About this book
This book on traditional qigong by the
famous European Master Yuri Razhev (Shi
San-yan) opens a new era in the study of the
secrets of the great art of Gongfu - a
purposeful journey to health and the highest
peaks of the Spirit. When writing this book,
the Author used materials from the collection

of Tao”), as well as his personal experience
gained while studying qigong in a Taoist monastery in Time of his stay in Sichuan.
This book is brand new. It preserves a
holistic approach to the psychophysical and
spiritual development of a person, and
traditional qigong techniques are presented
without omissions, simplifications and profanities.
The effectiveness of the training methods
outlined in this book has been tested over
several centuries by many generations.

What is qigong?
Among the healing systems known to man,
qigong (qi is the universal life energy, gong is
the fruits of work) occupies one of the leading
places. According to the complex effect on the
body of a sick and healthy person, only Indian
yoga can be compared with it. The popularity
of qigong is very high. Various styles of qigong,
and there are already several of them in China
hundreds, tens of millions of people are systematically
involved.
Qigong exercises performed both statically
(jinggong) and dynamically (dungong), gently
(zhu angong), or hard (ingong) contribute to
the accumulation of vital energy (qi) in the
body, heal a weakened body and heal from
many diseases, as well as develop the creative
potential of the individual. At present, there are
hundreds of instructors and many qigong
schools in Beijing alone. Scientific symposiums
are regularly held, bringing together scientists
from the countries of the West and the East.
rooted in the distant past.
When did he appear?
The origins of modern qigong should be
sought in ancient China, where it originated
from numerous attempts by Xian, Taoist and
Buddhist sages to extend their earthly life by

researchers believe that qigong has a history
of 3,000 years and became especially popular
during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Other
experts claim that it is 5,000 years old and is
the same age as Chinese culture. There were
also those who claim that, according to
archaeological finds, its age is 7000 years.
According to my Master, Mr. Chen Zhenguan,
qigong belongs to a prehistoric culture, and at
present, only a few Chinese monasteries are
the keepers of the ancient knowledge of lost
civilizations. What we now call qigong had
other names in ancient times. Even if you

Qigong "Baduanjin"

centuries ago. It is closely related to the
Taoist tradition of seeking immortality. As

in hard-to-reach places, most often in the
mountains, and with the help of meditative
practice, various exercises, alchemical
preparations and potions from herbs and
minerals, they tried to prolong their lives and
achieve longevity. In traditional Taoism, which

Military 8 pieces of brocade
The legendary general Yue Fei (1103-1142)
is believed to have developed eight special
exercises to keep his soldiers agile and
healthy in the field. He selected and combined
within the framework of one system the best
therapeutic exercises accumulated over
millennia before him by healers, scientists
and Taoist alchemists. Yue Fei wanted to
teach his soldiers to charge their bodies
with energy before long forced marches or
fighting, to strengthen their fighting spirit,
to help them fight not only external but also
internal enemies: to protect their body from
the invasion of "cold" qi and other pathogenic
factors - infections and microorganisms, or,
more simply, to increase the level of wei-qi
(protective energy), like a cocoon, enveloping
the human body and not allowing diseases
to penetrate into it. Soon, Yue Fei's troops

Starting position
The posture should be natural and as
comfortable as possible. The main purpose
of the starting position is to prepare our
body for the beneficial effects of exercise.
The main task is muscle relaxation,
ensuring free circulation of energy and
blood, freeing the mind from external
stimuli and internal experiences.
Requirements for the initial position
In order to correctly assume the initial
position, 18 basic requirements must be
observed. 1. "Take a natural pose." Stand
straight and press your feet completely
to the floor. Distribute your body weight
evenly on both legs. The body is relaxed
and in absolute peace. This position helps
to relax the lower back and

2. "Bend your knees slightly." This usually
refers to the free and natural position of the legs,
the relaxation of the area of the knee joints while it seems that the legs are slightly bent at
the knees. But in any case, the projection of the
knees should not go beyond the line of the front
of the feet. This position of the legs facilitates the circulation of chi energy through
leg channels.
3. "Round the crotch." Make a circular motion
with your knees out and then in, while slightly
straightening your knees. The rounding of the
perineum helps facilitate the circulation of chi
energy.
4. "Squeeze the anus" - with a light effort
tighten the obturator muscles of the anus, slightly
pushing the buttocks forward and ensuring the closure
of the Huiyin point in the lower "cinnabar
field".
5. "Slightly draw in the stomach." It is
necessary to slightly retract the lower abdomen
so that during the exercise there is no excessive
tension of the abdominal muscles.

about the posture of the "horseman".
One of the main reasons why many students
do not succeed in qigong despite many years
of practice is the weakness of their source of
internal energy in the lower "cinnabar field".

among other benefits, you will be able to walk

is that it forms beautiful, toned buttocks.
in the lumbar region, a strong forward deflection
is formed - hyperlordosis. If you go to the
mirror, stand sideways and see such a deflection
- this is a signal that it is time to strengthen
your buttocks! Very often, women want to
strengthen this particular muscle group. And
no wonder! After all, tightened buttocks give a
sense of confidence, allow you to wear any
tight clothes and feel like a queen! And this is
another weighty argument in favor of "Poses

Tightened buttocks are not only beautiful,
but also important for health: our posture
depends on the tone of the gluteal muscles. Not
everyone knows that elastic buttocks help keep
the body upright. It is known that during a long
sitting in the office or in front of the TV, the
gluteal muscles do not work, and when walking,
the front surfaces of the thighs take on most of
the load, while the buttocks get only a little.
This creates an imbalance between the muscles
of the anterior and posterior thighs. And, as a consequence, in

Five principles of practice
1. Relaxation. Relaxation of the body
allows you to stably take any "shape" with a
minimum of tension. During relaxation, life
energy rests in the body, and does not flow
out of it. Relaxation does not mean emptying
the body, but filling it. It is in a state of
relaxation that vital energy can maximally
saturate the vessels and organs of the body.
2. Control. Control means the development
caused
of the functions of awareness by, sensations,
which manifest themselves not only in the
process of relaxation, but also play the role of
fixing energy in the places where it enters. 3.
Calm. In order for the energy to manifest
itself as much as possible in the stage of
relaxation, it must be harmonized. The state of
calm implies this harmony from the position
of non-action (wu wei).
4. Absorption. It is a rather complex energy
process. It can be spoken of only in relation to
those who for a long time
engaged in spiritual practices.
Absorption in terms of its external action in the “Canon
of Changes” (“I-ching”) is expressed by the trigram
“Dui” (“Reservoir”), and in terms of internal action - by the
trigram “Zhen” (“Thunder”). "Reservoir" expresses all the
available energy, and "Thunder" - the body's reaction to the
newly emerging energy, which is driven into the vessels of the
human body. Actually, the opposite in manifestation is a
process known as hiccups. 5. Effort. Effort is the continuation
of absorption. Naturally, this applies to those practitioners
who have a certain amount of practical experience and
the necessary level of training. After internal energy is
swallowed, effort is required to place it in the lower dan tian.
Effort is applied both to direct the energy to the lower dan tian
and to achieve relaxation so that the energy can freely descend
and reach its place.
destination.

Major mistakes in practice
1. Excessive tension of attention.
Practitioners often strive to immediately
begin the practice of focusing attention on
certain points of the body. At the first stages
of practice, one should not strive to artificially
stimulate the circulation of qi or any
sensations in the body, since this leads to
excessive tension of the consciousness and,
as a result, to tense, unnatural positions of
the body. Correct postures by themselves
ensure the free circulation of qi. 2. Too slow
movements. Don't artificially slow down.
Qigong exercises cannot have a
predetermined speed. Proper relaxation of
the body and mind creates a natural rhythm
and speed of movement. 3. Sudden
accelerations and jerks. Most often this
happens when moving from one position
by doing so, you completely lose the effect of calm breathing
and stabilizing qi.
4. Holding the breath.
Long breath holdings should not be
practiced, especially for those who practice
qigong as a health complex. Try to forget
about breathing altogether - and it will improve by
5. Breathing from
the chest. Make sure to breathe in the
lower part of the abdomen, but in no case

Three best medicines
The purpose of the Baduanjin practice is to

human body so that they are interconnected with
each other and function harmoniously so that the
vital energy circulates freely throughout the body,

The activation of the Dan Tian in the human

effect on the circulation of qi in the body as a

Dantian - literally translated as "field of elixir"
or "field of cinnabar", i.e. energy centers where a
cure for all diseases is created
or alchemical elements to achieve
longevity.
It should be borne in mind that the Dan Tian or
"cinnabar fields" are the main centers of the "subtle

In qigong, it is traditionally customary to distinguish three
areas of Dantian or "cinnabar fields": 1.
Xia dantian - the lower "cinnabar field" with the
center at the Qihai point - is the root and source
of vital energy (qi).
If you connect the tips of the large
fingers and pull down the joined tips

resulting "heart" and there will be an area of
\u200b\u200bthe lower cinnabar field. This is the
place where the generative force (ching) is
retained in such a way that it does not slip down
and flow out. In the lower "cinnabar field" it is
concentrated and purified. The rear border of the lower "cinnabar field" lumbar region centered on the Mingmen point.
The lower limit of the "cinnabar field" is the
Huiyin point. It is there that a narrow cavity is
located, open in the presence of qi and closed in
its absence. Three "wonderful" meridians come
out of this place - "Think", "Renmai", "Zhongmai",
and all other meridians converge here. Through
concentration on this area, one can achieve the
transformation of the sexual substance (ching)
