Richard Clear asked:


In Chinese medicine there are at least five different primary methods of healing and there are numerous other lesser known methods of healing. The main five methods of healing are acupuncture, herbology, Chi Kung, bone setting and tuina massage. Each of these methods has many subcategories, methods and different schools of thought.

YIN & YANG

BALANCE = UNITY OF POLAR OPPOSITES

TCM utilizes Chi and Yin and Yang theory. The basic idea as applied to Chinese Medicine is that balance is the proper state of health. Yin and Yang are polar opposites that are partly defined by each other such as big and small, fast and slow, hot and cold, action and stillness, light and dark, up and down, wet and dry etc.. If there is imbalance in the body, mind or spirit such as to much heat or to much cold then it is unhealthy and sickness will result. The goal of healing with TCM and healing Chi Kung is to restore, regulate and maintain Chi balance to the mind, body and spirit.

Yin and Yang theory is one of the least understood aspects of TCM by most Westerners because it is variable and not fixed. For example: Earth is Yang and Water is Yin. However, either can be yang/hot or yin/cold. Compared to hot water steam is Yin or light even though it is in a hotter (more yang) temperature state than the liquid hot water. Ice is more yang than cold water because it is harder than liquid water even though by virtue of the temperature it is in a colder (more yin) state. Fifty degree air temperature is yin compared to 100 degrees but is yang compared to 10 degrees.

ACUPUNCTURE MERIDIANS AND POINTS

The largest and most common school of thought in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) utilizes meridian and pressure point theory. Meridians are invisible pathways in the body much like the nervous system that carries electrical pulses and stimuli except the meridians are thought to be channels or pathways that Chi energy flows through. Where the meridian lines can easily be accessed from the body surface is where most of the pressure points are located. Quite often pressure points are located in the same vicinity of the body where a blood artery or large vein and large nerves or nerve bundles are near the surface of the body.

Wat is het verschil tussen Yoga en Qigong?

July 14, 2009 · Posted in Qigong Healing · Comment 
A. Thomas Perhacs asked:


Ben je moe van die kleine kleurige pillen dat uw goede arts voorschrijft op elk bezoek? U zou kunnen willen vinden sommige alternatieven voor standaard geneesmiddel voor vele redenen die kunnen bijwerkingen, grote medische rekeningen, en de tijd besteed aan elk bezoek aan het ziekenhuis, enz. Gelukkig kunt u kijken uit naar technieken zoals Yoga en Qigong die u veel dicht bij de natuur en holistische gezondheid.

Zowel de technieken concentreren op de verbetering van de individuele gezondheid door bepaalde bewegingen en ademhaling regelgeving. Naar een nieuw persoon die ze ziet er misschien hetzelfde, maar beide zijn ontwikkeld in verschillende richtingen hoewel hun doel in wezen nog steeds hetzelfde.

Wat is Yoga?

Yoga heeft zijn oorsprong in het oude India en is in de praktijk voor eeuwen. Yoga betekent in wezen op te sommen of te combineren. Om het in eenvoudigere woorden: het houdt zich te verbinden met de innerlijke ziel. Als men dat doet, innerlijke vrede is bereikt. Dit gezondheid oefening goed is voor bijna iedereen, ongeacht de leeftijd.

Mensen die doe aan yoga zitten of staan in een positie zoals verteld door de persoon die hen begeleidt, terwijl aan de andere kant sommige mensen doen het op hun zelf met behulp van boeken en andere middelen. Meditatie, trage ritme en positief denken zijn de fundamentele bouwstenen van deze therapie. Elk menselijk wezen, ongeacht de gezondheidstoestand kunt genieten van de voordelen van de yoga. In de moderne dagen Yoga heeft gevangen de fancy van veel en heeft zelfs gevonden aanvaarding onder beroemdheden.

Wat is Qigong?

Samurai krijgers en strijders die hebben deelgenomen aan swordfights in feodale China vaak nodig iets te rustig hun unfazed geesten. In hun zoektocht naar een oplossing vinden ze struikelde over het feit dat het lichaam van een mens is de winkel huis van energie. Zij onderzocht verschillende dimensies waarin mensen kunnen hun energie en het ontketenen.

Deze techniek vooral gewezen op het ritme van de ademhaling. Verder op, deze techniek is verfijnd en remodeled na diverse Qigong meesters.

Mensen die volgen deze therapie worden geleid tot swing hun lichaam langzaam en zachtjes, alsof ze in een slow-motion dans. Qigong meesters vinden dat energie zich in ons lichaam en als we kunnen tik vervolgens gezondheid en sterke lichaam kan worden bereikt.

Conclusie

Op het eerste gezicht zijn er de kans dat beide Yoga en Qigong kan verschijnen opvallend vergelijkbaar. Hoewel ze lijken veel op elkaar in termen van resultaat bereikt, maar de middelen die worden gebruikt zijn enigszins verschillend in beide therapie. In de yoga, de beoefenaars proberen te bereiken van de toestand van geluk, samen met de gezondheid, terwijl in Qigong, alleen het lichaam is samengesteld met een frisse geest is het gewenste doel te bereiken.

Yoga is de strenge discipline van houding, maar in Qigong wijzigingen zijn gemeld na elke tien jaar. Yoga kent vele stengels specifiek aangedrongen scholen van gedachten dat ontlenen hun praktijk van de oude teksten in het Sanskriet. Deze zegels van de echtheid van de Yoga dat Qigong werd uitgereikt door het weergeven ervan. Dus over een periode van tijd veel irrelevante houdingen vermengd met het origineel. Maar wat geldt ook voor hen beiden is het feit dat ze beide zijn behoorlijk effectief in het genezen van vele kwalen gezondheid.
