What are anal lift exercises?

The health care method of contracting the anus in China first appeared in the ancient Han Dynasty medical book “The World’s Best Way to Talk” and “Ten Questions” unearthed in Mawangdui more than 2,300 years ago, which was called “Open and Close the State” in ancient times, and later called “Handful of Valley Road”. It has been popular among the people for thousands of years as an exercise to strengthen the body. In the popular “Sixteen Ideas for Health” from the Ming Dynasty, it is advocated that people should always “hand out the grain” and “always lift the gas”. Here the “Valley Road” refers to the anus. This is the reason why Chinese medicine says that it is better to raise and lift the middle qi. The most famous example is the Qianlong Emperor. According to the medical records of the Qing Palace, Qianlong was quite healthy in his later years and was able to go out hunting at the age of 87, and was still able to read and write shortly before his death. One of the reasons for Qianlong’s longevity was that he insisted on lifting his anus all year round. This action is the Qianlong emperor’s most pleased with the health gong method. China’s traditional medicine said “back to spring”, including the anal exercise this content, anal exercise does not require much time, but the efficacy is very significant.

The key point of the action is: “a suction will be lifted, gas gas to the umbilicus; mentioned will be swallowed, water and fire to meet”. In other words: calm the mind, breathe evenly, lower the tongue to the palate, and produce fluid in the mouth. The anus is lifted and the qi is drawn to the umbilicus; slowly relax and then swallow the jin and draw it to the umbilicus. The key to daily practice is: lift the anus in place, inhale to the navel; hold the breath for a long time, and exhale deeply and long.
