Meditation is a method of Taoist health preservation, also called meditation and sitting on a dish. Relevant information shows that Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal who lived for 10 1 year, often meditated when he was young. However, meditation is not just called cross-legged meditation, but it is difficult to ask. Let's look at the correct method of Taoist meditation.

Preparation before meditation

1, you'd better find another quiet room to meditate. If conditions do not allow, you can put it in the bedroom. You should open the doors and windows to let the air circulate, but it is not suitable to sit around when there is wind. You'd better close the door to avoid being harassed by others.

2. When sitting or sitting on a stool or bed, it is always advisable to lie flat. Bedding or cushions should be laid on the seat to make it soft and thick, so as to facilitate sedentary.

3, before sitting, should loosen the belt, so that the muscles are not constrained, gas will not block.

The correct method of Taoist meditation

First, posture

Do it in a meditative posture (it is best not to sleep here, lest you fall asleep).

Meditation posture can be divided into chair type, loose disc type, single disc type and double disc type. It is generally best to sit in a sitting position. When there is no condition for sitting, you can also sit in a chair (that is, sitting in a chair with your legs on the ground). When sitting on a plate, you can sit on a single plate or a double plate according to your own ability. You don't have to sit on the double deck. Taoism does not need double boards. (Of course, two sets are best. )

Please pay attention to the following points when sitting on the plate:

1, the rear part of the hip needs to be padded, and a cotton pad or a thin pillow can be used. In this way, you can straighten your waist naturally and avoid the disadvantages of slow back bending caused by lumbar muscle fatigue during meditation.

2. The waist should be naturally straight. If the waist is not straight, the second pulse of Ren Du will not be smooth, which is easy to cause drowsiness.

3, the head is straight and the neck is straight, and the jaw is slightly retracted. Put your tongue against the palate. Because of daily habits, most people always like to tilt their heads to one side, or left or right, and often feel their heads straight when meditating. In fact, there is still a deviation. Generally, after sitting down, you can put a mirror in front of you to see if your head is in an upright state, find out the state of straight head and neck, and find out the correct feeling of straight head and neck. This can automatically correct the imbalance and qi pulse in the body.

Second, the mind and breathing.

After sitting down, don't close your eyes in a hurry. Calm down first, and then slowly close your eyes (gently close or leave a light) after you calm down and breathe evenly. Focus on your own breathing, silently count the number of breaths, weak comrades count the breaths, that is, one breath counts, exhaling does not count, that is, one breath counts; People who are physically strong and usually angry and irritable will count their exhalations, remember a number when exhaling, and forget it when inhaling. So from one to five, start all over again, and then from the beginning, and so on.

Third, matters needing attention:

1, when counting breath, pay attention to breath, count breath in your mind, and listen to breath with your ears. Concentrate, concentrate, like a hen hatching eggs.

If there are distractions in the process of counting interest, take back your thoughts immediately and start counting from the first one.

2. Pay attention to adjust the breathing to: deep, long, even, slow and soft. "Deep and long": don't breathe for a short time, but continuously and slowly lengthen the time it takes to breathe in one breath; Slowly, you will feel your breath go deep into your body and drive your whole body's qi; "Uniform" means not fast or slow, but even speed; "Slow", breathe slowly but not urgently, "soft", gentle, if intentionally or unintentionally, don't breathe hard.

3. If you can count your breath to a focused level without distraction or meditation, you can change the number from one to ten and slowly transition from one to thirty. Basically, if you can count from one to thirty with no distractions, then the first step-mental training has reached the standard and you can proceed to the second step.
