Of course,
progression
in things
is usually from
a part
to the whole.
In the whole world only humans are very intelligent and only humans suffer the
most illnesses.
Somatic
qi undergoes different
^ kinds of changes
^ brought about
by different kinds
of
illnesses.
Below we mention
a few of
the important
phenomena
:
1.
The blocked qi model:
In the bodies
of ordinary people,
qi
circulates
in the body in accordance with fixed principles and from this
forms
a rigid whole.
If
in a certain part of the body the qi
is blocked for
a
period of time then a change due to illness will occur.
On the other hand,
if
there
is
a change due to illness,
then qi will be blocked.
Thus
the illness
and the blockage are mutually cause and effect.
Moreover,
a part that
is
blocked will
in turn influence other parts causing other organs
to lose their
functions and become
ill.
Observing from the standpoint
of the qi
function,
it
is not difficult to discover the phenomena of
qi blockage.
It manifests
itself
in
a thickening of
the sick qi.
Some
of the core
(the phlegm)
of
the
sick qi will become spotted,
some round,
and some fragmented.
Just
as
the
condition of
illness will differ so will
the color of the blocked qi differ as
well
.
2.
The
top and bottom unbalanced model:
What practitioners of Chinese
medicine and qi
call
n the heart and the stomach don't mix just
as
fire and
water don't mix"
is an example of this model which mostly afflicts the
.
_
elderly.
The shape this model takes
is:
the bottom parts are cold,
"fire qi"
(some
real,
some
false)
rises
up,
the Yin in the stomach
is
insufficient,
Yang
in the kidneys overflows;
sickness
is common to this model.
It
is necessary
to undertake adjustments
to the whole body until
the system reaches
the
equilibrium known as the harmony of Yin and Yang.
3.
"Correct qi"
is
insufficient,
"abnormal
qi"
flourishes.
This model
manifests itself
in a weak body with many illnesses.
In some cases,
it
manifests
itself
in the breaking away of the inner organs
(such as
miscarriages,
hernia,
and gastroptosis)
.
It
is necessary to undergo training
in qi or
a cure by nurturing original
qi and dispelling the abnormal
qi
.
2.
Developing the Best Characteristics
of Somatic Qi
Somatic
qi
is
the principle that unites
the whole of
the human body.
Because
of
this,
if we can get somatic qi
to develop
in the best way,
then we
will be able
to achieve
a strong,
healthy body and even reverse aging.
.
The
ancients
said:
"Qi makes
for long life."
If we wanted to describe China's
science of prolonging life from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qmg
dynasties,
we could do
so
in one word
:"qiJ"
The Chinese practice of
qi
is one kind of life prolonging science that
makes somatic qi develop
in the best ways.
The practice of
qi,
by clearing
the channels
in the body that transport
qi,
can strengthen the interchange
of
inner and outer
qi,
gradually strengthen the body,
strengthen one’s ability to
control and regulate the body,
and achieve
a Yin Yang equilibrium of
the
bodily systems.
With the bodily systems
stabilized,
health and long life will
result.
After this,
there will be
a beneficial influence on the body’s
internal
systems such as
the urinary system,
the blood circulation system,
the
digestive
system,
the nervous
system,
and so
forth.
The effectwill be such
that even organs
that have lost their functions
, such as
the brain
, the bo
y,
and the thyroid,
will
revive;
white hair will turn black;
rejuvenation and
other phenomena will occur
.
