? The difference between intelligent qigong and other qigong
? When it comes to the characteristics of intelligent qigong, the difference between intelligent qigong and other qigong is scattered. Here, the main differences are summarized as follows.
? First, intelligent qigong starts with the change of human nature.
As mentioned above, the martial arts of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism in the past were basically closed martial arts. First, the essence, qi and spirit are sealed in the body, and then extended to the exchange of qi with the outside world. Its training method is from the inside out and from the inside out. As far as Taoist alchemy is concerned, it is necessary to practice on a small Sunday until the essence in the body condenses to a certain extent, and then practice on a big Sunday, collecting large medicines and pills, and exchanging gas with the outside world after the baby leaves the body. Then the "baby" takes back the body to nourish it, making it fill the pores of the whole body, and finally crushing the void, that is, crushing the separation between man and nature, making the inside and outside transparent and the nature integrated. However, intelligent qigong is an open method, which starts from the division between heaven and man at the beginning of practicing, combines its own qi with natural qi, unifies itself with the environment, and forms a whole, and practices with the help of the unity and aggregation of heaven and man. Openness here contains three meanings, namely, the opening of qi, the opening of acupoints and the opening of consciousness. Qi-qi resuscitation is to connect one's own qi with natural qi, with external qi (natural qi) restrained and internal qi (self-qi) released. Through the exchange of qi between man and nature, the essence of qi can be purified, and finally the advanced realm of harmony between man and nature can be achieved. The exchange of qi between heaven and man is carried out through acupoints, orifices and acupoints of the human body, so the opening of qi-moving machine is bound to be accompanied by the opening of acupoints. First of all, points such as Tianmen, Tianmu, Baihui, Shenque, Mingmen, Laogong and Yongquan are open. Among them, the opening of Tianmen is particularly important. In the past, Kaitianmen was once regarded as a sign of intelligent work, which is of course not comprehensive. In addition, small holes such as eyes, ears and nose can also be opened. Everyone who practices intelligent kung fu has this experience. Whenever you make progress in kung fu, you always feel uncomfortable here and painful there. This is the reaction of opening acupoints. If not, it hurts. If the acupoints are unobstructed, the pain will disappear. However, new acupoints and acupoints will be washed away, resulting in new reactions. In this way, step by step, step by step, gradually get through the acupoints and orifices of the whole body, and integrate our own qi with the qi of nature. By practicing the first step, release the internal qi and collect the external qi. At this time, the gas exchange between people and the outside world is mainly in the shallow layer of the human body, that is, the membrane net. Then, through the steps of going to Shenzhuang, Wuyuanzhuang and later midvein mixing, midline mixing and muddy returning, the communication with nature will be deepened step by step through meridians, viscera, midvein and midline. It is transparent from the outside to the inside and from the outside to the inside, thus achieving humanity. This is one of the main differences between intelligent qigong and other technologies. Although intelligent qigong also talks about meridians and Sundays, it is not practiced. Practicing meridian health is to mobilize the true qi to move in the meridians with ideas, thus increasing the intensity of the true qi running in the meridians. It is to enhance the circulation of qi according to the route of big and small sundays. Intelligent qigong does not use ideas to enhance the movement of qi in meridians, but to strengthen the lateral communication between meridians. Meridians are connected with large and small collaterals, such as large collaterals, collaterals and taiyang collaterals. Through these collaterals, the meridians are connected horizontally, thus strengthening the smoothness of the whole body's qi circulation and making the whole body's qi merge into one. Or irrigate the land with water. One is canal irrigation, which is a metaphor for human meridians. The water in the canal is a metaphor for the qi of meridians, nourishing the land and nourishing the whole body. The other is flooding everywhere, the whole land is full of water, and the role of ditches is not obvious. Through the lateral flow of qi, the qi of the whole body can be smoothly filled, and it is not necessary to focus on the role of meridians. Knowing the difference between them, we can understand why we can't mix meridians and Sunday exercises into intelligent qigong.
Second, emphasize dynamic work.
In the past, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism generally emphasized the cultivation of static work, which was an advanced achievement method and dynamic work was a low-level achievement method. Intelligent qigong holds that static work and dynamic work have the same primary and advanced stages, with special emphasis on dynamic work. The reasons for attaching importance to dynamic work are:
1. Practicing static kung fu, if you can really enter a static state, can effectively promote the changes of human function, but it is extremely difficult to really forget it. Every breath, or every heartbeat, will excite your mind. Therefore, according to the requirements of Taoism, it is the advanced static state, rest and pulse feeling that we must remember. Not only can there be no thoughts in the brain, but breathing stops and the heart does not beat, so that the brain is not affected by any internal and external stimuli and is in an inherent quiet state, and the whole life activity is in a very stable and orderly state. Buddhists demand that "the five elements are empty", that is, the activities of removing color, receiving, thinking, doing and knowing. However, even if you practice the Four Meditations and Eight Meditations, you can't completely eliminate these five connotations. It should be pointed out that only when the whole body is full of qi and blood can peace be achieved. As long as qi and blood are blocked and stagnated, the brain cannot be quiet. When qi and blood are not practiced, you meditate cross-legged. If you sit for a long time, you will feel sore, numb, painful and swollen, and the cerebral cortex will be excited, so you can't calm down, which will inevitably affect the practice effect. Buddhists say, "All laws are born in the heart and all laws are destroyed in the heart." It is said that the body is dharma, and when you read it together, the body changes. In fact, it is often not the idea that comes first, but the body stagnates and makes the brain think. There are two sentences in the modern qigong book "Lecture Notes on Meditation": "Sit quietly and realize the Tao, and your awareness is in communication." It is pointed out that enlightenment can be achieved by practicing martial arts to make the body transparent inside and outside, forgetting things and things, and leaving people empty. Huai Nan Zi said, "If the spirit is strong and the spirit does not disperse, it will be rational, rational, restrained, accessible and general." It means that the qi in all parts of the body is evenly distributed, and the whole body is connected, which can reach the realm of God. In view of this, intelligent qigong focuses on communication and attaches importance to achieving and strengthening the patency of qi and blood throughout the body through dynamic exercise.
? 2. In order to achieve a higher health gradient, it is necessary to make the whole body full and smooth, that is, to increase the flow of the whole body. On the one hand, it can increase the air flow rate of the existing air compressor channel, on the other hand, it can open up a new circulation channel. Practice can not only enhance the flow of the original channels, but also help to open up more channels, and have both.
? 3. To practice Qigong to a high level, we should not only practice a knowledge-free mind, but also a knowledge-based mind. A person sitting in a room practicing acrobatics is practicing mental skills without knowledge, keeping inner peace in contact with the outside world and practicing mental skills with knowledge. Only when you devote yourself to practicing according to the achievement method, and at the same time you are in contact with the outside world, can you keep your spirit single-minded and peaceful at all times, and can you keep the spirit of neutralization in the body, and your spirit is nothing more than transcendence, thus improving the orderly degree of brain cell activities and greatly enhancing the ability of life activities. Therefore, the Taoist priest said, "There must be a response in everything, and there must be sex in everything. We must always be quiet and quiet. " When dealing with external things often, we always keep inner peace. Buddhism requires samadhi, concentration and inner stability of all behaviors. People who practice static kung fu practice a knowledgeable mind, that is, they can calm down after meditation, and then slowly extend the static state of practicing kung fu to contact with society and exercise. As mentioned above, open practice is the opening of form, spirit and spirit from the beginning, which requires practicing spirit in a quiet place and practicing spirit in a noisy place, which is conducive to improving the practice level faster. Therefore, the focus of intelligent qigong lies not only in the primary stage suitable for practice, but also in the advanced stage of practice.
Third, emphasize the active use of consciousness.
Any qigong practice process is an introversion consciousness application process. The difference between intelligent qigong and other qigong in the use of consciousness is that it does not emphasize emptiness and nothingness, but emphasizes the active use of consciousness In ancient times, practicing martial arts was mostly empty and quiet, and I can't forget it. Does intelligent qigong emphasize the active use of consciousness, which is contrary to ancient qigong? No, a careful reading of Qigong ancient books will reveal that the ancients did not completely give up their mental activities. There are 96 breaths on Sunday cultivated by Taoism. After giving birth to a baby, the baby should come back one step at a time, and everyone has ideas to move in. Buddhism's four Zen and eight decisions, from the first Zen to the second Zen, the second Zen to the third Zen, and the third Zen to the fourth Zen, are all abandoned. If you don't give up, you can't enter a higher level of Zen. They all use consciousness. Taoist practice requires true meaning, and it is necessary to discard the false and retain the true and keep the true heart. Buddhists should "view" and observe themselves and external things with Buddhism. Visible, Taoism and Buddhism are not completely give up mental activity, just mental activity than those vacillating ordinary people. Even at the advanced level. The appearance of Taoist "empty room produces white" also needs human consciousness to perceive. When there is nothingness in the brain, that is, when it is in a chaotic state, although spiritual life and spiritual sense are not displayed, they are already working. Furthermore, Hui Ling's consciousness is conscious. Buddhists demand to reach the middle way in the air and oppose emptiness. Taking common reason as "existence" and truth as "emptiness" all belong to "looking from the side" Only empty but not empty, wonderful in the air, there is not, unreal, and empty in the middle is the middle way. This "existence" is the function of self-awareness. Besides, the idea of "quiet" and "no distractions" in my mind is the use of consciousness. Intelligent qigong studies the conscious activities of ancient people's practice, grasps the fundamental key of ancient people's practice, and puts forward that we should actively use consciousness, not passively wait for silence, and require full attention and body movements. For example, in the external mixed element stage, the opening and closing of ideas and actions are coordinated to guide the opening and closing of internal qi and communicate with nature. The "Shen Zhuang" in the internal mixed element stage requires the unity of form and spirit, focusing on every movement. Every step in the future is to emphasize concentration and singleness. Intelligent Qigong emphasizes the active use of consciousness, requires concentration and singleness, and makes it conform to a certain mode of conscious activity, which is the basis of practicing Qigong. First of all, practicing Qigong, in the final analysis, is to exercise and improve the ability to mobilize the qi inside and outside the human body with ideas, so that physical and mental health, wisdom and ability can reach a level beyond ordinary people. The effects of qigong at all levels, such as eliminating diseases and strengthening the body, releasing external qi to treat diseases and using various special functions, can only be achieved by actively using consciousness. The concentration and singleness of ideas have played a role in enhancing the power of consciousness activities. Because a single idea activity is conducive to the synchronization of brain cell activities in the local brain, and the concentration of a single idea can make it orderly and universal, thus leading to the coordinated movement of the whole brain cell. This kind of coordinated movement will produce highly ordered and energy-condensed information energy flow, which, combined with the gas in the body, can form a powerful mixed air flow, which will have a great impact on human life activities. In recent years, research experiments on qigong effect and human specific functions, such as laboratory gas of Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, thousands of miles away from Guangzhou, can change the decay process of radioactive isotope americium 24 1; Tablets in sealed glass bottles can be taken out, bottles are sealed before, and so on. The key to the magical power of human beings that it shows lies in the active use of consciousness, which is the centralized role of consciousness. Secondly, the concentration of ideas and the so-called empty silence without thinking, these two levels of silence, * * * have nothing in common with other thoughts. From the perspective of modern science, it is the improvement of the order of brain cells. The realm of emptiness and tranquility is elusive, and there is no trace to follow in practice, while the mind is dedicated and specific, and it is easy to repair. Therefore, the ancients often used one thought instead of all thoughts to practice, which means concentration and singleness. Intelligent qigong refers to the specificity, which is fixed at a point and combines ideological activities with life activities, that is, the specificity of the unity of form and spirit. The specificity of the latter is the specificity of living. The change of mental activity is carried out in accordance with the laws of God's "being still, feeling connected", "being still and taking pictures" and "being still and taking pictures". If you practice like this, you can gradually reach the advanced level. In addition, Qigong science actively uses the extraordinary intelligence developed through practice to study and understand the relationship between human life law and nature, so intelligent Qigong emphasizes the active use of consciousness from the beginning to the whole process.
Fourth, emphasize the group effect.
Under the decentralized and self-sufficient small-scale peasant production economy, the ancients practiced Qigong alone, quietly, and taught skills one by one, which is called "the law does not pass on to Liu Er". Even between other disciples, "don't listen to the truth once in a while." Treatment is to treat according to each person's condition. This is determined by the economic foundation of the times. Based on the theory of mixed vitality, according to the characteristics of the times, intelligent qigong emphasizes the group effect of practicing and treating diseases, and adopts the teaching and treating methods that reflect the group effect-group collective teaching and collective treatment. In the human body, it can automatically regulate the qi of the human body without dialectical work and treatment. Therefore, healthy people and people with different diseases can practice the same skill together and receive unified treatment from qigong teachers, and can obtain different degrees of enlightenment, wisdom, physical fitness, treatment and other effects according to their own needs. Dozens or even thousands of people are together. Qigong teachers combine the mixed vitality of nature and the biological field with people in places with their ideas to form a powerful mixed vitality field. Everyone's form, qi and spirit in the venue oscillate and inspire each other under the unified thought (information) of Qigong teachers. In the orderly whole field formed by this group, it can produce immeasurable effects, and the effect of teaching merits and treating diseases is far from being treated by a single leaflet. People who have never practiced Qigong can learn to release external qi to treat diseases within a few days; Some patients, including fractures, deafness, long masses, tumors, etc., recovered quickly; Even the people in the venue used the idea to treat the sick relatives in the distance, and the illness of the relatives could disappear in an instant. Under the premise of qigong teacher's skill, the more people present, the greater the intensity of the field. From a macro point of view, the function of intelligent qigong is not limited to the time and place of teaching and treating diseases. The powerful gas field assembled by Qigong teachers can be likened to a huge magnet, so that everyone present is magnetic, and people with certain magnetism go to the group to teach Kung Fu, so that more people are magnetic. When intelligent qigong is popularized in a region, a certain number of people will practice it, which will form an aura of intelligent qigong in the region. The more people practice, the longer the time, and the more concentrated the gas field. Everyone who has the "magnetism" of intelligent qigong has identity with the whole intelligent qigong gas field in the local area and even the whole country, and can form a synchronous function. Therefore, whenever and wherever, as long as you concentrate on thinking about the aura of intelligent qigong, you can connect with the aura (the combination of thought and a certain material level can strengthen the role of the material level), and the powerful aura can be used for your long-term work, fitness and treatment. The gas field formed by group effect is enjoyed by every group member. Intelligent Qigong emphasizes and makes full use of group effect, which is one of the important reasons for its quick and good effect.
Five, the distribution of external gas treatment does not hurt Dantian gas, which is also the difference between intelligent qigong and other methods of external gas treatment.
This point has been mentioned in the "Characteristics of Intelligent Qigong". This is only put forward as one of the differences between intelligent qigong and other qigong, and the content will not be repeated here.
Ⅳ. Intelligent Qigong is a unique science to study human life and a great cause to benefit the people.
The study of intelligent qigong on human life is based on the fact that human beings are not only people in nature, but also people in society, which is unique from other disciplines. It studies the laws of human life activities (including its physical and chemical changes) and the influence of nature on human life movement, which belongs to the category of natural science and is the main content. On the other hand, it also studies the influence of people's activities in social life and interpersonal communication, such as consciousness activities, language communication and moral cultivation, on people's life activities, which belongs to the category of social science. Therefore, intelligent qigong is a unique science that studies the mysteries of human life on the basis of natural science and social science. Although philosophy is also a science that highly summarizes natural science and social science and studies outlook on life and world, it mainly studies things as a whole according to logical methods. Intelligent Qigong studies the law of human life movement from the objective reality, mainly studying various material movements of the human body, including consciousness and the relationship between man and nature. Moreover, because Qigong is a practical science, the establishment and research of Qigong science need to rely on the practice of researchers themselves and the masses. Practicing qigong is for scientific research, and qigong is for the benefit of the people, unlike other disciplines that serve the people after studying the laws of things. Intelligent Qigong has different functions such as preventing and treating diseases, strengthening the body, prolonging life, developing intelligence, cultivating temperament and developing potential intelligence. So when I practice, I am not only studying people's life activities, but also changing my physical and mental health. Popularizing intelligent qigong to the masses is a great cause aimed at improving people's physical and mental health and benefiting the people. Let's take a look at some statistics of the first year of Intelligent Qigong College (1989): Of the more than 3,300 students received in the 22-day training course of 14, 80% were all kinds of difficult and severe patients, and more than 90% of these patients achieved curative effects and relieved the suffering of many patients. In the four three-month refresher courses, * * * has 65,438+0,330 students, 40% ~ 60% of whom have developed their potential intelligence and have different degrees of special functions. Through the practice of students with different health levels, this college explores the law of human life movement from different angles, which in itself also benefits the people.
