700 Chinese Exercises to Treat and Prevent one00 Diseases

Foreword

The human body is filled with qi energy. There are many types of Qi, the most important being "true qi". It consists of three elements: innate energy received from ancestors; qi obtained from food; qi inhaled from the air. Keeping the inborn qi in the best shape and continuously circulating the qi you consume is a delicate process. And good health indicates that the process is not disturbed. Traditional healing practice (reflexology techniques, concentration of thinking, breathing and motor exercises) helps to maintain balance in the body, that is, it stimulates the passage, harmonization, timely replenishment of energy or a surge of excess energy.

True qi in the body manifests itself in the entrance, exit, ascent and descent. The place of qi manifestation is hollow and dense organs, channels, meridians and other systems.

In all systems, qi undergoes changes and becomes inherent only in these organs and channels. To strengthen the qi of organs and systems, it is necessary to increase the concentration, promotion and accumulation of true qi. Traditional healing practices are designed to facilitate the intake of true qi and ensure that it flows continuously through the energy meridians of the body. The basis of health is the continuous passage of qi along the energy meridians of the body and the unhindered movement of blood through the blood vessels. The rhythm of the movement of qi coincides with the need of the body - if the body consciously or physiologically changes the rhythm of life, the movement of qi and blood can speed up or slow down. But sudden (pathogenic) stagnation of blood and qi will lead to disease.

Qi is as material as blood. Blood and qi energy flow through different channels, but there is an important interaction between them: "qi is the source and teacher of blood." By the force of qi, blood moves, and qi can generate blood, that is, stimulate the process of hematopoiesis in the tissues of the body.

But the converse is also true: "blood is the mother of qi." Because the function of qi in body parts, organs and systems will stop if the blood flow stops. Qi energy is the key to the proper functioning of the body, and blood is nutrition and strength, thanks to which the body is able to respond to the effects of qi. If there is no harmony between blood and qi, sickness and pain arise. Pain tells us where the blockage of blood and qi has occurred. And the ancient canons teach which meridians need to be influenced in order to renew the flow of qi in a painful area. The energy, in turn, will increase blood flow.

This book will help you create a single complex for the treatment of a particular disease from the elements of reflexology, concentration of thinking, breathing practice and dynamic physical exercises.
