How does Tai Ji Chuan practice gas?

1. Guide the internal air to run through the rack.

Tai Ji Chuan has a series of movements, commonly known as shelves. Shelf is the expression of previous exercise experience in posture. A shelf can always be created through repeated practice and summary in many aspects. It is the entry ladder for exercisers, because tangible is more studious than intangible. In addition to martial arts, shelf is similar to some qigong movements, which is to guide the internal qi and blood operation through external movements. Wu Yuxiang's "Thirteen-style Mind Interpretation" said: "With the heart, things are calm, and things can converge on the bones, but with the pneumatic body, things are smooth, but it is convenient to be satisfied ... The spirit needs to be exchanged, and it is interesting to live round ... The qi is like a zigzag bead, invincible (called qi all over the body) ... You can breathe and then be flexible, and the qi is straight and harmless. The heart is the order, the gas is the flag ... the abdomen is slack and gathers in the bones ... affecting the gas to stick to the bones and gather in the spine. " Therefore, the posture of practicing boxing must be correct and the rules must be observed. Only in this way can we achieve the effect of practicing boxing. Wang Zongyue's "On Taiji Biography" "Thirteen Songs" days: "Qi stays in the whole body ... The air in the abdomen is relaxed and natural ... The spirit is coming to the flesh and blood." The ancestors of Taiji told us that if we want to let the qi penetrate the whole body, the posture must be smooth up and down, and the strength must not be reversed. Many famous boxers don't talk about theory, but practice their airs seriously. There is good kung fu because the shelf embodies the law, including body, use and qi. Satisfied with practicing routines, but not demanding accuracy, the results are not great, and even practicing boxing for many years does not feel angry.

Wang Zongyue's On Taiji Biography said: "From familiarity to understanding, from understanding to class god." Shelves should not only be accurate, but also cooked. Dong Yingjie, a disciple of Yang Chengfu, said that boxing should be practiced at least three times at a time: the first time to practice muscles, the second time to correct posture, and the third time to add shape and meaning. After proficiency, there will be intention at first hand and progress will be faster. Boxing situation is correct; If you exercise seriously again, you will gradually produce a cycle of internal qi flow from the beginning of the operation, from the initial abdominal fullness to finger hemp's swelling and fainting, and then to the whole body qi. Comrades who are interested in practicing Tai Ji Chuan must first understand the shelf and seek the correct posture, otherwise it will be a waste of effort and the loss will outweigh the gain.

2. Mobilize the operation of internal qi through the change of yin and yang deficiency.

Some people say that the essence of Tai Ji Chuan lies in the use of the word "virtual reality". The change of yin and yang's deficiency and excess is reflected through the correct shelf, especially in the initial stage of boxing practice. At the beginning of Wang Zongyue's On the Biography of Taiji, he said: "Taiji is born without promise, and the mother of Yin and Yang is also." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the normal life activities of human body are the result of harmony between yin and yang. Yin and Yang of human body are interactive, interdependent and relatively balanced. Yin advances and Yang retreats, while Yang advances and Yin retreats. Too much and too little will lead to diseases. In terms of physical exercise, Tai Ji Chuan strives to achieve a balance between yin and yang. Its means is to make qi and blood flow around the body through the constant change of excess and deficiency. Boxing promotes pneumatics, qi urges limbs to move, eyes move easily, hands move with eyes, feet are stable, left and right hands are as agile as dragons. For example, when the fist moves, the left leg is solid and the right leg is empty, and when the posture is changed, the right leg is solid and the left leg is empty. Because of the constant shift of the center of gravity, the left leg is solid for a while, and the right leg is weak for a while, so that qi and blood also change and flow around the body. When practicing boxing, as long as you pay attention to the relaxation of your mind and distinguish between the virtual and real changes of the shelf, you will feel the flow of qi and blood in your body, thus gaining a round and vibrant interest. There are three kinds of virtual reality: front and back, up and down, left and right. Furthermore, virtual reality and real reality are needed. Virtual, not completely powerless: real, not completely occupied. In detail, a foot should be divided into virtual reality, a finger should also be divided into virtual reality, and even every cell should be divided into virtual reality. This is "a place has a virtual reality". At the same time, it is dominated by Tian Dan, which is changeable, so it is also called "there is truth and falsehood everywhere at all times". When you practice to this state, you will "move qi like zigzag beads, everywhere" and the movement of qi in the body will be like Taiji diagram. There is a saying in Cheng Er's quotations in the Song Dynasty: "Those who have a longevity test must have a deep vein of blood." . Since the breath is long, it has its own functions of promoting dirty valves and self-massage. Viscera is strong, what disease is that?

3. Promote internal qi movement through breathing.

Breathing is the expression of qi. Tai Ji Chuan not only inhales and breathes through the nose, but also uses the abdominal reverse breathing method, that is, when inhaling, the abdomen is sucked backwards (Mingmen point), and when exhaling, the abdomen is released from back to front. This is an internal skill, which is consistent with practicing nature after qigong and taking nature as the day after tomorrow. When inhaling, the acquired qi drops and the innate qi rises. When inhaling, the acquired qi rises and the innate qi falls. Through this kind of abdominal breathing, it can promote the rise and fall, opening and closing of middle qi, and achieve the purpose of refining qi. In Tai Ji Chuan's Qigong, every style is combined with breathing, and suction yin calls Yang, taking one and spitting another. People who have a certain attainments in practicing boxing can feel qi and blood flowing to the heart and Mingmen point as soon as they inhale, and flow to the limbs as soon as they exhale.

Tai Chi emphasizes life, while Qigong emphasizes abdomen. The abdomen is full of qi, which can penetrate the last three levels and go straight into the mud pill. When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, we should always pay attention to the pivotal role of Mingmen, which can get twice the result with half the effort. Mingmen point is the center of gravity of the whole body, which can be held in all directions. Power penetrates the backbone, and power is generated by the backbone. Mingmen point is the source of power during exercise. Push forward, support at Mingmen point: draw together and then pull at Mingmen point. When you are full of energy, it is the source of personal explosive power. Since then, the high-spirited spirit and strength of the throughput and opening and closing in and out, the balance of the whole body can be adjusted. Know life knows Tai Chi.

Tai Ji Chuan's abdominal breathing comes from breathing and breathing, so it is also required to be thin, even, deep and long. However, boxing potential includes technical attacks, so its actions have certain dimensions and trends. It is necessary to understand the ups and downs of the transition of the shelf and the transition of storage and development, so as to be well combined with breathing. At that time, when breathing and shelves are not easy to match, you can first draw some shelves with clear opening and closing, such as repeatedly practicing the pressing action until breathing is smooth, until the qi rises and falls up and down, and the feeling of shaking back and forth is obvious. And then match the whole set of boxing. Beginners of abdominal breathing, combined with posture exercises, must be natural, do not go against the breath, or take a deep breath. Otherwise it is harmful. Qi can be practiced, but more importantly, it depends on it. "Qi is harmless if it is cultivated directly". Practicing Tai Ji Chuan is a method of invigorating qi. If you try your best to make qi, it will go against nature and easily hurt the internal organs.

4. Command internal gas operation through consciousness.

The most important principle of practicing Tai Ji Chuan is "meditation" (Gu Tai Ji Chuan). The intention of Taiji to convey luck is not intentional luck, so it is inflated and sluggish. Therefore, Wang Zongyue's Work Theory puts forward that "the heart should be used to guide qi, and everything should be calm." When practicing Tai Ji Chuan, let qi spread slowly between the inside and outside of the same flesh and blood. As the saying goes, "I feel angry." It means to guide Qi to go with you, and get what he wants, and he will get what he wants. If you want to move left and right alternately, qi moves alternately with the left and right hands and feet; If you want to turn around, you will turn around. Qigong emphasizes mental exercise, adjusting one's state of mind, keeping concentration, being calm, and eliminating distractions, from fasting to forgetting. Taijiquan uses consciousness to guide actions, and acts with heart, effortlessly. God is a coach and a driver. The whole body is concerned about breathlessness, with the intention of leaving. Both emphasize the leading role of the commander-in-chief of the mind. They all have strict posture and movement requirements, especially Tai Ji Chuan's movements have changed a lot. The concentration of consciousness and spirit is the guarantee to complete the overall coordination of movements.

Tai Ji Chuan is a family-run boxing method of Wudang Gate, so there is a saying that "God is more important than form" in practicing boxing. They all emphasize that the mind is dominant, the spirit should be smooth and rich, the spirit should be empty and condensed, and the body should be both rigid and soft, so the boxing posture should be calm and the mind should be quiet. If the mind is restless and can't be calm, it will be ineffective, and the qi can't converge to the bone. "Heart is the command, qi is the flag", which is the best interpretation of the heart. Practicing Tai Ji Chuan can't be like sitting still, your body can't move to get angry, because there are many moves in boxing. Therefore, the heart moves with the movement, thus driving the qi and blood to run. For example, when doing a single whip, the intention is to reach the left hand from the right hand through the back, so that some qi and blood will reach the left hand through the shoulders, elbows and wrists at will, and when the left hand reaches the fixed point, the knuckles will feel bloated. This is the blood flowing in the body. Pay special attention to your eyes when you practice boxing. Eyes are the windows to your soul. When you see them, you will know what they mean, and your anger will follow. Therefore, Chen Xin, a theorist of Chen Taiji, said: "Internal qi starts from one heart, travels in the bone marrow of limbs and fills the skin of limbs." This shows that Tai Ji Chuan used consciousness to direct the operation of internal qi.

Both Tai Ji Chuan and Qigong talk about "Qi", but this "Qi" is not breath, but refers to the "true qi" of the human body, which is the combination of the inherent "vitality" of the human body, subtle nature and natural qi. An intelligent development skill promoted the day before yesterday is called "shape-spirit pile", which is a combination of shape, qi and spirit, although it focuses on the training of shape. This method is well combined with Tai Ji Chuan. For example, when Tai Ji Chuan rises, he squats under his knees and presses with two palms at the same time, but he can press the ground with his hands, attract a master and sink his breath into his abdomen. Another example is the mustang's mane formula, which can connect the weather to the brain and ground the gas at the same time.

5. Achieve the effect and experience by practicing boxing.

I have been practicing boxing 10 years. After several years of exercise, hypertension, heart disease and gastric atrophy have been cured. Makes me strong. Full of energy. Although I am seventy years old, I have black eyes, rosy face and optimistic and cheerful mood. I realized that if you want to practice Tai Ji Chuan well, you must first get rid of your distractions and practice your spirit. Only in this way can you really practice boxing. The so-called "indifferent to nothingness, the true qi is from it, and the spirit is inside." This is a fact. Second, practicing boxing must be persevering. Perseverance. Angel said, "All persistence will pay off sooner or later." I kept this sentence in mind and always insisted on hitting Tai Ji Chuan. It's not easy to be hot and cold in the morning, it's rainy and snowy, and it's very busy. I insist on hitting Tai Ji Chuan every morning. Thirdly, practicing boxing is suitable in a quiet garden hall or a quiet and fresh place to relax and concentrate, which is conducive to practicing Tai Ji Chuan well. To be exact:

If you want to hear the wonderful things of rebirth, I advise you to play Tai Chi every day.
