How to get started with Qigong??? How to practice qigong for beginners

The introductory thing is not something that can be explained clearly in theory, so if you find a true Dharma teacher to learn from you, you will naturally get started.

But now that the major religions are in the end of the Dharma, they are all gone, and the cultivation methods such as Buddhism and Taoism are all confused and lost, and they can't save people, they can't go up in cultivation, and the monks, Taoists, and monks are all unable to protect themselves, so who do you go to learn from?

Except for the True Buddha who will come down to save people, no one can fax the Dharma.

The contact methods and key points for Qigong beginners are as follows:

To practice qigong, first of all, we must work pranayama, body, and mind. Alignment is the conscious control of conscious activities, which is the central part of qigong exercise. Its basic requirement is to be pure in mind and have few desires, eliminate distracting thoughts, and achieve a state of tranquility.

Difficulty in meditation is a major obstacle to the initial practice of qigong, because meditation is related to the effect of practice, so beginners often seek to be quiet, which is impatient, the more you practice, the more annoying, and the more difficult it is to enter meditation.

Meditation is to change cranky thoughts to quiet thoughts through mindfulness, and then to be thoughtless, quiet and happy, and leisurely. Mind keeping is to concentrate on a certain part of the body or a certain activity, or to think about something that is beneficial to the body. The most commonly used method of keeping the mind is to use the breath combined with the intention to keep the dantian.

Dantian refers to the Qi Sea Cave under the umbilicus, which is not a point or a surface, but a sphere. The combination of breathing and Yishou dantian is called qi through dantian.

The general method of qi through the dantian is: abdominal breathing, that is, the diaphragm descends and the abdominal pressure increases when inhaling, so that the lower abdomen bulges outward, as if qi is inhaled into the dantian through the lungs; When exhaling, the lower abdomen retracts, as if the breath is exhaled from the lower abdomen through the lungs. Pranayama is to consciously control breathing, and its basic requirements are "fine, quiet, even, and long", and gradually achieve silence.

In and out of the continuous, existential and dying situation. + When practicing for the first time, be sure to be natural, not reluctant, and slowly achieve from sound to silent, from short to deep. It is best to practice the method of "Qi through the Dantian", as for the luck method of "Big Zhoutian" and "Little Zhoutian", you will gradually learn it after you have a certain amount of skill.

Luck refers to the use of deep and long breaths and closed breaths to lead the qi with the mind, open up the meridians, and follow the qi to run the week. In ancient times, this was also called "holding the breath", "inducing the breath", "walking the qi", "luck", etc. If luck attacks the affected area, treating oneself is called "Xingqi"; If luck goes out and sends out qi to treat others, it is called "cloth qi".

Adjusting is the conscious control of the body's posture and movements.

Adjustment is generally divided into "walking, standing, sitting, lying and doing". All five conditions must be done in conjunction with mindfulness and pranayama. The general requirements for adjusting the body are to untie the belt widely, comfortable and natural, informal, to be fair and unshakable, pay attention to the road, breathe through the dantian, exhale and lift the anus, and inhale and relax.

Stand, feet parallel to the same width as the shoulders, knees slightly bent, torso straight, chest and abdomen, arms half raised forward, elbows and wrists bent like holding a ball, eyes half-closed staring at the end of the nose, and then pranayama, meaning to guard the dantian.

For example, "three-round standing pile + sitting, there are two free-style and cross-knee styles, choose a chair, stool or bed of appropriate height, sit with both feet on the ground, legs apart and shoulder-width apart, hands stacked together in front of the lower abdomen, eyes half-open, look at the nose, or hands together like a Buddha, eyes half-open fingers + cross-knee sitting, there are single cross-knee, double cross-knee and natural cross-knee. A single crossed knee is to place one calf on top of the other.

Beginners practice once a day when they are most awake. Practice time: 15 30 minutes; Those who are proficient in the practice can increase the practice time several times, and extend it to 30 to 60 minutes each time. Practitioners must know that practicing martial arts is also cultivating the mind, and profound skills require high morality.

One thing that is very important in the cultivation of internal strength is whether or not you think that there is really qigong in the world, as a practitioner, you must be sure of this, and at the same time, you must know that qigong is a kind of fitness exercise, exercising the body to enhance the physique, but it is not a universal special function.

Believe without superstition, cultivate piously and treat it objectively, just like the Confucian idea of moderation, impartial, calm and frank. Why do we practice Qigong? For exercise, or is it fun to be curious?

Qigong is more dangerous for people with low emotions, because Qigong will work with the influence of personal emotions, and low emotions or pessimistic emotions and difficulty in self-control will lead to internal qi chaos, poor qi and blood and dull complexion.

Of course, we practice qigong more to carry forward its benign side, qigong is through psychological adjustment, in order to cultivate the mind, self-awareness of the energy in the body, in the case of obvious feeling to let this energy drive the whole body qi and blood to run, so that their body is healthy, the profound skills can also let the true qi penetrate the skin of the body to affect the true qi of others.
