About The Longevity Exercises

(from the book Xing Yi Nei Gong by Dan Miller and Tim Cartmell)

At first glance this exercise set may appear to be very similar to any other qi gong or nei gong set of exercises one may have encountered while studying the internal martial arts. However, Wang Ji Wu' genius in putting this particular set of exercises together is in the set's completeness as an internal development system. This set of exercises was not put together haphazardly. There is a completeness and wholeness in its design and at the same time this set of exercises is simple, practical, easy to learn, and easy to execute.

Any internal development exercise set should consist of exercises which serve to integrate the body, mind, and breath while strengthening the body energetically, viscerally, and physically in a natural and balanced manner. Energetically, the set should contain exercises which are designed to calm the mind and body and sink the qi to dan tian. In addition, the movements should distribute that energy in a full and balanced fashion throughout the body through gentle coaxing. The movement of energy should not he forced through the use of strong intention or muscular tension. The mind is calm and the physical movement gently urges the movement of the Qi.

As Wang Lian Vi states in his introduction to exercise number four, "Wang Ji Wu felt that the beginner should not try and force the qi to flow through strong intention. His advice was to practice the exercises with a relaxed mind and tile intention focused on the dan tian. After the qi has gathered in the dan tian, it will find its own way in the "Small Heavenly Cycle" through the gentle coaxing of the physical movements." The energy movement exercises in WangJi Wu's set are designed to move energy to all distal points of the body in a natural, balanced, and safe manner. Another important component in any complete internal development system is visceral manipulation, or simply stated, motion designed to move each of the visceral organs to a small degree so that the organs arc gently massaged and thus there is less chance for fluid stagnation. In the last chapter Wang Lian Vi stated "life is movement".

Everyone knows that if any part of the body remains stationery for an extended period of time, it becomes stiff. If muscles, tendons, and ligaments are not moved through their full range of motion on a regular basis the individual will start to loose that full range of natural, unrestricted motion. A well designed set of exercises will he devised so that all of the body's joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are moved through their full range of motion during the exercise set. Wang's set does this, but additionally some of this set's exercises work to gently move and manipulate the internal organs so that the organs function properly and all of the systems of the body which pump fluids are stimulated. When bodily fluids such as lymph, bile, blood, etc. are allowed to stagnate anywhere in the body, problems will arise. In order to prevent stagnation, the body needs to bend, move, and stretch so that no small "pools" of fluids are allowed to collect and become stagnant. Wang Ji Wu's set of exercises is expertly designed to work all of the viscera so that the organ energy is stimulated and the bodily flUids are encouraged to move freely.

In terms of physical development, this set of exercises not only gently stretches the muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons to keep them operating optimally through their full range of motion, it also helps to build the type of whole body, coordinated strength which is functional in the internal martial arts.

Wang Ji Wu : Qui est-ce ?

Wang Ji Wu (1891-1991), également connu sous le nom de Wang Zhong Gao, était originaire du village de Dong Shan, dans le comté de Yu Ci, province du Shanxi. Né en 1891, son grand-père était un médecin chinois renommé, connu pour son incorruptibilité, et le père de Wang Ji Wu était également respecté pour son travail charitable et son engagement envers la communauté.

Dans sa jeunesse, Wang Ji Wu fréquentait l'école du village et était un élève exceptionnellement doué. Il avait une passion naturelle pour les arts martiaux et apprenait auprès des artistes martiaux de son village. Pendant la journée, il était étudiant, et la nuit, il travaillait comme gardien d'une parcelle de courges, ce qui lui laissait suffisamment de temps pour pratiquer les arts martiaux.

Tout au long de sa vie, Wang Ji Wu est devenu maître de divers arts martiaux, dont le Qigong, ainsi que de la Médecine Chinoise, y compris l'ostéopathie. Sa compréhension profonde des deux domaines lui a permis d'atteindre un niveau élevé dans chacun. Il a mené une vie stable, valorisant la justice plus que les gains matériels, et prenait grand plaisir à aider les autres. Son dévouement lui a valu le respect et l'admiration de ses amis et de sa famille.
