1, beginning of autumn should exercise restraint.
In autumn, we should pay attention to "receiving", consciously adjust our emotions, keep inner peace, spiritual peace, and comfortable mood, and try to put an end to sadness. Even if you encounter sad things, you should take the initiative to relieve your mood, avoid cold air, and at the same time, you should be restrained to adapt to the calm air in autumn.
To achieve the state of meditation, you need to meet the following three conditions.
(1) cleaning and recovery methods
First of all, let your mood calm down and don't be disturbed by irritability. The method of purifying and nourishing the heart is the most basic spiritual health preserving method in ancient China, and it is also the best method of calming the nerves and nourishing the heart. Sun Simiao, the drug king of the Tang Dynasty, said: "It is dangerous to think too much, it is scattered, it is confusing to think too much, and it is tiring to do too much." . The Medical Code of the Qing Dynasty also records that "nourishing the heart is focused, the spirit is condensed, the qi is gathered, and the qi is complete." If you are worried and upset, it is easy to get old. "These two quotations show that it is very important to keep an optimistic and calm mood for preventing diseases.
(2) indifferent to fame and fortune
Secondly, we should keep the inner state of wanting nothing. There is a difference between doing nothing and doing nothing. It is a lofty spiritual realm under the premise of a sense of responsibility. On the one hand, the state of wanting nothing requires people to maintain a calm psychological state, be indifferent to fame and fortune, not haggle over every ounce, try to avoid unnecessary disputes with others, and be able to look at the changes of people, things and nature in life with a broad and inclusive mind; On the other hand, the state of mind without desire and desire requires people to put aside selfishness and avoid harming their own air. The ancients said that "wine, color and wealth are surrounded by walls, and everyone is hidden in them." If you can jump out of the wall and take it, you will die soon. " It also confirms the influence of maintaining a mentality of wanting nothing on health and longevity.
(3) Regulating the mind helps to moisten dryness.
Finally, people need to realize psychologically that people can eliminate the harm caused by autumn dryness through mental conditioning. People, especially the elderly, can adjust their breath, eliminate anxiety and calm down by practicing meditation and closing their eyes, so that their bodies can better adapt to the dry autumn. Concentrate on physical fitness in autumn, which can be combined with the physical fitness effect of drinking nourishing heart and removing dryness tea.
