Qigong should cultivate the mind and nature, that is, optimizing people's emotions, will and character. This is not only the prerequisite for achieving good results in Qigong practice, but also the direct benefit that can be gradually obtained through Qigong exercise. Practice tells us that when people enter a state of tranquility through Qigong, they will experience great pleasure and comfort. Not only do they feel physically comfortable, but their mood is also very comfortable. The whole body and mind are immersed in a transcendent artistic conception. Long-term persistence in Qigong exercise can cultivate sentiments, broaden your mind, cultivate your will, shape a sound personality, and enhance your psychological adaptability. Practicing Qigong can also make people feel more comfortable in doing things and increase their efficiency. It is also conducive to improving interpersonal relationships and improving mental health.

4. Develop intelligence

Qigong practice can develop people’s intelligence. There are many clear discussions on this in ancient qigong classics. With the deepening of Qigong research, this effect of Qigong has been gradually confirmed. Through Qigong exercise, brain fatigue can be eliminated quickly, the energy can be strong, the attention can be concentrated, the senses can be sharp, the memory can be enhanced, and the thinking ability can be improved, thus improving the intelligence level. Relevant experts believe that Qigong may become an effective means to improve human intelligence.

Taboos in practicing Qigong

1. Avoid "fake"

When practicing Qigong, you must practice "true Qi" and avoid fake thoughts and behaviors. Therefore, when practicing Qigong, you must first practice being a real person; only by telling the truth, doing real things, and being an honest person can you practice your true energy. Some artificial words and actions during practice are also not allowed.

2. Avoid greed

When practicing Qigong, you must avoid greed for money, fame, profit, alcohol, and sex... If you have greed, your mind will not calm down, so you will not be able to practice well. achievement. If there is greed, there will be greedy behavior, which may cause a lot of trouble and cause many conflicts. Greed is an evil thought. When practicing Qigong, one should have a righteous and pure mind. Greed is the first of all evils. If you have greed, you will not be righteous, you will make mistakes, and you will be punished if you make mistakes. Therefore, it is very important for practitioners to avoid being greedy.

3. Avoid anger and irritability

Many diseases are caused by anger, irritation, and irritability, because emotions affect the normal physiological functions of the human body and can lead to pathological conditions over time. If practitioners do not avoid getting angry and agitated, they may be ruined after years of practice.

4. Avoid being proud and complacent, and avoid boasting.

As the saying goes: a real person does not show his appearance, and a person who shows his appearance is not a real person. People who are really capable are often modest and prudent, while people who are not very capable are prone to be proud and complacent, brag about themselves, exaggerate their own abilities, treat patients in a lavish manner, give guarantees, etc.

These are all taboos for practitioners. It should be noted that there is no end to the development of medicine. Things in the world are diverse and ever-changing. Therefore, you should leave room for speech and action at any time, and avoid the temptation to interfere with your own cultivation and cause adverse consequences.

5. Avoid willfulness

Practicing Qigong advocates letting nature take its course. Everything develops according to objective laws. Acting beyond objective laws and acting with subjective imagination is called willfulness. For example: connecting the big and small Zhoutian should be a matter of course, and success will come naturally. If you don't have enough time, it will be unnatural to forcefully use subjective thoughts to communicate. Qi and blood may accumulate in a certain place, or cause headaches, dizziness, or pain or fullness in certain places. In addition, be careful not to be willful in your daily dealings. Being willful can easily lead to anger and anger, which will affect the effectiveness of your practice.

6. Reduce sexual intercourse

The three treasures of the human body are essence, qi, and spirit. Only by practicing Qigong to make the essence, qi, and spirit strong can achieve the goal of health and longevity. If a Qigong practitioner does not abstain from sexual intercourse and has too much sexual intercourse, he will inevitably consume his essence, which will lead to insufficient kidney yin and loss of kidney essence. If you continue like this, not only will you not be able to practice Qigong well, you will probably suffer from various diseases. This is related to the fact that some people’s practice results are not obvious or their progress is slow. It is advisable to practice Qigong to reduce sexual intercourse.

7. Violation of practice regulations

Some exercises cannot be practiced at the same time, because different information between exercises with high information will produce greater reactions. Some practitioners think that the more exercises they can practice, the better, so they practice several exercises at the same time indiscriminately. Some practice one type in the morning and another in the evening; or they just piece together the characteristics of different exercises to practice together. . If you practice like that, even if you combine the essence of various exercises into one, it will still be a hodgepodge, and it may not be as effective as practicing one kind of exercise. If not, it may go astray. This is because there is a problem of "qi combination" and "qi mismatch". When the qi is not in harmony, it will not only cancel each other out, but sometimes produce adverse reactions, and even worse, it will go astray. For example: Bo ××, male, 49 years old, was not ill at all, but practicing various exercises caused migraines and insomnia.

8. The mind is too persistent and unnatural when practicing Qigong.

The purpose of practicing Qigong is nothing more than health, longevity, development of intelligence, and improvement of abilities. To achieve any of these four goals, one must first practice to unblock the meridians in the body, balance the rise and fall of qi, and normalize the movement of qi and blood, etc., so as to achieve the goal of "yin and yang are secreted, and the spirit is governed" in the body. Therefore, the best state for people to practice Qigong is to achieve the innate and natural balance state of the baby in the mother's body without the interference of the seven emotions and six evils. If the intention of practicing Qigong is too heavy and too rigid, destroying the original "natural balance" of the human body, certain symptoms will occur and the practice will go astray.

The beautifying effect of Qigong

Qigong is a self-physical and mental exercise that combines the three aspects of regulating the mind, regulating the body and regulating the breath, focusing on internal training. Qigong has three major functions: regulating the mind, regulating the breath, and regulating the body. Practicing Qigong mainly refers to practicing essence, energy, and spirit. The ancients said: "When the energy is full, the Qi will be strong, when the Qi is strong, the spirit will be strong, when the spirit is strong, the body will be healthy, and when the body will be healthy, there will be fewer diseases. Internally, the five internal organs will be covered with flowers, and externally, the skin will be moist, the face will be radiant, the ears and eyes will be clear, and you will be strong.

Through Qigong exercise, you can cultivate and enhance vitality, enrich the Qi of the organs, activate the Qi of the meridians, and improve their regulatory functions, thereby improving physical fitness and unleashing the functional potential of the human body. Therefore, Qigong has the functions of preventing and curing diseases, and maintaining health. It has the effects of healing, improving intelligence and prolonging life. Because Qigong comprehensively adjusts people's body and mind, it can make people maintain a youthful vitality both physically and psychologically. The appearance is radiant and not gray. , the eyes are not blurry, the ears are not deaf, and the teeth are not loose. This is the beauty effect of Qigong.
