Why can myopia be treated with still qigong? Traditional Chinese medical theory states that all human biological activities depend on blood circulation and qi promotion. Blood will not flow if qi is obstructed. Still qigong mobilizes and concentrates the essential qi of the visceral organs in the human body, promotes its flow in the channels and collaterals, and regulates qi and blood to normalize blood circulation and supply the eyes with adequate nutrients. Thus, the tension of the eyes will be relieved and self-accommodation restored.
The essentials of still qigong in treating myopia are as follows: to practice relaxation, still qigong first relaxes the body and makes the mind tranquil to normalize the qi and blood; then it guides the qi to the hands, and finally regulates the qi and blood of the ocular muscles by the external qi emitted by the hands. (Qigong is anything but mysterious, because everyone has qi. Once qigong is properly practiced, the "feeling of qi" will soon appear.
Still qigong is characterized by its simplicity, safety and beneficial effects on true myopia, pseudo myopia and hereditary myopia in both youths and adults.
The qigong treatment of myopia consists of three steps: practice of qi cultivation in still standing, practice of qi guidance by opening and closing; and practice of eye massage with external qi.
