1, the meaning of physical and mental relaxation. Relaxing body and mind is one of the necessary conditions for practicing traditional fitness exercises to achieve results, and it is also an effective method to prevent and treat a series of psychosomatic diseases caused by emotional tension in modern psychological medicine. Relaxation means that while maintaining a stable posture, or in the process of slow movements, practitioners use self-regulation methods to make the skin, muscles and joints of the whole body go up and down, left and right, inside and outside, and make the viscera and brain in a relaxed state. Physical and mental relaxation, on the one hand, is conducive to the natural circulation of qi and blood in the body, reducing the burden on the body and energy consumption, and reducing the basal metabolic rate; On the other hand, it can reduce the excitement of the body, reduce the interference of internal and external environment on the cerebral cortex, help to induce the brain to calm down and accelerate the entry into the traditional state of self-regulating physical fitness.

2. Let go of what you care about. Before practicing martial arts, you must first be mentally prepared. Ask the yogi to let go of the long-accumulated uneasiness. In other words, be calm and relaxed. However, it is not easy to do this, and it can only be done after long-term exercise. Traditional health preserving methods require practitioners to have a healthy mental state, pay attention to moral cultivation and cultivate noble sentiments.

3. Learn to relax from "body" to "heart". According to the principle of the interaction between body and mind, the general relaxation should start from the body and then turn to the relaxation of the "mind". In other words, the relaxation of the body creates conditions for the peace of mind. Physical relaxation means that muscles and bones should be relaxed, not stiff or tight. Only in this way can we create conditions for the relaxation of the "heart".

4. Only inner relaxation can achieve the purpose of quietness. The life style of the ancients was to work at sunrise and rest at sunset, with inconvenient transportation, simple interpersonal relationship and less material desire, which made it easier to reconcile "one heart". Modern people, besides dealing with many complicated things every day, have to accept many new ideas, new ideas and new information. Material stimulation in life can also happen everywhere, and people will be tempted consciously or unconsciously. Fierce competition and fast-paced work often make people nervous, impetuous and tired. In this case, it is difficult to be quiet. To this end, we should follow the principle of "adjusting our mentality and putting nature first" and train ourselves to keep a cheerful, peaceful and contented attitude in our daily life. In practice, gradually eliminate the interference of external factors, so that their mentality gradually returns to the realm of no ego and no desire, open and cheerful.

5. Relax your mind with physical exercise. If it is difficult to relax for a while, you can learn to relax by experiencing the feeling of "relaxation" with the help of your body in repeated training of tension and relaxation. This feeling of relaxation needs some training to find. If you find a pleasant "sense of relaxation", you can relax your whole body with your mind. You can also use psychological hints to relax your body from top to bottom, and you can also repeat some words that help you relax, such as inhaling, being quiet, exhaling and relaxing. After skillfully using this method, it will effectively help practitioners to quickly enter a state of silence.
