http://www.discoverthefire.com/ how to meditate, yoga, meditation Method to improve qigong meditation When people first come to qigong meditation, they're often surprised to find out that they've been breathing the wrong way for most of their lives. Most people come to WISH and other qigong centers with the bad habit of breathing shallow breaths from the chest. This alone is one of the major culprits in health problems involving low energy, headaches, immune dysfunction, stomach disorders, and emotional problems. As the new qigong meditation student begins to change their breathing pattern to a slow, deep, rhythmic breath from the Dan Tian (the area 2-3 inches below the navel), the most common reaction I've seen over the years is that the person feels as if they are "reborn." As the qigong aspirant begins to make Dan Tian breathing a regular and eventually habitual form of life, the increased oxygenation of the body results in greater energy, a clearer head, relief from gastro-intestinal problems, and relief from chronic aches and pains. Additionally, the increased oxygenation from Dan Tian breathing gives people a higher metabolism and reduced cravings for sugar and junk food. Yes, you heard me right, the breathing methods taught in qigong meditation have helped countless people overcome obesity and weight gain problems after other methods have failed. Another interesting benefit of Dan Tian breathing is that it forms the basis for the meditation practices in many Eastern systems of spiritual cultivation (Zen, Vipassana, Yoga, etc.). Without realizing it, many qigong students find that they are happier, more content, and less prone to emotional instabilities such as rage, anxiety, and depression. With all these changes that come from the practice of Dan Tian breathing, it's no wonder that the word "reborn" is so commonly used to describe the experience of the new qigong student. http://www.discoverthefire.com/blog/2011/04/18/qigong-meditation
