On the Yoga Mat – Calming QiGong- (3rd Movement)

If you can read the Chinese characters it is called ” Ta Yin Sir” (sorry I don’t know the meaning of this name. My guess work tell me it is a “great Yoga” movement: because “Ta” is big or great. Yin meaning Yoga and “Sir” meaning post).  This posting is very good for men longevity. Also for people, hoping for more children to come. It is anti-aging.  The master created this post from a great discovery of anicent  books. It help our endocrine system. Thus the “Fountian of Youth” is in this movement. It have the same benefit for women too. 

Warm Up

Stretch out and open both stretch out leg at 135 degree. Body Balanced upright at sitting position, on “Bottom of the Sea” Chakra, the stretched legs create a balance position. Then fold right leg and sit the “Bottom of the sea Chakra on it. Left hand touch the left toes and right hand rest on the left knee. Start pressing body forward to touch the toes. Do 9X.  Repeat the same movement with your right leg – with right leg stretched out and left leg folded. Breath normally. 

Note: When pressing  the body down to touch the toes, the body must also move to 135 degree facing.  All the position said are the ideal and you will eventually get to do it right.  However, beginners and the half healthy ones should only do or begin with what your body can do, Don’t over stretch yourself and cause injuries to yourself. We usually don’t use all these muscles that we are stretching in this pose. Try as much as possible to pull the big muscles behind your knee. Our body is inter-connected. Most of the movement concentrate on pulling the big muscles behind our knee. It is said that: “When the muscles is pulled and extend 1 ins. your life will extend 10 years of good health.”  So note: Don’t try to short cut this pulling of the muscles. The focus is on the pull, not how far your finger tip can touch your toes. That is not so important as the pulled at the knee muscles.  Which also mean to leave no gap at the knee area to the ground. (Am I too long-winded? Do you understand? if not, ask your trainer to explain further.)

I hope this picture give us a better idea of the benefits of all the stretching.

After the Warm-up : left leg stretch out, right leg folded and bump sit on it. (as warm-up position). Nose breath in, Lift up the Anus, press the breath there, hold the breath at the “Lower Tan Tian” Hold back your chin, consciousness focus at the “Lower Tan Tian” for 21 second, when the command say “Heng Kang” meaning put on “pressing force” at the Dan Tian. This cause the linking of the circular system, as shown in the picture above. While staying at that position for 21 seconds, also mind focus the “brow Chakra” facing the “Lower Dan Tian” .  These are added on movement from the warm up. After that, move body to original position.  Do 3X on Left leg then on right leg. Upon completion, stretch out both leg, shake and relax, before doing the next movement. 

Every holding of the breathe is to allow the blood to flow back to the heart. The pressing and hold force the blood to flow back to the heart. In normal situation, the blood vessel may be slightly block and less blood flow back to the heart, causing the body to become unbalance.
