It is normal to wear pajamas in winter, but in spring and autumn - your shoulders are afraid of cold, and you have to wear them in summer - your body is afraid of wind, and sleeping shirtless has become a luxury. For more than two years, this normal person has lived a normal life. Rights, "Zhan" finally came back this summer. If you lose it, you can get it again. You have witnessed the magic of Zhanzhuang.
I have been running for decades since I was in college, and I thought that my life and exercise were regular. Until I gradually discovered that there was something wrong with my body:
I felt chest tightness when I took a bath and soaked in a large pool. I have to get up several times at night, I have to urinate after a good lunch break, my hair is gradually increasing, my knees are cold 365 days a year, my legs are cold and my feet are cold, the soles of my feet are more sensitive to the cold in cold weather, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, summer The air conditioner is not allowed. When the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius, I wear long sleeves. I have to close the doors and windows when sleeping. I cannot use a fan. I also have to wear pajamas, thick cotton socks, and three pairs of reading glasses. I am not allowed to eat cold fruit drinks.
I am half a century old, with two parents and a son and a daughter. I really don’t dare to look forward to this physical condition.
I have no choice but to embark on the path of seeking health: Origin Point, Paida and Lajin, X Balance Method, Master Buyi Stick Method, Gua Sha Cupping, 108 Prayers, Good Humanity, Bone Setting, Meridian Therapy... these methods Each has its own characteristics and limitations. The more you learn, the more complicated you find and cannot solve the fundamental problem.
Look at yourself and the people around you, and you will find that everyone has more or less various problems. Those who play badminton very well cannot sleep, and those who insist on walking every night cannot sleep. Tai Chi's belly looks like that of a pregnant woman, and her cervical vertebrae shake from time to time when she keeps running and playing on the horizontal bar... What's the reason? Is it because I don’t exercise properly or I haven’t chosen the right exercise?
I have been practicing Tai Chi for three years, but I couldn’t do the movements properly due to knee arthritis, so I gave up.
Master Nan said that men should learn to meditate before the age of 48, choose Huangting meditation with guided words, follow the prompts to relax, meditate, and observe the fluctuations of Huangting's qi and blood. If the lumbar spine is not good, you cannot sit upright, and the lower limbs have cold qi and blood. Even worse - give up too.
Data says that standing on a stance is good. Trees seem to be motionless, but they are constantly growing and developing. The ancients observed and understood that standing on a stance is good for health.
Modern fitness requires physical exercise, accelerated blood circulation, accelerated heartbeat and stimulated breathing. Asthma is "deprived of oxygen" to grow muscles, and blood is supplied to the limbs first. Organs that are truly deprived of oxygen are rarely allocated. To put it in the vernacular , a large part of the energy and blood earned is wasted and not spent on ideas. Even though I exercise every day, some problems just cannot be solved.
The heartbeat of Zhanzhuang is accelerated, and the blood circulation of the whole body is accelerated, but the breathing is smooth, the frequency is slowed down, the oxygen supply to the head is increased, and the activity of brain cells is inhibited. It abandons the "hypoxia" shortcomings of modern fitness and combines blood and breathing. , The oxygen supply to the brain is well coordinated.
Huangting Zhanzhuang: Cover your abdomen with both hands, breathe naturally, bend your knees and align them with your toes. The guide keeps reminding you to bend your knees. The knee joints cannot bear it.
Daai Zhanzhuang requires the body to rotate to guide Qi and blood, and the knees cannot bear it.
Returning to the traditional stance, it was a bit tiring to hold the ball with both hands, but I gradually got used to it. My knees hurt when I bent them, so I stood up a little straighter and patted my knees behind the stance. After a year of persistence, my body did improve.
While standing still, I am still searching in the confusion. If I don’t have enough wisdom, I have to take more detours. Taking detours is not scary, but the fear is...
The sky is worthy of the search, and a book "The Kung Fu of Standing on the Heaven and the Earth - Notes on Xingyi Quan Internal Kung Fu" has become acquainted with Ma Lao. He covers his abdomen with his hands and stands naturally - there is no force on his knees. He can intuitively feel this good.
Ma Laozhuang's method is not well-known and has only appeared on Guangdong Satellite TV; writing a book is nothing.
I cannot "enjoy" the "blessings" of other stances. I started changing my stance last September. Unexpectedly, I became a blessing out of a "misfortune" and stood on the "health highway".
After doing Zhanzhuang for a month, I feel a stream of heat moving up and down in my body. My knees don’t hurt after Zhanzhuang. Don’t slap my knees. My knees don’t bend and my hands don’t get tired. Zhanzhuang is no longer a torment. Half an hour, 1 Hours, 1.5 hours, the single pile time slowly increases, and it can stand up to 4 hours a day.
My body is also slowly changing. The "gland" trouble is gone, my chest tightness is gone, my face is flushed, my feet are hot, and my palms are even hotter than normal. I have never suffered from cervical and lumbar problems, and my feet are wearing Jiefang shoes. ——My feet don’t stink, I have a lot of gray hair, and my hair quality has become harder. I’ve seen photos of my senior’s hair changes over the past few years, and I know that if I want my gray hair to turn into black, I can achieve it if I work harder at my age.
While standing in the stance, I was wondering why Ma Lao’s stance had different effects.
Mr. Ma shares his more than 50 years of teaching experience without reservation, and makes it clear and understandable, making self-study Zhan Zhuang cultivation a reality. Watch the video and listen to the audio and slowly understand, and you will not be confused. I went to the WeChat group to ask teachers and friends, and I had the chance to meet Mr. Ma in person to adjust my body shape, and at the same time, I witnessed what real kung fu is.
Ignore the pictures and text, but look at the horse’s body shape: the outside of the feet is shoulder width apart, the body stands naturally, and the hands are covering the abdomen. Isn’t it very simple?
Points to pay attention to: Shift the body's center of gravity toward the heel. If you feel that the heel is pressing a little harder, stand straighter with your knees, and just press the big tendons behind your legs to feel a little stretch.
Some people say that this is not the authentic "lazy person" standing method. Yes, lazy people can maintain their health by standing.
"Lazy people" didn't want to climb stairs, so they invented elevators; they were too lazy to walk, so they invented cars, trains and airplanes; they were too lazy to press buttons, so they invented touch-screen mobile phones; they were too lazy to go out to choose things, so online shopping came into being... This laziness is not stupid laziness, but laziness that makes sense, and wisdom comes from laziness.
Lazy people rarely get serious illnesses. They just eat and drink enough and just sleep on their heads. If they are sick, they are too lazy to go see them - mobilize the powerful medicine in the human body. Modern people think about this, worry about that, and tighten themselves all day long. How can they not get sick? Don't take yourself too seriously, the earth will continue to turn without you.
The lazy man stands with his back against the wooden door, his legs are all the same, his back from butt to shoulders is sleeping on the door, his back is afraid of the cold, he puts on a cotton-padded jacket for the door, and his heels are halfway away from the door. When your feet are within the ball of your feet, you feel that your knees are unbearably tight. Move your heels closer to the door and stand until your waist is close to the door. Sticking it on the door conceals many benefits such as relaxing the waist, opening the gate of life, straightening the spine, and curing back pain.
Heel pain caused by standing posture, insufficient qi and blood supply in the heel, and poor kidney pulse can be relieved by gently lifting the heel in turns, and hot compresses on the ankles can also be used.
It is a bit difficult to keep doing simple things repeatedly, and it is a bit difficult to change physical and mental habits. "Endurance" not only endures the body but also the mind. It is boring and boring, and you can watch TV or listen to music to distract yourself. After a hundred days of building the foundation, you will feel a sense of energy and warmth on your back. When you turn onto the Zhanzhuang Expressway, whoever stands knows the feeling.
Ma Lao Zhanzhuang subverts the tradition by strengthening the first line of defense of the human body against external evils - the big muscles on the Yang side, the bladder meridian is connected to the lower edge of the occipital bone, down to the soles of the feet, across the triple burner, and one knee bends Zhongyouzhi gets it done.
The second is to be able to communicate with the Great and Small Heavens while standing, which is the secret of Taoist health care. In the past, this could only be achieved by practicing Qi while sitting.
Third, the heartbeat slows down, the breathing slows down, the oxygen supply to the head increases, and the circulation of Qi and blood in the human body accelerates, and the efficiency of nourishing Qi and blood to open the meridians is high.
Is there any basis for Ma Laozhuang Gong? Mr. Ma inherited the essence of his predecessors and also studied Buddhism, Taoism, and medicine. Studying the stress analysis of bent knees, rectifying the name of "zhan" for zhanzhuang, and also fairing the towering trees, and patting the knees after eliminating zhanzhuang, it is really a great way to simplicity.
The most difficult thing for Western medicine to understand is the qi and meridians of traditional Chinese medicine, which cannot be verified anatomically. Professor Wang Weigong, a doctor of biology in Taiwan, has studied the qi and blood of human meridians through more than 20 years of experiments:
< p> The control points of the blood triple burner in the human body are Yongquan, Laogong, and Renzhong. Qi is the lower Dantian, middle Dantian and upper Dantian, namely Qihai, Tanzhong and Yintang.The kidney meridian is in charge of the lower body of the human body. The kidney meridian is unobstructed, the kidney qi is sufficient to drive the blood flow, and the venous blood return of the lower limbs supplies sufficient blood to the heart to maintain the normal work of the heart, that is, the intersection of the heart and the kidneys. After measuring the kidney pulse after the traditional stance, it was found that the energy was very positive, proving that it can nourish the kidneys.
Wang Weigong proved through scientific experiments the importance and functions of Laogong point, Yongquan point (kidney channel connection), Xiadantian and Mingmen points. And used to stand, different paths lead to the same destination, it is by no means an accidental coincidence.
A seventy-year-old man writes a summary of his life into a book, records videos and audios and spreads it to the world. What does he want? Dharma is hard to find. "I am not here to get rich, I am here to pass on the right things." It is Mr. Ma's wish to pass on the right things and make more people healthy.
When my son came home during the winter vacation, he changed from sitting to watching computer videos to standing up. During the winter vacation, his hands and feet began to feel hot, and so did my niece. My father-in-law and father, who have been standing for a week, get up less often at night in the winter.
After standing up, Aunt Meng said that she could lift her legs and walk wherever she wanted. The legs were long on the body, so it was not easy to "lift" them. They were her own.
I have no intention of slandering other sports. If you have been insisting on a certain exercise and have cervical spine, lumbar disc, and migraine headaches, and they often recur, and your sleep has not improved, why don’t you think differently? Traditional Chinese and Western medicine pay attention to the compatibility of combinations. , why not try Ma Lao’s stance.
It is really easy for Ma Lao to stand on top of the pile.
