The magical effect of standing still

People who exercise regularly are less likely to get sick because exercise can fully exercise people's spirit and brain. Therefore, when people exercise, every organ in the body will show its function and can also release its function well. Standing still is a way of physical exercise that people in ancient times often used, and is often the basic skill for people practicing martial arts. So what are the magical effects of standing still?

1. The magical effect of standing still

Thousands of years of practice have proven that standing still is one of the best ways to replenish vital energy. When the vital energy is full, people will be strong and have the ability to resist all diseases. Many healthy people have practiced standing meditation for a long time, and they all enjoy a long life. Some people who are weak and sickly can also benefit from standing still. Standing still can not only dredge and harmonize qi and blood, make yin and yang interact and accelerate metabolism, but also strengthen the functions of various organs and even cells. It has a good effect on many chronic diseases, such as hypertension, heart disease, obesity, hyperlipidemia, gout and so on.

2. A basic method of replenishing qi through standing

What I am introducing here is the most basic method of replenishing qi by standing still. Before practicing standing still, you should empty your bowels and bladder, loosen your buttons and belt, and it is not advisable to practice one hour before or after meals.

1. Feet

Stand with your feet in an "eight" shape, raise your hands to your chest, and your feet should not be too wide. Your heels should be slightly wider than your shoulders, and your toes should be about the same width as your shoulders.

2. Head

The head should be straight, with the top of the head lifted and the chin slightly retracted. The mouth is slightly closed, the tongue is against the upper palate, and the expression is calm. Look straight ahead, breathe naturally, and relax your whole body. Make the Qi flow throughout the body balanced and harmonious.

3. Hands

The fingers are naturally relaxed, as if there is a balloon in the middle. Both hands should hold and hug it carefully. The arms are rounded and hug the body to form a semicircle. The position of the hands can be lowered a little at the beginning and then slowly rise up, but the hands cannot be higher than the shoulders or lower than the navel.

4. Shoulders

Keep your shoulders relaxed, don't tense or raise them. Your shoulders should hang naturally and relax downward. At this time, the collarbone and chest feel a little heavy, so when the shoulders are relaxed, they need to be pushed out to both sides. Some people start sweating and have cold hands after standing for a long time. The reason is that their shoulders and elbows are not relaxed, and the flow of Qi is blocked. Therefore, before practicing standing still, you should shake your shoulders and turn them back and forth in a relaxed manner.

5. Knee

Bend your knees slightly, but do not allow them to go past your toes. Keep your thighs empty, as if you are in a sitting but not sitting position.

6. Body

Keep your upper body straight, without slouching or tilting your hips. Slightly tuck your chest in and straighten your back. Relax your abdomen and slightly retract it. The perineum is lifted up and the coccyx is lowered toward the ground.
