Meditation in one posture for a long time is not good, and qi and blood are blocked. It doesn't matter whether you are sitting or lying down. Sitting comfortably is the most important thing. When you are comfortable, you can have peace of mind. The best time to meditate is Zi Shi and Yin Shi. When Zi Shi opens the sky, when Chou Shi opens the ground, everything happens in Yin Shi. 3 am to 5 am is the most important time for practice. If a person can practice at this time all his life, he must have achieved something. But it is equally important to focus and keep God at all times. Don't hold your breath, and don't stick to your abdomen. What you need in meditation is to keep your mind still, so that you can stay healthy without leaving your body. The founder of Chongyang has long said that the outer three treasures are not leaking, and the inner three treasures are self-contained. If you don't look, listen or talk, you will live forever. The same is true of closed doors. It is necessary to close your eyes, ears and mouth. Some people just shut themselves up and never see anyone, even if they are locked up for three years, it is useless. The road is easy, but the trick is hard to find. "Jing Jing Jing" says that "people can always be clean, and heaven and earth belong together." As long as people can sit there quietly, the energy of heaven and earth can come back. When the body and mind can be integrated, the body will naturally change. At this time, it will naturally guide us how to open that trick. No matter where you are, sit still when you have time, don't think too much, and concentrate on pranayama. The body's energy reserve is enough, and it comes naturally, and Shen Yuan returns to his position. Posture is not important. If I can cross my legs into a fairy, I will tie myself up.
Grandpa said that the simple road is not complicated, the road is simple, and the complicated road is not. Eat less meat, eat more vegetarian food and often walk in the moonlight. Let go of fate and live as long as Peng Zu. Those mysterious tricks are annoying.
Someone asked me, now that Buddhism and Christianity have flourished, why has your Taoism declined? I think, let alone believe in Taoism, that is, fewer and fewer people know about it. However, I asked them, do you think there are more mushrooms or ganoderma lucidum on the mountain? Are there more fish and shrimp in the sea or dragons?
People who really have Taoism will not appear in society. He will only appear when he wants to see you, and will not be crowded in famous mountains and rivers for people to visit. They don't meet at all, and they don't recognize you when they meet. Because there are many people who believe in heresy and few people who believe in truth in this society. If a person doesn't believe it, you have nothing to say.
Every year, people who admire Taoism go to Baguading, and I once took them as disciples. It's a pity that the road to seeking Tao is too hard and lonely. None of these people can persist in practicing for so many years. It always wastes my time and makes me sad. I seldom praise others. I think most people who say good things have a purpose. If someone speaks well of me three times in a row, I will be especially careful. Three more and two less, run back when it snows. I'm not an idiot. I know who is lying to me.
