In China, people look forward to retirement because they are free to spend time with friends and do their favorite things. From this point of view, longevity after retirement is very meaningful. Anything that helps this will naturally enter the daily life of Chinese retired people.
When I visited Beijing, the capital of China in 2003, I was amazed at the number of elderly people in the park every morning. They participated in informal group activities, including ballroom dancing, knitting, calligraphy, music performances and exercises, Tai Chi and some Other little-known martial arts, ... walk.
However, this is different from walking. They are moving backwards. I asked an elderly gentleman to explain this to me. He told me that these people are returning to their youth. I am not completely satisfied with his answer, but his English is limited and my Mandarin does not exist, so I did not pursue this matter further.
After a while, I co-produced a movie with a Hong Kong master qigong master. I asked him to walk on his back and found his answer to be more instructive. He pointed out, "When you move forward, you can consider other things - shopping lists, things that happened in the past, concerns about the future - you don't really exist in you. You must be there, or you will fall." Then he added an important point of view and has been bothering me since then. This is a hidden key that is easily overlooked.
"Every second you spend on your body is healing you."
It sounds too simple. Of course, if this is the case, the cure will be much easier than it is now. Well, the truth is that the body continues to heal, recover and rebuild without our conscious intervention. In fact, in many cases, although our mental and physical activities are not so healthy, the process continues.
The important value of meditation and mindfulness. That is the time we are practicing, we are no longer hindering our recovery process. Of course, when we think about meditation, we usually think of someone sitting quietly, possibly twisting into an impossible position, not a human pretzel. If you feel that this idea is offensive, you may be happy to learn that meditation can be accomplished through a simple activity such as walking, moving forward or returning. The key is how you manage your own consciousness.
When walking backwards, you will tend to anchor your consciousness naturally along your central axis, as you will feel the most balanced. You will also listen behind you, which is another important aspect of the improvement of health awareness. Stepping back lightly and stepping on your boots as you walk is also known to stimulate the flow of air. Along some meridians from the foot to the torso.
Of course, you need to pay special attention to avoid accidents. This in itself is a health-enhancing approach. When considering our own well-being, we cannot underestimate its value during these stressful times, which can easily be placed at the bottom of our list of priorities.
Walking backwards is just one of a large group of simple forms of movement, collectively referred to as "qigong." ' Qigong' consists of two Chinese words: ' Qi' - often translated as "living power", "锣" and "锣". - Usually translated as ' work', so ' Qigong' means a way to work with your vitality or vital energy. However, ' qi' is not just "energy". It not only activates the energy of all living things, but also acts as an information and carrier in the individual's energy system. Therefore, there are some kinds of "qi". It is considered to enhance health, while others are not. Some forms of Qigong exercise aim to get rid of "angry" to promote the smooth flow of "healthy gas." Our thinking and intentions play a vital role in Qigong practice.
Many of the most basic qigong exercises are easy to learn and practice, although you can continue to practice them for a lifetime without exhausting the possibility of further development. There are also various forms of imprisonment or maximum exercise that can even benefit those who recover from illness or injury or who are inconvenient to move. For anyone who is willing to spend a little time studying and practicing regularly, Qigong really has great benefits. This is the beauty of Qigong exercise.
