Benefits of practicing qigong
One: delay the aging of human organs
Huangdi Neijing says: healthy qi exists, but evil cannot be done. Modern research also proves that practicing Qigong can enhance human immunity, prevent diseases, preserve health and strengthen the body, eliminate physical and mental fatigue, restore physical strength and energy, and improve work efficiency. With the development of society, people's daily life is getting faster and faster, and their psychological tension is getting higher and higher. Long-term psychological stress will reduce the body's immunity, cause physiological dysfunction, and even lead to functional or even organic lesions. Therefore, they are good at learning to relax in a timely manner in a tense rhythm. Qigong exercise has just effectively played this role. Practice has proved that people who practice Qigong for a long time are not easy to get tired. They always feel energetic at ordinary times and seldom suffer from diseases such as colds.
When people reach middle age, organs will begin to age, and when people reach old age, organs will age or get sick. One of the main reasons is that blood circulation is blocked. For example, high cholesterol, hyperlipidemia, high blood viscosity and atherosclerosis can cause arteriosclerosis and poor blood circulation, which belong to the category of qi stagnation and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. Practicing qigong can reduce people's blood viscosity, cholesterol and blood lipid; It can enhance the function of human internal organs and delay the aging of human internal organs.
Second, cultivate temperament
Practicing qigong emphasizes the cultivation of mind, that is, optimizing people's mood, will and personality. Practice tells us that when Qigong is in a quiet state, people will experience great pleasure and comfort, not only physically but also in a very comfortable mood. The whole body and mind are immersed in a transcendental artistic conception. Long-term adherence to qigong exercise can play a role in cultivating sentiment, broadening mind, cultivating will, shaping sound personality and enhancing psychological adaptability.
Third, develop people's intelligence
Through qigong exercise, you can quickly eliminate brain fatigue, enhance energy, attention, sensitivity, memory and thinking ability, and thus improve the level of intelligence. Experts believe that Qigong may become an effective means to improve human intelligence.
Fourth, improve human immunity.
After practicing Qigong to a certain extent, body fluids in the mouth increase, and saliva contains a variety of immune cells, which can enhance people's immunity. Through scientific research and testing, it is found that compared with the control group who does not practice Qigong, people in Qigong group have more immune cells in their blood and their immune ability is enhanced. These experiments can prove that there is a scientific basis for people to reduce colds, infections and diseases of the elderly by practicing Qi.
Five: promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to improve human blood circulation
Through scientific experiments, it is observed that the nail fold microcirculation of exercisers has improved. Compared with before Qigong, the capillary loops of nailfold increased and the open loops increased, indicating that practicing Qigong is beneficial to human blood circulation. The improvement of human blood circulation can prevent many diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis and cerebral blood supply insufficiency. At the same time, practicing Qigong can also improve the physiological state of organs that have formed blood stasis, such as myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and early cirrhosis.
Six: dredge meridians and drive away evil spirits.
Many qigong practitioners have experienced the reaction of qi rushing to the focus. For example, when patients with headache are practicing, they will feel swollen and jump when qi passes through meridians. When the meridian passes, some people will obviously feel a warm current passing along the meridian, and the headache will disappear. People who have been practicing for a long time without diseases have more channels to be unblocked when using instruments (meridian detectors) than those who do not practice Qigong or those who are sick, which shows that practice can make the channels more unblocked. There are many channels and collaterals blocked by patients. Through practice, the meridians can be gradually opened part by part, so that people's diseases will be cured.
When the human body's meridians are gradually unblocked, some diseases will be released, such as cold wind, hot wind, numbness, etc. from the diseased part or parts along the meridians related to the diseased part. The patient is getting better and better in the process of discharging sick gas. For example, people with a cold stomach have a cold and stomachache. During qigong or when they accept the efforts of others, they may release cold air from the stomach cavity or lower limbs. After a while, the stomach cavity will be warm and the stomach will not hurt. This shows that qigong can help people get rid of sick gas. For example, people with fever, inflammation, diabetes, and hypertension with hyperactivity of liver yang will all emit hot air. But people with liver-qi disorder and some cancer patients will release numbness and so on. Practicing Qigong or letting out foreign qi by others can make people's meridians unblocked and expel evil qi from the body, thus making the internal organs tend to balance yin and yang. This is the process of qigong treatment.
Qigong is a kind of physical and mental exercise method with the means of regulating heart, qi and body, preventing and treating diseases, strengthening body and prolonging life, and developing potential. Self-adjustment means adjusting psychological activities, breathing movements, body posture and movements. These three tones are the basic methods of qigong exercise and the three major elements or basic norms of qigong discipline.
