Notes on 1 1 June 1 1 one-day tea and tobacco fasting.
Get up early:
Get up early to drink some boiled water, send Sui to school, chat with her on the way, and silently recite the book Huangdi Neijing? Su Wen? The first chapter of ancient innocence.
After entering Jiajingshe private school, I lamented that the teacher really spread yoga as a comprehensive discipline integrating physiology, psychology, philosophy, art, religion and fitness.
Now, on the way to pick up and drop off children, attend classes and take a walk every day, I am silently reciting classics and feel happy.
Early morning:
Walk in the park, breathe, breathe. In this season's island, you can not only see the flowers in full bloom, but also enjoy the colorful scenery and the eternal coconut groves.
Shennongjia said: "Those who eat vitality should not be buried in the ground, and the sky should not be killed." People can interact with Zhong Ling Qi in this world and transform it into human Qi, thus completely eliminating hunger.
I told myself in my heart that I would stop eating for one day today, so I took a deep breath slowly while walking.
Walking, I saw a flower, and time stood still.
The blue sky flew over the plane, leaving aircraft cloud, and time stood still.
When I meet someone, I catch a glimpse, and time stands still.
Seeing the child's sweet sleeping position, the child is innocent and the time is still.
In a static moment, in a lifetime, mystery appears and wonderful ideas emerge. ........

Morning:
When I go home and post the article that day, I will end all the complicated things, make the room full of various versions of Heart Sutra music, connect with the bright sunshine outside the window, and exude a strong spiritual atmosphere.
Sit down and copy Huangdi Neijing? Su Wen? Although work and words have been dancing for a long time, and the ticking of the keyboard is getting more and more rhythmic, I haven't written it seriously for many years. Pen by pen, until the palm of your hand is hot, the strokes become soft and write, just like bowing your head to greet an old friend you haven't seen for years.
Sui's brush usually draws cats, dogs, flowers and birds with her. I borrowed some Zen paintings today. The shape is not meticulous, the color is not unassuming, and a few strokes are leisurely.
Interest is getting stronger and stronger, and then taste the flute. I found that this day's fasting seems to come not for fasting, but for many small things left over from daily life. Finally one day, I don't want to do anything, I'm not busy, I just do these little things that others think are "melodramatic".
This flute has been with me for many years. It has been lying in the bunk beds in middle school, hiding in a small space surrounded by mosquito nets in the university, forgetting the small corner in the rental house. But it reminds me of the martial arts dramas I have seen, such as Jin Jian Carving the Spirit, Crane thimble, Snow Excalibur and The Condor Heroes. ......
With the sound of the flute, those arrogant, desolate and quiet chivalrous tenderness returned to their hearts.
I never thought about tea time and Zen and Xiao's practice. It's really invisible, so I have to respond accordingly.
Noon:
Tea fume:
Stop drinking tea and smoking. You can't choose tea with too high aroma or too dull breath, otherwise it will affect your mind. This Nanhai black tea No.8, I wrote an article about Nanhai black tea a few days ago, knowing that it actually comes from a famous brand black tea that used to be fragrant all over the world. Although it has experienced ups and downs, it is still as mellow as ever.
It is also Nanhai red. I didn't choose high-end goods with exquisite packaging, but I had feelings for them.
Its tea soup is warm and clear, so it is presented in a casual way.
Its fragrance is vague, gentle and simple, and it doesn't catch people, but it makes people want to hold it around.
Like "whether you see me or not, I am there, neither sad nor happy." Miss me, or don't miss me, that feeling is there, you can't come or leave. "love.
Breathing is getting smoother. Inhale, the tea goes deep into the abdomen, exhale, the lips are slightly open, the teeth are lightly buckled, and the tongue naturally touches the front of the palate. When you exhale a lot of breath, the smell of hot tea soup comes back to your face until it is covered by moist water vapor. Then continue to hold your chest, replenish your brain and guide your breathing.
Yin yoga practice:
Mini worship group 8, the more you get to the back, the more you feel that you almost don't need the reverse thrust of your palm every time you worship, and naturally let your hips sit back to your heels deeper again and again. Breath is combined with body, and worshipping truth is as humble as surrendering to the earth.
Next is the seal style, half-shoelace style, all-shoelace style, sleeping swan style and happy baby style.
Finally, I entered meditation, still paying attention to the music of the Heart Sutra, gently, from the tranquility of tea tasting to the tranquility of meditation. My mind is as calm as water, and my consciousness is safe and wonderful.
Tea fumigation ventilation:
Tea fumigation and ventilation is a compulsory skill of tea fumigation and fasting for one day, which can make the viscera function unobstructed and coordinate the harmony of yin and yang in the whole body. Of course, practicing conscious concentration is to help us fast better and more easily.
Stage 1: Simply put, cover your body with a blanket and quickly drink ten cups of hot tea in a small teacup (which can be adjusted according to your physical condition).
The second stage: stop drinking tea, breathe naturally and enter meditation. Feel the pores open and waste is discharged with sweat.
The third stage: the same 1 stage, to speed up tea drinking.
The fourth stage: breathe all over the body three times, and finally breathe naturally and relax.
Stage 5: At the same stage 1, speed up tea drinking. (Personally, I feel that the speed has not accelerated, but I can still finish ten cups very well, haha)
Stage 6: With the repeated drinking of tea soup, the body becomes hot and a lot of sweat is discharged. Imagine yourself hanging in the air and your body and mind evaporating with water vapor. Deep meditation and relaxation.
Finally, end the tea fumigation and ventilation, rub Dazhui point with both hands until the water is dry, take a bath, and lie flat and rest. At this stage, tea smoking and fasting are the most targeted practices. The whole body becomes very relaxed and there is no hunger. There will be no anxiety caused by hunger in my heart. After watching it for a while, I went to rest.
Afternoon:
When Scion returns, play with her and her friends downstairs. I'm in good spirits, but I'm starting to feel a little hungry. Control yourself not to talk loudly and don't talk too much.
At dinner, I smelled the ribs made for her and fed her bite by bite, which was a little hard. Ha ha. Later, I always took this week's Huangdi Neijing chapter with me. I really feel that I have nothing to do, I think little, I feel fearless and tireless. After that, I felt light and clear-headed.
At night:
At half past eight, I went to bed early and listened to music with Sui. After the four favorite famous hunters and the legend of Wu Meiniang, I finally entered the nursery rhymes of Love me, Hug me and Tiger. I don't have a strong sense of hunger, so I keep reading, thinking that when I eat it tomorrow, I will feel the real beauty of its food, let it serve me and enjoy its customs. ...
Stopping tea for a day is not as painful as you think, and it is not what you want in return. I only regard it as a physical and mental holiday, but in this day's life, I met the beauty of the past, felt the classics and realized the wisdom of life.
