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 the corpse of a crane since ancient times. Therefore, 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 very wonderful instinct, that is, the potential of "having to carry on the family line." For example, a bamboo blooms before it dies, so that future generations can continue.
Humans and all animals and plants have the same instinct, so when people die in too much sex, it is easy to run out of life and walk into the road of death.
Chinese medicine believes that the human body has "three treasures", namely essence, qi and spirit. Vitality is the foundation of life and the three elements to maintain human life activities. Only by nourishing the spirit can the human body develop healthily and have fewer diseases. So, how can Chinese medicine maintain its mental state? Is there any good way?
What is spirit?
Essence refers to all nutrients in the human body, which are divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital essence is inherited by parents, and acquired essence comes from diet, which is mainly managed by the 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.
Qi 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.
God refers to a series of mental consciousness and thinking activities of the human body, which are dominated by the heart. The heart is the supreme commander of the human body, and God occupies its primary position. Healthy mind, full of gas, strong body and weak body. Therefore, the spirit pivot evil guest says: "The heart is the master of the internal organs, and the spirit is abandoned. ..... If you are heartbroken, you will go, and if you go, you will die. "
How to keep mental state?
Exquisite stuffing, full of gas and full of 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 own essence, which is full of vitality, vitality, good health, and less illness." Chen Ming Jiru pointed out in The Language of Keeping Skin Healthy: "Essence can make you angry, and qi can make you angry, so essence can also make you angry. Keeping the essence and storing the gas, storing the gas 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 feet, vigorous spirit and complete spirit will make you refreshed and positive. Old people will be able to grow old and live longer, while young people will stay young and delay aging.
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.
Wealth is called eating and sleeping, and ancient Buddhists called it five desires. In fact, it also corresponds to the five elements and five internal organs. Wealth is the gold of the lungs, the color of the water of the kidneys, the hollow reputation of the fire of the heart, the food of the land of the spleen, and the wood of the sleep of the liver. 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: Energetic without thinking about sex, energetic without thinking about food, energetic without thinking about sleep, in fact, it is a process of constantly enriching the corresponding viscera, and finally realizing the fire, water and ji ji and surpassing the five desires.
It is the initial restoration stage of the hundred-day foundation of Taoism. After the four passes of wine, sex and wealth, the lust has been broken, and the essence has been continuously absorbed, and the state of not diarrhea has been restored;
Being full of gas without thinking about food corresponds to the advanced stage of refining gas in Taoism, that is, the foundation of Taoism for 100 days, which finally turns lust into samadhi of fire and opens a direct communication channel with cosmic energy-the so-called "gathering gas" mark, which can achieve the effect of not thinking about food. In ancient times, there was also a saying that eating and eating gas. Careful analysis shows that general food also corresponds to the function of stomach and spleen, and Huangdi Neijing thinks that it corresponds to the nature of heaven and earth, which is closely related to the soil position in the middle palace. "God is too tired to sleep", which the ancients called "cutting the sandman". In Taoism, it corresponds to the process of refining qi to revive the spirit. If you practice this process well, you can do it at night (without sleeping). In fact, this is related to the permeability of the midvein caused by qi entering the viscera. Generally speaking, people can only move 12 meridians, so the flow of meridians is regular, and there will inevitably be the rise and fall of qi at a certain time, which will cause people's psychological and physiological rhythm in a day, and sleep is also caused by this reason. When qi enters the midvein, the qi in the viscera and meridians of the whole body is relatively sufficient, so it is not restricted by the fluctuation of qi pulse caused by rhythm, and it is also possible to sleep. Generally speaking, refinement and refinement can only be carried out after the completion of the primary stage of foundation interception and leakage. Only when refining the essence is completed, can you eat fully, and you can practice the spirit without eating; Only when the essence turns into qi can you feel uneasy, and if you don't sleep, you can return to the air.
