Znovuzrození dechu - čchi-kung – Fojtík Ivan (2023)

All processes in the human body influence each other. This book also discusses why it is important to relax both the mind and body so that the information gained from this process can improve the management of the body. The focus of the book delves deeply into the process of breathing and the reserves that can be uncovered, paving the way for a more relaxed and healthier life. Proper breathing is abdominal breathing with significant engagement of the diaphragm. When inhaling, the diaphragm descends, compressing the abdominal organs, which provides a massage effect on these organs and supports blood and lymphatic circulation in this area. Shallow breathing is not as healthy as deep breathing, which, however, should not exceed the point where a person becomes tense, whether during inhalation or exhalation in an effort to achieve the largest possible breath volume. In more advanced exercises, breath holds are also incorporated. Mastery of the art of breathing is conscious breathing, as practiced in many forms of qigong, the Chinese art of breath, which is the main theme of the book.
