With age, organs wear out, muscles lose elasticity, bones and joints lose strength. Chronic or age-related illnesses, which are present in every patient over 50 years of age, do not add to health.

Taoist exercises were developed by the Chinese Bian Zhizhong, a follower of the Huashan schools of Tao. Today the age of this man has crossed the seventy-year mark, but he is still young and active.

The secret of his longevity and success in intimate relationships lies in the complex that he developed more than forty years ago. Today these practices are called “10 golden exercises” and have become available to everyone thanks to the person who described them in detail in his works.

The diagram is performed by hand, which improves the functioning of the shoulder and cervical spine.

Pay attention to the “Eight Diagrams” for those patients who suffer from:

• increased blood density and thrombophlebitis;
• headaches and dizziness;
• nervous system disorders;
• pathologies of cardio-vascular system(pleurisy, myocardial infarction, ischemia).

IMPORTANT!!! This activity affects the patient’s vestibular apparatus, improving his coordination and increasing the body’s endurance.

Starting position - as in the previous lesson. Once you have managed to relax your body and brain, you need to raise your arms to your shoulders, mentally imagining that there is something round and large in them. The knees bend, the left arm begins to rise very smoothly and is fixed in a position above the head. The hand of the second hand, on the contrary, goes down to the knees. From the outside it looks like a ballet step.

Next, you need to rotate your torso 45 degrees, while your pelvis and legs remain motionless. Left lower limb bends the knee up to 90 degrees and lifts off the floor, the right one remains in a half-bent state.

Now you need to move your right hand, drawing an octagon in the air, while working the whole hand, and the circle should be very large: the upper corner of the diagram should be above your head. From this moment on, the second hand should also describe the diagram, and the body should slowly turn around.

The exercise is alternately performed in both directions, with two hands tracing an imaginary figure eight in the air, but from opposite sides. The position of the legs is also important: when performing movements in right side and lifting, the right leg rises and lowers; when performing a movement to the left, the actions are performed similarly.

This is how the figure eight is described by both legs and arms. Stopping during execution is allowed after 16 movements have been made: 8 on each side of the body. Although the movement is performed slowly, the set should not take more than one minute.

"Flight of the Roc"

Taoist exercises often resemble the movements of some animal or bird, as indicated in their name. The following exercise will help improve coordination and get rid of extra pounds, for which women love it.

All human actions in this case are similar to the movement of the wings of a bird during flight. The main task of the patient performing the exercise is to describe a figure in the air with his hand that resembles an infinity sign (a figure eight inverted lengthwise).

To do this, you need to take the starting position while standing, bending your knees and lowering your arms along your body. The stomach is pulled in, the shoulders are straightened. Hands are raised to chest level as if there is a ball in them.

With this imaginary ball, you need to describe the figure eight first to the right, lowering it down and lifting it up at the farthest point. Next, the arms return to the chest parallel to it, and the body turns to the left, also lowering the “ball” down, lifting it up at the farthest point and returning it to the chest.

When changing the side of the movement, the hand at the top also changes: if the movement is performed to the right, the right hand is at the top, and vice versa.

The “flight” is performed 16 times, eight in each direction. The execution time also takes one minute. Free refills.

"The turtle draws in its head"

The turtle exercise is very popular among people who are overweight and diabetes mellitus formed against this background. It also strengthens nervous system and is considered useful for her diseases. It’s easy to do, just imagine how this amazing animal hides in its house, sensing danger.

The starting position is standard: standing, chest out, butt tucked, stomach tucked in, knees bent, arms along the body. The palms of the hands look at the floor, the limbs rise to chest level (both at once), and the elbows also need to be slightly bent. Next you need to proceed like this:

1. One of the limbs (the left) is lowered in a circle towards the stomach, while the palm slowly turns upward and stops under the right, as if you are holding a ball or a round vessel;
2. The body weight is transferred to the right leg, the body leans slightly forward and turns in the opposite direction. The knee of the left leg is bent, a half step is taken so that the right leg is straight, extended to the left;
3. The arms slowly rise up, as soon as they are at the top point (above the head), the palms, which were previously facing the person, are extended parallel to the ground;
4. The body leans forward and down until the performer is in the position of a rider on a horse, palms practically touching the ground;
5. At the level of the extended leg, the arms again rise to the stomach and chest, while the palms again turn towards the body.

In this movement, the shoulder joints and cervical spine actively work, which has a positive effect on their health. After performing the “turtle” four times to the right, you need to slowly turn around, transfer your weight to the other leg and repeat the exercise four more times in the other direction. When finished, stand up straight and relax.

"Soaring White Crane"

Performing the crane exercise helps strengthen cervical spine spine and eliminating diseases that occur in this part of the body.

The movement begins with a warm-up. You need to get into the starting position, clasp your hands at stomach level. The head, along with the neck, slowly stretches forward and, once at the farthest point (when it is no longer possible to stretch further), begins to fall down until the chin touches the neck. From this moment the head rises to a level position. At the same time it works shoulder region, but the body itself remains motionless.

After performing the movement four times, you can begin the exercise itself. The starting pose is the same. The movement begins with lowering the chin and pressing it tightly to the neck.

As soon as this moment has arrived, you need to stretch your chin and neck forward as a bird does when it wants to drink water from a source. Having reached the extreme point, you need to raise your head up as much as possible and straighten your back. The mouth must be tightly closed at all times! Four such classes are also required.

The next part of the workout is familiar to every person since childhood - these are standard head rotations in a circle. But they need to be performed very slowly, with your lips tightly pursed, while your hands are on your belt.

The movement is first performed to the right, the head turns and leans towards the shoulder, but does not touch it, then describes a circle forward and to the left. You need to linger over the second shoulder for 10 seconds, then return to the original position. The next lesson will be held in reverse side. The approach includes 8 movements, 4 in each direction.

Now you can start performing the movements upper limbs. Having removed them from your hips, you need thumbs rest on your waist and rotate your palms outward. Hands from the stomach, palms up, go to the chest, then to the head.

At the top point, the hands turn in opposite directions (the back sides are adjacent to each other) and fall parallel to the shoulders. Now you need to tilt your torso back a little and make eight movements with your arms, reminiscent of flapping wings, with your palms facing upward when performing the flapping.

The crane complex should be completed with this exercise. The arms are raised above the head parallel to the shoulders, palms facing each other, head straight. The limbs drop down and relax.

Now you need to perform a twist: first, the chin is lowered to the neck, pressing tightly against it, then the head is lowered to the chest, also pressing tightly. Now your back begins to work - you need to bend so that your chest touches your knees. At the same time, the head and hands relax and touch the floor.

You need to stay in this position for 5-10 seconds. This is followed by a slow unwinding in the same order: lower back, shoulders, neck, head, arms rise. These are the main movements of the complex, which are easy to perform for men of any age and different physical fitness.

Benefits of Taoist Exercises

Eastern practices include a huge number of exercises: they are collected in books and manuals on oriental medicine, are released in the form of video lessons, you can practice them independently in groups practicing such activities. What are the advantages of Taoist exercises compared to any other sports?

Regular exercise affects general health patient, and by choosing several exercises aimed at combating a particular ailment, you can very quickly achieve results that no modern doctor can guarantee.

In Taoist medicine there are exercises that improve the functioning of the organs of vision, the heart and blood vessels, the spine and its parts, the pelvic organs, etc. Each patient decides independently which one to choose and how many exercises to perform daily.

But all men and women, without exception, note a surge of vitality and energy, as well as new sensations received from sexual life.

The internal energy revealed during exercise activates the nervous and circulatory systems, which improves nutrition of the pelvic organs, and also promotes better communication between the brain and reproductive system using nerve impulses.

Intensifying, this energy results in multiple orgasms in representatives of both sexes, which brings brightness to the usual intimate relationships. And the return of a healthy sex life to older people brings a lot of joy and self-confidence, which also affects their overall well-being.

Eastern practices, including Taoist ones, are based on three principles. First - don't rush! It implies a measured flow of life, the absence of haste, which does not allow you to enjoy every minute you live.

In our haste, we miss a lot important points that may never happen again. The second principle is the absence of excessive emotionality throughout life.

Spending emotions (and, accordingly, nerve cells) must be done carefully and evenly so as not to prematurely “spill over” the internal energy that is so necessary in one’s declining years.

The third rule is to do exercises that give longevity and health. Daily small physical exercise, aimed at accumulating internal energy and revealing internal sources of energy, help fight many diseases that shorten the human lifespan.

By doing these simple rules, Can long years remain a healthy and active person.

Rhythm modern life sometimes it doesn’t give you the opportunity to properly take care of yourself and your health. This is especially true for women who always and everywhere try to be on time - to do things around the house and to fulfill all their duties at work. But such a rhythm of life certainly leads to various problems– this and women's diseases, and cardiovascular, and problems with the nervous system.

Also, with age, many women feel a decrease in sexual energy, a loss of former femininity and begin to lose interest in the sexual side of relationships. To return to great shape Taoist practices for women’s health will help you feel young, healthy and full of strength.

One Taoist master, who lived in the world for 250 years, shared his secrets of longevity. They apply equally to men and women.

2. Do not expose yourself to strong storms positive emotions just as important as the negative ones, since they, especially in older age, greatly expend vital energy.
3. Observe healthy image life constantly, eliminate bad habits.
4. Do qigong exercises regularly.

If the first three points are understandable to every person and are quite easy to implement in life, then the last point, namely qigong exercises, may raise questions among unenlightened people. It is worth saying that these practices can truly work miracles. Many women, having become acquainted with the healing practices of Tao, have greatly changed their lives in better side. Taoist practices help you feel young again, forget about women’s diseases, and normalize menstrual cycle, increase energy and inner strength.

Taoist sexual practices

Taoist sexual practices

When people make love, the qi in their bodies is strengthened and itself increases sufficiently. As chi becomes more abundant and strong, we feel more alive, creative, and vibrant with life. Our blood and other fluids flow faster, causing us to tremble and flush our faces. For many, the release that follows orgasm is often the time when we feel most relaxed and when the chatter of the mind and negative emotions seems to fade away. We feel fully present to what we are experiencing.

Now Taoists are not concerned with a lot of the cultural, moral and religious baggage that sex can be associated with in the West. They are more interested in exploring energetic motives, and Taoist practices as such were developed by studying heterosexual adults who use contraception and do not use violence. With all this in mind, they approached the exploration of the possibilities of stimulating the free-flowing qi within people with a sexually disinterested and pragmatic approach. Taoist sexual practices fall into two categories:

Sexual Qigong – techniques that increase sensitivity and awareness to the chi flowing within you and your partner, including techniques that help you achieve healing benefits from any qi practice.

Sexual meditation – methods that lead to profound religious experiences, often called divine awareness, enlightenment, emptiness, or universal love.
