The Five Breathing Exercises The Walking Tiger TAI CHI Club By Walter Jackson
The Five Breaths are Qigong exercises dating back to the 14th century and the
development of martial Qigong at the Shaolin temple. Photographs provided by

 The 5 Breathing Exercises The Walking Tiger Tai Chi Club By Walter Jackson This
set of exercises dates back centuries; to the origination of Tai Chi and
its brother arts of Hsing Yi and Bagua. The 5 exercises were designed to
energize all the key meridians, open up and balance body energy, and vastly
improve the depth and effectiveness of breathing.
The exercises are very compact, combining the dynamics of several Tai Chi
and Hsing Yi movements together in smooth, relaxed and flowing
movements.
When performing the movements, one must never push or strain into the
postures. Instead one must â relax intoâ the movements as if dropping lightly
into a big soft easy chair.
If you do the exercises twice daily; 20 repetitions per exercise, you will
gradually acquire a much stronger, more flexible and more relaxed body.
Throughout the sequences, one should try to relax as if embracing the earth.
Stay aware of your center, the area just below the navel. When moving,
never PUSH the energy. Rather, open up, relax and ALLOW the energy to
flow freely. Photographs were provided by Deanna Beach.
The pretty dark haired girl to my right is
Veronica, one of our most enthusiastic student
members.
PREPARATION: the Mountain stance To accomplish this, stand as if you are being
lightly suspended from the ceiling by a small
strand of hair attached to the top of your head.
Touch the tip of your tongue to the roof of the
mouth and keep it there throughout the exercises.
Relax the entire body. Let the chest sink slightly (donâ t force it). Relax the
upper back so the shoulder blades are separated and the back is rounded.
Relax the small of the back and hip joints so that the entire body weight is
centered between the feet.
Keep the knees loose and slightly curved, with the weight in the center of the
soles. Once you are able to relax in this posture the internal affect of gravity
and
the relaxation of the whole body will cause a swelling feeling in the
abdomen. The hands will also feel a little swollen and will have a blotchy,
reddish look.
At first, you may need to straighten your legs from time to time to relieve the
stress. As you become more practiced, you will be able to sustain the posture
for long periods. Most people have a tendency to overuse the knees in such
postures. The goal
should be to use the whole; not just the knees, to liquefy and relax into
position.
SALUTE THE SUN (Gazing through the prism) Form the thumbs and forefingers
together to form a triangle. Keep the
arms, back and shoulders as relaxed as
possible.
