Essence, qi and spirit are the "inner three treasures", while ears, eyes and mouth are the "outer three treasures". The inner three treasures are the root of life and the three elements to maintain human life activities. Only by nourishing the spirit can the human body live a long and healthy life and have fewer diseases.
But after all, we are mortal, and we have only a few years to live, so we can't have nothing to want. If we really learn from deer, turtle and crane, wouldn't everyone become ascetic? Mortals have their own ways. They should eat and sleep, then learn some Chinese medicine, keep their mental state and stay young and beautiful forever. This is the pursuit of most of us.
It is recorded in Huangdi Neijing: "Nothing is indifferent, and the true qi will follow." It means that the human spirit should remain in a state of indifference and nothingness.
Keep your spirit inside and stay away from illness. If our mental state is peaceful, our health state will be correspondingly healthy. If our spirit is ethereal and erratic from time to time. Our body functions are also out of balance. Modern people attach great importance to nutrition. In fact, the human body does not need much energy, but 90% of the energy is consumed by wishful thinking.
It is very important to keep your eyes and ears in mind. Laozi said that five colors make people blind and five tones make people deaf. If you miss colorful everyday, your spirit will be consumed. For example, when we look at flowers, our eyes will focus on them and our spirit will be lost.
The harm of mobile phone to modern people's physical and mental health. Modern people rely heavily on mobile phones and spend all their energy on them. The school name of traditional Chinese medicine is Shenjing. For example, watching TV all day, the body's kidney essence is slowly consumed, but there is no feeling at all. But I will feel very tired, because kidney essence consumption is strict.
Looking around wistfully, I saw joy and became greedy. This is a complete waste of energy. The old monk Xu Yun has been in the middle, and his eyes are drooping in the photo. So by the time he was in his 100 s, he was in good spirits, his eyesight was good, and he could even write fine print.
The eyes are soothing liver wood, and the ears are soothing kidney water. Modern people listen to music with loudspeakers. These sounds are all physical sounds, which are harmful to people's spirit. The temple pays attention to clean environment and quiet voice. People should listen to the voice of their bodies. Instead of stretching your ears to listen, you will consume your kidney essence.
The third tongue tastes lighter. Many people pursue heavy taste. Eating hot and sour hot pot, or eating olives, peppers and other meals every day, are all bad tastes.
The root cause of bad taste is deficiency of kidney essence. Like quenching thirst. Thirst, can drinking water quench thirst? In fact, quenching thirst depends on the production of body fluid. Some diabetics feel thirsty all the time, which is why they can't produce fluids in their bodies. Tianjin happens to come from the intersection of kidney water and heart fire, and there is saliva in his mouth. At this time, saliva is sweet. Without kidney essence, you won't feel sweet.
The fourth is the nasal root. Many people like to smell perfume, and ladies also like to wear perfume, but what they don't know is that perfume will hurt the spleen and stomach and make people indigestion. Hokkekyo said that the root of the nose has 800 merits. If the root of the nose is clean, look at a place, okay? For example, if you want to buy a house, you can smell it with your nose. This is the advantage of cleaning the root of the nose.
The fifth is the meaning root, most of people's spirit is consumed by delusion. For example, suspicious people generally have a bad spleen and stomach and are not easy to accumulate fat. Usually the handwriting will be messy, because the ideas are too complicated and easy to be doubted. One moment I think he is a good man, and the next I think he is a bad man. This kind of person is tired. So people should live a simple life, so that they have enough energy.
It is necessary to cultivate one's mind and nature. Only when the spirit and spirit are nursed back to health can the mental state be full. The first step of health preservation is abstinence, letting go of obsession and eating regularly. The natural mental state will be full, full of vitality and comfortable.
First, nourishing sperm is not abstinence, but abstinence.
The liver governs catharsis, and abstinence from catharsis is unfavorable, which makes people feel wronged. Therefore, Chinese medicine is about abstinence, that is, doing what you can. When personal comfort is measured, such as after sex, there is no obvious fatigue and the spirit is not affected. It doesn't matter if you have a slight back pain at that time, you can recover the next day. This is not too much.
Kidney essence turns into qi, relying on kidney yang. Moxibustion is a good way to increase kidney yang. You can moxibustion Shenque, Guanyuan, Qihai, Mingmen and Shenshu.
Moxibustion to the kidneys and abdomen is better to be warm rather than hot. There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that "less fire leads to exuberance, and strong fire leads to swallowing", and warmth means less fire. Moxibustion time is your own, but it must be warm.
Some people get angry easily, and Yongquan point gets angry. Yongquan brings fire back to Yuan, and Yongquan is on the kidney meridian.
Second, there are three acupoints for nourishing qi.
Moxibustion, massage and wishing are the three magic weapons of invigorating qi in ancient times. The difference is that massage is transformed into qi through force; Moxibustion is caused by gasification. The method of regulating qi is that the fire is the fastest, and our little sun is regulated by the power of the sun.
Moxibustion, the most important thing is to hold your breath, put your heart in the place of moxibustion, and feel the spirit is effective. Therefore, it is best to concentrate on nourishing qi when moxibustion.
There are three important acupoints for invigorating qi, namely, Qihai, Zhongshan, Zusanli and Bailing.
Qi sea: in the lower abdomen, on the front line, at navel 1.5 inch. (the point is the center of the navel pointing down 2 horizontally. )
It is an ocean of human vitality. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi-sea can treat all diseases caused by qi deficiency, such as weakness of dirty qi and deficiency of true qi, so it is the first choice for invigorating qi.
Zhongshan: the midpoint of the line connecting the two nipples on the anterior median line. Known as the Qi Sea, its main function is to regulate lung qi, which has a good health care effect on the lung.
Zusanli: It is one of the main acupoints of the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, located on the outside of the calf and 3 inches below the nose of the calf.
It can not only replenish the spleen and stomach, but also replenish vitality. Shui Gu's qi is an important part of qi, which is transported by the spleen and stomach, so it is essential to supplement qi with Zusanli.

It is necessary to cultivate one's mind and nature. Only when the spirit and spirit are nursed back to health can the mental state be full. The first step of health preservation is abstinence, letting go of obsession and eating regularly. The natural mental state will be full, full of vitality and comfortable.
Third, the Taoist minimalist secret method of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan.
Today, I will share with you a handprint commonly used in Taoist health preservation: the grip method.
& gt& gt& gt& gt holding method:
Hold the thumb in the palm of your hand, with the fingertip at the root of the ring finger (fourth finger), then bend the other four fingers and hold the thumb firmly with a little force, just like holding a baby.
This is a firm grip. Usually, making a fist means putting your thumb outside, while clenching means putting your thumb inside.
for reference only
This method is not limited to time, reminding yourself that you can hold it anytime and anywhere. Walking, cycling, chatting, watching TV, meeting, etc. You can hold your arm firmly.
Now that winter is coming, many people have cold hands and feet. You can do an experiment. Now hold your hand firmly and wait a while to see if the cold hand is getting warmer.
This is the essence that the yang is fixed to warm our hands and feet. All winter collectors, especially in this season, can just adapt to the weather and take good care of our precious essence, spirit and spirit as long as they master this method.
Why is>& gt& gt& gt the root of the ring finger?
The ancients thought it was a place where the liver and soul closed their orifices, and the theory of traditional Chinese medicine also put forward that "the liver controls the grip"
We see that newborn children are particularly rich in liver meridian qi, and children often instinctively clench their fists to "settle their souls" for self-protection.
The end of a person's life means "losing all his liver and soul and letting it go".
The book Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period said: "The bones are weak and the tendons are soft and firm." This is just a newborn baby. Although she is weak, she can protect herself from the evil outside. The secret of their protection is to hold her hands tightly.
In Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Chao said: "Hold hands tightly, such as a baby's hand, so as not to be discouraged". Grasping the solid can cultivate our "noble spirit", so as to resist the invasion of external evils and reach the realm of "keeping noble spirit inside, and evil cannot be done" as mentioned in Huangdi Neijing.
& gt& gt& gt& gt Several situations that need special attention to stimulate healthy qi.
1. In the case of sudden change of weather or easy infection in cold season, you can conduct firm meditation according to the above methods, which can help you drive away external evils and preserve healthy qi in your body.
2. You need to walk for a long time in cold nights or foggy days, or you can put your hands in your pockets to prevent foreign germs from invading your body and avoid infection.
3. When visiting patients in the hospital, holding hands can stimulate healthy qi, open your "golden bell jar", and the disease will naturally stay away from you.
4, grip can lock kidney qi, kidney essence and kidney water, nourish yin and reduce fire. Symptoms such as nocturnal emission, enuresis, rectocele, leukorrhagia, metrorrhagia, etc. , can also be treated by clamping fixation.
5, often hold can promote blood circulation, hair care, beauty. Chinese medicine believes that "hair is blood" and "the flower of kidney is in hair", that is to say, your hair is black and shiny, which can indicate that you are full of essence and blood. Fixation can strengthen essence and nourish liver and kidney, and of course it can also help you blacken your beard and hair.
