Brief introduction to the theory and method of early Taoist health preservation
Hello, landlord. One of the most important methods of Taoist health preservation is "meditation". Let me describe the method of meditation.

Meditation, also known as meditation and meditation, is a basic practice method in Taoism, which is similar to meditation, meditation and meditation in Buddhism. Dish sitting is divided into natural sitting, single sitting and double sitting, which evolved from ancient people's scattered sitting and kneeling sitting.

Meditation can not only preserve health and prolong life, but also enlighten and increase wisdom, so the ancients highly respected it. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Sima Chengzhen, a famous Taoist, wrote a volume "On Sitting and Forgetting", saying: "At the beginning of learning Taoism, you must sit back and relax and go abroad without a home. Into nothingness, the heart is the Tao. " However, meditation is very difficult for local scholars. Therefore, there are the following requirements for how to meditate into silence:

First of all, you should keep your head straight, your body upright, your mouth slightly closed, your tongue licking your palate, your eyes slightly closed and your body relaxed.

In the Ming Dynasty, Gao Panlong wrote the theory of meditation: "The method of meditation is nothing more than ordinary, and this word is not easy to pronounce." So we say that the posture during meditation is very important; When we meditate, we should also do "inaction", which requires us to get rid of other ideas and keep our hearts in one place. In addition, when you meditate, you need to look inside. In the Seven Signs of the Cloud, it is said that "a wise man looks inside, a famous man looks inside", that is to say, when meditating, you should seek to preserve its spirit and look inside.

The above are the methods and precautions of meditation. If the landlord still doesn't understand, you can go to a nearby Taoist temple or temple to learn more. I hope my answer can help you.

People manage the land, and the land manages the sky.

Heaven, Taoism is natural.
