本篇对腹胀提出了摇手臂转体,以手沿腹正中冲脉上下按摩的动功和以口吸气,满吐之,
存思使气从头顶向下散布至脚,如腐烂东西那样松散和自然地使气下行的静功。这两种功法均
有理气舒腹,健脾除满的作用。强调练功时要。“以便为故,不便复为”,坚持反复练习,
才能收到良效。对呼吸主张以“口纳气”,“口呼气”为主,以口大幅度的深呼吸,可使腹内
充分受气,胀满消除。最后一条又强调指出,治胀要先理脾,理脾消胀,可先暖足,摩腹,活动

[Original Text] Method One: Squat and sit, stabilize the mind (Shen), curl both hands below the heart region, shake the arms left and right, alternately tilt the body, extend the arms fully, lower the head to press against the abdomen, and use both hands to press along the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) down to below the umbilicus, repeating this back and forth twenty-one times. This can gradually alleviate abdominal distension, urgency and stifling sensation in the abdomen, and indigestion.
[Explanation] Squat and sit, gather the mind and fix the intention, curl both hands downward from the heart region, then shake both arms left and right, alternately tilting the body. Exert maximum effort with both shoulders, lower the head toward the abdomen, and press both hands along the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) down to below the umbilicus, repeating up and down twenty-one times. This can gradually eliminate abdominal bloating and indigestion.
[Original Text] Method Two: If there is abdominal distension accompanied by coldness, exhale through the mouth thirty times to stop.
[Explanation] If the abdomen is distended with cold pathogenic factors, exhale through the mouth for thirty repetitions.
[Original Text] Method Three: If there is fullness in the abdomen and suffering from satiety after eating or drinking, sit upright with the spine straight, inhale through the mouth dozens of times, and upon full inhalation, exhale. Continue until the discomfort ceases; if not relieved, repeat the process. If there is internal discomfort due to cold pathogenic factors, this method may also be applied.
[Explanation] If there is abdominal fullness and suffering from postprandial satiety, sit upright with the spine straight, inhale through the mouth dozens of times, and upon full inhalation, exhale. Continue until the discomfort ceases; this method can still be performed when feeling bloated later. If there is internal discomfort due to cold pathogenic factors, this method may also be applied.
[Original Text] Method Four: Sit upright with the spine straight, inhale through the mouth dozens of times. This eliminates abdominal fullness, distension from overeating or drinking, alternating chills and fever, and abdominal pain.
[Explanation] Sit upright with the spine straight, inhale through the mouth dozens of times. This can eliminate abdominal bloating, distension from excessive food and drink intake, aversion to cold with fever, and abdominal pain.
[Original Text] Method Five: Extend both hands to one side of the body, turning as far as possible while circulating Qi. Visualize Qi dispersing from the crown of the head down to the feet, imagining it dissipating like rotting matter. Keep palms and fingers extended, doing the same on both sides, repeating back and forth twenty-one times. Then return the body to an upright position, rotating the shoulders, arms, and waist forward and backward seven times. This eliminates abdominal distension, coldness in the bladder, lumbar spine, and arms, as well as conditions involving tense vessels and palpitations.
[Explanation] Extend both hands to one side of the body, turning as far as possible while circulating Qi, causing Qi to disperse from the top of the head down to the feet. Use visualization to imagine the Qi dissipating like rotting matter. Keep palms and fingers straight, performing the same on both sides, repeating back and forth twenty-one times. Then turn the body upright, rotating the shoulders, arms, and waist forward and backward seven times. This can dispel abdominal distension, coldness in the Bladder, lumbar spine, and arms, and diseases involving tense blood vessels and palpitations.
[Original Text] Method Six: If there is fullness inside the abdomen and a tendency to feel full quickly after eating or drinking. Sit upright with the spine straight, inhale through the mouth ten times. Stop when comfortable; if uncomfortable, repeat.
[Explanation] See Method Three of this section.
[Original Text] Method Seven: The Spleen governs Earth. When Earth Qi is warm, the human body can sweat, and sweating expels Wind-Cold pathogenic factors. If there is Qi distension in the abdomen, first warm the feet, then massage above and below the umbilicus and the Qihai (Sea of Qi) acupoint. The number of repetitions is unlimited; more is better. Perform at least twenty-one rotations left and right. To harmonize Qi, apply the "Fifteen Methods of the Waist and Body," rotating three hundred and sixty bone joints, promoting blood vessel flow, ensuring free flow of sinews and bones, and distributing Qi and Blood to all Zang-Fu organs. This harmonizes the Twenty-Four Qi and coordinates the Zang-Fu organs. To harmonize Qi, one must understand the method of using Qi: rotate and vibrate the head, use intention to guide Hand Qi upward and Heart Qi downward, making the movement up and down clear. Whether holding hands level, tilting the waist, turning the body, massaging to circulate Qi, or withdrawing movements, release the Heart Qi and send it to the Yongquan (Gushing Spring) acupoint. Every movement must follow the method without deviating from the laws of Qi circulation. If Qi does not exceed its measure, its use is beneficial; if Qi exceeds its measure, it leads to Qi chaos.

Summary:
This section presents methods for treating abdominal distension, including dynamic exercises such as shaking the arms and rotating the body, and pressing up and down along the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) in the center of the abdomen with the hands; and static exercises such as inhaling through the mouth, exhaling upon fullness, and using visualization (Cunsi) to disperse Qi from the crown of the head down to the feet, imagining it loosening and descending naturally like rotting matter. Both types of exercises have the effects of regulating Qi, soothing the abdomen, strengthening the Spleen, and eliminating fullness. It emphasizes that during practice, one should "stop when comfortable, repeat if uncomfortable," persisting in repeated practice to achieve good results. Regarding breathing, it advocates primarily "inhaling through the mouth" and "exhaling through the mouth." Large-amplitude deep breathing through the mouth allows the abdomen to receive sufficient Qi, eliminating distension. The final point emphasizes that treating distension requires regulating the Spleen first. To regulate the Spleen and eliminate distension, one can first warm the feet, massage the abdomen, move the waist, shake the head, and then use intention to guide Hand Qi upward and Heart Qi downward. When Qi and Blood are harmonized and the Middle Jiao is unblocked, distension will naturally resolve. When guiding Qi, the movement up and down must be clear, following their respective meridians. The Heart Qi must remain loose and free at all times, so that Qi can be sent to the Yongquan (Gushing Spring) acupoint. Guiding Qi must strictly follow the method and not exceed its proper measure to be beneficial; otherwise, it may cause Qi chaos, leading to adverse responses such as dizziness, vertigo, chest tightness, and abdominal distension.
