Sometimes it's really hard to think about us. We endure the deepest night, bear the greatest pressure, face the most complicated environment, but we don't know when the bad luck of serious illness will come, and we are helpless! We know that from astronomy to geography, we can reach space and the moon, but when our lives are threatened, we are unarmed and can only do nothing. Is modern civilization a chain in disguise?
What is the deep-seated reason behind this? In fact, the current disease is not simply a problem of our physical operation, but the result of mental state, social operation and other aspects, which is already a deep-seated problem.
Let's look at an example first: why does a person get gastric ulcer? Because there is no fresh blood in that part of the stomach, because fresh blood is the best repair tool, containing antibodies, phagocytes, nutrients and so on. Why is there no fresh blood flowing into the stomach there? According to Huangdi Neijing, anger hurts the liver. If a person is angry and complains frequently, turbid qi will slowly accumulate in the liver. We all know that the liver and gallbladder are connected, and the turbid qi of the liver is transmitted to the gallbladder and then to the stomach. In this way, more and more polluted gas in the stomach will block the normal blood flow, resulting in the inability of fresh blood to flow quickly and smoothly, so it will be infected with bacterial viruses. So many physical diseases are often heart diseases.
Let's first look at the scientific achievements in the west. In 2007, a best-selling book from the United States was introduced to China with the title "Diseases from the Heart". The author of this book is a doctor. According to his decades of medical experience, he summed up a rule that nearly 80% of human diseases are caused by psychological factors, and only about 20% are caused by external factors such as bacterial infection.
Others have done an experiment: hanging monkeys, electrifying them from time to time, keeping them in an anxious mood, and soon they got stomach ulcers. The pathological mechanism of gastropathy was studied by means of fibergastroscope, X-ray, EEG and biochemistry. It is found that the occurrence of gastropathy is closely related to the excessive excitement or inhibition of cerebral cortex and the dysfunction of autonomic nervous system.
Look at the wisdom of the East again, as the Huangdi Neijing said: Anger hurts the liver, likes sadness, thinks about the spleen, grieves the lungs, and fears hurting the kidneys. Everything is a problem in my heart. Each of our emotions and thoughts will directly affect our physical condition, accumulate over time, and then show it through external organs, and finally form diseases. Therefore, "nourishing the heart" and "treating diseases" should complement each other and be indispensable.
If one doesn't know how to cultivate one's mind, he won't live long even if he eats the elixir. Is Qin Shihuang good enough? He mobilized the strength of the whole country and couldn't find a panacea. In fact, the real panacea is in his heart, but he can't see it, because he is blinded by high power. By the same token, modern people are blinded by impetuous environment. We always ask outside, but refuse to ask inside. Uneasy mind, impatient mood, full of desire and long-lasting hatred are the most fundamental reasons for our illness.
Second, the first taboo of the heart is one: chaos. If you are upset, everything will go wrong. Calm mind means harmony of qi, harmony of qi means smoothness of blood, smoothness of blood means sufficiency, and sufficiency means prosperity. People pay attention to a "spirit" when they live. At this time, people's resistance and immunity are very tenacious. This is not idealism, this is morale, just like when two armies are at war, the one with strong morale will win! In fact, whether it is hard work, sales, or entrepreneurship, people must have a high-spirited state in order to overcome difficulties.
Therefore, the treatment should be based on the heart. Some people are too fragile inside, such as suddenly knowing that they are seriously ill or have cancer, and their hearts suddenly collapse, which is very troublesome. When people are sick, they must not have resentment, complain about the injustice of heaven, and complain about the ups and downs of fate. As long as they can calm down, the next problem is small. Why are people who know the way healthier? Because they are proficient in the logic of everything in the world and understand that suffering is a part of life and ups and downs are the normal state of life, they will not complain when facing setbacks, but face them calmly.
Everything has rules, and everything has to go through four processes: birth, growth, collection and hiding. Spring sowing, long summer, autumn harvest and winter storage have their own characteristics. In the unused stage of the hidden dragon, you should work hard; When it's your turn to recharge your batteries, don't rush for success; If you have experienced sudden suffering, it means that there is greater gain ahead. If people are aware of this kind of consciousness and reach this state, it is difficult to be restless inside.
Third, the inner second taboo is: greed, never covet what you don't deserve. A greedy word can make people lose their minds, get possessed, make their behavior out of order, make trouble outside their bodies or a trivial matter, and make their bodies out of order. This is the big deal! As long as people are greedy, they will inevitably overdraw their bodies to ask for more things. Behind insatiable greed is overdraft, and physical problems will not appear in a short time, but as long as they appear, they are often hard to return!
Why does Chinese medicine have no cancer? Because "you can cure diseases when you go to work, and you can cure diseases when you go to work", the real Chinese medicine is actually preaching. They teach us to balance our bodies so that extreme consequences will not happen. Cancer is because we never adjust our physical and mental state at ordinary times, resulting in the accumulation of extreme consequences. Now, the environment has disrupted all the traditional order and even led people into the magic road. The so-called magic way is to forge, speculate and deceive each other. All these have brought people into the world of infinite greed, and there will be more and more intractable diseases in the world.
Fourth, the third taboo of the heart is: hate must be solved first before there is an incurable disease. If a person always blames all the problems on the outside world, it means that he never reflects on his own problems and can't see his own inner shortcomings. Hate others, hate the environment, hate the injustice of heaven, hate the untimely birth, such people will certainly show cynicism, their hearts are unbalanced, and their words and actions must also be unbalanced. Such people are prone to depression, unhappiness, depression, sensitivity, long-term development, and their physical condition can be imagined.
Forgiveness is the best prescription when the heart is one inch wide and the illness retreats ten feet. I put it down, as long as I put it down, I will get well, and fans will feel suddenly. People who have no stagnation in their hearts can live a full life. Permeability is the healthiest state of a person's body and mind.
In the future society, if a person wants to live a long and healthy life, he must cultivate his mind. It is more important to cultivate one's mind than to work hard. Facing all kinds of changes in the outside world, taking impermanence as the normal state, letting the world of mortals temper their minds and forge a strong heart is the most critical ability for a person in the future.
The secret of cultivating the mind is one word: quietness.
"Quiet" is to constantly improve their ability to blend with nature, and finally achieve the realm of harmony between man and nature. For example, in Buddhist meditation, your brain and all physical and mental cells are in a state of high silence. At this time, your brain is like a superconductor. Taoism's "Be empty, be quiet, and do everything at the same time ..." is to teach us to experience the law of reciprocating motion of things in an extremely quiet way, so as to gain enlightenment.
It's really quiet, whether it's good or bad, the mood is the same calm. No complaints, no complaints, no delusions, no obsession, and few physical problems. They open their hearts, forgive others and let go of their anger, anxiety and fear. Naturally, qi and blood are usually harmless.
Greed and ignorance are the most poisonous things in life. These three poisons are the enemy of the body. Learn to cultivate the mind, and all poisons will not invade.
Self-cultivation has nothing to do with achievement, money and technical level, but only depends on one's own consciousness. The benefits of cultivating the mind are not only physical health, but also the development of our innate wisdom and ability.
Sixth, the highest state of health preservation is nourishing the heart. The highest state that nourishes the soul is inner compassion.
Compassionate people have a kind of compatibility, they can melt harmony and * * *; Compassionate people have a kind of self-discipline, and only by doing something can they be truly free. Compassionate people have a kind of self-confidence, self-confidence is not for others to see, self-confidence does not need to be proved.
In fact, no matter rich or poor, the more mature people are, the easier it is to find a truth: the most rare thing in life is to live with peace of mind. Poverty and wealth are not fundamental, let alone eternal. The rich enjoy happiness without benefiting, just consume happiness, and then they will be poor. Diligence is beneficial to the poor, and ripe fruit is rich.
Life is a kind of practice. To be a real hero, benevolence, wisdom and courage are indispensable.
The so-called benevolence is a compassionate and kind heart;
The so-called wisdom is the ability to see through the law;
Courage is a kind of courage to face life and death!
