None of the existing religions in the world, not a single natural science will deny the fact of man's connection with nature and even the dependence of human life on nature. According to the Chinese spiritual practice of Tao, qi energy gives us life, supports us throughout our journey, and our death is nothing more than the complete depletion of this energy in our body.
Many illiterate people, who at all times were the majority in the world, do not consider it necessary to take care of their body even at the level of elementary hygiene, not to mention even trying to understand what qi energy is. The exercises offered by taijiquan, qigong or yoga do not require any special equipment, training, or even any special education. Since it is believed that everything that a person needs for his personal development and maintenance of he alth is given to him from birth. Moreover, each person is given qi energy in an amount sufficient to live for more than a hundred years (how much more, everyone decides for himself).
The level of development of modern people, if we discard everythingtechnological advances, which, by the way, are a constant source of problems and which deplete qi faster, have remained unchanged over the past few centuries. This means that a person, in pursuit of external comfort, is constantly trying to replace the natural process of self-improvement with something outside his body. For example, instead of giving themselves an hour or two doing breathing exercises, people agree to use drugs that never cure, but only temporarily remove the symptoms. At best, a young man or woman will stop smoking and go to the gym regularly, which is also not enough.
To understand what qigong is, what this ancient practice can give a person, you must at least try to break out of the usual way of life and not interfere with your body to restore its connection with mother nature.
It's not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, and chi can be felt by anyone, regardless of age, gender or even diet.
At the initial stage of familiarization with the values and natural power of nature, it is necessary to abandon the rational perception of oneself as a social unit. In nature, everyone is equal in terms of access to energy, social position in it is nothing more than a senseless prejudice. It is necessary to consider one's own being as part of the universal process and accept the changes that will inevitably come in the process of qigong practice.
And lastly, do not forget that homo sapiens is a social being, for which morality, unlike animals, is a mandatory criterion for self-esteem. From the point of view of qigong, the cleansing of the body is inseparably connected with the cleansing of the soul, and the presence or absence of diseases is directly related to the moral purity of a person. This last statement contradicts many, if not all, postulates of modern society. But modern academics have nothing to offer in return, they have nothing that could refute this assertion.
