In Lohan Qigong, the short pole is used as a tool to enhance a student’s qigong practice. By holding the short pole, the left and right sides of the body are connected and move in unison. This supports weaknesses in the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints and allows the various tissue in the body to not only stretch and relax but also to be strengthened through regular practise.
Aside from the physical benefits, the short pole exercises help to maintain and enhance the balance and functioning of the Triple Burner (Sanjiao 三角), fostering overall health and wellbeing.
The Triple Burner is divided into three regions, each responsible for different functions:
-
- Upper Burner: is associated with the functions of respiration and circulation.
- Middle Burner: its main role is the digestion and assimilation of food & fluids.
- Lower Burner: its crucial role in elimination, excretion, reproduction & vitality.
The balance of Qi and fluid distribution is crucial for health and well-being, and any disruptions in the Triple Burner can lead to various health issues.
The benefits of practicing short pole Qigong include the following:
-
- Enhanced respiratory health
- Improved metabolism
- Enhanced digestion
- Improved flexibility
- Better joint mobility
- Enhanced balance and posture
- Improve strength and muscle tone
- Improve arthritis and back pain
- Better emotional balance
