| With the direction of Chinese classic philosophy and the aim of developing humanbody's potency, Qigong is the skill of making the body adjustment, breathe regulation andmind adjustment harmonized with each other. So three adjustments were included inQigong practicing: body adjustment, breathe regulation and mind adjustment. Mindadjustment is very important in the three adjustments, not because of its complicatedcontents but also the permeability through all stage of the Qigong practicing. With themodern psychologic terminology, it can be said that the content of mind adjustmentincludes feeling, knowledge, thinking, mood, and unconsciousness and so on. Imagination is one of the main and representative skill of mind adjustment. With thepsychologic terminology, imagination means going through the situation personally andclearly, which is the general parts of many Qigong practicing methods. The warm feeling is a gerneral one during Qigong practice, and easy to go through.In our experiment, the imagination of warm feelings in Laogong part was taken as thetarget, in contrast with the physiological effect of the touching and the quiteness in thesame part with the index of the standard deviation of skin temperature and the mean skintemperature of acupoint of Laogong and Yintang, we try to illustrate the physiological andpsychologic effect of the imagination of the warm feeling and its own character The wholism is one significant character of Qigong practicing, which based on theintegrity and particularity of the individual. The research and practice of Qigong shouldalso obey this rule, so the part of Laogong plus Yintang was taken as the objective. Thedata was also dealt with the direction of the wholism, paying more attention to the wholephysiological effect of the single one, and based on the data; paired chi-square test , pairedT-test and co-variance test are adopted to the data for illustration of the total character. The subjects were all students with none qigong practice, half male and half female.Observation on the relationship of the touching, imagination and quietness state wereperformed.of the temperature in Laogong and Yintang p[parts. RESULTS 1. The operation of the imagining: compared with the state of the quietness, all thevalue of kappa were not more than 0.4; significant difference was show in McNemar testof mean skin temperature of Yintang.(p<0.05) 2. The operation of the touching: compared with the state of the quietness, all thevalue of kappa were not more than 0.4; no different was show in McNemar test of meanskin temperature of Yintang. (P>0.05) 3. The paired T-test for the gap value between maximum and minimum: thesignificant difference show between the mean temperature of Laogong and Yintang,hencompared with that of the quietness state.(p<0.05) 4. The covariance-test for the state of touching and imagining: all the four indexshow no statistical difference.(P>0.05) 5. McNemar Test between the imagining process with or without warm sourcebefore operating: the value of p was 0.007, and the value of kappa was 0.è‹±æ–‡æ‘˜è¦ 3 6. McNemar Test between warm feeling and the change of skin temperature: thevalue of p was 0.003, and the value of kappa was 0.064. CONCLUSION: 1.Different tendency of physiological effect shows between the state of imaging andquietness. 2.For the imagation: in contrast with the touching the same tendency of thephysiological effect shows, but stronger tendency appeared in the imagining state than thetouching state. 3.There is no group specificity in warmth-imagining operation 4.Positive rate of warm feeling will greatly increased with suitable experience beforewarmth- feeling imagination. 5.There can be no definite relationship between the warm feeling and the skintemperature change. |
