Qigong’s major function is to cultivate and nourish the Qi. Whereas Taijiquan; lowers the Qi to the lower Dantian/abdomen to connect and sink the Qi into the earth; which then allows for the Yin Qi to channel and move into the collaterals and meridians; to balance and activate its medicinal wonders. The French physiologist Claude Bernard said “all the vital mechanisms, however varied they may be, have only one object, that of preserving constant the condition of life in the internal environment.”‘
Oh! My Nerves!
When doing Taijiquan and Qigong, the homeostasis of the organism is like at rest; but the circulation of blood is similar to that of the body in motion. The circulation of blood is improved. When the body is resting, the major portion of the blood flows to the abdominal organs: stomach, intestines, and liver. Blood flow to the stomach and intestine facilitates the secretion of digestive juices that aid the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. A master of Taijiquan not only relaxes the skeletal muscles but also softens the internal organs. When suspended, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems can function properly, allow¬ing the organs to be adjusted. While practicing Taijiquan, the activity of the abdominal organs, especially the digestive and absorption functions of the stomach and intestines will be increased, but minimal physical power will be consumed.
Taijiquan and Qigong’s practice requires “quiet of mind and relaxation of the body” as well as “seeking the quiet within the movements” It is a restful motion that promotes the conservative and restorative functions of the parasympathetic system. The Bubbling Well is a physical concept based on the biomechanics of the human foot, which has 52 bones and various types of connective tissue. It is a balance, weight, and energetic point or gate and an essential part of our foundation training. Qigong and Taijiquan assist in the regulation of the autonomic nervous system and enhanced sympathovagal balance. Qigong and Taijiquan can indirectly improve thinking and memory by improving mood and reducing stress, depression, and anxiety.
