belly. Follow its movement, focusing on the point "sea of ​​breath", it is also a "false cauldron" or "lower cauldron". The "sea of ​​breath" point is located 3 - 3.5 phalanges of the index, middle and ring fingers below the navel in the midline of the abdomen.
3. The movement of the breath. Inhalation - is made by the stomach, the chest and shoulders do not rise and do not change their position. On inhalation, the abdomen expands and inflates. Exhale - the stomach is drawn in, selected. Inhalation and exhalation are equal in duration and there are no delays between them. Inhalation and exhalation are compared with inlet and outlet. Breathing is through the nose. The mouth is closed, the teeth are tightly closed.
The inhalation should be such that after it you could take another small inhalation, and after exhaling another small exhalation. In the process of breathing, no more than 70-80% of the volume of the lungs is filled. it помогает избежать излишнего перенапряжения живота при дыхании.
Breathing should be smooth and slow. Convulsive and abrupt respiratory movements should be avoided; at first, there may be an urge to yawn.
Inhale and exhale count to 4-8. 4 counts inhale, 4 counts exhale or 8 counts inhale and 8 counts exhale. The average duration of inhalation or exhalation reaches 15 seconds. On 5 and 6 methods - up to 30 seconds. Inhalation and exhalation constitute one respiratory cycle.
WHAT YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION
one). You need to start by taking the right position. When you can sit quietly in the position described above, only then can you move on to the study of breathing.
2). During inhalation, the sphincters of the anus and urethra should be relaxed. During exhalation, these sphincters should be compressed. Women, together with the sphincter of the anus, compress and relax the labia majora and labia minora. The sphincters are compressed without tension.
3). The muscles of the body should be as relaxed as possible.
four). There are 5 points in the mouth - three on the upper palate and two on the lower jaw. Three points of the palate - points along the midline of the palate from the central upper teeth - the first between them (there is a small tubercle - the incisive papilla) is a point of air (metal), the second is the deepest place of the arch of the hard palate - the point of fire, and the third - at the transition of the hard sky into a soft - water point. Points of the lower sky - the first at the base central lower incisors, the second - along the midline between the central lower incisors at the transition to the floor of the mouth. On inspiration, the tongue is located at the base of the lower front teeth in the midline of the face. During inhalation, the tongue descends along the midline to the point of transition of the lower gum into the floor of the mouth. During exhalation, the tongue returns to its original position.
5). According to qigong theory, our body is divided into two halves along the midline of the body. One half Yin, the other Yang. In men, the right nostril is Yang, the left is Yin, and vice versa in women. The fact is that our nose breathes unevenly. For one hour, the right nostril breathes more freely than the left, then both pass the air evenly, and then the left nostril predominates. This cycle happens all the time. When we have a cold, this cycle is broken. In winter, yin prevails in nature. Therefore, in winter, the Yang nostril breathes more often than the Yin. Yang dominates in summer. Therefore, the Yin nostril is more active in summer. In summer, one should practice breathing during the activity of the Yin nostril or at a transitional moment. If you have no other time, and the Yang nostril is active, then you should drip nose drops to expand the desired nostril and bring the nose into a state of balance. In winter, they breathe during the activity of the yang nostril (right). On the other hand, if you are weak, after an illness, or have spent a lot of energy, then it is permissible, if the situation occurred in the summer, to use the Yang nostril. Also, if you are overexcited, nervous, experienced stress, then it is allowed to use the Yin nostril in winter.
SHORT DESCRIPTION
- sitting position;
- breathing through the nose;
- breath - the stomach expands, inflates;
- the tip of the tongue from the gums in the region of the central lower incisors along the midline of the lower jaw descends to the point of transition of the gums into the floor of the oral cavity;
- sphincters of the anus, urethra, labia majora relax and expand;
- exhale - the stomach is selected, retracted;
- the tip of the tongue rises to the base of the central lower incisors;
- sphincters contract, tense.
WHAT YOU NEED TO PAY ATTENTION
Teeth and lips tightly closed during breathing;
The muscles of the body are as relaxed as possible;
Breathing is performed smoothly and slowly;
Attention is concentrated on the "sea of ​​breath" point. We follow the expansion and contraction of the abdomen;
There is no delay between inhalation and exhalation;
Position body remains unchanged.
II LEVEL
New components are added to the breathing process.
While breathing, our attention shifts from the "sea of ​​breath" to the navel;
On inspiration, the coccyx stretches down and back, on exhalation - up and forward;
Not only the stomach swells, but the entire area around the spine in the region of 1-2 lumbar vertebrae. it достигается благодаря добавлению движений копчиком;
On exhalation, the perineum is compressed, and the testicles are tightened, and on the exhalation, the perineum is relaxed, and the testicles hang freely.
III LEVEL "ОГНЕННОЕ ДЫХАНИЕ"
We switch attention from the navel to the area of ​​​​the "true boiler". If you take the navel and the paired point of the kidneys (located along the edges of the lateral processes of 1-2 lumbar vertebrae to the right and left of the spine), and connect them together, you get a triangle. If a ball is placed inside this triangle, then this will be the "true cauldron". By tradition, it is placed 3-3.5 times the width of the phalanxes of the index, middle and ring fingers deep into the abdomen from the navel.
In the process of breathing, the area of ​​​​the "true boiler" inflates and deflates in you. There is an addition of a movement of the spine, which is called "a silkworm crawling along the stem." Imagine a worm or a caterpillar crawling up a stem. You must make similar movements with the spine. On the inhale, you stretch the spine, on the exhale, compress. It is necessary to achieve a feeling of stretching of the spine in two opposite directions.
On inhalation, air enters the nasal cavities with noise; on exhalation, it also exits with noise. This heats up your sinuses. You can enhance this effect by imagining that a powerful jet of fire is beating from your nose as you exhale. itт тип дыхания называется "огненным". It should be noted that breathing remains slow and smooth.
The first type of breathing strengthens the lungs, increases their capacity, increases physical strength and the appearance of jumping ability. According to the theory of the "internal immortality pill", all the necessary components of the pill are prepared in the cauldron. Sometimes they are called golden distilled cinnabar. And the area of ​​​​the "true cauldron" is called the cinnabar field. Warming up the cinnabar field with the help of breathing, we create conditions for the opening of the so-called microcosmic orbit.
COMMENTS
During practice, rumbling in the abdomen may occur. it будет говорить о том, что ваш котел пробуждается. If the stomach swells, pain or discomfort appears, then this indicates that you are practicing incorrectly. To remove side effects, you should forcefully press the nail of your index finger on the "sea of ​​​​breath" point and release it sharply. It is necessary to do several such movements to relieve discomfort. You can prick the "sea of ​​breath" point with a needle or any sharp object.
2 WAY
"REVERSE BREATHING" "BREATHING OF A SMALL CELESTIAL CYCLE OR MICROSPACE ORBIT"
(therapeutic and health-improving and preparation for the practice of combat breathing).
Duration 90 days, 30 minutes daily.
Breathing is carried out through the nose;
Compared to type 1, inhalation and exhalation are reversed. On inhalation, the abdomen, sphincters, perineum, spine contract, on exhalation they expand;
On inspiration, the tongue rises to the base of the central lower incisors, on exhalation it falls down.
Attention is conducted as follows: inhalation from the navel along the midline of the abdomen goes down to the perineum, to the sacrum, then along the back surface of the spine rises to the top of the head. Exhale from the crown along the front surface of the spine down to the navel. The described path is called the "small celestial cycle" or "microcosmic orbit".
The concept of "attention" means that you imagine how, with inhalation, a certain current or liquid rises from the navel through the spinal column to the top of the head. To enhance the effect, it is recommended to raise your eyes up as you inhale and lower to the feet as you exhale.
Breathing strengthens the heart and limbs.
3. "BREATH OF THE GREAT CELESTIAL CYCLE" "MACROCOSMIC ORBIT"
(180 days for 30 minutes daily)
Peculiarities.
Inhalation is carried out through the nose - exhalation through the mouth;
Breathing goes according to the second type;
On inspiration, the tip of the tongue is located in the region of the air point at the base of the central upper incisors. On exhalation, the tongue is located at the base of the central lower
