Chi Kung encourages to perform the abdominal breathing with slow movements to bring out its effectiveness in two folds. The abdominal breathing is to increase the volume of air intake; the slow movement is to increase the rate of cell respiration.
The Old Myth About Chir The ancients once thought that 'Chi' was the primordial essence that compose all matters of the universe. In traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), 'Chi' was defined as the function of the human body organs. Chi flow was considered that the functional activities of the organs interacting with each other inside the human body. When the organs are malfunction, it was said to be that the Chi was blocked.
æ°£(chi) , in the west, was only known or translated as energy. Unfortunately, the character was abide by the sole definition restricting to move forward for other explanations. If the character was traced back to its root, then, its multi-definition may be more versatile to be used in other fields. Its usage in the meaning of the character in the Chinese society is not very clear. The most common meaning in an ordinary daily life, it means 'air.' When a TCM practitioner says your chi is low, then, that is where the confusion starts.
A Taoist has a will to preserve his body by maintaining a state of homeostasis. A normal body can handle the daily chores with no difficulty. Unless, there is an event which requires a quick response in all the sudden. Hence, the body must be prepared to handle any unexpected adverse situations. It is important to maintain the body in a state of balance, physically and biologically, at all times. Physically, it is the muscles of the arms and legs and other parts of the body for the freedom of movements. Also the arms and legs must have the strength to handle strenuous tasks.
People with breathing problem should practice with Tai Chi, to start with, is recommended rather than with Chi Kung. Tai Chi is a form of Chi Kung, but Chi Kung is not necessary Tai Chi. However, they both have something in common, the slow movements and deep breathing. Tai Chi has more complicated movements tha Chi Kung. Chi Kung always concentrate on breathing more than the movements.
Hypertension of a normal person may be caused by the abnormality of the arteries. The cause of essential hypertension is multifactorial. Secondary hypertension was caused mainly by hypoxia or a disorder of blood vessel or the kidney. If one understand the function of the kidney and what cause vasoconstriction to increase blood pressure, then, one cannot deny the fact that Chi Kung can prevent secondary hypertension.
Although there are many styles in Chi Kung, but there is one commonality. If we observed closely, we will see that breathing is in synchronization with the slow body movements. The combination of the breathing and movements is a biochemical-mechanical loop for completing the muscle contraction process. The muscle contraction requires energy. Thus, it raises the question where does the energy come from?

There are many ways of meditation for different purposes. Meditation includes concentration, feeling, sensitivity, imagination, thoughts, and insinuation. In the west, meditation is not necessarily part of Chi Kung. However, to a Taoist, meditation is a requirement for Chi Kung in order to bring out the effectiveness of Chi Kung for health benefits. Then, how does a Taoist do meditation? First of all, the highest goal in Chi Kung is to have the breath to reach the bottom of the abdomen, so to speak. This notion was inherited from the ancients.

In the eastern martial art society, there is always an old Chinese saying: ”Have chi will have strength.” From these words, there is a distinction between chi and strength. In order to have body strength, chi(air) must be present. Hence, the chi-strength idea coincides with the oxygen-energy theory in the metabolism process, the cell respiration.
The character "Qi" is a very mysterious term. Everybody uses it, most of the time, it just come out very loosely without clarity. Even philosophers use it with ambiguity. Its interpretation was up to the readers to define and it was often misinterpreted. Especially, it would be more ambiguous when the interpretation was done through a translation into another language. Let's look at Qi in the "three treasures (shan bao, ä¸å®):" Jing(ç²¾), Qi(æ°£) and Shen(ç¥).
Chi Kung is a mysterious subject to be discussed. Since the Chi Kung has a tremendous biological effect upon the human body, the functions of the human body should be investigated thoroughly for a better understanding about Chi Kung.

There are always two sides to a story. It is like a coin with two sides which analogous to the yin and the yang as a unit. LaoTze always suggested to look at the yin side of the story to understand the yang side. In the case with the interpretation of chi, one must look at it from the other side. The people say it is energy. Unfortunately, they did not say exactly what kind of energy. Hence, people start looking for the answer randomly. If people are not sure what Chi is or might not even exist once thought what it might be, then how can the answer be found?
Chi Kung is an art of breathing. The breathing method, in Chi Kung, is beyond normal by voluntary control. Normal breathing is involuntary controlled by the medulla by nervous regulation and chemical regulation. Voluntary breathing can control the amount of chi(air) and the duration in the ...
Those who do not exercise, the problems they are having are shallow breathing and weak muscles. These conditions can be improved progressively by practicing Tai Chi or Chi Kung. The only difference, between the two, is the amount of movements involved. Tai Chi is more stressful at the beginning and required determination and patience; and Chi Kung is not stressful at all. People with breathing problems can be corrected with both exercises. However, if people want to improve their health and physical being, Tai Chi is the best choice.

Nature only allows a maximum number of white blood cells in the Immune system; and this number must be maintained in order to be effective. A strong Immune System is not determined by how active the Immune System is; but by the amount of normal white blood cells present. The maximum number of white blood cells in the Immune System are required to standby as a defensive system against any foreign invaders. If the maximum number has not been reached, it was considered that the system is weak or too weak to fight off any antigens.
The heart is the major organ of the circulatory system. It is the only interface between the respiratory system and the rest of the body. It pumps blood into the arteries, capillaries, and veins for circulating nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. Without the heart, the rest of the body will not function. Therefore, let's find out some basic facts about the heart at resting. At resting, a healthy heart beats on its own and maintains beating 60 to 80 times a minute. It has a steady cardiac output for maintaining normal blood pressure.
The first thing that come to the people's mind, Chi is energy and building concepts around energy instead of Chi. Now, the question comes to is "energy" a translation or a definition. However, if Chi is translated as energy, then, the explanation will be based on energy and the true meaning of Chi will be lost in the translation. According to ancient Chinese thought, Chi was the primal substance which constitute the universe; and all matters were produced by the changes and movement of Chi. In modern science, by the above definition, Chi is equivalent to an atom or molecule.
