How did the ancients meditate and be prepared for danger in times of peace?
Jianhua ancients like to keep in good health in silence, even Confucian scholars should enter silence and adjust their breath in meditation. In particular, Taoism divides cultivation into several stages: refining qi, refining spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness and reaching the goal. Meditation can really play the role of health preservation, can nourish the spirit and transform qi, so that kidney yang is sufficient and essence is not vented. In ancient China, relaxation, quietness and nature were advocated as the principle of keeping in good health. In meditation, we should refine the essence of qi, turn the spirit to help yang, help people calm down and get rid of troubles, so as to make people calm and healthy and achieve the purpose of getting rid of diseases. Ms Xu's time is really hard enough. There are a lot of things at home and at work, which makes Ms. Xu upset and upset. She is bored and worried every day. Ms. Xu said that she seemed to be depressed and exhausted. Like Ms. Xu, we should learn some correct health knowledge and adjust ourselves well. Otherwise, how could she not be depressed for a long time? The following is about her, introducing some ancient knowledge of health preservation. Quiet, in short, is sitting still. Is cross-legged meditation, mental defense. The specific method is: two legs or one leg, hands tied-four fingers of both hands overlap up and down, and the two thumbs are naturally butted. Take a deep breath, get rid of all distractions in your mind, and sit still with your eyes closed for at least 30 minutes. When the human body sits quietly, the breathing frequency slows down, the heartbeat slows down, the tension of the body muscles is relieved, the body is completely relaxed, and the rest time is even far more than sleep, so modern medicine calls meditation "more advanced rest". Of course, regular meditation can also greatly improve people's sleep quality. "Silence is empty" gradually makes the body and mind enter a state of physical and mental silence, and everything in the heart is empty. When people are quiet for a period of time, they will feel clearer and clearer, and even feel the blood flowing inside the body. At this time, all the viscera and organs of the body gradually returned to their original natural state, and even a little pain of the body could be felt, and the viscera and organs slowly began to become vibrant. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that static energy can tonify kidney qi, making people full of essence, full of spirit and full of yang. In the Taoist cultivation method, after kidney essence is transformed into qi, if people can continue to sit still and practice, the qi of human body will be further transformed into essence. That is to say, to complete the "big Sunday" in the human body and achieve the "refining spirit". Therefore, when people are full of gas, they will be full of energy-silence can make people "full of energy". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the highest state of refining gas by static gas is to achieve a vacuum state in which things are different from people. After circulating in the body for one week, the qi pulse and energy formed by the essence, qi and spirit of the human body will return to the kidney, bring back new essence, and constantly gather at the Mingmen point of the kidney, thus reaching a higher level. This is because meditation can make people "yang foot". Meditation and meditation can make people achieve the kidney-tonifying effect of "full of essence, full of essence, full of essence and full of yang", which is also the stage of ancient people's health preservation and longevity in practice: "refining qi, refining spirit, refining spirit is still empty, and refining emptiness is combined." If a person can really concentrate on meditation and keep his essence secret, he will naturally be nourished and tempered. However, the essence and spirit of human beings are all produced by the innate essence of human beings-kidney yang. On the other hand, the essence, qi and spirit in the body of the practitioner will eventually return to kidney yang in the continuous cycle of Sunday. Therefore, the real person who keeps in good health must first be full of essence, because essence is full, essence is vigorous and spirit is vigorous. The vitality is full of kidney yang and kidney yang, and the body is bound to be strong and less sick. Ms. Xu listened intently, unaware that time was slowly losing, and her restless mood was obviously alleviated. So looking at her undivided attention, she has achieved concentration and peace of mind, and reached the state of selflessness, which is actually a state of silence. In daily life, we still have a lot of experience about this kind of meditation. For example, if you concentrate on watching movies and listening to music, you will achieve this meditation effect. The ancients in China were quiet and had high demands on the surrounding environment. Especially those who become monks, in order to achieve better cultivation effect without being disturbed, all like to hide in famous mountains and rivers, deep forests, or live in houses, or simply live in caves to live in seclusion. People living in modern cities can use it flexibly, and they can use the time that others spend for entertainment and rest to get quiet at any time, and their posture can be more casual. It is generally convenient to choose a quiet time after getting up in the morning or before going to bed. Of course, the ancients preferred to meditate in the dead of night, or choose the most sunny time at noon. Modern people don't have to be so particular, they can do it anytime and anywhere, and it is best to maintain it for more than 30 minutes at a time. Persist in meditation for a long time like this, and consciously relax your body and mind by eliminating selfish distractions, which will inevitably lead to unexpected gains.
