Basic Tai Chi Qigong position.

The current "qigong" formerly called "Neigong" For centuries, during Qigong practice was the second important part of the word - "gong" (work). "gong" in common parlance is called "Kung Fu" - work, diligence, perseverance. Final phrase for trains after a long practice is "Qigong without patience - a waste of time" (gong and qigong have chan kung). Therefore  diligence of practitioner is measured by his "work" (gong).Depending on this "job" training methods differ in different schools and movements of qigong. What is the shortest way to achieve the effect on the training? That is the main task of schools and trends in training on how to school. Ma primarily focuses on posture, for example, in the sitting position of the body shell is straightened, back straight, straight, straight. "You sit there, like a bell, standing pine, lying like a bow to shoot" (Zuo Zhu Zhong, Zhang Zhu Song, in Zhu Gong). And in training should sit "like a tiger, calm as a rock" to breathe free, easy to "internal" and "external" is in complete harmony main feature - the simultaneous availability of the body and the spirit. Standing position: posture should be maintained particularly strict, head and neck should be kept straight, chin pick eyes soulfully look right, the point bayhuey upward. Straightening Chest, stomach tucked, back straight as a rod spine is straightened, and the load is distributed evenly up and down the sacrum connects with the point hueyin shoulders slumped, arms hang down freely knees slightly bent Toes "capture" the ground is often said that it is necessary to stand firmly on the ground but be not as heartless tree, but to present a calm spirituality should move quickly, quickly. Eye movements and arms coordinated to achieve the speed and strength, vitality and firmness, you must be in a ready state, which is characterized by the expression "peace innocent girl and mobility fierce tiger in the mountains" before workout standing and sitting posture should be exactly the same as mentioned above. In addition, you need to visualize your body in different poses as five bows for shooting, which are then recombined into a single bow.


                                            

Visualize your body, likening alternately five types of bows for shooting.

Here the word "bow" is meant such a bow, which was used as an ancient weapon of soldiers in our country - the bow and arrow The body is in motion must be like a bow: the tension from head to toe - a single interconnected whole "first bow" 'both arms raised to the same level, hands balled into fists and naturally bent in an arc, so the arms, shoulders and neck vertebrae form a bow This bow - it's neck.Even if the situation has changed hands, but the "idea" (strength) of the "first bow" can not disappear It also means that the bow is firm and well with a bow movement leads to a general movement. With each gust and movement think of this onion. For example, you want to make out his right hand and make a hit, if in his mind - "the first bow," that both the imposition of the right hand to turn the whole body to the side, as the axis of the bow. The left hand, of course, is left behind. Thus, the right hand can absorb by the body. If the motion of a "throw-hand with power" (chushou Julia) not to keep in mind this bow, it will just blow right hand and can not be involved because the whole body.

"The second bow": right fist and left leg (foot), combining in a single line, form a "second bow." The left foot takes a step forward, and shall be made right fist up and down. From right fist through the back of the right hand and back, waist, the back part of the foot to the heel left leg formed one oblique line, representing a sort of bow. Right fist and left foot - two ends of onions, back - his grip. The ends of the bow may be mutually agreed (in motion) when extends right fist, left heel rests with the power to the ground. The loin is the axis handle bow. Thus the force of the blow right fist passes by the entire body.

"The third bow" 'left fist and right foot, connecting to the line, is a kind of bow. Take a step forward with right foot, left fist shall be made up and forward. From the left fist through the back of the left arm and back, back, left foot to the back of the heel of left foot forms one oblique line, representing a sort of bow. Left fist and right foot - is the two ends of onions, back - his grip. The ends of the bow may be mutually agreed (in motion) when extends his left fist, back heel of right foot (feet) may balk with force into the ground. The loin is the axis handle bow. Thus the force of the impact left fist passes by the entire body.

"The fourth bow" 'head and left foot, connecting through the body in a single line, is a sort of bow. Left foot steps forward with his head this position will resemble the bow. Head and leg (foot) are the two ends of the bow, and the waist as the axis - its handle. Bayhuey point is up, his left foot pressed to the ground and naturally felt that this "bow" has the power.

"Fifth bow" head and right foot, connecting through the body in a single line, is a kind of bow. Right foot steps forward with his head this situation resembles the bow, that is, the two ends of the bow. The loin is the axis of the handle bow.

The thought of this "fifth bow" not only plays a crucial role in the entire workout qigong, but also affects the natural elegance of posture, the harmony of movement has the power, to the same health benefits. For example, stick with the "first bow" may lead to a natural straightening of the cervical vertebrae. Thus it prevents the build-up to the cervical spine (osteochondrosis). In ancient times, spoke of the "shoulders 50", meaning that when a person is over 50 years old, he can easily arise growths on the cervical vertebrae that press on nerves and cause bursting pain in the shoulders and arms. In severe cases, the patient can not raise their hands. Having mastered the "first bow", a person can avoid the "50 shoulders."

Handle the second, third, fourth and fifth bows - is waist. You can see how important the waist. It is often said that if the lower back and legs are stronger, the person is healthy. If the lower back become effective arm of the "fourth bow", the right and left feet also gain the power of two bends the bow. Thus the waist and legs will be healthy and strong. "Connecting the five bows" in one's mind, body and spirit, in fact, a single unit. No matter what business a man does, he shall, by means of thought and mind to control the body to do the job. Any man, unless he has mastered the idea of ​​"five bows", as mentioned above, plus went hardening qigong can do what ordinary people available. But the thought that the body can become like the "five bows" is not enough, you also need to consider the body as a whole. In ancient times, said. "Merges five bows", ie, to turn the body into a kind of a bow. The secret is to point bayhuey, cervical vertebrae,

tailbone, legs and heels viewed as a single straight line. The point is to bayhuey and cervical vertebrae were located directly, waist as the axis would control the whole body, the coccyx was lowered down to the toes seized land. Thus the whole body becomes effective. This - the basis of Qigong practice.
