3 TCM Qi Gong forms to nourish the lungs and strengthen the body
Author:Prof. Qi Kai
Translator:Dr. Ching Gebauer - Chingcura
1. Exercise to strengthen the lungs:
1.1 Form 1 Clapping along the lung meridian:
Stand with both feet stretched flat and straight on the ground. With knees shoulder-wide apart and slightly bent, keep calm and relaxed, and breathe naturally while clapping with both palms on the chest for 1 minute, starting very softly, then increasing the clapping force according to individual endurance capacity. Clap from inside outwards along the lung meridian, i.e.from the heart-chest region towards the palm, gently swallowing any saliva present.
Reaction: a warm sensation is an adequate sign.
Duration: 1 minute each for the chest and the lung meridian till the warm sensation arrives, the longer the warmth lasts the better.
Frequency: 3 times per day: morning, noon and evening
Effects: Clapping directly on lung meridian vibrates it and enhances the transport and circulation of meridian-Qi, frees the lung-Qi, and strengthens the lungs and immunity.
1.2 Form 2 Stride and strike:
Stand with both feet stretched flat on the ground and knees shoulder-wide apart and lightly bent. Keep calm and breathe naturally, while striding forward with one foot and balancing with the other as in the traditional archer’s stance (i.e. the front knee bent and the back knee stretched), before striking the straightly stretched hands loudly directly in front of the body, resulting ideally in a slight electrifying numbness of the palms. The saliva produced should be gently swallowed.
Reaction: a slight electrifying numbness in the palms
Duration: 3 minutes each time
Frequency: 3 times a day: morning, noon and evening
Effects: This exercise is based on the principle of „Fei Chao Bai Mai「 (the lung system co-ordinates all vessels). It supports Yang with Yin, frees and regulates Qi and blood circulation, co-ordinates the Qi flow in all vessels, disperses illnesses to attain longevity and reinforce immunity.
Remarks: a weak person may simply walk normally while striking the palms.
1. 3 Form 3 Drawing circles with both arms:
Stand with both feet stretched flat on the ground, with knees slightly bent and shoulder-wide apart. Keep calm and stretch both arms and let them hang naturally next to the body. Then stretch them as much as possible while crossing them slowly in front of the body to make wheel movements from the center outwards. Breathe deeply as long as possible, once per arm-wheel movement. Swallow the saliva engendered.
Reaction: different degrees of swollen feeling and distension/pain, which disappear gradually
Duration: 3 minute each time
Frequency: 3 times per day (morning, noon evening)
Effects: This exercise regulates the breath and the form. It frees the lung-Qi and reinforces the lungs and Wei-Qi, and enhances vital activities of the lungs, increases the oxygen content in blood and strengthens the immunity.
The composite effects of the 3-Form Dynamic Qi Gong for reinforcing the lungs:
Form and spirit support each other; mental idea/thought and follow each other. This Qi Gong set activates Qi and vitalizes blood. It stretches the sinews and tissues and consolidates the bones. It promotes and increases human immunity, thus worthy to be called „Bi Wen Dan「 (pill for prevention against fevrile epidemic).
2. TCM 5-Element Finger-Needle Method
During the phase of illness prevention and recovery or while learning Qi Gong and training try to find out certain pertinent bodily regions showing the strongest reactions (such as discomfort). Such points of positive reaction are known as Asahi-points in TCM. Using fingers tightly joined together like a flower bud press lightly or tap on such reaction points according to individual tolerance capacity.
Reaction: various degrees of swollen feeling and distension/pain which subside gradually
Duration: 1 minute
Frequency: 3 times per day
Effects: this vitalizes the blood and breaks blood-stasis, softens the hard core and disperses nodes /nodules, clears and liberates the lung-Qi, in its total function somewhat equivalent to the famous traditional herbal prescription „Qing Fei Pai Du Fang「 (lung-clearing-and-toxin-discharging-prescription).
3. TCM Qi Gong for nourishing the inner being in a lying position
"Zhong Yi Wo Shi Nei Yang Gong"
The old and weak person may lie down calmly and totally relaxed, keeping the spirit steadfast inside and breathing naturally. In this method the left palm covers the navel lightly yet totally, while the right palm covers the sternum next to the heart in the same manner. The saliva produced can be swallowed gently. One can naturally fall asleep while exercising in this manner, resulting in better effects. There is furthermore no time limit on this exercise.
Reaction: The saliva production increases and the body stays warm throughout the whole time of exercise.
Duration: 15 minutes and more
Effects: This Qi Gong exercise holds the inner spirit intact, using the external to aid the internal, in order to harmonize "Kan" (i.e. water) and "Li" (i.e. fire), nourishing both heart and kidney together, balancing fire with water for improving the endocrine balance, promoting sleep and furthermore, increasing the immunity of the weak. This exercise can aptly be called "Du Shen Tang" (single ginseng decoction)
This exercise can also be carried out sitting straight and well balanced, under the same conditions.
These 3 Forms and 3 Qi Gong Methods to nourish the lungs and strengthen the body are very simple in structure and easy to learn, completely demonstrating the characteristics of simplicity, practicality, efficacy and inexpensiveness. To do the whole set of 3-Form-3-Method Qi Gong takes only 30-60 minutes. One can also just choose to do any one exercise or any one form at any time. The bodily reactions which may occur in the initial phase of the exercise training are actually similar to those in gymnastics. However, they usually disappear gradually in 1-2 weeks.
