Heaven transforms everything with yin and yang, and man cultivates himself with yin and yang. The Tao of Yin and Yang gives birth, and the Tao of Yin and Yang gives birth.
So what is heaven? That is, every day at sunrise and sunset, everything changes with it. This is the sky. In Taoist culture, we pay attention to the unity of man and nature. For example, when the sun rises in the morning, there will be a gas in our body rising from between our legs along our abdomen. At this time, we will wake up from sleep. This gas is also called "energy"
When the sun rises, the essence is that the temperature rises and the heat energy is released. When people feel it, the heat energy in the body is released. The release of energy leads to the exertion of functions, which is manifested as "awakening" in people. At noon, the energy release rose to the highest point, and the sun be the spirit reached the top of the head. When the sun goes down, energy is collected, and the yang goes down from the top of the head and back, and people gradually go to sleep. So sleep is actually a phenomenon of energy release, collection and promotion, which also explains the principle of energy conservation well.
So many people start practicing early in the morning, because when the sun rises in the morning, it is the stage when people's spirit goes up. If we don't get up at this time, we will feel dizzy, sleepy and listless all day. We often get up early to do an exercise, but we will be in good spirits all day, because exercise can speed up the airflow operation of the human body.
Similarly, at night, when the airflow sinks, the human body releases energy. If the yang in our body can't fall down at this time, it will make us show the characteristics of insomnia, dreaminess, anxiety and irritability.
The above briefly expounds the principles related to the human body and nature, and then we will talk about how to follow the heaven and achieve some matters of health and longevity.
Keep enough energy.
The energy of our human body is absorbed from external objects, including the natural energy between heaven and earth, and some of it is absorbed through food. Then the first organ in our body that absorbs energy is the stomach. Therefore, health needs to nourish the stomach first, and if the stomach is not good, it will not be absorbed well. This is why many people around us can't eat fat.
The stomach is afraid of cold, and there is a saying in Chinese medicine: "Cold stomach gives birth to all diseases". If the passage is blocked and the hot air cannot drop, it will go up and reach the throat, which will become acute and chronic pharyngitis and tonsillitis; Oral ulcers, bad breath and toothache will form in the mouth; Walking to the face skin will form acne spots and dark circles; When it comes to the nose, it will form acute and chronic rhinitis and sinusitis; Divergence along the skin and through the lungs can lead to various skin diseases, including bromhidrosis and increased dandruff; When you go to the cervical vertebra, you will form cervical hyperplasia; Tumors are formed in the brain-that is, no matter where the disease is, what is the name of western medicine? In essence, it is "garbage"! There are different names because of different accumulation parts and different densities.
We often hear that so-and-so is deficient in qi and blood. Why does deficiency of qi and blood lead to various reasons? Because the airflow will bring invisible energy, and visible and tangible nutrients or garbage. The flow diverges when it is hot, and condenses and precipitates when it is cold. When the hot air keeps going up and down, excessive garbage will stop gathering and precipitate on the narrow channel, forming tangible pathological products. According to the concentration, the shallowest is normal interstitial fluid, which is called body fluid in Chinese medicine. If it is concentrated again, it will become phlegm-dampness (called blood lipid, grease and cholesterol in western medicine), and if it is concentrated again, it will be called tumor. According to the difference between soft and hard, it will be called powder tumor and benign tumor, while the hard one will be called malignant tumor. It is called hyperosteogeny. So the purpose of treatment is simple: hard to soften you.
The common imbalance of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine is actually the imbalance of energy, that is, the row is not discharged, and the suction is not sucked. At this time, a function of our internal organs is out of order. In summer, when we feel very hot, why do we eat cold food? I feel very comfortable when I eat. This is because there is excess heat in the body, and we need to absorb cold energy to balance it. But when we eat too much, we feel sick to our stomachs. This is the energy imbalance in the morning.
To sum up: if you want to live a long and healthy life, you must adapt to nature and adapt to nature. Understand the laws of the body and nature, achieve the conservation of energy, people live a breath, as long as the breath lasts, people will continue to live, absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and raise the secrets of the internal organs!
