There is a saying in Chinese medicine that "all diseases start from cold, and cold starts from feet", and feet are called "second heart". When people are over forty years old, their hip muscles tend to atrophy and droop gradually, and their lower body becomes thinner and thinner. Standing piles are firmly rooted on both feet, connecting heaven and earth, conditioning qi, and carrying out fitness activities with less physical exertion, which is even more obvious for modern people who are weak and often consume too much. I hope you can list the standing pile as a regular exercise!
First, standing on the pile "save your strength" to cultivate your self-cultivation
There is a passage about ancient naivety in Huangdi Neijing: "Huangdi said: I heard that there were real people in ancient times, holding heaven and earth, grasping yin and yang, breathing essence, keeping god independently and keeping muscles as one." So it is possible to live a long life, and when there is no end, this is its way of life. "
Among them, "protecting the body and protecting the gods" was taught by doctors before. These four words alone will be enough for about a year. Many people are looking forward to meeting experts and want to meet them. You have to ask yourself, if someone has told you four words for half a year, can you still be as courteous and eager to "teach" as you were at the beginning?
In fact, "observing the spirit independently" is a hard-working method. It refers to being detached from independence in life, especially when practicing (for example, standing on a stake), being single-minded, similar to the "immobility" in Buddhism, with a heart like a mirror, pure and clear.
In the secret biography of doctors for thousands of years, "maintaining spiritual independence" is a special method of hard training. Masters train their apprentices in this way. Anyone who has practiced for more than a year and a half must be very strong! This method is the basis for doctors to treat many diseases. For example, the doctor's secret "Shenzhen Dafa" gives people an easy needle, and years of addiction often disappear. Its "internal force" comes from the training of this "independent defense god". Without three or five years of "fighting alone", even if the patient is tied into a hedgehog, it is difficult to have a result. So it is essential for doctors to go out and stand on the pile.
The pile of standing piles means stump, and work is kung fu. The stump buried in the ground is relatively strong, not easy to be pushed down and pulled out, and its shape is relatively quiet. The standing pile is three tones, and body adjustment is used instead of heart adjustment and breathing adjustment. It starts the pulse through momentum, the pulse moves, Ren and Du also move, and so does the twelve meridians. In essence, it is quiet outside and quiet inside, so experts believe that "Gong Zhuang exercises in rest and rests in exercise".
When standing a pile, the top of the head will be connected with the weather, the spring on the sole of the foot will be connected with the atmosphere of the earth, and the Laogong point on the palm will be connected with the atmosphere of nature. The nerves of the knee joint are strongly stimulated, and the true qi is born from this. With a little practice, the body feels hot, hands swell and numb, and diseases, turbidity and pathogens in the body come out with sweat.
Piling work is carried out on the basis of feet. Feet are now called "the second heart" and "the root of essence". 30% of the nerves in the human body are concentrated in the soles of feet, and standing piles is an important way to open acupoints and dredge meridians, which is conducive to the rapid start of qi circulation in the human body, promoting and enhancing the circulation function of Du meridian and Ren meridian, thus activating meridians. Qi moves in blood, and blood moves in qi. With the rationalization and activation of qi in the body, various symptoms can be improved quickly, and diseases can be cured without treatment. As Su Dongpo said when commenting on Qigong, "Its effect is not very good at first, but it has accumulated for more than a hundred days and its effect is immeasurable. A hundred times more powerful than taking medicine. " So we must stick to it according to the requirements of the achievement method, and we will succeed naturally.
To practice Buddhism, we should also maintain spiritual independence, and it is best to stand on a stake.
When Father Dharma came to China to preach Dharma, he found that monks in China like to meditate, and they are generally weak and can't stand the wind. So in nine years, Dharma began to teach these Shaolin monks, who also stood on piles. Martial arts and Yijin Jinggong, dozens of movements in Yijin Jinggong are actually dozens of different piles to force the qi pulse of the whole body and the yin, dampness, evil and poison in the bone marrow.
Force out the yin and evil spirits in the body, can you take medicine to detoxify? Yes, but it will consume a lot of energy. The so-called three-point poison of medicine, taking medicine to detoxify is at the cost of consuming vitality. At that time, acupuncture and massage only got through the pulse of the lesion, but also at the expense of fatigue. Moxibustion is a good method, but it still depends on equipment and materials. The simplest and best way to detoxify is to stand by and watch yourself. Standing on the pile for more than 40 minutes every morning and evening, and sweating every time is the best detoxification. Standing piles can not only expel the poison of bone marrow and qi pulse, but also refine qi into the bone and nourish vitality.
Why is it best to stand for forty minutes at a time? Because standing for more than 40 minutes at a time, the body's biological clock will play a better role. Meditation is an advanced human science. Therefore, we should also practice scientifically. If you don't force the yin and evil spirits out of your body, you can't be calm inside. In the Yijinjing Washing Medulla Sutra of Zen Buddhism, washing marrow is to force out the yin and evil qi in bone marrow. The disease is mild: the disease enters the skin. Seriously ill: sick into the meat. The disease is extremely serious: it enters the bone marrow. Only by forcing out the yin and evil qi in the bone marrow can we be truly healthy and stable. Therefore, this classic name is easy to strengthen the muscles and wash the marrow.
In addition to taking medicine and standing piles, you can force out the poison from bone marrow. Are there other ways to detoxify? Yes, that's the valley. It is easy for those who often cross the valley to settle down. However, it needs more detailed guidance than standing piles. If the method is improper, there will still be danger.
Misunderstanding and evil thoughts are evil spirits, materialism is idealism and idealism is materialism. If you meditate deeply, you should treat diseases, detoxify, refine essence, benefit qi, warm blood, fill marrow and relax tendons at the same time. Otherwise, the evil is heavy and weak, the yin flourishes and the yang declines, and it is difficult to think blindly and it is difficult to be in heaven.
Even people who can enter the first meditation, if they don't stand on the pile at ordinary times, the toxic gas in the body is not cleaned up in advance. Often, after the first meditation, the toxic gas is forced into the meat from the bone marrow without sweating, and the poison can't be discharged, and often the body will be swollen or Qing Wu. And if you often stand on the pile, the first eight touches of Zen will soon pass.
Especially for modern people, yin and cold are strong. If you don't stand on the pile, it is not easy to wash the marrow and refine the gas into the bone; It is very difficult to keep the essence, blood and bone marrow full. If you can't be full of vigor, blood and bone marrow, it's a bit like an idiot to get rid of the five elements and break your climbing heart.
It's not just an epiphany when you become the Buddha as the ancestor and the immortal as the Tao. The sword front comes from sharpening, and the plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold. Without freezing for three feet and heavy snow, how can there be plum blossom fragrance in winter? Besides, it's freezing three feet, it's snowing heavily, and it's not cold for three days. Ordinary people often only see the side of Buddha, Bodhisattva and Lohan immortal after attaining the Tao, but they can't see the hardships of Buddha, Bodhisattva and immortal before attaining the Tao. They all practice diligently from generation to generation, and the merits of each generation are bright and beautiful, and then they are passed on to the next generation for practice, and the accumulation of grain from generation to generation has achieved the realization of Tao. Zen is to see nature for clarity, but it needs to practice after enlightenment. Didn't you see in the altar sutra of the Six Ancestors that after a thorough understanding, the Six Ancestors respected the orders of the Five Ancestors and lived in seclusion for fifteen years before they came out to preach the Dharma? Not to mention its ancestors before.
Practice, practice is cultivated. Practice, practice, practice.
Standing on the pile, we should be independent of God, "We can't walk outside the heart, and the outer edge can't invade", "We are destined not to walk, and the next breeze will send white clouds; Liujing Fang Jing, put down your body and mind and see Gan Kun. "
Whether doctors, boxers or meditators, as long as they abide by the master's teaching, integrate knowledge and practice, and persist in standing on the stump, kung fu will grow stronger day by day like a seedling in spring. If you don't practice, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, then kung fu is like sharpening a stone. If you don't reduce it, you will lose it every day.
Second, the method, main points and matters needing attention of vertical pile work
1, posture and form
1) bracket.
Feet are shoulder-width apart, toes are forward, and can be slightly inward. Bend your knees slightly, don't exceed your toes, lest you hurt your knees. The center of gravity of the body can be slightly tilted to the front foot. After standing, raise your hands from the lowest position where they naturally droop and make a "hug".
2) Give me a hug.
Hold your hands on your chest as if you want to pull them out, palms inward. The emperor's father said, "It's a sage's idea to give one to the world."
Step 2 be careless
Physical state:
1) The spine is upright all the way;
2) Raise your head and make your jaw miniature, as if to "hide" your throat. Smile;
3) Upper limbs: the shoulders are relaxed, the forearms naturally sink, the upper elbows are slightly lower than the shoulders, and the hands are slightly lower than the elbows;
4) Hands: "Hug one" hands hold the chest, the fingertips are opposite, the fingertips are about the size of the fist, and the palms are inward;
5) legs: the feet are shoulder-width apart, the knees are slightly bent, the knees should not exceed the toes, the center of gravity is slightly in front of the soles of the feet, and the body is relaxed;
6) Observe the feeling of relaxation inside and outside the body, and remain mediocre and not curious. Open and close your eyes at will.
Breathing mode: breathe naturally, inhale slightly as far as possible, and exhale continuously.
Spiritual activity: You can do without thinking, or you can recite the Buddha mantra. For example, if you are calm, you can recite "Amitabha in the South".
Suitable for people: men, women and children who are sedentary, physically weak and willing to persist in exercising to improve their physical and mental state.
Retraction: At the end of each pile position, you can make a hand downward from both sides, then lift it with your palm, close your hands from the middle, and then press it downward from your chest and palm until it exceeds your abdomen. This is a simple job.
3. Preventive measures
1) After the exercise, dry your sweat, especially at the back of your neck. Don't take a bath immediately in summer (wait at least half an hour).
2) Try to avoid practicing standing piles under electric fans and in air-conditioned rooms, which is easy to catch cold. It is best to erect piles in a natural environment with no cold wind and fresh air.
3) Don't touch cold water for at least half an hour after practice, especially in summer. Try to avoid drinking water and taking a bath during this period, and it is best not to urinate within half an hour after practice-so it is best to drink water and defecate before formal practice!
4) It is best to reduce or avoid sexual intercourse during practice, and avoid sexual intercourse immediately after practice!
5) Beginners should try to avoid practicing when it is windy, rainy or thundering.
6) Patients with heart disease should not practice excessively.
7) After finishing the work, rub your hands, touch your knees, pat your knees and swing your arms.
Thirdly, the dynamic effect of vertical piles.
Stand in a pile, whether there is psychological activity or not, you must have feelings and reactions. Normal feelings help to improve one's level. Generally speaking, in practice, as long as you feel comfortable, effective, balanced, not holding your breath, not too nervous, and a little tired or left after practice, you can consider it normal and keep practicing.
When practicing, don't look for a feeling for an idea, which is easy to become a mere formality and may have side effects. Just pay attention to the practical spirit and specific ideas. Let the feelings naturally form and disappear, so that you can practice kung fu on yourself. Don't use too strong an idea until you have enough time.
Gong Zhuang at different stages and levels will have different reactions and show different functional states. In addition, due to different physical conditions, different illnesses, different training purposes, and different individual nerve sensitivities, practitioners will also have different reactions. Generally, we don't have to mind these reactions, let nature take its course. The following 2 1 feelings, perceptions and reactions are normal work-related effects, but be careful not to pursue them too consciously. Practice is not for work, but for work; It's no use asking for work. Only pay attention to cultivation, regardless of harvest, harvest self-satisfaction, the so-called "success comes naturally."
1, kinesthetic:
The itchy feeling of ants crawling appears on people's skin, and there are also movements such as muscle trembling and body shaking. The feeling of ants walking is caused by the prevalence of qi and blood epidermis, and shaking is the performance of the human body's own spontaneous adjustment of balance, so we don't need to pay attention. People who stand on piles for a short time at the beginning are prone to limb muscle trembling, especially those with trembling legs. This is a normal phenomenon in Gong Zhuang's adaptation stage, so don't mind. After a period of time, this dynamic phenomenon will naturally disappear and enter a "fixed" state.
2. Numbness:
In the initial stage of practice, you will feel numb skin, especially the palms and soles of your feet. This is a normal reaction of insufficient blood circulation, which will naturally disappear after a long time. To practice kung fu to a certain extent, numbness, especially electric numbness, is the response of human bioelectricity and the performance of skill growth. Sometimes I feel numb, sometimes I feel weak, sometimes I feel strong, sometimes I practice, then I don't practice, and then I transition to practice or not.
3. Thermal sensation:
When practicing martial arts, I feel warm, feel heat flow in a certain part of my body, or have a fever all over my body, accompanied by a slight smell of sweat. This is a good phenomenon of qi and blood circulation, that is, "qi does not transport itself", but you can't pursue it. Let it develop naturally.
4. Abdominal distension:
The feeling of distension is the normal effect of "muscle distension" in musculoskeletal training, and it is also the normal reaction of artery, vein and capillary dilation in the process of qi and blood operation. In the late stage, you will feel slightly swollen and comfortable.
5, sour feeling:
Generally, beginners will have muscle aches or soreness. For example, the body feels uncomfortable and there is local pain, especially in the shoulders. This is caused by local muscle tension. Although standing piles emphasize relaxation, they still need a basic force to keep the frame balanced. Therefore, in the initial stage of pile standing, the tightness is often inconsistent, or although it is relaxed, it is not tight, so it is normal to have muscle soreness or soreness, which will disappear automatically with the deepening of training.
6. Pain:
Some patients will feel local pain aggravated when they start practicing. Generally speaking, this is a benign reaction to the impact of qi and blood on the focus after exercise, which is in line with the principle of "pain is painless, and the general principle is painless" in traditional Chinese medicine. Keep practicing, the reaction of "burning with anger" will become weaker and weaker, and eventually the disease will be cured, which is the result of the struggle between good and evil and the final victory over evil.
7. Joy:
I feel extremely comfortable and happy in practice, relaxed and happy, beaming and happy. This time, I think it is the happiest and most comfortable moment. Practice should be taken lightly, and we should not covet happiness, nor be too happy or too sad.
8. Sound perception:
Muscles, viscera, bones and joints all have different degrees of noise, which is normal. Such as hissing, humming, snapping, singing, etc. , there will be snoring, bowel sounds, fart and other phenomena.
9, deep sleep:
Standing piles have a heavy, heavy, heavy feeling, the center of gravity sinks, like a "tumbler", and further, there is a feeling of "being filled with lead", which is an advanced sense of strength.
10, sleep all:
The whole body seems to be frozen, unable to move, hold hands, approach, lift or put down. The human body and the outside world form a whole, and further, it will feel "whole body as cast" and "muscles as one". The sense of wholeness is a kind of advanced sense in standing piles, and it is also one of the manifestations of the external sensible state of circular force.
1 1, light sleep:
The whole body is as light as a swallow, and the muscles are loose and soft, as soft as bones. At the same time, my body and mind feel relaxed, like taking off and floating in the wind.
12, drifting:
With or without me, my body is outside the cloud nine. It seems that there is a soul but no body. I just feel like a wisp of smoke, like a cloud. My body and mind are free and happy, and my body has only a vague sense of self. At this point, the body has lost weight, but it has not gone out of shape. The appearance of floating sensation shows that practitioners have entered the realm of unity of form and spirit and unity of body and mind.
13, Hua Jue:
The figure is getting lighter and lighter, and the outline is becoming more and more unclear. Finally, the characters are "gasified" and integrated with the natural gas in the universe, which shows that practitioners have entered the realm of "harmony between man and nature". The fundamental difference in sensory experience between Gone with the Wind and China lies in that Gone with the Wind only loses weight and does not shape, while China loses weight and shapes.
14, empty sleep:
There is no body and mind inside, and there is no world outside. This is a state of "forgetting things and forgetting myself". The realm of "harmony between man and nature" is the emptiness of "nothing", while the realm of "forgetting me" is the nothingness of "nothing". This is an advanced effect in the process of "refining the virtual and combining the Tao".
15, Dajue:
I think I can stand tall and big.
16, sexual consciousness:
My mind is in a trance, my whole body is crisp and happy, and my penis is raised furiously, as if to put it down and not put it down. Sexual feeling is different from sexual pleasure in daily sexual intercourse. Sexual sensation is a manifestation of strong kidney qi and enhanced sexual function of practitioners. If you lust after sex or even fantasize, it will damage your skills. At this time, you can carry the perineal qi back to your head with your mind.
17, Xiangjiao:
The body emits all kinds of fragrance.
18, color vision:
There are many colors around the body, such as white, yellow, red, black, blue, cyan and purple, especially cyan, blue, purple and green.
19, light sensitivity:
The body feels completely transparent, and there is light around it, or a light beam is emitted from the body, which forms a light mass, aperture and sphere in the body shape.
20, extrasensory:
The feeling of transcending time and space. With the consciousness of selflessness, the consciousness of transcending time and space naturally arises. The transcendence of the sense of space begins when the body is forgotten. When things disappear, space cannot be created. In the realm of the unity of heaven and man, the space that exists as a form will be forgotten, as if there is nothing, if there is nothing. The transcendence of the sense of time is often discovered after the practice. There are two kinds of situations, one is "a few days in the cave, and the world has been a thousand years." The feeling of shortening time, I feel that I have only practiced for a while, and I have looked at the clock for several hours. On the other hand, I think I practiced for a long time, but in fact I only practiced for twenty minutes. When the self-form and even the activities of self-consciousness are forgotten, the perception of time naturally ceases to exist. The transcendence of time and space can be said to be completed in "nothing". When you feel "nothing", you transcend time and space.
2 1, Lingjue:
The emergence of special functions such as remote sensing, prediction, perspective, and "six great powers" is the realm of high wisdom and the intuitive response after subconscious activation. Very sensitive and predictive of future events after entering silence, this is the ability to predict, foresee and predict. Small animals that are several meters, ten meters or tens of meters away around their bodies can clearly crawl and walk, and even perceive someone's emotional reaction, behavior and psychological activities in the distance. This is remote sensing. You can also see your internal organs, bones and meridian system in silence. This intrinsic visual function is perspective. Ancient Chinese medicine observed the the twelve meridians and the eight strange meridians of the human body in the experiment of internal syndrome. As Li Shizhen, a medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, said when talking about the origin of meridians, "The inner tunnel can only be observed by visitors", which is based on the perspective function of the human body in the state of subconscious activation. The "Zhou Xiaotian" of traditional Qigong is to observe the two meridians of Ren Du; The achievement method of "Big Sunday" is to lead the spirit with meaning and communicate with the twelve meridians; The achievement method of Sunday in You Mao is to understand the eight strange meridians. Zen Buddhism takes "six magical powers" as the category, which refers to the advanced realm and special function of qigong practice, that is, "opening the eyes", which can see things that ordinary people can't see, and can see through human internal organs and objects; "Tianertong" can hear sounds that ordinary people can't hear, even the smallest sound in the distance; "God and foot are connected", with flexible limbs, light hands and feet, frivolous body and fast walking; "He knows everything", has inspiration that ordinary people don't have, and is more far-sighted than others; Fatalism can perceive the past and speculate on the future; "Leak everything", after practicing martial arts, you can achieve a state of purity and inaction, indifference to nothingness and no self.
The "twenty-one sense of standing on a pile" mentioned above is the feeling experience and emotional experience after standing on a pile. Let nature take its course and don't pursue it deliberately, otherwise it will bring a burden to the body and mind and even lead to deviation.
Most of the above sensory effects are within the "six elements" (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind). Qigong practice from the "six roots" practice, from the "six roots" practice, that is, "six roots" closed, into the realm of nothingness and emptiness, which is the "entry" in Zen psychology.
When standing in a pile, whether there is psychological activity or not, you must have feelings and reactions. Normal feeling helps to improve the level, otherwise it is meaningless to stand in a pile. Thoughts and feelings are usually difficult to separate. The correct feeling is described by language, and then consciously applied to the station post, which is an idea, while conscious activities produce similar reactions, which are feelings.
Many of the mental activities we use today are handed down by our predecessors based on experience (including feelings). Different psychological activities can have the same feelings, and the same thoughts may also have different feelings. What is the right feeling can only be described in general, because everyone's specific situation is different, and specific analysis is needed when solving problems.
Generally speaking, in practice, as long as you feel comfortable, effective, balanced, not holding your breath, not too nervous, and a little tired or left after practice, you can consider it normal and keep practicing. When practicing, don't look for a certain feeling for an idea, which is easy to become a mere formality and may have side effects. Just pay attention to the practical spirit and specific ideas. Let the feelings naturally form and disappear, so that you can practice kung fu on yourself.
Even if you sometimes need to look for the feeling generated by some ideas, it is also a feeling of seeking meaning without compulsion. The difference between sense of force and sense of meaning depends largely on the depth and dignity of intention. Therefore, if you don't have enough time, don't use too much mental activity. Make sure you can master and control its meaning flexibly.
The process of piling is a process of constant self-adjustment. Because of the feelings caused by scaffolding and ideas, these feelings are used to adjust the requirements of scaffolding and ideas, and also to test the correctness of ideas. In the process of continuous thinking, feeling and adjustment, qi and blood are not nourished, but muscles are self-exercised, achieving the purpose of exercise and the effect of health preservation.
Gong Zhuang at different stages and levels will have different reactions and show different functional states. In addition, due to different physical conditions, different illnesses, different training purposes, and different individual nerve sensitivities, practitioners will also have different reactions. Generally, we don't have to mind these reactions, let nature take its course. The following 2 1 feelings, perceptions and reactions are normal work-related effects, but be careful not to pursue them too consciously. Practice is not for work, but for work; It's no use asking for work. Only pay attention to cultivation, regardless of harvest, harvest self-satisfaction, the so-called "success comes naturally."
(The above article is quoted from the Internet) It is well written and the author is a kindred spirit. If we can have a layered sense of nourishing blood and benefiting qi, strengthening the brain and generating trust, it will be better to combine pile method, rest method, mental method and form and spirit. There are a few points to note, 1. It is mentioned that the purpose of erecting piles is to clear yin and increase yang, or more precisely, to reduce yin and return yang 2. It is mentioned in the article: is it ok to force out the toxic gas of yin and evil in the body and take medicine to detoxify? Yes, but it will consume a lot of energy. The so-called three-point poison of medicine, taking medicine to detoxify is at the cost of consuming vitality. At that time, acupuncture and massage only got through the pulse of the lesion, but also at the expense of fatigue. Moxibustion is a good method, but it still depends on equipment and materials. The simplest and best way to detoxify is to stand by and watch yourself. Standing on the pile for more than 40 minutes every morning and evening, and sweating every time is the best detoxification. Standing piles can not only expel the poison of bone marrow and qi pulse, but also refine qi into the bone and nourish vitality. Eliminating yin and detoxifying is not the power to stand on the pile. It is his strong point to gather qi into the bone and fill the bone marrow. It's Huiyang Medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and massage. Is to build roads, clear road obstacles, and shade. But it needs to be built on the energy supplemented by vertical piles. Therefore, we emphasize the combination of treatment and nursing. Not against it. 3. It is mentioned in the article that it is best not to urinate within half an hour after practice-so it is best to drink water and defecate before formal practice! This is the precautions for rising sun and dumping piles. Many people want to shit when they stand on a pile of things. They couldn't resist and had to pull him out. In short, we should return to Yin and Yang and the first law of life. So you won't be confused by words. _ The above words were shared by Teacher Peng.
