许多现代人在日常饮食后常感消化不良，长时间坐着工作更导致腹部脂肪积聚。无论是出于美观还是健康考虑， flattening the belly area is a common concern. Many individuals seek ways to slim down and tone their abdominal area to improve their overall appearance, especially when wearing tight-fitting clothing that may highlight any unwanted protrusions. Engaging in exercises and abdominal workouts can help with digestion, accelerate gastrointestinal motility, and promote weight loss. However, it's important to understand that massaging, or "abdominal massage," requires proper technique to be effective.
Rolling massage, also known as "internal strengthening method," involves a series of gentle, orderly, and smooth massaging motions. These actions help to accumulate vital energy within the abdomen, ensuring the smooth flow of Qi and blood, and ultimately leading to a state of "internal strength."
Here are the steps for the rolling massage technique:
1. Place the tips of the index, middle, and ring fingers of both hands on the chest cavity (at the lower point of the sternum), then rotate clockwise twenty-one times, followed by counterclockwise twenty-one times.
2. Starting from the chest cavity, use the same fingers to move downward in a smooth motion, massaging until reaching the pubic bone area.
3. From the pubic bone, divide the fingers to massage to both sides, continuing the motion until reaching the meeting point of the hands over the pubic area.
4. Push downward from the chest cavity to the pubic area with the fingers twenty-one times.
5. Rotate the right hand in a clockwise direction and the left hand in a counterclockwise direction around the navel area, twenty-one times each.
6. Grip the lower back area on the right side with the right hand (with the thumb facing forward and the other four fingers supporting from behind), and use the left hand to push straight down from the left breast to the thigh root, twenty-one times.
7. Repeat the same process on the left side.
After completing the above steps, sit up and assume the "double lotus" position (where both feet are crossed and sitting on the ground).
Important considerations for performing this massage:
- Concentration and mental clarity are essential. Remove all distractions and find a quiet setting.
- Use a low pillow and a flat mat to lie down comfortably.
- Maintain a proper posture with the body relaxed and the abdomen soft.
- Dedicate full attention to the massage, ensuring smooth and continuous motion without hurry or friction.
By adhering to these instructions, one can practice the rolling massage as a means to promote health and achieve a flatter stomach, contributing to both physical well-being and aesthetic goals.
