Not one of the religions existing in the world, not a single natural science will deny the fact of the connection of man with nature and even the dependence of human life on nature. According to Chinese spiritual practice, Tao, qi energy gives us life, supports us throughout our path, and our death is nothing but the complete depletion of this energy in our body.
Many illiterate people, of whom there have been a majority at all times in the world, do not consider it necessary to take care of their bodies even at the level of basic hygiene, not to mention trying to understand what qi energy is. Exercises that taijiquan, qigong or yoga offer do not require 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 health is given to him from birth. Moreover, each person is given qi energy in an amount sufficient to live more than a hundred years (how much more, everyone decides for himself).
The level of development of modern people, if we discard all technological advances, which, by the way, serve as a constant source of problems and from which qi depletes faster, has 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 devoting themselves an hour or two to breathing exercises, people agree to take medications that never cure, but only temporarily remove symptoms. In the best case, a young man or woman will give up smoking and will regularly go to the gym, which is also not enough.
To understand what qigong is, what this ancient practice can give a person, it is necessary to at least try to break out of the ordinary way of life and not interfere with your body to regain its connection with mother nature.
It is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, and qi energy can be felt by any person, regardless of age, gender, or even diet.
At the initial stage of familiarizing oneself with the values and natural strength 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, the social position in it is nothing more than a meaningless prejudice. It is necessary to consider your own being as part of the universal process and accept the changes that will inevitably come in the process of qigong practice.
And last, do not forget that homo sapiens is a social being for whom morality, unlike animals, is a mandatory criterion for self-esteem. From the point of view of qigong, purification of the body is inherently connected with purification 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 academics of modernity have nothing to offer in return; they have nothing to refute this statement.
