“六气法”探究

Analysis of the Six-Breathing Exercise(“LIU QI FA”)

六气法,是养生技术中重要的行气术,是以炼呼为主,配合默念字音,结合脏腑,保健养生,祛除病邪的一种吐纳法。《养性延命录·服气经》与《养性延命录·明医论》中的"六气"法,言语简明,借由疗疾功效与病症之间的对应,可以发现二者之间存在着内在一致性,很有可能《明医论》之"六气"由《服气经》之"六气"发展而来。《养性延命录》《胎息秘要歌诀》《幻真先生服内元气诀》《嵩山太无先生气经》所言"六气法",其主要功能都在于疗病治愈。《四气摄生图》中,"六气法"与四季有着较为明确的对应关系,并将"六气"理法完全确定下来。对"六气法"进行探究,具有文献价值和养生实用价值。
