Ba Duan Jin improves my sub-health

My status

My physical condition is very poor and I am often in a sub-healthy state.

I have a constitution with Yin deficiency and fire exuberance, and I often get angry easily. Especially during the aunt's period, you can't eat cold food, and you can't touch any tonic food. As long as you are contaminated with it, the amount will be like a spring. Coupled with poor gastrointestinal problems and frequent insomnia and light sleep, various sub-health symptoms appeared in the body. Whenever I say I'm not feeling well, the person at home will say: "You are such a troublesome woman." I've never seen you feel better for a day. Either it hurts here or it's uncomfortable. You look like an old lady in your seventies or eighties. What should I do when you get old?"

Contact with Baduanjin

I came into contact with Baduanjin very accidentally. After the classmate was introduced to practice Baduanjin, he felt peaceful and his physical fitness was well adjusted. So I voluntarily promoted this traditional practice method to the people around me, so I benefited from it and started practicing. If you are interested, it is recommended that you first search on Baidu online to learn about the content and practice precautions of Baduanjin, so that you can get started quickly. There are many online, so I won’t introduce them one by one here.

The changes Baduanjin has brought to me

I practice at home every morning and evening, once or twice each time, for about twelve minutes each time. I didn't feel much in the first few days, but after practicing for ten days, I suddenly felt a heat flowing through my little finger. Especially when practicing lifting and pressing down, it is particularly obvious. After a week of stopping training, the feeling disappears. I have been practicing for two months so far, and now I will talk about the changes that Baduanjin has brought to me:

1. The standing and sitting postures have become graceful. In the past, the person in my family always said that I didn't look good when I walked, and that I couldn't hold my head up, hold my chest out, and tighten my abdomen. The exercises of Baduanjin mainly focus on stretching, such as: holding the Tianli Triple Burner with both hands is upward stretching; opening the bow from left to right like shooting a vulture is stretching from left to right; climbing the feet with hands to strengthen the kidneys and waist is stretching by bending upright and so on. After practicing for a period of time, the body will be stretched, and the problem of holding the chest will be changed invisibly. The head can be lifted, the chest can be lifted, and the abdomen can be lifted, and the person will appear more energetic and temperamental.

2. Improve sleep quality. Before practicing Baduanjin, it was difficult for me to fall asleep and I slept very lightly. I lay down in bed at 10:30, tossing and turning until after 12 o'clock, and I couldn't fall asleep even if there was the slightest noise, and I couldn't wake up the next morning. While practicing Baduanjin, I fell asleep quickly every night and woke up naturally around 5:30 in the morning, which helped me develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

3. Constipation is resolved. Before practice, do it only once a few days and do it strenuously. After practicing Baduanjin, I can go to the toilet regularly and no longer need to drink herbal tea to solve the problem. Stop practicing and get confused again.

4. Start sweating. Before practicing Baduanjin, I sweated for a while. I bought some medicine and took it and it felt better. After practicing Baduanjin for a month, I found that I started to sweat again at night. I checked online and found that practicing Baduanjin has a process of eliminating diseases (meaning that if you have hidden diseases or root causes, they may relapse and then improve when you practice Baduanjin). I don’t know if this is the reason. Although I was sweating, I was in good condition and not as afraid of the cold as before.

Postscript

Although practicing Baduanjin, the movements are simple and the time spent is short. It is not limited by place or number of people, and it can very well improve physical sub-health. But nothing happens overnight, only persistence. I hope we can go further and further on the road to physical fitness.
