Dear Friends,
The Qigong Walking Exercise that I am teaching at
different venues is good but needs at least 1 hour a day
to practice for good results.
Since many of you are still working, here is one exercise
I believe can help you solve the “time” problem. Just 15
minutes a day and good results can be expected if you do
it diligently everyday for a period of 2-3 months.
It also depends on the individual’s health condition and
diligence in completing 15 minutes of holding up the legs
each time.
This is a really simple exercise to help you increase your
energy.
The English text is my translation from the Chinese text.
Lie down on your back, raise your legs as shown in the
photo.
Maintain 90 degrees at thighs with body, 90 degrees
at knee joints and 90 degrees at ankles.
Keep this posture for 15 minutes or longer.
Start with as long as you can manage and add on the
minutes.
That’s it!
1) Drink before and after the exercise 300cc of warm
water. 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 detoxing
and increasing your metabolism. You will feel very
“soared” with your legs and your pituitary gland will be
activated to hasten the detox process and the toxins in
your body will be excreted via sweating.
3) When you are lying in this posture, your body is
getting rid of the “toxin” in your body. They your good
body cells will be stronger and has definitely a good
control of any bad cells (including cancer cells) inside
your body.
4) Since you are using your waist’s energy to support the
legs, your Shenqu (CV 8)and Ming Men (GV4) of the main
acupressure points) were used to do the breathing, your
Front and Back main Meridians will be cleared and
connected. Thus your minute skin pores will be opened to
help with the “detox” process. With breathing through the
Dan Tian, it helps to lessen the burden of breath on your
lungs. Therefore, you heart functions will be stronger
with the result that your blood pressure will also be
lower.
5) When you sweat, the acidic toxins will be excreted,
your blood lipid (fatty deposits) will be burnt. Spleen is
in charge of our 4 limbs. Therefore, your blood sugar
level will also be stabilized with the result your spleen
function is being improved. End result is that you will
feel more calm and gentle.
6) When your legs are up, your small intestine’s movement
will be activated and your bladder’s 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 marrows 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 burden will be less 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.
