Resumo

Chan chuang, uma prática psicofísica conhecida por seus efeitos benéficos, tem sido preferida por artistas marciais e praticantes de medicina tradicional chinesa, desde os tempos antigos. Com o início da pandemia da COVID-19, o chan chuang atraiu uma maior atenção e reconhecimento. No entanto, a pesquisa existente concentra-se, principalmente, na eficácia do chan chuang, em vez de explorar a prática em si. Consequentemente, há uma escassez de orientação científica e experimental disponível para os atuais praticantes de chan chuang. Para preencher essa lacuna, o presente estudo emprega um método de entrevista em profundidade, dentro de uma estrutura de pesquisa qualitativa, conduzindo entrevistas de acompanhamento com oito artistas marciais que se envolvem regularmente na prática de chan chuang. Ao obter insights sobre os estados físicos e mentais desses praticantes, este artigo visa elucidar as suas experiências corporificadas de chan chuang a partir da perspectiva da “percepção corporal”. Os resultados revelam que a percepção dos praticantes de seus corpos durante a prática de chan chuang pode ser caracterizada por três aspectos principais: quietude, naturalidade e qi. A sensação de quietude significa um estado de tranquilidade no corpo e na mente. A sensação de naturalidade representa um equilíbrio harmonioso entre corpo e a mente, às vezes até resultando na perda da autoconsciência. Finalmente, a sensação de qi transmite um estado mental sereno, acompanhado pelo fluxo suave de energia vital e sangue. Essas três dimensões guiam os praticantes de chan chuang para alcançar o bem-estar físico e mental.
