Breathing is with us all our lives, and only those who breathe have vitality. Breathing is what we have been doing. Even when we sleep, our respiratory system is still working tirelessly. Breathing is a normal physiological phenomenon and an important way to keep fit.
For most people, breathing is a very simple thing that everyone can do. In fact, to achieve the healthy effect of invigorating qi, you still need to master certain skills. Now I will share with you the most effective method of invigorating qi-abdominal breathing health care method.
The so-called abdominal breathing method means that the abdomen bulges when inhaling and sinks when exhaling.
It's easy to learn. You can stand, stand, sit or lie down at any time, but lying in bed is better. Lying on your back in bed, wearing loose clothes, relaxing your limbs, concentrating your thoughts and eliminating other thoughts can also be said to have entered the qigong state. Inhale slowly through the nasal cavity, bulge the abdomen, hold your breath as much as possible for 10~ 15 seconds each time, and then exhale slowly, breathing 4 times per minute.
Main point: suck your feet in and spit them out. Don't be distracted. The idea is in a breath.
Just now, when practicing abdominal breathing, you can practice very comfortably without deliberately reaching every breath between 10- 15 seconds.
The duration of abdominal deep breathing is controlled by individuals. For obvious effect, you should generally practice breathing for at least 2 hours. I remember when we first started to learn Chinese medicine, the master asked us to practice for at least 4 hours every day, which is the basic skill of learning medicine. At that time, I got used to it quickly, and it was easy to calm down inside. After only half a month's practice, I felt a heat flow through my stomach and bladder meridian. I feel full of gas.
When the mood is complicated, don't practice abdominal breathing, let your restless heart calm down with slow breathing.
I remember a few years ago, when my career was in a bottleneck, I put down everything in my hand and spent a quiet Sunday alone, sitting, meditating and deliberately practicing abdominal breathing for a long time to calm myself down.
Static energy leads to stability, and static energy leads to wisdom.
When people can calm down and think, often the solution and direction of things have come to mind.
Regular practice of abdominal deep breathing exercises can make people approachable, smooth blood and achieve the effect of invigorating qi. Can make the body get enough oxygen, but also meet the brain's demand for oxygen, making people energetic.
Practice abdominal breathing can also be combined with chest breathing, is it an alternating movement of the respiratory system? . If you can persist in doing abdominal deep breathing every day for many years, you will receive the miraculous effect of "inadvertently inserting willow into the shade", strengthen your body and prolong your life.
When you start to exercise abdominal breathing, you don't have to carve for the duration of breathing and sucking. As long as you can calm down and get rid of other thoughts in your heart, your thoughts are in Dantian (that is, the point of Qi Hai that we often say).
Qihai point is the name of Renmai point, which is located at 1.5 inch below the navel of the abdominal midline. When taking acupoints, you can take the supine position. This acupoint is located in the lower abdomen of human body, connecting navel and pubic bone in a straight line, and divided into ten equal parts, from the position of navel 3/ 10, that is, this acupoint.
Qihai point is a place where vitality gathers, which can only be replenished but not vented. Qihai acupoint is a kind of health-care acupoint, which has a good health-care effect for both men and women. Ordinary health care can make the qi and blood trapped in the abdomen smooth through moxibustion or massage with wormwood leaves, and finally achieve the purpose of treatment. It has a good effect on treating irregular menstruation and abdominal pain.
When you start exercising, you can calm yourself down and devote yourself to breathing. After practicing for a while, I feel that I will soon enter a static state, and I can slowly increase the duration between breaths. At this point, try to keep breathing 10- 15 seconds.
For healthy people, the time of holding their breath can be appropriately extended, and the breathing rhythm should be slowed down and deepened as much as possible. People with relatively poor health can not hold their breath, but they should breathe enough. Practice 1-2 times a day, sit, lie down, walk and run until you sweat. Try to inflate and deflate the abdomen 50- 100 times. If oral liquid overflows when breathing, you can swallow it slowly.
During abdominal breathing, the diaphragm will drop and the abdominal pressure will increase. Feel the air enter the abdomen directly. At this time, if you put your hand on your navel, you will feel your hand rise and fall with the frequency of breathing.
Misunderstanding of breathing: most people, especially female friends, mostly use chest breathing, but the ribs move up and down and the chest expands slightly. Many alveoli at the bottom of the lung have not fully expanded and contracted, so they can't get good exercise. In this way, oxygen cannot be completely delivered to all parts of the body. After a long time, there will be different degrees of hypoxia in various organs of the body, which will lead to many chronic diseases.
Therefore, learning to breathe can effectively increase the oxygen supply of the body and purify the blood. Improve vital capacity, improve heart and lung function, and make lung tissue stronger.
Abdominal breathing exercise also has an excellent regulating effect on the stomach. It can improve the function of spleen and stomach, soothe the liver and benefit the gallbladder. Abdominal breathing can reduce blood pressure by reducing abdominal pressure, which is very beneficial to patients with hypertension.
Abdominal breathing is generally used for health care. Because the deeply inhaled oxygen is two to three times higher than normal, it can also be used to treat diseases. If you feel uncomfortable in any part of your body, you can put your hands on it and practice abdominal breathing.
Of course, the treatment of different diseases should be accompanied by drugs and carried out under the guidance of doctors.
