This exercise is useful even for those who experience pain in the knees, because often problems in the joints of the knees are associated with weakness of the muscles of the body (especially the back) with little mobility during the day!
Practicing Taoist Walking
There are points on the knees, the stimulation of which is useful for internal pathologies. Taoist walking treats diseases of the kidneys and liver, and Chinese medicine generally considers this practice effective for all ills!
What are the advantages of "knee" walking compared to other loads? First of all - availability and absence of contraindications! The result will be noticeable even if you spend a quarter of an hour daily on this exercise!
No special equipment is required, only a soft blanket on the floor. You need to move slowly (but without leaning your hands!) On your knees! If at first the knee joints respond with pain to an unusual load, you should put another soft blanket or learn to walk on the mattress. The muscles will be trained - the pain will disappear, it will become easier to walk on your knees.
It is amazing that the practice of Taoism helps to improve eyesight! There are active points in the knee area that stimulate the proper functioning of the organs of vision, liver, and kidneys.
To create a psychological mood, it is better to walk on your knees with your eyelids closed. With internal focus on walking, the effectiveness of classes will manifest even faster! Daily practice will give a nice bonus - your legs will become slimmer and thinner!
An addition to the “knee” physical activity will be an exercise to strengthen all organs “Golden Rooster standing on one leg”. It perfectly restores harmony in the whole body!
Stand on one leg "Golden Rooster"
Starting position - standing, relaxed, arms lowered along the body and eyes closed. Raise one leg and freeze like that. The execution time is several minutes.
Important! Do not open your eyes while performing! The absence of a visual picture will make it difficult to maintain a balance position, and the brain will have to restore internal balance in order to cope without the help of vision.
When leaning on one foot and maintaining balance, there is an impact on the points of the foot associated with the 6 main internal organs, which has a positive effect on the work of all systems.
It is recommended to practice the “Golden Rooster” after waking up, starting with standing for a couple of minutes on each leg and increasing the duration of the exercise as you gain experience.
Gives a positive effect when:
- diseases of the thyroid gland (progress is most noticeable if the source of the problem is the hypothalamus and pituitary gland);
