Preparation Movements and Warm Up - liàn gōng qián rè shēn - 练 功 前 热 身

Описание: Liu He Gong Masterclass 1
It’s important to relax the mind as well as relax the body, because one cannot thoroughly relax the body without relaxing the mind. We should be uninterrupted and the movements slow, soft and smooth.
 
Qigong is a cultivation exercise which benefits the physical body, the energetic or Qi body as well as the mind. It allows us to rebalance our mind, body and breath and with regular practice it enables us to create a healthy lifestyle and to help identify our true spiritual nature.
 
It is important to create the right conditions before, during and after practice to get the best results. According to the ancient Daoist way of understanding our relationship and connection with the universe, we allow our internal landscape to harmonise with the external landscape.
It is important to prepare the mind, body and breath before we start to practise. Qigong practices abide by the basic principles of the three ‘adjustments’ or three ‘tunings’. These are a way of calming the mental activity of the brain and turning on and tuning the mind, to tune into the breath and the body.
 
•    Tuning the Body
•    Tuning the Breath
•    Tuning the Mind
 
Qigong should never be practised when you are feeling physically cold, energetically cold or emotionally cold. The Qi will not flow very well and can even have an adverse effect. Good preparation is equally as important as a good practice and a good close.
 
The warm-up is not only a way of preparing the mind and body for the Qigong movements that follow, it is also very good exercise. Physically, when we loosen and rotate the joints, we exercise the ligaments and tendons as well as the membranes which secrete synovial fluid to lubricate the joints. This can improve many arthritic conditions. Energetically, we clear stagnant energy (Qi) that can accumulate around the joints. The stretching movements also help stimulate the meridian system as well as strengthen the muscular system. According to TCM, Qi draws the blood through the body. So when we stimulate the Qi circulation we also stimulate blood circulation.
 
Generally, when we have finished the warm-up, we feel warm and tingling, and have turned on and tuned into the body, breath and mind.
