Anatomically divided into:
External: rib cage, intercostal muscles and diaphragm.
Internal: nose, the pharynx, the trachea, the bronchi (all of which function primarily as air passages) and the lungs.
Externally this system is responsible for the mechanics of breathing and internally for the process of respiration, i.e.: the transport of air to and from the lungs, and the exchange of gases between the lungs and blood; the efficiency of which is vital for the body's tissue and cells to be fully nourished and cleansed.
The circulation and pumping process of the lymphatic system is stimulated only by direct muscle movement. Chi Gung works extensively on the body's muscle and soft tissue allowing fine muscular contraction which stimulates and massages the lymphatic nodes, maximizing the transportation of lymph throughout the body and bolstering immune responses.
Chi Gung
-has specific exercises which substantially increase movement in the entire pelvic area, leading to extensive mobilization of tissue and lubrication of joints
- also strengthens and invigorates the pelvic floor as well as all the organs within the pelvic cavity
-loosens the whole lumbar-sacral region (which in women helps prepare the body for pregnancy and child birth)
-increases sensitivity, improves control of semen emission, balances sexual energy and helps regulate menstruation
