Strengthen the connection between body, mind and soul. In Chinese, the word "qi" represents life force or energy, and there are similar concepts in other cultures, such as "prana" in India and "_" in Japan. Nourishing Qi is not only a way to heal the body and mind, but also a way to fully tap into the potential of life. To fully tap into your life force, you need to do some breathing and physical training first, and then nourish your Qi energetically and spiritually.

Method 1: Nourishing Qi through breathing

1. Find a comfortable posture. When doing breathing exercises, you need to focus on your breathing, so it is important to find a comfortable position. If you keep thinking about your leg pain or wondering what painting to hang on the opposite wall, you will become distracted. You can sit on a chair or pillow, whichever is more comfortable. If you are sitting on a chair, keep your back straight, your feet flat on the ground, and your knees shoulder-width apart.

If you are sitting on the ground, you can choose to sit cross-legged or kneeling.

2. Take a deep breath. Focus on inhaling and exhaling. Be sure to breathe from your diaphragm, not just your chest. The diaphragm is located close to the stomach, and breathing through the diaphragm allows more air to be taken in and out. Allowing adequate air to circulate in the body is essential for nourishing Qi. Do this exercise for several days or weeks until you are completely proficient. You can then use this breathing method anytime and anywhere to get the energy flowing in your body.

3. Clear your mind. Keeping your mind clear and free of any distracting thoughts is not an easy task. But during the 5 to 10 minutes of breathing exercises, try to stay focused. One breath and one breath are like yin and yang, and the opposites are also connected.

4. Try square breathing. This doesn't mean you actually have to breathe in such a shape. Once you've mastered the basics of diaphragmatic breathing, you can perform this exercise. First find a comfortable sitting position, and then follow these steps to perform square breathing: Inhale

Hold your breath for 5 seconds

Exhale

Hold your breath for 5 seconds

Method 2: Nourish Qi through exercise

1. Practice Tai Chi. Tai Chi is designed to balance the body’s Qi. Tai Chi includes many movements. You can first learn some basic movements to get a general understanding. Breathing is a vital part of it. I hope that through the previous step of learning, you have mastered the breathing method. The entire set of Tai Chi movements is designed to calm people down and allow them to feel their own breathing and Qi. There are several different schools of Tai Chi that differ slightly in form or footwork. Yoga studios and community centers often offer Tai Chi classes if you are interested. You can also ask around at your local martial arts studio, they may know where Tai Chi classes are held.

2. Standing. Wuji Zhuang, also called squatting horse stance, is the basic posture of Tai Chi. It may seem like you're just standing there, but it's a great way to channel energy into your body. You can nourish your Qi simply through horse squats and breathing exercises. The legs are parallel and shoulder width apart.

The center of gravity of the body falls on the center of the feet.

Squatting down feels like sitting on a virtual chair.

Bend your knees.

The spine should feel like it is floating.

Relax your shoulders.

Put your tongue lightly against the roof of your mouth.

Breathe naturally.

3. Arm movement. This is another exercise that, while not a Tai Chi move, helps you connect with your body and nourish your body with your breathing. Place your right hand, palm facing outward, in front of your face.

Place your left hand, palm facing inward, in front of your abdomen.

Slowly move your arms in a circular motion.

The two arms are always facing each other, and the direction of the palms depends on where the palms are in the circle. When the hands are at the top and end of the circle, the palms are completely facing in and out respectively. When the hands are moved to the chest, they are parallel to each other.

Keep breathing.

4. Find the energy training method that suits you best. Tai Chi is not the only way to nourish Qi. If you feel that this method is too slow and boring, maybe Chinese Kung Fu is more suitable for you, which is also helpful for nourishing Qi. You can also practice yoga, which is an ancient body-building technique originated from India and is designed to help people fully release the power of life.

Method 3: Focus on the energy and spiritual aspects of Qi

1. Practice Qigong. In addition to physical training such as breathing and body movements, truly nourishing Qi also requires touching on the psychological and spiritual levels. Qigong practices vary across cultures, but the purpose is to increase spiritual awareness and release potential life forces.

2. Focus on energy. This helps to improve the Qi in the body. As you perform breathing and other exercises, pay special attention to areas of the body where energy is not flowing. This is called energy blockage, and it requires focused and decisive efforts to clear it and allow energy to flow. Some people can get the energy flowing in their bodies simply through breathing and limb training, but many people need help and guidance.

There is a simple way for you to understand the operation of energy in your body. You only need to perform the diagnostic test below to understand what elements you have in your body and which elements you need to supplement. If you want to find a licensed Qigong master to guide you in energy-boosting training, you can consult the website below.

3. Strengthen the connection between body, mind and soul. This is the highest level of Qi cultivation, involving the spiritual aspect, and all the exercises you have done so far are included in it, including breathing, body movement and energy flow. You will reach a state of completely focused awareness. Just like Buddhists sitting in meditation, spiritual nourishment also requires lifelong pursuit. Maybe one day we will be able to achieve the state we long for, but it will definitely not happen overnight. To truly open up this connection between the mental and physical and energetic levels, you must be completely focused on the present moment, rather than traveling to different levels of awareness. For most people, meditation is the best way to reach the highest state of Qi nourishment.
