practicing patting, tapping and all kinds of body vibrations.
Thanks to these exercises, energy “plugs” are broken through, energy is activated, and “dirty” energy is separated from “clean” and healthy.
If you strongly rub the skin on any part of the body, then energy will begin to activate and accumulate there. The accumulation and circulation of energy can be increased by imagining that you feel warmth, heaviness and pulse beats in this place. The simultaneous pronunciation of certain sounds and sound combinations enhances the effect.
During meditation of this kind, it is necessary to remember about correct breathing, because it is the main supplier of the energy of the spirit and helps to control the activities of our body.

Meditation "Taste of air"

This meditation is done outdoors, preferably in the morning, wearing comfortable and warm clothing that absorbs sweat well.
Using the natural desire to stretch and yawn to enter the atmosphere of the exercise, try to catch the sensation of pleasure that the body experiences, feel your whole body and begin to continuously yawn, stretch and take deep breaths. Succumb to intuition, taking exactly such postures in which you want to fixate at these moments. These can be deep deflections, enhanced by moving the arms as far back or to the sides as possible, tilting the lower back or bending the upper body, moving the legs back or to the sides, and much more.
At the time of posture fixation there is a delay in breathing after inhalation. Here it is important to feel the optimal duration of the delay, without bringing yourself to dizziness. Holding the breath is provided by intuitively accepted "locks" of the body (for example, when the neck is tense or the abdomen is drawn in), which should be removed smoothly to avoid sudden changes in the flow of internal energy.
After a while, you may want to perform massage movements (rubbing or pushing through certain areas) or some kind of finger impact with tension in certain muscle groups. Your attention will be focused either on the lower back, or on the hands, or on the legs, and the zones of activity will change accordingly.
When you massage the active zones, your movements will become relaxed and calm, you will begin to breathe deeply and evenly, you may begin to sway and feel the elastic flows inside you, which cause these swaying.
At this stage, it may seem to you that the air passes freely into all parts of your body, saturating not only the muscles, but also the deeper layers of the body, internal organs and bones.
If you are tired, you can sit in a comfortable position on a pre-prepared place and proceed to meditation. At this point, there should be no thoughts left in your head.
You can also take a recumbent position, such as the fetal position. If you fall asleep, you will wake up refreshed. Such a dream, even for one5 minutes, is more effective than several hours of normal sleep.
Breathing exercises

With the help of breathing exercises, you can influence not only the work of various organs and endocrine glands, but also the human psyche, manage your emotions. Breathing exercises особенно эффективны в сочетании с воздействием на биологически активные точки тела, аутотренингом, различными двигательными упражнениями.
To regulate the neuropsychic state and increase efficiency, as well as in critical situations, Shaolin monks practice special breathing exercises.
These exercises, which are a system of inhalations, exhalations and breath holdings, have a beneficial effect not only on the respiratory organs, but also on the central nervous system, circulatory, digestive, excretory, endocrine systems and the whole organism, since its functions directly or indirectly related to breathing.
The essence of breathing exercises is conscious control over the frequency, depth and rhythm of breathing. Since ancient times in Tibet, serious attention has been paid to breathing and it has been the subject of comprehensive study. The result of these studies has become the modern understanding of the methods used in kung fu.
According to the rules of anatomy, the rectus muscles run from the solar plexus to the lower abdomen. In combination with the lateral muscles located on both lower sides of the abdomen, they form a single part of the body. In the lower abdomen, on both sides of it, next to the two lower parts of the diaphragm, there are points of connection of the muscles, and it is there that, with the vertical position of the upper body, the center of gravity of the body is located. The kung fu breathing method teaches you to concentrate power in the lower abdomen.
In modern people, breathing is irregular, mostly weak, and this is what causes many diseases.
Diseases of the stomach and intestines, excessive corpulence, high blood pressure and hypotension, neurosis, etc. phenomena are largely prevented with the help of kung fu breathing exercises.
The kung fu breathing method is very useful - it serves the health and beauty of a person, creates balance in his soul and is indispensable for training.
This method is used during attacks, it is used to restore the rhythm of breathing, in addition, it is very important for kung fu.
Constant control over the state of mind and proper regulation of breathing are the most important success factors in achieving high fighting qualities. The effective use of breathing exercises improves performance and provides a good mental attitude. It is not for nothing that the sculptures of guardians in Tibetan temples have a closed and open mouth, which symbolizes the passive (inhalation) and the active principle (exhalation).
Inhalation must be done through the nose, and exhalation through the mouth, lips should be slightly parted. Inhalation leads to relaxation of the muscles, and exhalation leads to their tension. Therefore, during the fight, inhalation should coincide with the stage of relaxation and preparation for performing technical actions, and exhalation should coincide with the moment of attacking or defensive actions.
A good fighter is able to concentrate all his strength at a certain point of his body at the moment of contact with the body of the enemy or crushing any obstacle. It helps the strong concentrated exhalation, accompanied by a special cry.

Exercise "Impact breathing"

Impact breathing has two phases: inhalation (Yin), which is performed quickly (0.5–one s) and through the nose, and exhalation (Yang), which is performed more slowly (about 5 s) through the mouth and with great tension of the whole body.
Such breathing is intended for instant preparation for a fight, turning on the reserve capabilities of the body and restoring morale, or is used when breathing fails, to quickly relieve psycho-emotional stress, “self-resuscitation” after an unsuccessful fall or strong blow, as well as to suppress acute pain, exit from a semi-conscious state or elimination of intoxication.
Starting position: stand straight, place your feet shoulder-width apart and turn your toes inward, lower your hands down, clench your fingers into fists (Fig. one, a).
Raise your arms up, filling the lungs with air in the following order: first the abdominal region, then the diaphragm region, and finally the thoracic region of the lungs.
Having described wide arcs, cross your forearms in front of your chest, cover your ears with your thumbs (Fig. one, b) and take a deep breath so as to feel the pressure of the diaphragm on the abdominal cavity. Tighten the abdominal muscles first, then the armpits, and finally the tips of the index and middle fingers. Concentrate on focusing energy until the body begins to tremble.

Concluding the breath, clench your hands into fists, tighten the abdominal muscles as much as possible below the navel.
Spread your crossed arms to the sides and lower them down while exhaling through your mouth.
At the end of the exercise, with a sharp short exhalation, completely free the lungs from the air remaining in them.
The exhalation must be very powerful. It combines the furious hiss of a snake with the roar of a tiger. However, the vocal cords do not participate in this sound. At first, it can be performed quietly, gradually increasing power.

Exercise "Smooth breathing"

Smooth breathing is a method of cleansing and restorative breathing, which increases physical performance, normalizes the functions of the cardiovascular system, stabilizes psychological balance, well fills the body with oxygen and increases vitality.

Turn your hands palms up and pull them to your chest, pulling your elbows back, successively filling the abdominal and diaphragmatic parts of the body with air and accompanying this movement with a quick and deep breath through the nose.
Turn your hands with your palms down and slowly lower them (Fig. 2, b), with the utmost effort of the muscles, exhale as slowly, silently and deeply as possible through the mouth, while completely relaxing the body. The tip of the tongue is between the teeth.
Due to the large depth of inhalation and slow exhalation, diaphragmatic breathing reduces the heart rate, which, in turn, reduces the nervous tension caused by the combat situation. This breathing method is used to maintain even breathing during a fight and in cases where it is necessary to avoid attack or aggression from other people.

Exercise "Serene breathing"

Turn your hands palms up (Fig. 3, a).
Take a deep sharp breath and, bending your arms at the elbows, pull both palms to your chest (Fig. 3, b).
