Qigong : Natural Health Benefits

The ancient arts of wellness in Asia came from the two largest countries with the longest history of civilization. China and India. India gives us the Yoga. China brings us Qigong. Both yoga and qigong share the same principles of wellness, by harnessing the energy flow through proper breathing and by exercising the body. Both qigong and yoga enhance our natural well-being; they give us the natural health benefits without any side effect. Once we learn them well, they are completely free. We don't have to pay a cent to practise qigong and yoga. The best natural health activities are actually FREE. These are nature's gifts to all of us!
There are three fundamental pillars to good health and general well-being. They are healthy diet, physical exercise, and mental stability. If our mind is not at peace, our whole system will not function well, even though we may have good diet and have done our exercise. There is this “qi” or energy flow that pervades our whole body. If our mind is not stable, the flow of “qi” will not be smooth. In due time, the whole body immune system will be affected, thus inviting sickness. In qigong practice, the body is exercised, while the mind is concentrated on the breathing. There is synchronization of the physical movements and breathing. However, there are many qigong styles that do not emphasize on this synchronization. Nevertheless when one practices the movements, breathing becomes relaxed, and with this, the mind is relaxed too.
The most famous of all the qigong is Tai Chi. I would say in China alone there are millions practising Tai Chi every morning! There are many forms of qigong ranging from the very static type to the very graceful dance form. I have practiced at least 6 types of qigong.

Meridian "3-1-2" Qigong : The Most Suitable One

Here I like to share with you a very easy and simple type of qigong called the “Three-One-Two Meridian Technique.” Take your time to watch the Youtube presentation. Although it is in Chinese (Mandarin) there is no problem following the simple instructions as shown. Very briefly, the “Three” is about the 3 pressure points. (Remember to do both sides.) The “One” is the abdominal breathing technique. And the “Two” is the 2-step leg bending exercise.
I have my own peculiar way of practicing this qigong. While doing my “business” in the toilet, I do the “Three” and after my shower, I do the “Two.” Then when I go to sleep, I do the “One.” (LOL) Hahahahaha!!!!

"Zusanli"(足三里穴) is located on the leg, along the Stomach Meridian.

Since the the Stomach Meridian travels throughout the body from the head to the toes, not only digestive disorders but also other diseases such as : fever, headache, toothache, mental disorders, asthma, hypertension, cardiac vascular diseases, arthritis, jaundice, palpitation, urological diseases etc. can be treated by acupuncture or massage at "Zusanli". "Zusanli" has been accepted as the point of longevity.



In summary, massage of the three acupoints:
1. "Hegu" is for the arm and head,
2. "Neiguan" is for the chest, heart and lung,
3. "Zusanli" is for the lower limbs, vescera and bowels,
In this way, the whole body is stimulated and maintained in good health.

 The "1" of the 312 exercise refers to the exercise of abdominal breathing.  This is done for 5 minutes.
Lie or sit down with the whole body relaxed. Relax and concentrating your mind at the "Dantian"(丹田), the point at 5 cm below the navel. Breathe in and inflate the abdomen.  Stay for 5 seconds and the exhale, with the abdomen relaxing to normal position.,

There are at least 9 meridians passing through the lower abdomen. They are doubly symmetrical lines of the Kidney, Stomach, Spleen meridians and the central "Ren"(任) meridian. During abdominal breathing, following the movement of the abdominal muscles, all the 9 meridians would be activated. A lot of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, insomnia, diabetes etc could be prevented.
