Looking at the longevity of the elderly, there are different means. Some people eat a special food every day (such as Lycium barbarum, porridge, Polygonum multiflorum Thunb, Panax notoginseng, etc.). ), some people can live long without any health care products, some people exercise diligently every day, and some people sit still all day. These methods are not only different, but also diametrically opposed. Why can we achieve the goal of maintaining health and longevity? Everyone is imitating the same regimen, but only a few people can live long?
Traditional Chinese medicine stresses that treatment should be based on essence, and health care should also be based on essence. The similarity of long-lived old people lies not in the details of living habits, but in the word "love".
They love their bodies and their lives. Because they love themselves, people around them are full of love. They will pass this love to everyone around them invisibly, so no long-lived old man is unfriendly.
Because of love, they will choose some ways that are beneficial to their health. There are many ways, whether to eat health food or not, and not to exercise. All health care methods will only work if you love yourself.
If you are full of hatred and have no love for your body, it is difficult for the gods to make you live long. This kind of love is not selfish. A person will love others only if he loves himself first. Confucianism says "cultivate one's morality, keep one's family in order, govern the country and level the world". Only by being yourself first can we help others better.
In the world view of traditional Chinese medicine, the world is created out of nothing, and many diseases are generated from the "nothingness" of an originally healthy body. Any change visible to the naked eye is formed over time through changes invisible to the heart.
If a person is full of negative emotions such as inferiority, anger, hatred, fear and complaint for a long time, his body will change accordingly and diseases will appear. If a person's mind is full of love, joy and gratitude, his body will be full of vitality and health, surrounded by love.
There is not a word about health preservation in Huangdi Neijing, a classic of traditional Chinese medicine. Eating something can prolong life, and doing any exercise can prolong life. Countless emperors and nobles in history have gone to great lengths to live longer. Some people have taken all the medicines that can be found in the world, and some people have refined pills and taken them orally. These people who rely on drugs to maintain their hearts have long died, which is useless and harmful.
In fact, everyone knows that there is no elixir in the world. Everyone laughs at people like Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, who spend a lot of manpower and material resources to live forever and eventually fail. However, many people still wish a little fantasy and pin their hopes on health care products. Again, I suggest you focus on cultivating your mind.
Some people will ask, "I cherish my body very much." In order to have a healthy body, I took a lot of medicine. What Cordyceps sinensis, sea cucumber and ginseng are sick and aging before they are old? "
There is a place that is easy to confuse people. Actually, these people don't really love themselves. In fact, they are full of fear, afraid of their aging and illness. Therefore, they can't relax. As long as they do anything they think is good for their health with fear, the result will inevitably get worse and worse.
Love and fear are actually two opposite emotions. The emotional derivative of love is gratitude and gratitude for what you already have. Fear comes from complaining about what you don't have. If you always complain, it will only increase your fear, thus increasing your body's dissatisfaction.
We should be grateful that our eyes can see the beautiful world and our ears can mention the wonderful melody of nature and the universe. Because of my strong body, I can work better for my family and society. When eating or exercising, be grateful for the energy that these ways bring to you and make you energetic; Be grateful for everything you can be grateful for, and your body is full of love. Under the tolerance of this invisible love, the body will gradually become healthier, the face will become better and better, and the face will become more and more kind.
If you are always full of fear, always complaining, and have some dissatisfaction with your body, I suggest that you don't fight fear, but thank the physical discomfort caused by fear, and thank the healthy body, which can feel this fear and show it through illness. You know, many people's physical reactions are not sensitive, and they will show discomfort in the late stage of serious illness, but it is too late. It is because of these discomforts that you gradually feel that you are far from love.
Try to calm down, slowly find the feeling of love, return to love and let the energy of love fill your body and mind.
There is no way out. When our hearts are filled with love instead of fear, we can follow certain habits and lifestyles.
