The similarities and differences between Guiding and Yoga

Yoga has been familiar and widely practiced by the public, but how to practice the essence of traditional Chinese sports, the art of guiding, what precautions should be taken in practicing and what are the suitable people for practicing? These may not be too familiar with the public, yesterday I had the honor of inviting the National College Yoga Expert Committee Vice Chairman, Neijiang Normal College lecturer - Ye Lianzi teacher, to popularize the similarities and differences between yoga and guided art, so that everyone's understanding of the guided art a step further.

Ms. Ye has more than ten years of experience in teaching and imparting yoga, and also practiced artistic gymnastics since childhood, is a national-level athlete and referee, has a deep understanding of imported yoga, but also very familiar with the traditional Chinese health movement, and is compiling a book on traditional health movement. Her sharing of contrasts is systematic, objective, clear and precise. Ms. Yeh compared yoga and guided meditation in five major aspects: concept, origin, theoretical basis, main content, and practice methods.

Yoga originated in India and is a body-mind practice. From the perspective of practice yoga and fitness is different, fitness on the bones and muscles of the practice more, while yoga is more concerned about the inner, to quote Premier Wen Jiabao's sentence, "Yoga is the combination of the mind and body".

The art of guiding is derived from traditional Chinese labor, life, etc., built on the basis of Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism, yin and Yang, dirty phase, meridian science, five elements and other traditional doctrines, is the treasure of traditional Chinese culture. 1974, Changsha, Hunan Province, Mawangdui, No. 3, unearthed in the tomb of the Han Dynasty, the painting "guiding map", which 44 various figures of various types of images, each image is an independent guiding art, fully reflecting the time of guiding art, and the art of guiding. This fully reflects the diversity of the guiding technique at that time.

? Yoga has always been the inheritance of various schools of thought, and guidance is also one of the traditional fitness methods. Traditional Chinese qigong is a self-exercise that optimizes the body and mind through the use of consciousness, and there are many ways of practicing it, such as the Yi Jin Jing, the Five-Animal Opera, the Six Character Recipe, the Eight Duan Jin, the Taiji Health Staff, and the Mawangdui Guiding Technique, and so on. No less than 30 kinds of qigong exercises, such as "Yangsheng", "Guiding", "Tuna", "Shouyi" and so on, are the ancient names of qigong, although they are the same as "Guiding". Although "qigong" seems to be more popular than "guiding" and "tui na", it is also more likely to cause some misunderstandings, so now the state is vigorously promoting the following "

The introduction of qigong, the art of guiding, is more in line with the needs of the times.

Guiding, meaning "guiding qi to make and lead the body to make soft" meaning. Guiding art is the body movement, breathing movement and the idea of movement of the three organic combination to exercise the human body functions, and yoga, regulating the body, regulating the breath, regulating the heart has the same flavor. Yoga and Guiding are both modern methods of health maintenance, suitable for the general public, and practitioners are free to choose according to their own age, experience, and hobbies. Any kind of practice is to make us healthier, have a high quality of life, and make the process of life more colorful.

Again, I would like to thank Ms. Ye Lianzi again for her selfless sharing! And thank you all for reading and participating!
