1. The simplest way to replenish qi: clap your hands in the morning

Clapping is very simple, but the effect is not simple.

Clapping is a very positive health-preserving method, and its main function is to replenish qi. The hands are the base camp of yang energy, and the feet are the base camp of yin energy. There are 39 hand acupuncture points. Clapping your hands can vibrate Yang Qi and promote the movement of Qi throughout the body.

Why shoot in the morning?

Because the sun has just risen in the morning, the yang energy between heaven and earth begins to accumulate slowly, and the yang energy in the human body also begins to rise with the rising sun. With humans matching the sky, clapping your hands at this time can promote the release of yang energy. Lifting hair is beneficial to the circulation of Qi throughout the body.

Emperor Qianlong lived a long life and wrote many poems, but there were very few good poems. One of his poems was about the relationship between hands and Qi and blood: "The sun and moon are spinning in the palm of my hand, and time is about to flow back. , the whole body's Qi serum, when does it turn white?" From a literary point of view, this poem by Emperor Qianlong is not praiseworthy, but from a health perspective, this poem is very valuable. He said that the secret of health and longevity is hidden in the palm of a person's hand. If you master this secret, the years will turn back. What is this secret? That's clapping. Clapping your hands can dredge the qi and blood all over the body. When the qi and blood in the whole body are serumed, when will there be gray hair? Although Qianlong's poem is a bit exaggerated, clapping does have an extraordinary effect of replenishing Qi.

There are twelve meridians in the human body, six of which are connected to the palm of the hand. They are the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the Hand, the Heart Meridian of the Hand Shaoyin, the Pericardium Meridian of the Hand Jueyin, the Small Intestine Meridian of the Hand Taiyang, and the Shaoyang Meridian of the Hand. Sanjiao meridian and Hand Yangming large intestine meridian. Meridians are the channels of Qi, connecting the internal organs. If the meridians are blocked, the flow of Qi will not be smooth, and people will get sick. Clapping your hands can clear the six major meridians at the same time, and its role cannot be underestimated.

Why clap and shout at the same time?

Our body is not only material, but also spiritual. The human spirit can be divided into three levels. The first spiritual level is hidden in the human brain and is called consciousness. People often use It comes to think about money, beauty, and power; the second level of the spirit is hidden in the human heart, and at this level, people often have emotions such as tranquility, worry, and fear. The third level of spirit is hidden in the human liver, which is called the soul in Chinese medicine. The "Huangdi Neijing" says that "the heart hides the spirit and the liver hides the soul."

In Western terms, God and soul are equivalent to human subconsciousness. In the conscious world, what people need is thinking; in the subconscious world, people need tranquility, love and gratitude. Consciousness can bring us wealth, and subconsciousness can bring us health. For example, when a person sleeps, the consciousness in the brain rests, but the subconscious mind in the heart and liver is still working. It directs your stomach and intestines to still digest, and directs your blood to still flow.

Therefore, if the body wants to be healthy, it must allow the subconscious mind to work normally. At the same time, human consciousness can also influence the subconscious mind. One of the ways for the conscious mind to influence the subconscious mind is through suggestion. For example, if you keep repeating a certain sentence to give your body a hint, over time, this sentence will be transformed from consciousness into subconsciousness, directly entering the heart and liver, thereby affecting our body. People in the park keep shouting "the whole body is smooth and all diseases are free", which is a hint. Over time, this consciousness will transform into the subconscious and affect our whole body. Therefore, human thoughts are sometimes more effective than the best medicine.

2. Basic clapping method to replenish qi

Separate the ten fingers, palm to palm, finger to finger, and slap evenly. Remember to separate the thumb from the other four fingers to avoid clapping excessively and causing congestion. You can tap lightly at first and then gradually increase the intensity. As much as your hands can bear, but not too lightly. Otherwise, it will not be able to stimulate the acupoints and reflex zones on the palms.

It is best to clap in the early morning. If you feel that the noise made when clapping is too loud and unacceptable, you can also clap with "hollow palms". Arch your palm and spread your fingers. When you pat down, you can pat the fingertips and the edge of your palm.

However, the striking surface of this method is reduced, so the effect will be worse, so the beating time will be relatively longer.

In addition to the most basic palm-to-palm slap, you can also slap the back of the left and right palms to each other, slap the tiger's mouth to each other with the left and right hands, bend the palms of the two hands to slap each other, hit the palm of the other hand with the knife of one hand, and hit the tiger's mouth with the palm of the hand, Make fists with both hands. Don't underestimate these small actions, they are very important. As long as you read the picture of acupuncture points and reflex zones on the palms carefully, you will understand that every small movement is aimed at one or several important acupuncture points and reflex zones. Stimulating them can open up the meridians and ensure the smooth flow of Qi and blood.

3. Advanced clapping method to replenish qi

(1) Pat the back and spine gently with the back of the palm

Each section of the spine has acupuncture points on the Du Channel. The Du meridian is one of the eight extraordinary meridians of the human body. It has the function of regulating the qi and blood of the yang meridian. It can not only resist external evils, but also warm and unblock the meridians and moisturize the internal organs. Make fists with both hands and gently tap the Mingmen point on the Du Channel on the back with the back of your hands. This can replenish qi and kidneys, strengthen the waist and yang, and support righteousness. If you can tap the acupoints on the bladder meridian on the back at the same time, the effect of replenishing qi will be more obvious.

(2) Pat the upper part of the coccyx and the outside of the left and right buttocks with the backs of both hands

The end of the coccyx is called "Wei Lu" in Taoism. It is the starting point for opening up the Du Vein, and the Immortal Bone is on it. . Tapping here can strengthen the Qi in the Du Vessel, thereby promoting defecation. Friends with constipation can try this method, it is simple and effective.

Then use the left and right palms to tap the midline of the left and right buttocks in turn, which is where the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang passes. Tapping the bladder meridian is helpful for diuresis. Finally, take turns to pat the outside of the buttocks, which is where the gallbladder meridian of Foot Shaoyang passes. Patting here can promote bile secretion and improve the digestion, blood supply, and detoxification functions of the liver and gallbladder.

Many ladies who love beauty always complain about dull complexion and spots. In fact, this is caused by toxins in the body. Use this method to tap every day to replenish the Qi of the Du Vein, promote defecation, and remove the toxins in the body. The toxins are discharged, the body is cleansed, and the skin naturally becomes white and translucent, exuding a moving brilliance from the inside out.

(3) Pat the abdomen gently

Pat the abdomen gently with the left and right palms. There are several meridians passing through the abdomen: Ren Meridian, Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian, Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian. Taking turns to tap here with both hands can help strengthen the spleen, stomach, liver and kidney qi. The Ren meridian circulates in the middle of the abdomen, oversees the yin meridians of the whole body, and is responsible for the body's essence, blood and body fluids. If the Ren vessel is not smooth, problems in the genitourinary system will occur, such as irregular menstruation, impotence, hernia, pelvic mass, etc. Regularly tapping the Ren channel on the abdomen can stimulate the secretion of human sex hormones and regulate the human vaginal meridians, thus delaying aging. Patting the abdomen gently is beneficial to liver and gallbladder diseases, genitourinary system, digestive system, nervous system, eye diseases, etc. Some people always subconsciously thump their waists when they have back pain. In fact, back pain is probably caused by the poor circulation of Qi and blood in the liver meridian. If you insist on patting your abdomen gently, you can improve and cure the symptoms of back pain.

(4) Make a fist with one hand

Make a fist with one hand and open the other hand. Using the fist can strengthen the muscles and bones of the palm, thereby strengthening the peripheral nerves of the hand to strengthen the muscles and bones of the hand. Circulation of Qi and blood throughout the body. When doing this action, you must coordinate your steps and hold your fist while walking or stepping. Nowadays, people have cars when going out, go upstairs and take elevators, and have fewer and fewer opportunities to walk. Their feet become weak. Insufficient Qi in the six meridians on the feet will lead to a decline in the functions of the liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach, kidneys, and bladder.

Human feet, like hands, also have many reflection areas, which lead to the internal organs of the whole body. If the qi and blood in the foot reflex area are blocked, diseases will occur in the corresponding organs. If you practice clapping while walking, your hands and feet can get massage stimulation, which is a very good way to maintain health and cure diseases.

4. Zhanzhuang qi replenishing method

There is also a simple qi replenishment method - Zhanzhuang

"To wash the bone marrow, start with Zhanzhuang." "Get up", zhanzhuang is a posture that can mobilize the qi of the whole body and promote the circulation of qi and blood.

Zhanzhuang can not only maintain the mind, but also exercise the body; it can not only strengthen the brain, but also increase the physical strength. Many people may think that the zhanzhuang you are talking about is just the squatting horse stance. Who can't do it? How can it be so magical? The squatting horse stance is a type of zhanzhuang, and there are many types of zhanzhuang. Don’t underestimate this stance. “One moment of stillness is worse than ten thousand movements, and one station is worse than ten thousand exercises.”

When a person is young, the lower burner is generally stronger and the upper burner is weaker. The upper burner refers to the heart and lungs, and the lower burner refers to the liver and kidneys. When the upper part is empty and the lower part is strong, Yuan Yang is sufficient, the head is clear, and the person is full of vitality. It's like a clear sky with light wind and light clouds and green trees on the ground. However, in old age, people will gradually become weak in the lower Jiao and strong in the upper Jiao. If the upper part is weak and the lower part is strong, and the head is light and the feet are heavy, the person will feel refreshed; if the lower part is weak and the upper part is strong, and the top is heavy and the feet are light, the person will be drowsy. Therefore, Chinese medicine believes that deficiency in the upper part and excess in the lower part is a sign of good health, while excess in the upper part and deficiency in the lower part is a symptom of illness.

Why do people become more real than others?

This is because the flow of qi is blocked, and the qi is concentrated in the upper part and does not fall. Of course, the upper part is full, and the lower part is of course empty. Heaven and earth are a large universe, and the human body is a small universe. The laws of the human body follow the laws of heaven and earth. Between the heaven and the earth, the clear air rises and the turbid air sinks. In the human body, the clear air rises and the turbid air sinks. In the human body, the upper part is deficient and the lower part is full, so between heaven and earth, the upper part is empty and the lower part is full. If the ground below becomes empty, the forest is deforestation, and the water and soil are lost, then the sky above becomes solid, and sandstorms will cover the sky.

So how to improve this situation? The country's policy is to plant trees, so that the lower parts will be solid first. When the lower parts are strong, the upper parts will naturally become weak. The same principle applies to health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine. To lower the heart and lung energy in the upper burner, you must first enrich the liver and kidney energy in the lower body. One way is to stand. The key to Zhan Zhuang is the word zhuang. Zhan means to stabilize the lower part of the body and give it a sense of rooting. You stand there motionless, with your head in the sky and your feet on the ground. Your body has roots first, and then the qi in your body will automatically and slowly return to its original position. What should rise will rise, and what should fall will fall. The clear qi will rise, and the turbid qi will rise. After a long period of time, the body will return to a state of virtuality at the top and solidity at the bottom. This is like a glass of turbid water. The more you stir it, the turbid it becomes. If you let it stand still, light things will float up and heavy things will sink. After a while, you will see a clear glass of water. bottom water.

When standing, bend your elbows, raise your arms, and bend your knees to squat. The purpose is to lower the center of gravity of the body and enrich the lower part. When the lower part is enriched, the kidney essence will be enriched. When the kidney essence is enriched, the Zong Qi will flow smoothly. , the qi of the heart and lungs decreases, and the qi of the liver and kidneys rise. In this way, people enter a state of deficiency in the upper part and excess in the lower part, and they can live a long and healthy life. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" has a specific discussion on zhanzhuang: "Grasp the yin and yang, breathe the essence, guard the spirit independently, and the flesh and bones are one, so you can live long enough to cover the world..."

Thousands of years of practice have proven that, Zhanzhuang is one of the best ways to replenish your vitality. When the vitality is full, a person will be strong and have the ability to resist all diseases. Many healthy people have been standing for a long time and enjoy a long life. And some frail and sick people can also benefit from it through zhanzhuang. Zhanzhuang can not only dredge the meridians, reconcile qi and blood, make yin and yang intersect, accelerate metabolism, but also strengthen the functions of various organs, organs and even cells, and has a good effect on many chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, Obesity, hyperlipidemia, gout, etc.

The most basic method of replenishing qi in the standing position

What I will introduce to you here is the most basic method of replenishing qi in the standing position. Before practicing Zhanzhuang, you should empty your bowels and loosen your clothes and belts. It is not advisable to practice one hour before or after meals.

1. Feet: Stand with your feet in an "eight" shape, lift your hands to your chest, your feet should not be too wide, your heels should be slightly wider than your shoulders, and your toes should be about the same width as your shoulders.

2. Head: The head should be upright, with the upper part of the head held high and the lower chin slightly tucked in. The mouth is slightly closed, the tongue is touching the roof of the mouth, and the expression is calm. Keep your eyes level, breathe naturally, and relax your whole body. Make the whole body's Qi balance and smooth.

3. Hands: Relax your fingers naturally, as if there is a balloon in the middle. Hold it and hug it carefully with both hands. The arms should be rounded and hugged into a semicircle with the body. The position of the hands should start You can lower it a little, and then slowly raise it, but the hands should not be higher than the shoulders and lower than the navel.

4. Shoulders: Relax your shoulders, do not tighten them, and do not lift your shoulders. The shoulders should be slumped naturally and relaxed. At this time, the collarbone and chest are a little heavy, so when the shoulders are loose, they need to be pushed outward on both sides. Some people sweat and their hands feel cold after standing for a long time. The reason is that their shoulders and elbows are not relaxed and the flow of Qi is blocked. Therefore, before practicing Zhanzhuang, you should shake your shoulders and turn them back and forth in a relaxed manner.

5. Knees: The knees are slightly bent, the knees cannot pass the toes, the roots of the thighs are empty, and it is like sitting but not sitting.

6. Body: Keep your upper body straight and do not slump your waist or hips. Hold your chest slightly and straighten your back. Abdominal relaxation micro-retrieval. The perineum is lifted up, and the tail is drooped and pointed to the ground. When the perineum is lifted upward, the qi can rise. In conjunction with the Baiyang Ling, the upper and lower qi machines are connected into a whole. Only when the qi machines are balanced and have sufficient internal content, can the tall and handsome figure "standing like a pine" and the strong inner qi appear. posture. When the Qi in the body is sufficient and unobstructed, the body will naturally become shorter. When squatting, the knees should not pass over the toes, so that the stance will be more effective and stronger. But you must pay attention to the drooping of the tail, otherwise the Qi in the body will only rise but not fall, and the Qi machine will surge up. Loss of balance will lead to an increase in blood pressure.

Maintain this posture, try to relax your whole body, don’t think about anything, and let your energy and blood flow naturally. Usually stand for at least 30 minutes. When you start practicing Zhan Zhuang, you will feel very strenuous and your knees and thighs will feel sore. Some people still shiver. This is a normal reaction and it doesn’t matter. The trembling will subside and you will be fine. When your legs are sore, you must persevere and endure it for a while. The soreness is because your body has insufficient Qi and is unable to support the weight of your body. At this time, you can use your mind to feel which part is sore and what method to sore. The qi will follow your thoughts. When your mind reaches the sore part, the qi will be injected into this part. When the Qi in this area is gradually sufficient, the pain will disappear, and your body will squat lower and more stable. Everyone must keep in mind that although it saves effort to stand up straight, the straighter it is, the less effective it is. If you can squat lower, try to squat lower. Of course, don't force yourself to sit down when you squat, just lower yourself to a certain level.
