Top The Important and Fundamental Rules of QiGong Practice (Part II ) (The Medical Aspect) The side effect of physic and mental disorder is usually seen among people practicing QiGong, Meditation, Zen Meditation, self-confine, feast, etc. Teachers and learners are Precautionary against each other. In fact it's because they have little medical knowledge. Discomfort symptoms caused by incorrect participation can generally be sorted out as the following: 1. Legs paralysis: Symptoms causes deficiency of both Qi and blood, sink due to a deficiency of Qi, stagnation due to heat or cold. In the religious field another kind of legs paralysis should be considered, which is caused by "mental factors", can be easily found in people having mental problems. In western medicine, this symptom appears as serious muscle weakness, hardness of the nerve of side collarbone in back vertebra, and nerve inflammation, etc. All of them have only one reason, that is, long time cross-leg sitting causes extravagated blood or catching cold, or blood vessel declination. Therefore, feet are weak and paralytic. That's why back in the Spring And Autumn Period (770-476 B.C.) and the Warring States (457-221 B.C.) in China people cross-leg sat in straw mats. But then changed to use Chair and Bed. The reason is that when the weather is cold, and warm-keeping is not sufficient, or sitting too long and lacking of movement cause lacking of circulation. Tibet Buddhists prostrate themselves before Buddha instead of sitting or cross-leg sitting for too long. One of their purposes is to prevent extravagation of blood circulation. 2. Stroke: this is the most frequently mentioned symptom. Especially things happen to some people that when they are cross-leg sitting practice. They feel weak suddenly, fall down, can hardly utter words, their bodies cannot move, or they even die suddenly. It includes cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral thrombus, cerebral anaemia, and insufficient oxygen. Cerebral hemorrhage is caused by too much mind working while meditate, vascular sclerosis, too much cerebral congestion, overuse of body strength, so that the vessels break. These symptoms often occur to Marshall Art players, weight lifters. Of course Marshall Art players include TangShouTao, KongShouTao, TaiQuanTao, Judo, SabreTao players and other kinds of boxing players. Cerebral thrombus is due to long time sitting, so that deposited anemia moves to neck artery or head. 3. Qi conflict to Vertex: it means too much thought in mind or too heavy concentrated over head area cause brain cavity hypertension, so that the patient may have hot and red face. Even when you put the center of the palm about one inch over the BaiHui Point (top area of the head skull), you will feel hot heat radiates through the head. The patient may feel quite discomfortable. What makes things worse is that, the hot heat may ascends following the heart beats. Those serious ill patients may suffer from insomnia, can not go to sleep all day along, being unable to think, or losing self-control. This kind of illness Cannot be cured by common tranquilization medicine, western medicines also does not have good effect on it. Only traditional Chinese medicines like JianLing Soup and ChaiHuLongGu Oyster Soup can cure this illness by induce the blood and Qi returning to its original place. 4. Involuntary movement: What is involuntary movement? In fact, after sitting in meditation or cross-leg sitting for a while, the heart blood circulation will be reduced, or the heart may lack of blood, so the compression and peristalsis of abdominal cavity and the heart is automatically speeded up. This results in a feeling that the belly keeps eating, or the body may wobble with the heart beats. But the less blood or oxygen in the heart, the more seriously the sway becomes. And vise visa. If continuing to do this way without lying down fully stretched, or moving a little bit, it always causes sweating all over the body, looking pale, or even the patient die of sudden myocardial infarction. Or some patients may suffer from hypertrophy of the heart, extravagated blood or hemorrhage of the heart. 5. Hallucination or mental disorder or insaneness or madness: when fasting to a certain period, the body may become short of blood sugar, which cause brain lacking of nutrition support and malfunctions. The patients may suddenly feel being caught by devils, or feel just like in Paradise, and seeing religious holy views. Therefore, it is better for participants to take some sugar, especially black sugar and Chinese date. For those who already has hallucination, the patient will be recovered after drinking strong sugar water and lying down for over half an hour, and wait until blood sugar level returns. As for insaneness, the patient may sit still dumbly all day long without eating and drinking, even not being able to realize urinating. This is caused by short of blood and oxygen in the head. Therefore, the patient should take excitable medicine in order to increase blood and oxygen supply in the head. As for madness, it is caused by over supply of blood in the head, which results in over excitement. These people consider themselves as distinguished, intelligent, virtuous and noble. They are fond of wandering, singing and dancing, endless talking, not going to sleep for all day long or for several days, not being able to realize danger in dangerous place, attacking and abusing their beloved ones, or self-beating, cutting and pricking. These patients must be treated by strong tranquilization medicine, or herbal medicines for clear the upper heat and wind remedy. And the patients will be recovered after a period of time. After recovery the patients will not remember their previous illness. Anyway, any symptom mentioned above to the participant should stop their practice right away. Therefore, incorrect medicinal knowledge or lacking of the sporting and practicing hygienic knowledge may cause side effect of their practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
