Breathing on the practice of Qigong

Qigong breathing, including external respiration and internal respiration. The so-called external respiration is carried out outside air in the lungs and blood gas exchange, also known as pulmonary respiration. Within the so-called cell breathing is the blood and tissue gas exchange, also known as tissue respiration. Qigong in the breathing, the main means to adjust pulmonary respiration. To reach a uniform, fine slow, profound level, the ancients called the "vomit but thin, but rain is satisfied," the point, and then also have a favorable impact of internal respiration. By adjusting interest rates, decreased respiratory rate first.

By the ordinary people 16 to 18 times per minute can be gradually reduced to 6 times, 5 times, 4 times, individuals can be reduced to 1 to 2 breaths. As the deep, slow breathing, causing the upper and lower diaphragm significantly increased level of activity. Practice of ordinary people over time can be increased to 6,10 2,3 cm or 12 cm. Experiments show that: the diaphragm down 1 cm, the vital capacity can be increased about 300 ml vital capacity when seen Qigong is to improve significantly. After some time practicing pulmonary minute ventilation can be reduced 20-30%, while the tidal volume is significantly increased.

78% increase was observed. Alveolar gas composition during exercise increased carbon dioxide, oxygen reduction components. But this is not the body oxygen and carbon dioxide retention, but the unique role of qigong. At this point practitioners not only no sense of oxygen, but that unobstructed breathing, the mind clear and body comfort. Adjusted by breathing directly on the autonomic nervous system also. When the sympathetic nervous system to enhance expiratory pay hyperexcitability and reduce sympathetic nervous system excitability. When strengthening the breathing, the sympathetic nervous system hyperexcitability. This way we can strengthen the inspiratory or expiratory ways to strengthen the regulation and pay the sympathetic nerve sympathetic nerve activity, so as to achieve therapeutic purposes.

As the long, deep breathing exercises during the formation of gate chest pressure increase, natural increase venous return, thus promoting blood circulation enhancement. Also, because the upper and lower diaphragm significantly increased level of activity, will also give rhythm mild gastrointestinal liver and spleen by gentle to improve and strengthen the functions of the digestive tract. After a good appetite successful, as evidenced by significant increase in food intake. Also because of deep, slow breathing form of fine form, quite helpful practice meditation, and strengthening. The so-called "heart rate adjustment will be" is the concrete manifestation of this process. It seems not only by adjusting the interest rate effect on the respiratory system well, while on the cycle of the digestive system and practice meditation and other aspects also have a good effect.
