Ma Quanyou: Set at Mingmen in Taijiquan

3. The prerequisite for the destiny of the gate lies in the internal qi foot

You need to pay attention to the truth... This reminds that it is very important to practice Tai Chi to fill the waist and abdomen with Qi, and let the internal Qi support the Mingmen acupoint. If you want to develop sufficient internal qi, and qi rushes to your life, you must first understand what internal qi is? Human internal qi is also called true qi, which is composed of vitality, zongqi, yingqi, and wei qi. The vitality is the innate qi, which is the movement of the kidneys. Therefore, when practicing boxing, qi should penetrate the lower back and both kidneys. Let the internal energy be exchanged between the two kidneys; Zong Qi is the fresh air inhaled from the natural world, which penetrates the heart and ascends to the lungs to promote the flow of Ying Qi, and guard qi, so we should choose fresh air when we practice. Natural environment; Yingqi is the essence of water and valleys obtained by digestion. After gasification, it acts on the blood and nourishes the cells of the whole body. Therefore, I often laugh to my disciples: You must eat, drink, and exercise vigorously when practicing boxing to produce internal qi; The fierce Qi of Mizutani spreads out of the veins to resist the intrusion of external evil and viruses, so the purpose is to practice Taijiquan hard and cleverly to keep the Qi in the body.The internal qi can penetrate the meridian, and the meridian is the channel for the circulation of qi and blood.

If you practice Tai Chi for a long time, you will feel ample internal Qi. First, the internal Qi will fill your waist and abdomen, and then the internal Qi will flow through your body. If you want to generate sufficient internal qi, you must have the right mind to guide you, and achieve the internal and external harmony, the shape is in the mind, the mind is in the shape, the mind must move, the shape must follow, the mind leads the body with the body, and the qi urges. When performing a fist, the main points of mind must be loosened, the head must be topped, the shoulders must be heavy, the hips must be open, the breath must be heavy, and the strength must be soft. It is necessary to clarify that the fundamental purpose of practicing Taijiquan is to cultivate the Qi in the Dantian, and gradually penetrate the whole body, smooth the meridians, promote the circulation of Qi and blood, maintain health through the body, smooth internal strength, and strengthen self-defense.

The production of sufficient internal air is also closely related to breathing. Respiration plays a certain role in inducing the production of internal qi. When I practice boxing with my apprentice, breathing is coordinated with movement, wide opening and closing movement and sinking movement are coordinated with breathing, and natural breathing is used for excessive movement. Open inhale and exhale, inhale and sink in and out. When the internal energy is running, my practice method may be different. I once published an article about the internal Qi movement of the momentum. A friend asked me: "Teacher Ma Quanyou, why are you going to be the opposite of others?" The practice is different. I am not superstitious of masters and masters. I only want my own feelings. As long as it is good for health, good for health, and good for the growth of skill, it is enough. For example, eating big fish and meat is better? Is it better to eat radish and cabbage? This depends on needs and varies from person to person. When I practice Tai Chi, the Qi movement is " Xiao Zhoutian retrograde".

To practice Taijiquan, you must first get through Xiao Zhoutian, how to get through it, practice it with your mind and your brain, that is, practice your boxing with your heart and develop a habit. Over time, your internal energy can run. Xiao Zhoutian means that the Ren pulse descends, passes the perineum, goes to the gate of life, and the Governor pulse rises.Pass the Yuzhen Pass, pass Baihui, and fall into the pre-dantian. This is how I practice when I regain my momentum and Qi, but when I start my momentum or use the Qi in fists, I use Xiao Zhoutian to go retrograde. When inhaling, the diaphragm qi machine opens, and the internal qi rises from the dantian, taking the Ren channel, passing the Baihui, passing the jade pillow, and descending along the governor channel to the rear dantian, which is the life gate, filling the lower waist The natural depression in the place, the gas supports the gate of life. Relax through the back waist, relying on gravity to make the buttocks fall and make the abdomen full of breath. To pass through the small week and the sky, it is necessary to pass through the big week. Not only through the relaxation of the whole body, the internal qi can go up to the Laogong acupoint, and the qi will reach the end, and it will sink to yongquan acupoint , and the qi will sink to the foot.

Through the practice of fist and qi, small Zhoutian retrograde, I have enough internal qi, my body is strong, and my work is full of energy. I dare to say: "Little Zhou Tian is retrograde, Qi supports the gate of life, it feels so good to be at the gate of life in the work!" (Text/Ma Quanyou)
