Tai Chi Breathing: Qi And Channels
Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, the concept of
'Qi' is extremely important. Qi can be translated
as energy. It's a form of life energy. Every living thing has
Qi, even plants.
For us - human being, Qi plays a very important role.
It's your LIFE!
It regulates the proper functions of your body. The five vitals
and six organs of your body must function properly in order for
you to maintain good health.
The five vitals are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys;
and the six organs are the stomach, gall-bladder, big
intestines, small intestines, bladder and the three systems
which include respiratory, digestive and eliminative.
The concepts of five vitals and six organs are based on
I-Chings' yin and yang, plus "Internal
Text of the Yellow Emperor". This means, if its yin
and yang elements are balanced - all the internal organs
and systems should function properly.
And good Qi circulations in your body maintain the
functionality of the five vitals and six organs. It strikes a
balance of elements in your internal organs and systems.
In Chinese medicine, it is stated that our body has various
meridians and network that carry our vital energy or life energy
throughout our body. There are many meridians and networks in
our body. All these together are known as the 12 Meridians
and Networks.
Each of our body has all these 12 Meridians and Networks, which
is divided as follows:
1. Meridians which includes 3 Yin Hand Meridians, 3
Yang Hand Meridians, 3 Yin Leg Meridians, 3
Yang Leg Meridians, 12 Alternate Meridians, 12 Sinews
Meridians, and the Weird Meridians of 8 Channels.
2. Networks which includes 15 Networks, Floating Network, Sun
Network and 12 Skin Networks.
Out of these meridians and networks, there are 2 which belong to
the Weird Meridians of 8 Channels, are the most important one -
which is known as Ren Channel and Du
Channel.
I have seen authors translated Ren literally
to
Employment Meridian and Du literally to Supervisory
Meridian.
Yes, it is the correct meaning of the characters. I prefer to
use Ren and Du as it is in Pinying as, frankly,
I'm not too sure of its actual meaning to render it correctly in
English. The reason I use 'Channel' is to differentiate these
from the meridians which is more accurate to describe its nature.
Qi travels around this two major Channel to ensure your organs
and internal systems function properly. The complete travel of
the Qi through Du and Ren Channels forms a
complete circulation cycle which is known as One Heavenly
Circulation.
If the Qi did not complete the Heavenly Circulation, and
gathers at Dantian, then whatever Qi we absorb or
collected will be lost or faded away. Therefore it is important
for you to make sure that the Qi is able to travel
through both Du and Ren Channels.
Thus it is important to make sure that these Channels are
connected while breathing - to guarantee that Qi flow
smoothly through your body and serve you as your diehard loyal
servant.
And this is specifically why it is important to Connect the
Channels - to increase the Qi circulation and guarantee
you the maximum effects of whatever practices that you are doing
now. This also increases the effectiveness of Abdominal
Breathing manifolds.
The best thing about this technique, you don't have to lift a
finger to do it. Straightly out-of-the-mind simple! It's sad to
see that many do not know this technique and reap it powerful
benefits for better health. You can find out more about this
technique at www.TaichiBreathing.com
