First, what is spirit?
1, very good
Refers to all nutrients in the human body, which can be divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital essence comes from parents, and acquired essence comes from diet, which is mainly managed by kidney, and is often called "kidney essence". "When people are born, they become refined first". Essence is not only the basic element of human body, but also dominates the whole process of human growth, development, reproduction and aging.
Step 2 be angry
It is a delicate substance necessary to maintain human life activities and a driving force to promote the functional activities of human viscera. It is not only the representation of matter, but also the expression of function. Qi has important functions in the human body, such as bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, warming the viscera, resisting external evils, preserving essence and blood, transforming nutrition, etc. "People's life depends on this gas." Qi can be endless, and if it is endless, the human body will be healthy and disease-free. Therefore, the ancients said, "Qi is the medicine to drown the years". Modern experimental research also shows that "Qi" may be the material basis of immune formation. Therefore, qi should not be consumed or depressed, and depression will lead to many diseases.
3. God
Refers to a series of mental consciousness and thinking activities of the human body, which are dominated by the heart (equivalent to the brain of modern medicine). The mind is the supreme commander of the human body, and God occupies its primary position. The heart is full of gas, strong in gas and weak in gas. Therefore, "Spirit Pivot Evil Guest" said: "The heart is the master of the internal organs, and the spirit also abandons it. ..... If you are heartbroken, you will go, and if you go, you will die. " Therefore, the human body can nourish the spirit by abstinence, thus maintaining health and prolonging life. Bai Juyi said in his poem: "I am so worried, my heart is exhausted and my blood is weak, and my hair is not old." This is a true portrayal of God's emaciation and premature aging. Keeping cheerful and open-minded is the primary task of nourishing the spirit.
Second, how to recharge your batteries?
Exquisite, full of gas and vigorous spirit are the guarantee of health; Deficiency of essence, qi deficiency and mental fatigue are the causes of aging.
Although essence, qi and spirit have their own characteristics, they are an inseparable whole. If they exist, they only exist, and if they die, they all die.
Zhang Jingyue said: "People who are good at keeping in good health must cherish their vital essence. If they are full of energy, they will be healthy. If they are healthy, they will be less sick. "
Chen Ming Jiru pointed out in "The Language of Keeping Skin Healthy": "Essence can be angry, qi can be spiritual, and essence can be spiritual. Keeping the essence and storing qi, storing qi and nourishing the spirit is the key to longevity. "
Some doctors think that essence, qi and spirit are the "inner three treasures" and ears, eyes and mouth are the "outer three treasures". In order to preserve health and prolong life, it is necessary to "always make the inner three treasures not for logistics, and the outer three treasures not for temptation but for disturbance". Therefore, the key to maintaining essence, qi and spirit lies in self-cultivation. The heart is pure and has no desire, the heart is not chaotic, the feelings are not moving, and the gas is not consumed.
The rest method in qigong is to control the body and mind through self-regulation, which is a good means to nourish the vitality of the human body. It requires high concentration of thoughts, meditation, getting rid of distractions and relaxing all over the body, so as to achieve the goal that all thoughts are empty and make the cerebral cortex in a protective and inhibitory state. If you do it for a long time, you can get the effect of maintaining your spirit. Exquisite, energetic, energetic and vigorous, the elderly can be young and beautiful, and the young can stay young and delay aging. This view, such as Taiji Chuan, Baduanjin and Wuqinxi, is a good way to adjust the spirit.
In short, it is very important to preserve health and prolong life, especially to pay attention to the maintenance of "God". In daily life, we should always be cheerful, open-minded and emotionally stable to avoid the invasion of mental illness.
Eating and sleeping is the name of wealth, which is called five desires by Taoism, but actually corresponds to five elements and five internal organs:
1, wealth is gold, and the five internal organs should be to the lungs;
2. The color is water and the five internal organs should be kidneys;
3. False name is the five internal organs of fire;
4, eating for the soil and the five internal organs should be spleen;
5. Sleep should be the liver for the five internal organs.
Of the five desires, color, food and sleep are the most difficult to get rid of, and Buddhism and Taoism all have corresponding transcendence methods and realms.
Ancient Taoism said: the heart is full of lust, the spirit is full of food, and the heart is full of sleep. In fact, it is a process of constantly enriching the corresponding zang-fu organs, and finally realizing the happiness of fire and water and surpassing the five desires.
1, pure to unwanted
It corresponds to the initial restoration stage of Taoism's hundred-day foundation. After four passes of debauchery and wealth, the lust was cut off, and the essence was constantly consolidated, like a child's state without diarrhea.
2, swish (gas) is not enough to eat
Corresponding to the refining of qi in Taoism, that is, the advanced stage of Taoism's hundred-day inheritance, it finally turned lust into samadhi, opening a direct communication channel with cosmic energy. The so-called "gas collection" mark can achieve the effect of not thinking about diet. In ancient times, there were also sayings of avoiding eating and eating gas. After careful analysis, the general food also corresponds to the function of the stomach and spleen. Huangdi Neijing thinks that it corresponds to the nature of the sky, and the second soil becomes the laurel, which is closely related to the connection of the soil level in the middle palace.
3. God is too tired to sleep
The ancients called it the "sleep-cutting demon", which corresponds to the process of spiritual recovery in Taoism. If this process is done well, you can stay awake (sleep) at night. In fact, this is related to the penetration of the midvein caused by the entrails entering the midvein. Most people can only enter the twelve meridians, so the meridian flow is regular, and there will be ups and downs at a certain time, which will cause people's psychological and physiological rhythm in a day, and sleep will also occur for this reason. Entering the midvein, the whole body will be covered with meridians.
Generally speaking, only after the completion of the primary stage of building foundation leakage, can it be refined and refined (Yang); Only when refining gas is completed can the yang be full, and gas can be refined without thinking about diet. Only when the exercise (qi) is completed can you feel uneasy, and if you don't sleep, can you exercise your mind and return to the air.
Fine enough to be represented by deer that mate only once a year.
The spirit is enough to represent the tortoise, and it can survive without eating all the year round.
God is enough to represent cranes. After a crane flies thousands of miles, it can fly thousands of miles with a short rest.
Deer are cute from cubs to adults because their feet are beautiful.
Turtle is a symbol of longevity, because it is full of gas and has strong vitality.
It seems that no one has ever found a crane's body since ancient times, so there is a saying that "the millennium turtle is a millennium crane".
Deer, turtles and cranes are not carnivores, so if you want to live forever, you should give priority to vegetables.
Everything in the world has a wonderful instinct, that is, the potential of "having to carry on the family line"! For example, a bamboo plant blooms in large numbers before it dies, so that future generations can continue.
Humans and all animals and plants have the same instinct, so when human nature loves for a long time, it is easy to run out of life and walk into the road of death.
The human body is nourished by blood gas, the source of which is diet. The unconsumed blood gas will be transformed into essence during the deep sleep of the human body, hidden in the kidney and sealed in the bone for a rainy day. Less consumption and more savings are the guarantee of longevity and health; Spending more and saving less is the premise of aging and short life.
