- W2886313630 abstract "Qigong, including medical, meditative and martial arts qigong, comprises 3 modalities: mindfulness training, breathing manipulation and body posture. Qi of qi-gong is the vital energy of the body, and gong is the training skill of generating stimuli to work on and with qi. However, little attention has been paid on the mediators and biological mechanisms of qigong. The purpose of this article is to propose a theoretical framework to support the hypothesis that the integrative skill of mindfulness-led breathing (MLB) with accordant body posture (a critical component) generates mechanical stimuli (mediators) to produce changes on meridian network (mechanisms). Of note, recent studies have proposed that the meridian qi is biologically and anatomically consistent with the extracellular fluid within interstitial spaces and is the major source of lymph. MLB recruits primary and accessory respiratory muscles and produces pressure gradients in the entire body. Experimental data suggest that pressure gradients generated by active respiratory muscle contraction is required to support an efficient lymphatic drainage. MLB-contracted respiratory muscles (yin) and accordant extending body postures (yang) coincide with the yin-yang theory creating tensional forces to distend the joints and stretch the meridian network. Emergent advances in mechanobiology of connective tissues underpin the substantial effects of mechanical stretch in regulating tissue homeostasis. Therefore, this article claims that mechanical stimuli generated by qigong bring about the balancing of qi-blood and regulation of meridian network in addition to emotional regulation, which are all pivotal to the integrity of mind-body health." @default.
