Beginners should practice Qi Gong breathing first. Breathing practice is the foundation of further learning. You can do these practices at home, and try to feel your breath in and out. Then you will find the differences.
This Guide Includes Fifteen Qigong Breathing Techniques And The Breath-in and Breath-out of ‘Washing Marrow’ using Reverse Abdominal Breathing
This refers to a person’s usual breathing frequency, habits, and methods.
Chest Breathing: When inhaling, the abdomen slightly contracts, the air does not descend, the chest expands, the spine lifts to allow complete inhalation into the chest, and relaxation occurs during exhalation. Inhaling should not be too forceful.
There are two types:
This involves nose inhaling and nose exhaling for a slightly longer duration than natural breathing.
This involves mouth inhaling and mouth exhaling, similar to prolonged breathing.
This involves the nose inhaling and the mouth exhaling.
Build upon nose inhaling and nose exhaling, making an effort to fill the lungs and exhale fully.
Involves short, rapid abdominal contractions to generate force, resulting in a burst of air from the nose.
Involves inhaling through the nose or mouth, holding the breath, and then exhaling. The duration can vary from 2 à 10 seconds.
Inhale twice quickly through the nose, followed by a longer exhale.
Inhale without making a sound, and exhale with the required sound.
Inhale through the mouth, then swallow the air into the abdomen as if drinking water, and exhale slowly through the nose.
Similar to an infant in the womb, breathing is very slow, with a frequency dropping to one or two breaths per minute.
Also known as hibernation breath, it involves not using the nose or mouth for breathing but relying on the whole-body pores. Fetal breath and turtle breath are natural outcomes of prolonged Qigong practice and should not be forced.
Practice Steps for Reverse Abdominal Breathing:
Factors Influencing Practice Intensity:
Focus your thoughts on the Lower Dantian, the area below the navel (about four fingers down), when breathing in and out.
While inhaling, concentrate on Changqiang Point, where energy gathers. Clear energy rises along the Governing Vessel, reaching Baihui; when exhaling, energy descends along the Conception Vessel, sinking to Huiyin. Inhale and exhale in a circular pattern, following the microcosmic orbit – a pathway along energy channels. This involves a complete cycle of one inhalation and one exhalation circulating through the body. This may take some time for beginners to grasp, and it’s recommended to have guidance from a teacher during practice.
During Inhalation:
Focus your thoughts on Changqiang point, drawing in energy. Clear energy rises along the Governing Vessel, reaching Baihui.
During Exhalation:
Let the energy descend along the Conception Vessel, sinking to Huiyin.
