Don't laugh at it. Sit-in has a long history in China. Now, this "sit-in fever" has become the most popular fitness method in the United States, Britain and other countries and regions!
It is believed that the first priority of Chinese medicine is to cultivate the mind, and meditation is the best way to cultivate the mind. Deng Tietao, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, usually doesn't get up in a hurry after waking up every day. Instead, first adjust your breathing and breathing in bed, and calm your mind through meditation and other methods.
Meditation 10 minutes = 7 hours of sleep.
Huangdi Neijing tells us that all diseases are born of qi. Any factor that affects the generation and movement of qi will make people sick. Scientific health preservation should pay attention to the balance between qi production and exercise, and meditation can achieve this balance.
Wang Yangming, an ancient sage with the same fame as Confucius and Mencius, once said, "Sitting still is a long-standing way." According to the Oriental Today newspaper, the literary master Guo Moruo was in poor health when he was young. He was seriously ill when he was a child, and contracted typhoid fever at school, which caused deafness in both ears. When he read the case of Wang Yangming meditating on his illness and health, he was inspired and immediately tried this regimen. He sits for 30 minutes after getting up in the morning and before going to bed at night.
In less than half a month, a miracle happened. Guo Moruo's sleep quality has been greatly improved, and his memory and appetite have returned to normal. He can gradually do high-intensity exercises such as riding horses, and he does not feel too tired after exercise. From then on, Guo Moruo insisted on meditation all his life, which made him have enviable exuberance and longevity.
Meditation can not only achieve the self-balance of the body, but also strengthen the body and improve the function of internal organs. Used for chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, nephropathy, gout, lung disease, heavy body, cold limbs, rheumatism, etc. It has a significant regulatory effect.
According to the Shenzhen Evening News, American scientists conducted a physiological experiment on 40 students. Observations show that as long as you sit for 5- 10 minutes, the oxygen consumption of the human brain will drop by 17%, which is equivalent to the change after 7 hours of deep sleep.
At the beginning, we mentioned Deng Tietao, a master of Chinese medicine at the age of10/kloc-0. He sits quietly after waking up every day. Deng Lao sat quietly and relaxed at will. Usually he is used to sitting with one leg crossed. Instead of forcing himself to cross his legs, he let himself sit comfortably and quietly. This is worth learning, especially for the elderly who practice meditation. If you can cross your legs, cross your legs; If not, you can cross your legs. When sitting quietly, he naturally closes his eyes, eliminates other thoughts in his heart, and focuses on one breath at a time, which helps to clear his mind, calm his emotions and concentrate.
But if you sit still for a long time, your blood will stagnate for a short time, so every time you sit still, Deng Lao will master the state for a certain period of time. If you sit still for a long time, you will dredge the blood of your limbs through massage and other methods. Many people find it difficult to think completely when sitting still. He suggested that as long as they don't think too positively, it is also beneficial to sit in a daze. Let yourself relax, the most important thing is to calm down.
The specific operation of meditation
A friend benefited from sitting still, and no one in the family was sick for many years. Just now, Deng Lao introduced his meditation experience. I'll comb it carefully for you.
How to swing your legs?
Cross your legs: put the left calf on the right thigh, so that the left palm is slightly aligned with the right thigh, and then pull up the right calf and put it on the left thigh; At this point, the soles of your feet are up and your legs cross into a triangle. This is called "cross-legged". Its advantage is that the knees must be close to the cushion, and the sitting posture is natural and correct, and it will not be skewed. However, this cross-legged posture is not easy to learn. People over middle age are more difficult to learn, so don't force yourself.
Cross-legged: When sitting, the left calf is placed above the right calf.
Bottom plate method: If you can't even do a single plate, you can lower your calf. But both knees are empty and prone to skew. You should always pay attention to correction.
Sit flat: You can put your feet flat on the ground, but keep your legs and feet at a 90-degree angle.
note:
1. The best time to sit still is when you just wake up from sleep, which is the best time. Any other time is fine, but don't do it within an hour after dinner.
2. If possible, soak a cup of medicine for dredging meridians before meditation and drink it while it is hot.
After sitting for at least 20 minutes, you can massage yourself to clean up the blood, or do exercise, walk or sprint.
4. Increased appetite and increased exhaust (commonly known as farting) are all good phenomena. Don't worry.
Wear more clothes whenever you feel cold during meditation, whether in winter or summer. As long as you feel hot, you can wear less. Dress loosely, but don't catch the wind.
6. When you sit still, your muscles must relax. You can sit cross-legged on the bed or on a stool without a backrest, but you can't sit directly on the ground without a cushion.
7. Double-board meditation is the fastest, but you don't have to force it. This is not good for your health.
8. When practicing, pay attention to the movements of the head and neck, face, eyes and mouth: the head and neck should be straight, the face should be forward, the eyes should be closed gently, the mouth should be closed, and the tongue should not be opened.
