Health Through Simple Jin Ji Du Li Exercise

Jin Ji Du Li - Golden Cock Stand on One Leg
Got an email from an alumni about a simple but effective health exercise, very simple which is spreading fast in China. The essence of the exercise is to concentrate with your eyes closed while balancing on a leg.

Here is the exercise steps:
Stand on one leg, closee your eyes and try standing on one foot. If you are not able to stand for less than 10 seconds, it means that your body has degenerated to 60 to 70 years old level in other words, you may be only 30 years old, but your body has aged a lot faster. You do not need to lift your leg high, if your internal organs are out of synch, even lifting your leg this bit will make you wobble. Now this is quite scary because the exercise can tell the condition of your body. The Chinese are very knowledgeable of the human body. It is suggested that you frequently carry out the exercise to help you recover your sense of balance.
The Chinese specialists recommend daily practice of Jin Ji Du Li for a least 1 minute to help prevent dementia. You can try half closing your eyes initially while practicing Jin Ji Du Li, instead of completely closing them to balancing. Daily practice of Jin Ji Du Li, can help in healing many illnesses or diseases like Hypertension, High Blood Sugar or diabetes, Neck and Spinal diseases and dementia.
A book by Zhong Li Ba Ren titled "Self Help is Better than Seeking Doctors' Help", was a bestseller health book in China since its publication last year. The book's success can be measured by the fact that it has been reprinted 12 times within 6 months, with more than 1 million copies sold. It is said that according to the understanding of Chinese physicians, diseases appear in the body because the coordination between the various internal organs encounter problems and that causes the body to lose its balance. Jin Ji Du Li can readjust this inter-relationship of the organs and how they function with each other.
According to Zhong Li Ba Ren, on the first try many people can't stand on one foot with their eyes closed for even 5 seconds, but later on as they practice it daily, they improved to more than 2 minutes. As you gain ability to stand for longer time, the feeling of "head heavy, light feet” disappears.
The benefits of practising Jin Ji Du Li are you will experience better quality of sleep, the mind clears up and memory improves significantly. Most importantly if you can practice Jin Ji Du Li with your eyes closed for 1 minute every day, you will not get dementia. (I think it this also means the brain will remain healthy).
Zhong Li Ba Ren explained that there are 6 important meridians passing through our legs. When you stand on a single leg, the weak meridian will feel sore while getting the necessary exercise, and as this happens, the corresponding organs of these meridians and their path-ways, start getting the necessary tuning. This method can focus or concentrate the awareness, and channel the body's qi to the foot. The beneficial effects of practising Jin Ji Du Li on various illnesses associated with hypertension, diabetes, neck and spinal diseases are quick to be seen and felt. Jin Ji Du Li can also prevent gout. strengthen body immunity and suitable for almost everybody. It is the basic cure for "Cold Feet Disease”. You do not have to wait until you have any illness to start practising Jin Ji Du Li. It is especially beneficial for young people as daily practice will keep them healthy and avert their chances of contracting the various illness associated with aging.
Please take note that Jin Ji Du Li is not suitable for people over 70 years old, or those old people whose legs are not strong and cannot stand steadily.
