Foreword
In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, I have seen and heard of boats, cars, airplanes, spaceships, etc., but I have never seen or heard of people riding on their own. In this article, we will explore the interesting questions that we seem to have taken advantage of.
Here's how it happened –
Originated from the steps up and down the stairs again and again, by chance on a whim, borrowing people's weight, at the lower dantian acupuncture points, and the dantian muscles to strengthen, carry out two forces in one, and try it in walking. Sure enough, I felt a lot more relaxed, especially the stairs up, the difference between ease and tiredness was really too great. A curiosity is rewarded with rich objective facts. Immediately start to carry out the cycle of "practice-understanding-practice". It is now written for the enjoyment of readers.
First, the basic method: the whole body relaxes, the intention to guard the dantian (the lower dantian acupuncture points of the three horizontal fingers under the navel), lean forward slightly, with the help of gravity, back and forward, and the limbs only play the role of transmitting force.
First of all, take the first step: when going uphill (or upstairs ladder), think of any point of the muscle group at the dantian acupuncture point as the goal, and use the target point muscle to cheer up (don't care how hard you are doing).
With the help of gravity, at the target point, point to the point in the direction of the back pedal. The force is transmitted to the position of the rear kick touching the ground (or ladder), that is, the ground (or ladder) support point of the whole body, which is also the end point of the power force transmitted to the position of the dantian, or the reaction force point of the ground (or ladder) on the body.
At the same time, the front foot is pushed backwards, and the reaction force generated by the back kick action springs upward, and naturally lifts upwards in synergy.
With the forward inertia of the walking posture, step forward and down, and the hind foot is pushed forward and followed by the reaction force, completing the first step.
Then swap feet and do the same movement, completing the second and third steps until the end of the goal.
Walking flat and going downhill, the essentials of the movement are the same as the uphill road, but the force is much smaller than when going uphill.
Second, the characteristics of force: wonderful use of gravity. It is used to catch the core position of some people's cultivation and use of dantian kung fu - the lower dantian acupuncture points, and the "shuttle" in the walking path.
3. Practice skills: Every time you exert force in the dantian position, try to feel the center of gravity of the body, the dantian acupoints, and the ground (ladder) point under your feet, when the three points are in a line, it is the best time to point to the ground (ladder) point along this line, which is an ideal state.
In practice, keep practicing, and over time, due to the formation of conditioned reflexes, the movements will gradually be coordinated and free. This is an objective fact that the author has experienced. Therefore, I sincerely recommend it to people.
Fourth, the essentials of operation
In order to help people understand and use, with the help of gravity, the specific method of walking in the dantian position to form a continuous and complete walking system, the relevant operation essentials are prompted as follows:
Understand the above operation essentials, and practice diligently, I believe that people will soon be able to adapt to the use of gravity and walk in the dantian position!
Fifth, the application experience
According to the author's experience, around the above "operation essentials", in the application, you can combine the following factors to think and apply in practice.
1. The "wonderful" use of gravity is to gently "rest" the center of gravity of the body on the dantian acupuncture points. "Shelving" this moment -
It contains six meanings: (1) the center of gravity of the body, the dantian acupuncture points, the ladder (ground) point under the foot, and the three points are in one line. (2), "shelved". (3) The dantian muscles should be gently encouraged at the same time, and the two forces should be combined to exert force; With this rhythmic weight-bearing foot (i.e., back kicking foot), the sole of the foot touches the ladder (ground) point, and the effect of "kicking" quietly occurs.
(4) At the foot of the ladder (ground) point, the reaction force is generated at the same time, and the body is bounced up. (5) The other foot is lifted upwards in unison. (6), the formation of load-bearing feet of the golden rooster independent (or step-shaped).
2. The golden rooster is independent and walks continuously, forming a complete gravity walk.
About the golden rooster freestanding pose (or step), it is a (semi-)standing posture in which one foot stands and the other foot is subjected to the reaction force, slightly raised and suspended in the air.
Find a metaphor from ordinary life, such as childhood, playing a one-legged game, who hasn't played it? It's the golden rooster freestanding here. Press the left and right feet, respectively, the load-bearing feet, and form the left and right golden rooster free.
3. The above-mentioned "1," the "rest" mentioned is the key link that makes people feel that walking in this way is labor-saving and relaxed. You can borrow another analogy from life, such as the cane used by some people, or crutches.
The reason why people who walk with canes or crutches feel more relaxed is because the "cane" shares some gravity for it, and it is transmitted to the ladder (ground) through the "cane".
On the one hand, the burden on the overall weight of the body is reduced. On the other hand, it will make it easier for the body to achieve balance while walking without falling. When walking with gravity, from the dantian acupuncture points to the two soles of the feet, they are the corresponding two canes or crutches.
Here, it is likened to two veritable canes placed inside the two feet. In this way, the center of gravity of the body is gently placed at the dantian acupuncture point of the three points and one line.
In this way, at all times, it is said that it is tangible and intangible, and walking with two wishful canes, especially uphill, can not be very labor-saving?
4. The basic oral decision of walking with gravity: back pedal, forward pedal.
Forward stepping is every golden rooster independent moment, the next forward stepping behavior, together with the displacement of the center of gravity, the next round of three points in the first line of time, the coming that is "shelf". At this point, the front pedal is finished, and it is immediately converted to a weight-bearing foot (back pedal) and the back "kick" effect occurs.
The back pedal here is derived from the old pattern pictogram. When the dantian position is exerted, the reaction force bounces the body upward, and the image of this posture is the same as the state produced by "pedaling" with the foot in the old model.
At this moment, the use of "kicking" is convenient for people to learn and make it easier to change from the old mode to the new model, a special expression language, good transition, good memory.
It can really be said that "it seems to be pedaling", if it is really "pedaling", it will be effortless, therefore, there are the following testimonials, and readers are encouraged.
Displacement of the center of gravity to the dantian,
The Golden Rooster can succeed independently;
Kicking back and stepping forward is the rhythm,
It seems to be easy to pedal.
5. There are two differences between walking on ladders and walking flat: (1) The body leans forward slightly, and the amplitude needs to be slightly larger, because of the slope; (2) When the golden rooster is independent (or step), the suspension height of the non-load-bearing foot should be slightly higher (slightly higher than the height of the step itself), so as to facilitate the "step" step.
6. After being more proficient, walk by gravity, and replace the two parallel lines of the usual feet with the form of keeping the center of gravity in the middle of the line.
In this way, in the process of advancing, the center of gravity is always kept in front of the front, and the displacement trend avoids the two adjacent golden roosters in front and behind the independent (step), which must be displaced left and right, forming a human body corresponding to the left tilt, right tilting, and seems to feel awkward and uncomfortable.
Even in the old walking mode, except for the model on stage when performing in a straight line, instead of leaning left or right, people always walked according to the left and right, but people did not pay attention to it.
The method is to walk the outer figure of eight with both feet. In the process of walking, the first is that the travel line is a straight line, avoiding the step shape of the soles of the feet, and there is no difference in appearance compared with the model's walking.
The second is that each step of the feet at the same time on the ground, in the form of a "D" step, in line with the stability of the triangle in mathematical geometry. In other words, it is more stable than the model's sole of foot landing on the ground (basically in a straight line).
This is also in line with the needs of life. Because the model's performance is temporary, short-term, it is possible to stick to a completely straight line. Of course, the overall appearance of the model is more beautiful, and there is no doubt about it.
The life of ordinary people should be considered mainly from the perspective of comfort and ease of operation. It may be more appropriate to advocate walking in an outer figure-eight shape.
Comparisons with each other vary from person to person, from time to time, and from environment to environment. To each his own, just right.
7. After being more proficient, supplemented by the reverse abdominal breathing method, accompanied by the habit of walking with gravity, it is of great benefit to the beauty of the body.
Basic operation: During the walking process, as the center of gravity of the body shifts forward, first raise your head slightly and stretch your waist, and advance 1 to 4 steps, at this time, the human body will naturally inhale (at this time, it is advisable to close your mouth slightly and only let the air be inhaled from the nasal cavity). Then, exhale naturally (while opening your mouth slightly) and take another 1 to 4 steps forward.
And so on and so forth.
Explanation: (1) The breathing method formed by the basic operation at this time is called reverse abdominal breathing. "1 to 4 steps" is a reference value, which can be experienced and adjusted from the trial, and is flexibly mastered according to the standard of personal feeling ease of operation and comfort.
(2) The head and waist stretching here are not contradictory to the "slight forward leaning of the body" required by the "1. Basic Method" in the text, but are coordinated with each other. "Slight forward leaning" is a posture that is necessary to make it easy for the human body to form and maintain a forward and inertial force. Then, on the basis of the inertial force that has been formed and the front direction, the head is raised and the waist is stretched. As a result, the process of respiration against the abdomen is more natural.
(3) In the process of walking with gravity, when you raise your head and stretch your waist, your body will naturally raise your chest moderately. At the same time, the abdomen will naturally adduct and inhale. Then the natural deflation returns to the natural S-shaped posture of the body leaning forward slightly.
This is of special significance for the beauty of the abdomen of the human body, and also drives the gastrointestinal tract and other internal organs, produces physiological peristalsis, and helps digestion.
If the operation is done well and persistently, it will play a role that cannot be underestimated for the human body to strengthen the body!
(4) Ordinary people find it difficult to operate reverse abdominal breathing, mainly for three reasons.
First, due to the limitations of the old mode of walking, you can only pay attention to it, and you must consume a considerable part of your attention by frequently tensing your leg muscles. The little attention that is left is far from enough to be used in the reverse abdominal pose, which is to pull the inhalation with the abdomen. It makes it easy to cause tiredness and thus cannot last.
Second, if you want to change the inherent chest breathing habits that you are born with, you need to avoid strengthening yourself for a long time, change most of the intentional attention, and use it in the first abdominal tuck or the reverse abdominal inhalation training with the inhalation and abdominal tuck is even more difficult to adhere to.
The third is that I haven't found a good way to suit myself.
Walking with gravity, because there is no old mode of walking force, most of the burden of attention is consumed, and then cleverly borrowed to raise the head and stretch the waist, only need to cooperate with the simple operation of slightly closing the mouth and opening the mouth, and it is more natural to form reverse abdominal breathing.
Isn't it beautiful to have such a food that you have created by your own deeds? It's great for your health, so why not?
8. It is recommended for beginners: (1) Follow two major steps. Don't consider using dantian muscles to drum up for the time being, and after gradually becoming proficient, it will be easy to practice.
(2) After proficiency, on the basis of the original three-point line, add more weight-bearing feet (that is, back-pedal feet), a certain point on the inner thigh to form a four-point line.
The newly added point has two meanings. The first is to transmit the force, which does not pass through the inside of the knee joint as much as possible, which helps to better protect the knee joint.
The second is to minimize the left and right displacement amplitude of the center of gravity, which is conducive to better control the balance of walking, so as to get out of a more beautiful posture that suits you!
As mentioned above, it is for reference only.
Emotion: Compared with the traditional mode of walking with the thighs, from practice, people will feel like this-
6. Walking with gravity, riding a naturally generated, semi-automatic human gravity bike by your own body in the strength of walking
Origin: Walking with gravity does not have the source power of using the thigh as the source power in the traditional walking method, but it can be carried out, and the thigh force is used as the source of power, the same effect of walking.
And I enjoy it, and I seem to be pushed by the force to walk lightly. It's a bit like it's a human car in a standing position, riding on its own, and its feet are moving forward alternately.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. This is the objective fact in front of us!
Why is this so?
Analysis: Due to some of the relevant functions highlighted during walking, such as the corresponding operations carried out when walking with gravity, the body shape constitutes a certain special posture of leaning forward. At the same time, thinking and action are coordinated, and a certain direction is controlled.
The reaction force on the human body under the ground (or ladder) interacts with the special forward dynamic force, that is, the inertial force, and forms a special resultant force, which drives the body and naturally moves towards the goal.
In contrast, this is similar to what can only be enjoyed by taking transportation in life, and it feels similar to the relative movement of the road. I simply borrowed it here to make a visual understanding.
According to the trend of following its own actions and behaviors, it is formed and "self-generated"; Due to the cooperation of the corresponding action behavior, the special resultant force will be generated, and the human body will be pushed to move in a certain direction, which is called "semi-automatic" (otherwise, it is fully automatic); Due to the use of gravity walking as the source of power, the similar, riding feeling state is called "human gravity car".
In short, walking with gravity is equivalent to riding a self-generated, semi-automatic human gravity car.
From the independent walking of human beings to the current walking with gravity - the human gravity bicycle should be another evolution of the long history of human walking.
7. From walking with gravity to exploring another evolution of human walking
1. Exploring the diversity of human genetic variation
From the primitive society, it has been about 1.7 million years ago. In this process, the diversity of human genetic variation, natural selection, genetic drift, etc., brought about by the continuous changes in the human environment.
The factors that affect genes and may change are constantly undergoing a very subtle process of quantitative change to qualitative change. This is the microevolution involved in modern biological evolutionary research.
The long process of microevolution, following the law of quantitative change and qualitative change, and the leap change from micro to macro will always have a time to arrive.
Therefore, since humans walked upright, only one mode of walking has been used, and on the one hand, physicists have learned that the source of the main motivation to walk is generated by the tense leg muscles. This only explanation is in line with the laws of human cognition.
On the other hand, after 1.7 million years of microevolution, modern human beings, fortunately caught up, and the period of physical change in walking took a leap, and a new beginning, walking with gravity, it was a matter of course.
In short, human beings have gone through a long evolutionary process, and so far, the genes, consciousness, and behaviors related to human walking have undergone continuous microevolution in the complex environmental changes.
Finally, it completed the macroscopic walking mode from the basic walking mode of using leg muscles to exert force, to a higher level, which has great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance, and another evolution of the walking mode with gravity.
2. Exploring the characteristics of human evolution
We all know that the transformation from ape to man, the ability of man to make and use tools of labor, is the fundamental characteristic that distinguishes man from ape.
For example, if one ape strikes three apes several times with its front foot when an ape is fully transformed into a man, one ape strikes three apes several times with its front foot.
Suppose two of the apes react by being hit, or by always enduring it, or by using their front feet, hind feet, etc., to fight back. It's all ape instinct.
But there is an ape, and it is called a third. With his front feet, he picked up a long hard branch next to him, and with his two front feet, he broke off a small piece of its soft tip and threw it.
Pick up the remaining large sections of stiffer branches and return fire violently, thus defeating the "invaders". So, we say, the remaining large section of harder branches is the "tool of labour" made and used by the third ape. Of course, the third ape at this time was already a human.
In other words, the third ape is already a human. On the basis of the first and second apes, because of the manufacture and use of labor tools, the last evolution from apes to humans was completed, and the apes were transformed into humans in an instant.
Among the many factors influencing human evolution, the intricate changes in the environment are extremely important. Moreover, the harsher the environment, the more it can contribute to the formation and acceleration of evolution.
Since the development of science and technology, while bringing great benefits to people, various side effects such as internal and external environmental pollution have become more and more serious.
The existing walking mode, which uses the leg muscles to encourage and walk hard, has the development, development and growth of the human legs and feet, and after all, it accompanies people to walk and spend an extraordinary long time, making immortal contributions to the existence and life of human beings.
It does play a lot of positive roles, and it is undoubtedly too deep and rich to have a deep and rich relationship with people.
However, as a result, more and more people have premature degenerative diseases of the knee joint due to overstrain, leg muscles are prone to fatigue, susceptible to fatigue, etc., and the harm to physical health cannot be underestimated!
Starting from the biological evolutionary concept of "natural selection, survival of the fittest", the traditional walking mode has gradually shown many drawbacks in practicality, endangering people's health. Certain extremes of environmental change catalyze the acceleration of evolution, and even leaps and bounds.
Therefore, it is inevitable that in the process of historical development, human walking will evolve, and it is advisable to produce a new walking model as soon as possible to meet the needs of people's physical health!
Now, walk with gravity so that your feet don't exert force. Compared with the original, relying on frequent tension of leg muscles to exert force, "labor tools" walking.
Now, we have created the gravity that our body weight has, which is the main source of power. Two of the feet only carry out the transmission of force, and do not exert force in the new "labor tools" walking.
The appearance and form of walking are the same for the two labor tools before and after, but the connotation, the generation of the main driving force for walking, has undergone a qualitative and fundamental change.
In the old model, gravity, although superficially present, played a positive role in maintaining the balance of the human body. However, on the one hand, just because the leg muscles are pushing upwards and upwards, the gravity itself is downward, and the two opposite forces meet, which would have caused a greater imbalance, which should not be ignored.
On the other hand, gravity is often perceived as a burden in daily life, especially for people who use canes or crutches to help them walk. Moreover, the fatter the person, the greater the burden of human weight.
Then, when walking, you must rely on the greater strength of the leg muscles to exert more strength to overcome the corresponding resistance caused by gravity, so as to walk with confidence.
In the new model, gravity is a source of active motivation for walking. Compared with the old model, to a large extent, it can be said that waste is turned into treasure. The outstanding walking effort, and the resulting knee and leg pads, are beyond the reach of the old model.
In addition, because there is no more, it is easier to get a sense of balance by colliding with the leg muscles from the bottom up.
At this point, it should be believed that the form of walking by gravity is a higher level or level of new quality "labor tools" - walking tools formed at the base of the original walking form, including the deep evolution of thinking, action and behavior related to walking. At the same time, it is particularly labor-saving, and the knee and leg pads are healthier.
To sum up, after 1.7 million years of the third ape in the story, people had the whimsical idea to create and use a new quality of walking "labor tools", and realized the instantaneous change in the walking mode - walking with gravity! Thus it was completed, another evolution of human walking.
Walk with gravity and ride a self-generated, semi-automatic human gravity bike. Compared with the traditional walking method, it is particularly labor-saving and leisurely. Knee pads, leg pads, and belly beauty.
Modern man, caught up with the era of walking with gravity. Since then, humans have had two walking patterns. The two have their own characteristics, complement each other's advantages, and complement each other.
In life, people can proceed from reality, choose the best and discard the inferior, and choose according to their discretion. What suits you is the best!
