Heart-disease leads to more deaths than any other illness around the world, and specifically, Coronary Heart Disease or CHD is presently the biggest killer in the UK. Recent statistics have revealed that at-least 275,000 people suffer from heart-attacks annually and that more than 1.4 million people suffer from angina.
However, many within the alternative-health community, have asserted that a technique known as, Taiji Qi gong, can help people to avoid the occurrence of such cardiac-episodes. The technique maintains that the heart is not an organ in isolation, and that heart-disease can be caused by other imbalances and flaws within the body. Therefore, according to the philosophies of Taiji Qigong – if a person suffers from a heart related ailment, such as angina or arrhythmia – it is likely to be caused by the brain’s reaction to a problem in the body, and not necessarily as the consequence of bad heart-health.
Within the practice, the relentless impact of mental-health defects such as anxiety, stress, anger, fear and trauma can lead to heart-dysfunction, heightened by the tendency for people to be reluctant in admitting to feelings such as jealousy, aggression and rejection. When it experiences these sorts of conditions, the heart is subjected to an excessive level of nervous-activity which can have a detrimental impact upon the body’s emotional and physical metabolisms and resources.
As a discipline, Taiji Qi gong combines breathing techniques with auditory-stimulus, such as soothing sounds, in order to allow the participant to attain a complete sense of relaxation – which can help to regulate heart and respiratory function. The breathing exercises used within the technique can also promote the body’s blood-circulation, and nurture the supply of lymphatic-fluid to the heart. This can be a highly-beneficial process, as the technique does not necessitate the use of drugs which can sometimes have very distressing side-effects on people who have to live with serious heart-conditions.
