The reason why Tai Chi can play a health-care role is that through continuous and effective practice, it can play a role in training essence into qi, training qi into spirit, and training spirit into emptiness. The entry-level magic weapon is a simple action: lifting the anus.
The reason why lifting the anus can play a health-care role is that there are three meridians near the anus: the governor meridian, the conception meridian and the Chong meridian. The three important meridians of the human body all start from the perineum, and they are responsible for qi, blood and sex respectively. The governor meridian is responsible for the qi of the whole body, the conception meridian is responsible for the blood of the whole body, and the Chong meridian is responsible for the sex of the whole body. These three meridians determine the birth, aging, illness and death of a person, and are vital to everyone’s life. Lifting the anus can play a role in consolidating essence and restoring.
The specific practice method is: when practicing boxing, on the basis of adjusting the body, adjusting the mind, and adjusting the breath, “tighten the yin and lift the anus”, from the beginning to the end. But you should pay attention to the following: first, you should slightly retract and lift, but not too much force; second, you should not be too focused on the intention; third, you should coordinate with the breathing, not too fast or too heavy, your mouth should be loose, your breathing should be deep, fine, even, and long, and your movements should be soft, slow, continuous, and continuous. When practicing boxing, you should feel whether the saliva in your mouth has increased and whether it is fragrant. If it tastes bitter, it is too much.
During the boxing practice, you should also pay attention to: slightly retracting the lower jaw, lifting the Baihui, lowering the coccyx, lifting and dropping, straightening the spine appropriately, sinking the qi into the Dantian, loosening the waist and dropping the hips, and remembering that you must lift the anus while lowering the coccyx to avoid the decline of qi and varicose veins. On the basis of paying attention to the correct appearance of the boxing frame, smooth breathing, and steady feet, use the shape to lead the qi, and use the qi to lead the mind. After long-term practice, gradually transition to the state of leading the qi with the mind and moving the body with the qi.
When practicing Tai Chi, on the basis of mastering the entry-level movements, you should be aware of the changes in your heart, mind, qi and blood, tendons and bones, feel the temperature of the extremities, and pay attention to practicing the fist posture from large to small, repeating it continuously for a long time. The more you practice, the straighter your body will be, the more energetic you will be, the more powerful you will be, and the healthier you will be.
