What are the side effects of standing still?

I believe that standing still is an exercise that everyone is familiar with. Many friends like to do it. But what I want to tell you is that you must maintain a correct posture during the standing still process, otherwise it will bring us great adverse effects and cause certain threats to people's health. So what are the side effects of standing still? How much do you know about this issue? Let's take a look at the relevant introduction in the article.

If you do not stand properly, such as with incorrect posture or unable to relax, it will cause Qi and blood to stagnate in the body and block the meridians. At this time, you will feel heavy, tired, irritable, and mentally unsmooth. Qi is particularly prone to congestion between the ribs, which will hinder the flow of Qi and blood throughout the body.

But it all depends on your own feeling. If you feel relaxed (maybe tired but it is a refreshing tiredness) and happy after practicing, it means the effect is positive.

If you feel tired, heavy, weak, or unwilling to move or irritable after practicing, or if you feel that the Qi is floating upwards during practice, especially the Qi is floating on the ribs and moving from the abdomen to the ribs or chest, these feelings indicate that there is a problem and it must be adjusted.

I would like to add that the claim that standing still has no side effects is very misleading. This can easily lead many practitioners to blindly believe in it and practice indiscriminately regardless of right or wrong, resulting in deviations.

Moreover, Dachengquan often claims that standing still has nothing to do with Qigong. This is actually a big misunderstanding. It is easy for practitioners to think that standing still does not require entering a state of tranquility and can be distracted. Long-term standing still practice without paying attention to entering a state of tranquility and relaxing the mind, and wandering thoughts will inevitably lead to deviations.

The above article also introduces the side effects of standing still. If we want to better maintain our health through exercise, we must pay attention to and master some important details. We also hope that everyone can understand the correct postures of standing still. We must stand still correctly in our lives to avoid serious consequences.
