1, stumbling on both feet

Put your left foot on your right leg first, and then put your right foot on your left foot. This is called king kong sit. Put your right foot on your left leg first, and then put your left foot on your right foot.

The ancient Taoist medical theory in China believed that "essence comes from the soles of the feet", which was not easy or reasonable. Sitting still with your legs bent and feeling numb in your feet and legs just shows that the nerves and blood vessels in your feet and legs are not smooth, which proves that your health has potential problems. When sitting at a certain stage, because I was so angry that my ass couldn't sink, my brain became nervous and I couldn't sit still. If the qi passes from the buttocks to the thighs and knees, it will experience pain, itching, numbness, bloating, cold and heat. Finally, when the qi passes, the pain and numbness will be fine. The human foot is like a branch of ginseng, and rolling it up is equivalent to rolling a ginseng or pine branch into a knot, so that its hair growth ability will not be scattered outside; Return to the original and cultivate the yuan, thus making yourself more robust. Therefore, bending your knees is not only harmful to human health, but also absolutely beneficial and harmless to health and longevity from the correct practice. It is mentioned in Neijing that the qi of a baby lies in the legs. When people reach middle age, their leg strength is weakened, and their leg activity is invisibly reduced. They like to sit on the sofa and often rest their legs. In old age, it is even more unimaginable. It is not enough to sit on the sofa, but also to tilt your legs on the table, because the human body begins to age from the foot, and people's death is gradual, starting from the foot.

2, the spine is straight

When people meditate, the vertical spine is the key. Hips should be padded with a soft pad two or three inches high, and inclined downward from the thigh root to the knee, so that the knee can touch the ground as a support point, and the knee should not be suspended. The principle is to feel the center of gravity is stable, and there is no feeling of leaning forward and leaning back. Then wrap the legs, waist and wind pool points behind you. When it is cold, some people still need Baotou. The upper body is naturally tall and straight, without leaning forward or leaning back. Baihui point and Yinxue point are on a vertical line, but the nature should be relaxed. It should be noted that relaxation is smooth and the meridians are comfortable; Rigid qi stagnation hinders the circulation of qi and blood. Only by relaxing inside and outside can we create conditions for silence. The hip posture is slightly backward and outward. Viewed from the side, the whole spine is in a position similar to the middle of the hips and legs. Sitting like a tower, it is very symmetrical. Some people like to lean against the back wall when they meditate, so they can't lean back like a tower. The posture of sitting is not vertical, but oblique, that is, the coccyx is suspended.

The special feature of personal practice is that the human body is upright, the longitude and latitude are straight, and it vibrates with heaven and earth, and the meridians are regular, not completely disordered. Therefore, we can't feel the pulse of livestock, because its pulse is chaotic. If the body is straight and not inclined, the governor's veins are clear, and the lower ones are hidden. The ups and downs will be regular, the veins will meet the needs of the left and right, and the horizontal direction will be clamped, and the ten sides will be settled and the position will be stabilized.

3. Shoulder strain

Relax your shoulders, but don't hold your chest out. During meditation, the meditator's hands are slightly raised, his shoulders are slightly retracted, and his shoulders are sunken. From the outside, the shoulder is a parallel line; Seen from the back, the shoulders are round.

4. The hand knot is fixed under the navel.

Put your left hand under your right hand and your thumb under your navel.

5. The head is right

The head is straight, the chin is slightly lower forward, the back of the head is slightly retracted, and the activity of the left and right arterial catheters in the neck can be slightly inhibited. The point is, if the head is crooked and the waist can't form a hollow straight line, it's the easiest time to get dizzy. Being born between heaven and earth is itself a spiritual thing between heaven and earth. Because of the skew of this middle line, the meaning of heaven and earth will not fall on you.

6. Eyes are slightly closed

When you meditate, fix your eyes first, and then slowly close your eyes. Close your eyes and don't droop. Only when your eyes are fixed and bright can you conform to the rules. If you look down, if you are not sure, just sit and rest. Eyes slightly open, as if closed and opened, as if half closed and turned a blind eye. Feel free to look at the front of the table seven or eight feet, or one foot two. For people who usually work with their eyes, it is best to close their eyes at the beginning of meditation. Eyes see the distance of one meter ahead, which is the most standard. Looking too far will raise your neck a little, and looking too close will lower your head a little, so a distance of one meter is the most appropriate. You should feel this nose and this navel form a line.

When ordinary people meditate, whether they open their eyes or close their eyes, they look down, and their eyeballs are wrong. Sinking in ignorance makes the mind more confused. The eyes seem to look down, that is, the optic nerve in the back of the head is pulled down, which affects the brain, but it cannot be peaceful and clean. So whether you open your eyes or close your eyes, it doesn't matter if your eyes are straight and your eyelids are closed. Your eyes are straight. Flat, not up, not down, and then close your eyelids, eyes straight, not down, not down, not up, flat, or look forward, and then stop looking.

Everything in the world should be relaxed and not serious, especially when the eyes can see things. Most people should look at the flowers and the scenery and stare at the flowers that God sees with his eyes. This is wrong. As beautiful as the scenery in Hangzhou, we should go out and see the scenery. Let the scenery catch your eye. When you look at flowers, you should receive the spirit of flowers in my eyes. When you look at mountains and rivers, you will receive the spirit of mountains and rivers in my eyes. Don't pin your spirit on mountains, rivers and flowers. It's no use, and neither are you. When you meditate, close your eyes and don't look hard.

7, the tongue licking the palate

The first half of the tongue licks the upper jaw slightly, just like a baby who has no teeth yet when he is asleep. This is called "bridging" in monasticism. Which bridge should I take? There are 365 big holes in the human body, corresponding to the revolution of the earth around the sun. The earth revolves around the sun for 365 days, and the easy number is 9, which is the largest, so every acupoint in the human body should be filled with 9 qi. Twelve o'clock a day, one hour and six quarters, twenty minutes every quarter, that is, one every twenty minutes. When a person meditates, his six roots are clean, and when his mind is not scattered or dizzy, he can breathe every quarter of an hour. After the true qi is transformed, it goes up from the Du meridian and then down to the mouth, which will become sweet body fluid (saliva). Swallowing this body fluid is better than eating a ginseng, which will nourish the four elements of the body and promote the thousand meridians.

Key points of meditation

Put everything down.

What's the use of clinging to things in the world? Everything in this world is a combination of karma, without substance, just like passing clouds, empty and illusory, impossible to get and impossible to take away. Even your own body is fake, you can't keep it, you can't get it, and you can imagine what is outside. Therefore, it is foolish to hold on to things as true. Learning Buddhism and practicing is a gentleman's career with great wisdom, which is not competent by people with small roots and little wisdom. To be a Taoist, we must first see through everything. Concentrate on meditation and you will be enlightened. If you think like this, think like that, and think wildly, it's over. Be sure to let go of everything, like a dead man.

Mind and hearing

This is the secret of cultivating the mind, which is very important for meditation and enlightenment, so I have repeatedly reminded you to follow it to the letter. People are used to illusions. If they don't concentrate on the spell, if they can't stop thinking, how can they be calm and enlightened Therefore, you must listen to your heart, read a heartfelt sentence, and listen to your ears clearly, so that you can stabilize your heart and gradually settle down.

Feel it when you wake up.

You should be able to see an idea when it appears. If you can't see it, run with it. When you run with it, you will be confused and unable to settle down. Therefore, when you read it, you should be aware of it. You can neither drift with it nor suppress it. Just ignore it, mention mindfulness, hold the mantra wholeheartedly, think naturally and settle down safely.

Sit on time

Go to the table on time every day, and it is easy to calm down when you get into the habit. Meditation is best in the morning and better in the early morning. Don't settle down while sitting. Sit down peacefully with a normal heart. There is no hurry or delay in holding the spell. No meditation, no enlightenment, no magical power. Asking for meditation, enlightenment, magical powers, etc. are all illusions. Coupled with this heart, it is an obstacle since enlightenment, which not only hinders enlightenment, but also hinders meditation.

Lower seat observation

Popularize meditation kung fu in meditation to daily use, and use it in cold compress when walking, living, sitting and lying down; Look carefully, there is nothing to live in, neither let the realm run, nor wander with delusions.

Broad-minded

Monks should be generous and inclusive. Even if others are not good to me, I will be better to him. There is no concept of love and evil, joy and disgust. Do all good things with fate, always feel at ease everywhere, without the heart of suffering and loss, without the idea of discrediting success or failure. This is the greatest incarnation.

Matters needing attention

1, from the quiet, hunger strike first. The meat wrapped in fishy smell is heavy and turbid, and the food will be very thick and difficult to subdue. Spicy food is frivolous by nature, and food will be scattered rather than gathered. Be reasonable, fast and spicy, and cook vegetarian meals in order to get rid of the original flavor. If you don't eat too much, it will hurt your spirit. Hunger will hurt you if you don't eat too much. The way to eat this section is indispensable.

2. If you sit still, your heart will shake and your breath will dissipate. If you cultivate a little spirit, you will not only miss the life of husband and wife, but also miss the six roots. Too many eyes is a kind of "leakage", too many ears is a kind of "leakage", and too many mouths is a kind of "leakage"! All six will leak. Why do you emphasize that the first step of a practitioner is to combine six pillars? When the six roots are closed, the spirit will automatically enter the second pulse of Ren Du and return to the middle pulse.

3. Smile while meditating.

When you sit still and think, you can count your breath intently, not your income, but your promise. When you calculate your achievements, you put everything, including your own life, all your troubles and diseases, together with your achievements. Especially if you are sick with a cold, or have tumors or cancers in your body, let it go out with you, and it will be empty when you go out. Count your breath like this, and your body will relax immediately.

Summary:

Meditation is a way to keep healthy. Sit cross-legged with your eyes closed, adjust your breathing, put your hands in a certain position and think nothing.
