The heat of the body can release in the woods absorbed by nature but artificial environments cannot absorb the body heat; the body heat is trapped and cannot be released causing disease and heart attack. So you need to release the body heat or body will overheat burning up the internal organs (disease) by deep breathing moving the heat out of the body.Â
OPENING THE PSOAS MUSCLE
The Psoas muscle connects & moves the hips, spine & legs; all movement of Tai Chi Chi Kung comes from the Psoas muscle. The kidneys are connected to Psoas muscle & nerves are behind move it. The Psoas muscle is different from all other muscles, when you are relaxed it shortens & when you move it lengthens but problem is when you don’t move it is shortens, and does not grow. Eventually it shortens until you cannot move it & your body tightens up. Also kidney cold energy & fear freezes up the psoas muscle so you have to warm it up & lengthen it out (Tao Yin). The Heart is warm and the Kidney is cold. Draw heat down from heart into the psoas muscle because the psoas muscle contracts when it receives cold energy from the kidney; when psoas muscle contracts you get back pain but warm energy from the heart loosens the psoas and no back pain. Walking will open it up but we don’t walk today. We sit too much in a chair on the sacrum cutting off the Psoas muscle so we should sit only in a squat. The Psoas muscle & tendons are like rubber bands; when you stretch them too much; they looses their strength (power) but you lengthen them not only by stretching but by growing them through the Chi Breathing.
