The XiHu breathing technique shown by Master Mantak Chia in this video👆🏻is a perfect means to prepare your mind and body for intense physical activity.
⠀
It can be applied before gymming, running, dancing, swimming, or performing on stage🏃🏻♂️💃🏼🤸🏻♀️🏊🏻♂️
Pretty much for anything that requires both concentration and relaxation.
⠀
The XiHu breathing technique is at least 5000 y.o. It originates from ancient China and was developed by Taoist warrior monks living in the mountains🏔️
⠀
They used to do the XiHu breathing while carrying big chunks of 🪵wood on their shoulders going up the stairs to boost their physical performance💪
⠀
This method was later used as a healing method in Classical Chinese Medicine to revive the body.
It is beneficial for reducing stress, clearing up your mind before any life challenges, and resetting and calming down your nervous system🧘🏻♂️
⠀
The name XiHu stems from how this practice sounds. We consecutively inhale in the lower abdomen, upper abdomen and the chest, and after that we do 3 deep exhalations in the reverse order: the chest, upper abdomen and lower abdomen.
⠀
Though, this is only the first part of practice, as XiHu is also known as Intermittent Breathing Technique. After the sequence of inhalations and exhalations, we hold our breath as long as we can, and then fill our body with air to repair the whole system.
