I am sharing with you a Qigung exercise that will help improve your energy level. The good thing is it takes only 15 minutes a day to carry out.
Qigung Exercise
Just 15 minutes a day and good results can be expected if you do it diligently every day for a period of 2-3 months (depending on the individual’s health conditions and how long one can keep holding up the legs….) A real simple exercise to help you increase your energy level…
The English text is my translation from the Chinese text that I received from Sonata. Lie down on your back, raise your legs as shown in the photo – the thigh at 90 degrees with the body, 90 degree at knee joints, 90 degree at ankles – and keep this posture for 15 minutes or longer. Start by doing as long as you can manage and lengthen the duration as you progress. That’s it.
Notes:
Notes:
1) Drink 300cc of warm water before and after doing the exercise. Breathe normally. Don’t hold back your breath. Using the energy from your waist and “Dan tian” to hold your legs in that posture as long as you can manage.
2) When you are lying down in this posture, blood will flow back to your liver and kidneys ensuring fast detoxification and an increase in your metabolism. Your legs will feel sore and your pituitary gland will be activated to hasten the detox process and the toxins in your body will be excreted through sweating.
3) When you are lying in this position, your body is getting rid of the “toxin” in your body. Then your good body cells will be stronger and be able to overcome bad cells (including cancer cells) inside your body.
4) Since you are using the strength from your waist to support the legs, your Shenqu (CV 8)and Ming Men (GV4) of the main acupressure points) are used to for breathing, your Front and Back main Meridians will be cleared and connected. Thus the pores of your skin will be opened to help with the “detox” process. By breathing through the Dan Tian, it helps to lessen the burden of breathing on your lungs. Therefore, you heart functions will become stronger resulting in lowered blood pressure
5) When you sweat, the acidic toxins will be excreted, your blood lipid (fatty deposits) will be burnt. The spleen is in charge of our 4 limbs. Therefore, your blood sugar level will also be stabilized resulting in improved spleen function. The end result is that you will feel calmer and more personable.
6) When your legs are up, your small intestine movement will be activated and your bladder muscles will be stronger. Therefore, constipation, abnormal menstruation, prostate problems can all be avoided. Also, once your digestion and excretion systems are in order, you will have good appetite and can maintain your normal body weight.
7) When your legs are up, your spine is straight. That means your whole body’s muscles will be strengthened. Qi and blood will flow smoothly throughout your body. Your joints can easiy have more bone marrow and the nerves alongside your spine are well connected with all parts of the body. Thus degeneration of joints and growth of bone spurs can be avoided.
8) When your legs are up, all your inner organs are working in harmony. Your brain's burden will be lessened and thus can function better, resulting in clear heads, better memory and no more insomnia. Also you will have better tolerance and stronger will power.
Therefore, the longer you can hold up your legs in that posture, the better and long living you will be.
《不是因為幸福才笑，而是笑了才會幸福……》 這些年有時常會有些身邊的至親、朋友、同學等有不健康遺憾，在教拳中每當看見有人因身體不適, 花錢來學習太極拳時，我心中總是會有不捨與難過，因為大都是積勞成疾。西醫無法根治、中醫調理要花錢、花時間！我們社團內也有醫師好幾位來學習太極拳藝, 只為了想用最自然的方式養生！因為醫師們知道西藥副作用的後果。10/8參加同仁精進營，執行長林俊龍院長公開表示：要活就要動！這時老祖宗的智慧出現了～藥補不如食補、食補不如功補！
末學提供一種簡單易學的功法。名為能量倍增操。為太極輔助功法。只要你想要健康。只要你願意在連續二、三個月。在睡前的十五分鐘抬抬腳。只花你一點點的時間，就可以讓你精神倍增、改善體質；這個功法，約民國87年在屏東有一位太極尤師姐教我練習，當時，只要有人生理不適、便秘、胃腸消化不良、尿失禁、攝護腺腫大等, 她就免費傳授。師姐當時對我說：如果將來有機會，要把這功法教出去造福大家。所以整理了過去的講義提供大家參考如下。
在此簡述抬腳時的過程與反應：
一、 在抬腳時前、後需各喝３００西西溫開水，心平氣和保持輕鬆，自然呼吸、不可憋氣，靠腰力及丹田氣力來支撐身體下半部所受之酸。使身體與大腿成九十度、大腿與小腿成九十度。支撐至少十五分鐘以上。
二、 在抬腳時血液會迅速流回肝、腎，給予重新解毒排毒，此時新陳代謝增加，腰部以下會有強烈極酸的反應，為了排解瞬間增加毒素，人體腦下垂體自會分泌激素，激發潛能，加強排毒，最後在流汗中，將毒素予以排出。
三、 在抬腳時可引濁氣下行排出，升清降濁正氣倍增，體內正常細胞大曾活躍，癌細胞自然死亡。
四、 在抬腳時神闕 CV8（肚臍）及命門 (GV 4)同運氣，打通任督氣血暢行無阻，毛細孔擴張，增加皮膚呼吸及代謝作用，因丹田訓練呼吸，減少肺部負擔胸腔之濁氣自可順利排出，解決心胸之鬱悶、心胸開朗氣沉丹田、心臟恢復正常功能，心理壓大降低、血壓隨之穩定。
五、 在抬腳時因流汗，自可將體內酸性毒素排出，血脂肪自然燃燒。脾主四肢，所以血糖可以穩定，改善脾的功能，人的性情自然溫順和譪可親。
六、 在抬腳時，大小腸自然會蠕動，膀胱更有力，男女生理功能更是增強奏效，何來秘便、月事不順、攝護腺腫大等失調症。胃腸消化、排便正常，何來肥瘦不均，胃口不開呢？
七、 在抬腳時，脊椎保持水平，全身肌肉富有彈性，氣血順暢，各關節自會增生骨髓，脊椎兩旁神經恢復平常傳導作用，何來關節退化，或長骨刺的名稱，壓迫神經的病痛呢？
八、 在抬腳時，因內臟全身運作，腦內革命，心理生理調適正常，何來睡眠障礙症。頭腦清醒、智慧、記憶力當然會增加，這是真善美的表現。激發意志力及吃苦耐力，方能突破酸的痛楚、障礙，達到流汗的過程，發揮抬腳的最終目：抬的愈久，活的愈久。
