http://www.dailyom.com/cgi-bin/display/ ... i?lid=2455While Chinese acupuncture and herbalism enjoy widespread popularity in the West, traditional Chinese exercise techniques - with the exception of qi gong - have rarely been taught outside China. This book is designed to change that. Written by Jun Wang, a doctor of Chinese medicine, Cultivating Qi draws on classic Chinese texts to introduce these body-mind healing exercises to Western readers.
The earliest full descriptions of the Six Healing Breaths were found in Yang Xing Yan Ming Lu (“Notes on Nurturing One’s Nature and Extending Life”) by Tao Hongjing (456–536 C.E.), a Daoist scholar and practitioner of the Southern and Northern dynasties. For example, in the chapter Fuqi Liaobing (Absorbing Qi to Treat Illness) Tao Hongjing instructs: “If you have a wind-based condition, use chui.
If you have a heat-based condition, use hu. If you feel emotional agitation, use xi. If you have distension, use he to descend Qi. If you have stagnation to remove, use xu. If you are exhausted or fatigued, use si.”
Each of the six sounds was not only applied to treat a specific ailment but also associated with one of the internal organs—Heart, Triple Energizer, Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Kidney.
The correspondence between the Six Healing Breaths and the six internal organs, as well as the sequence of the sounds, was modified by later scholars. Consensus was gradually reached on the different versions during the Ming dynasty (fourteenth century) in the work of Leng Qian. He summarized the Six Healing Breaths in a poem entitled “The Therapeutic Song of Four Seasons”
in his book Xiuling Yaozhi. Following is the “Song of the Four Seasons,” which is still inspiring and important for modern Qigong practitioners:
chunxu ming mu mu fu gan
xia ri he xin huo zi xian
qiu si ding shou jin fei run
dong shui shui wang kan gong an
san jiao chang xia xi chu re
si ji hu pi tu hua can
qie ji chu sheng wen liang er
qi gong you sheng bao shen dan

Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido and a student of Deguchi, used kototama as a spiritual basis for his teachings. William Gleason says Ueshiba "created aikido based on the kototama principle," and quotes him that "Aikido is the superlative way to practice the kototama. It is the means by which one realizes his true nature as a god and finds ultimate freedom."[2] Mutsuro Nakazono, a disciple of Ueshiba, wrote books on the importance of kototama in aikido." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotodama Aiki - Kiai

Sorry no direct info, in looking for something on the six sounds I came across
her clip. The six sounds can be taught in a number of different ways
as I'm sure you know. Thought the taiji movement aspect was interesting.http://www.dailyom.com/cgi-bin/display/ ... i?lid=2455While Chinese acupuncture and herbalism enjoy widespread popularity in the West, traditional Chinese exercise techniques - with the exception of qi gong - have rarely been taught outside China.

The Kia used in karate just makes the practitioner tired, a very bad habit.
If you hold a long exhalation which expels all your air, you will lose power.
This is why a boxer conserves his breath. You will hear small exhalations which are timed to combinations instead.
