Dear friends, have you noticed that with each breath you take, where do you draw it?
If your breath only goes to your lungs, then it’s just to keep you alive. If your breath goes to your kidneys, that’s the real way to keep you alive.
Ancient Chinese medicine believes: breathing into the waist, all diseases eliminate! Why is that?
For the continuation of our life and the functioning of the viscera depend on the flow of qi. The qi of the five viscera, the six viscera, the meridians and collaterals, the muscles and muscles… Our limbs, our whole body, all moving with the spirit. The implementation of any of the functions of the zang-fu organs is all the performance of the rise and fall of qi.
Then, this one qi, is how come, is how to lose cloth? Let’s start at the beginning.
A body of qi is the essence of water and grain from our spleen and stomach and the breath of heaven and earth from the lungs, which are mixed together to form the main qi in our chest.
Our ancestral qi is like the sky above, and it is scattered all over the place, while the vitality of man is as boundless as the earth. This zong qi and yuan Qi merge to form one qi. After a body of qi fusion generated, and distributed in the zang-fu organs, the formation of zang-fu meridians of qi. Therefore, our zong Qi, must be along the three focal points, downward blending into the vitality to complete the mission.
So, how does our zong qi descend? It depends on the lung’s purging function. What is the descent of the main lung? In addition to the function of the lungs themselves, another important factor is our kidneys.
It turns out that our kidney, Chinese medicine believes that there is the ability to seal and hide. The performance of the sealing energy, in addition to the fixation of ejaculation, there is another, is to absorb the qi. Kidney qi is strong, absorb qi to have a root, then the ability of lung descending can be carried out normally. If the kidney is not right to receive gas, then the purge is less than. Therefore, breathing this matter, must be “into the waist into the kidney”, it is the best. In this way, it means that the kidney plays its role in absorbing qi, lung qi can be lowered, Zongqi can be lowered, the vitality can be nourished, the whole qi can be circumfluence. The flow of qi around the body is normal, the function of the zang-fu organs will be normal, our body will be healthy. This is the so-called “breathing into the waist, all diseases.”
How, then, can such an end be achieved?
We ordinary people, the simplest way, is to take a deep breath, deep breath when, not only the chest expansion, waist, especially double kidney place also want to be strong expansion, feel like the air into the waist, make the breath far-reaching and long, good maximum extent play the effect of the kidney to accept the breath. In this way, can let zong Qi downward, in the integration of vitality. We take deep breaths 200 times a day in a place where the air is fresher, and over time, this can have unexpected health benefits. Unfortunately, it’s so rare in life to take the initiative to do so. Most people just breathe. This has to be a pity.
How do you breathe deep to your waist?
This has to talk about abdominal breathing, in fact, the ancient Chinese medical experts have long recognized that abdominal breathing has a unique curative effect, so created “vomit”, “turtle rest”, “qi shen Dan Tian”, “fetal rest” and other fitness methods.
Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, particularly praised belly deep breathing. He practiced the method of regulating qi from dawn to noon every day, lying on his back on the bed, stretching his hands and stretching his feet. He held his thumbs four or five inches apart from his body and his feet four or five inches apart, and counted the teeth and drank the jade liquor (saliva). After that, the air is drawn through the nose into the abdomen until it is fully inhaled. After a long period of suffocation, the air is carefully exhaled from the mouth until it is exhausted. Then the air is drawn through the nostrils into the chest and abdomen. This deep belly breathing, exhaling the old and admitting the new, makes people feel refreshed.
Ming Dynasty health care home Leng Qian in the “Xiu Aging gist” written health sixteen words: “a suction then lift, gas return to the umbilicus; a lift then swallow, meet fire and water. This sixteen word secret, including the levator anus, pharynx, abdominal breathing three kinds of health training methods, is a magic weapon to dispel diseases and fitness for a prolonged period of time.
Belly breathing is wonderful
People’s breathing forms are divided into thoracic breathing and abdominal breathing. Thoracic breathing mainly relies on the contraction of intercostal muscles to drive the thoracic cage, thus affecting the lungs for breathing. Abdominal breathing refers to the upper and lower movement of the diaphragm to expand and contract the chest, intercostal muscle movement as a supplementary breathing. In contrast, abdominal breathing compensates for thoracic breathing and has many benefits.
First, exercise alveoli, increase vital capacity.
During chest breathing, lung capacity is small and lung tissue utilization is low. Only the alveoli in the upper half of the lung are working, while the alveoli in the middle and lower lobes, which account for four-fifths of the whole lung, are in the state of “rest”. Breathe for about 5 seconds at a time and inhale about 50D of air. Years like this, and the middle and lower lobectomy is not exercising, disuse for a long time, easy to make the lung aging, elastic, respiratory function is poor, vital capacity, so they can’t get enough oxygen, also can’t satisfy the needs of various tissues and organs of oxygen, affect the body’s metabolism, the body’s resistance drops, susceptible to respiratory diseases, especially the elderly pulmonary degenerative disease of the infringement of the middle and lower lobectomy, OuGan cold prone to lung infection.
Therefore, chest breathing is not good for the lungs. Abdominal breathing, credit, breathing after muscle activity increased range, up and down the chest volume get maximum range extension and retraction, breathing is about 10 to 15 seconds at a time, that sucks in air from 1000 to 1500 ml, maximize the lung tissue, in the middle and lower lobectomy of alveolar ventilation is a healthy exercise, can improve the blood circulation in the lungs, thereby preventing pulmonary fibrosis, delay aging, maintain good elasticity, increase the lung capacity, can make the body to get enough oxygen, with blood and spread in the whole operation, and can meet the needs of the brain of oxygen, make people energetic. Due to the enhancement of lung function, the phagocytosis and clearance ability of pulmonary immune cells to dust and germs are virtually enhanced, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of various lung diseases.
The second is to promote abdominal movement, prevent a variety of diseases.
We know that the potbellied “belly fat” is a hotbed of a variety of metabolic diseases, such as can insist to do abdominal breathing exercise, with the rhythm of the belly bulge and retract, can make effectively exercise abdominal muscles, eliminate accumulation in abdominal subcutaneous fat, improve lipid metabolism in the body, prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver disease.
Tips: Abdominal exercise during abdominal breathing is an excellent regulation for the whole digestive tract, promoting the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, facilitating the operation of qi and blood in the abdominal cavity and mesentery, enhancing digestion and absorption functions, speeding up the excretion of feces and toxins in the intestinal tract, and preventing chronic constipation, internal and external hemorrhoids, colorectal cancer and other diseases in the middle-aged and elderly people. Abdominal breathing can also be sweet liver gallbladder, improve liver function, promote the secretion of bile, fatty liver, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, chronic hepatitis have a lot of benefits.
Third, dredge the channels and collaterals, strengthen the brain, calm the mind and promote wisdom.
The spleen meridian of the human body, the kidney meridian of the foot shaoyin, the stomach meridian of the foot Yangming, the ren meridian, the belt meridian and other meridians pass through the abdomen. Dozens of acupoints are all over the body, especially the Shenque point (navel), which is the hub of the movement of the body’s meridians one after another. Abdominal breathing is a good exercise for the meridians, which is conducive to the operation of the meridians and the circulation of the meridians, and maintains the stability of the internal environment. Especially when doing abdominal breathing, the spirit of single-minded, meaning to observe the field, in this state of Zen joy qigong, life rhythm orderly, the brain of excitement and inhibition of a harmonious balance, which is of great benefit to the prevention and treatment of neurasxia, depression, insomnia and other diseases.
Fourth, improve pelvic blood supply and enhance reproductive health.
Abdominal movement during abdominal breathing improves blood circulation in the pelvic cavity and enhances the health of the reproductive system. If the abdominal breathing method in the cis respiration, reverse respiration and the movement of the levator anus together, will have more kidney-tonifying strong essence, delaying gonadal senescence. It plays a certain role in preventing ovarian, uterine inflammation and male prostatic hyperplasia.
Abdominal breathing
Abdominal breathing has two kinds of breathing methods, cis and inverse, cis breathing, is to inhale the belly out, exhale the belly back; Reverse breathing refers to the contraction of the belly on the inhale and the expansion of the belly on the exhale. Abdominal deep breathing is easy to learn. It can be used to stand, stand, sit, or lie down. It is feasible at any time, but it is better to lie in bed. Lying on the bed, loosen the belt, relax the body, thinking focused, eliminate distractions, also can be said to enter the qigong state. If you do cis breathing, slowly inhale through your nose, slowly expand your belly, one breath each hold for 10 to 15 seconds, hold your breath for 1 second, and then slowly exhale out of your mouth, 4 breaths per minute. The length of deep abdominal breathing is controlled by the individual or combined with chest breathing, which is an alternate movement of the respiratory system. Up to two deep abdominal breaths a day throughout the year is best.
