Those who wish to nurture their lives must first learn the proper method of controlled breathing and balanced qi. These methods breathing can cure all diseases, large and small. "
Sunsimiao, the Tang dynasty.
All too often, as well as everyday life passes us, we forgot to do the most important component of life, we forget to breathe. Obviously I'm not talking about the cessation of breathing all together, no, it is compared to the correct breathing for health and longevity. We all breathe naturally - fortunately, our body has set the rhythm ', which allow us to breathe, sleep, pumping blood, sweat and so on. Most of us, however, does not have any of these functions is to their fullest extent.
There are a number of obstacles in everyday life that can lead to dysfunction of these natural rhythms. Stress, which often leads to anxiety, will cause shallow breathing and chest oppression. Pollution and poor diet or excessive medication leads to the cycle of bad breath and other illnesses. Holding, which in turn leads to a compressed breast ("closed" in the chest, and not "open" in the chest), which can cause shallow breathing, wheezing and other respiratory minute questions. Irregular breathing exercises such as chest breathing, poor instructions, and other various causes. All this and more can disrupt natural patterns of breathing.
in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, we obtain and maintain life through three basic products: natural foods we eat, water we drink and air we breathe. Food quality is of utmost importance for the quality of health. This includes how our digestive system function and proper nutrient absorption, metabolism and so on. This is the same for breathing - air quality, depth of breath, absorption of air into our lungs and our blood, and thus organs, skin and other vital objekata.Bolje we breathe and eat better we sleep, the better your heart will beat and we will live better. Healthier, happier, longer.
Chinese medical theory reached its peak in the early Han Dynasty in ancient China. The classic text known as Huang Neijing (or Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, written in the Han around 2200 years ago) knowledge of the body was formed. Of particular importance, and still in use today is the channel system of acupuncture (jingluo). When you breathe properly (as described below) will increase the amount of clean and pure Qi distributed at the channels. In simple terms a good part of the air we breathe will be distributed to the muscles, tendons, skin, hair, organs, etc (these are all places where channels come).
Why do we need to breathe? What is the proper breathing?
There are many variations of proper breathing. Depending on whether you follow a specific tradition (such as yoga or qigong) or may have up to date with modern research and specific tests. All breathing requires several vital components: the mouth, nose, lungs and diaphragm. This is the last structure that is most important for this article. When we engage the membrane provides a deep stretch, we are occurring in our belly. Often referred to as "belly breathing" due to the fact that when you engage in the membrane is, of course, mean that your belly sticks out a bit. The lower abdomen is called Dan Tien in Chinese and is often translated as "cinnabar field". This is an area of concentration, so that we make the proper focus of our breathing down, leading to a calming feeling which in turn helps with stress, posture, heart rate, digestion and circulation, of course. Breathing deeply into the belly, the participation of our membrane allows more oxygen to fill our lungs and therefore more nutrients from the oxygen that is distributed around our bodies. It is important to think about the diaphragm has a body like a pump, compressing and massaging the internal organs, in this way, it seems very similar to that of the heart.
There are numerous studies conducted on the effects of proper abdominal breathing, by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system on the secretion of neurotransmitters to battle the disease.
In Chinese tradition, breathing is always a top priority in health, longevity, and enjoyment of life. Since the early papers on the descriptive writings Guanzi Wuxuanpian Chinese have focused on very specific and technical methods of breathing. Qigong has been around for thousands of years and shares many similar properties in the yoga tradition. Breathing "for" and "with" one body is one of the key methods of many different (of which there are thousands) styles of qigong. Many styles will begin with a simple grip work, exactly sitting, lying or standing to allow the diaphragm to relax and that a beginner can do properly (usually under supervision). Once this is done properly then a solo practice methods to improve the natural movement is constantly repeated.
