To learn and practice Health Qigong, we must first understand the special features of breathing in the practice of Health Qigong, and learn to practice breathing as a key subject in the study of Health Qigong.

1. How does Qigong breathe?

Abdominal breathing

This is the common breathing method used in Qigong. It is conducive to the accumulation, storage and transfer of internal air. Abdominal breathing is generally divided into natural abdominal breathing and deep long abdominal breathing, the latter transitioning from the former. Deep long abdominal breathing can be divided into cis and reverse.

The abdominal muscles relax when inhaling, and the anterior wall of the abdomen gradually bulges as the diaphragm falls. When exhaling, the abdominal muscles contract, the abdominal wall retracts or slightly indents, and the transverse sputum also rises to the original level. This is cis-type abdominal breathing (physiologically called isovolumetric breathing).

Natural breathing

Those who practice qigong generally use natural breathing. That is, on the basis of the natural breathing that is usually used, the body relaxes and calms, and then the breathing is adjusted to be soft, smooth, and natural. When starting to adjust the interest rate, you can use the word "static" when you inhale, and meditate the word "song" when you exhale, to help you adjust your interest.

Nasal mouth call

In the practice of breathing, the use of nasal suction or nasal suction is used. Nasal nasal sputum is mostly used for static work, Tai Chi qigong, walking qigong, etc. There are a small number of practitioners who, by nose, colds and other diseases, accidentally use their mouth instead of nasal breathing, but the mouth should be slightly open. In addition, mouth snout and mouth sucking are not recommended.

2, the basic requirements of Qigong breathing

Qigong's breathing, no matter what the way, consists of four actions: inhalation, exhalation, breath holding and stopping. After inhaling, the short-term holding of the inhaled gas is a breath; after exhaling, temporarily stop breathing. As soon as you breathe and breathe, there must be a suck and a call in every interest. But not every breath has a breath and gas.

Breathing and air-stopping must be flexibly applied according to the needs of the limbs, such as stretching, stretching, and twisting. The ancients said, "Let the gas go out and the breath is hurt." Therefore, when inhaling and exhaling, you should easily and slowly leave room for it. Do not force the hard call, make the inhalation too full, and exhale too much. When holding the breath and stopping the gas, gently stop it and slowly connect it. Do not use too much force or hold it for a long time.

3, breathing and breathing is an important part of Health Qigong

Health Qigong is a national traditional sports project with its own physical activities, breathing and breathing, and psychological adjustment as the main form of sports. Breathing and breathing is a symbolic feature of Health Qigong. It is the fundamental point that distinguishes it from other sports. In a certain sense, Health Qigong is the effort to breathe.

Qigong: A method that can do two things at your own pace, called Qigong. The two gases are the essence of Qigong and the fundamental difference from other sports. Two gases are two different physiological states, one is the combination of heart and mind, that is, the super low oxygen state, and the other is to mobilize the true gas, that is, the super bioelectric state.
