What are the benefits of learning Qigong?

Practicing Qigong is indeed a good way to maintain health. Of course, hard practice cannot be achieved overnight. It requires a person to have a firm determination and to believe from the bottom of his heart that practicing Qigong can indeed achieve the effect of maintaining health. Perseverance is the key to practicing Qigong. If you fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, you will definitely not be able to practice Qigong well, and it will not achieve the effect of maintaining health. Here are some benefits of learning Qigong.

Practicing Qigong can adjust yin and yang, harmonize Qi and blood, dredge the meridians, and cultivate true Qi, making people's lives vigorous. It can make the weak stronger, the sick healthier, and the old stronger. "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine·Suwen·On the Innocence of Ancient People" said: "Those who know the Tao follow the laws of yin and yang, are in harmony with the art of numbers, eat and drink in moderation, have regular daily routines, and do not work too hard. Therefore, their body and spirit can be in harmony, and they can live out their natural lifespan, and die at the age of one hundred." "The Guanzi·Neiye" said: "Those who can be upright and calm...have tough tendons and strong bones." Hua Tuo further pointed out: "When you move, the food gas can be digested, the blood can circulate, and all diseases will not arise." These statements have not only been confirmed by many practitioners, but also by modern medical scientific experiments.

Practicing qigong can repair and adjust nerve functions. During the exercise, the EEG shows that the alpha wave amplitude increases and is concentrated in the forehead (this is the main difference from the alpha wave in the occipital area when the eyes are closed and quiet), and the left and right brains tend to be synchronized, indicating that the orderliness of brain function is enhanced. At the same time, it can also adjust the autonomic nervous system and strengthen the sensory function, motor function and thinking function.

Generally speaking, Qigong is suitable for people of all ages to practice. Of course, it would be better for people with certain diseases to practice qigong. For example, patients with depression often have fantasies and unstable emotions. If they practice qigong at this time, it can help patients calm their unstable emotions and reduce the frequency of hysterical attacks.
