Lateral sleeping is a kind of static self-therapy using lateral position. As far as its basic method is concerned, it should belong to the category of interest adjustment. By calming the mind and adjusting the breath, we can achieve "calming the heart and reducing qi" and induce the sensation to spread along the meridians, which is also commonly known as "internal alchemy". This method imitates the breathing state of the fetus, activates and accumulates the vitality in the body, thus producing the effects of strengthening the body and prolonging life. Ancient health experts believe that the fetus is full of vitality, has no ideological desire outside, and has no consumption of essence inside, which is the ideal state pursued by health care. Side sleeping is suitable for people who are weak and cannot stand for a long time or sit for a long time. There are two basic points in his practice: one is to "calm his mind and calm his qi", and the other is to "calm his heart and reduce his qi"; Second, pay attention to stay in the abdomen at any time, and "receiving gas in the abdomen" can also delay the breathing frequency.

After practicing for a long time, you can enter a deep static state and breathe very slowly, and you can spontaneously produce a special sensory conduction phenomenon along Ren Du's second pulse, that is, you can enter the artistic conception of fetal disease, that is, "internal qi does not enter, and external qi does not enter." However, this phenomenon cannot be forced and guided by ideas, and work will naturally come.

When practicing, it is not limited to day and night. The sun came back, the apex was sitting, and the teeth knocked 36 times. Then he took off his coat, unbuttoned his belt and lay beside him. One leg is naturally straight and the other leg is slightly bent. He put it on his straight leg, and his knees were connected. Two fingers are like hooks, and one hand pinches the tactic (thumb pinches the first horizontal bar of ring finger) to cover the umbilicus; The other hand holds the sword tactic (the index finger and middle finger are straight together, the ring finger and little finger are bent in the palm, and the thumb presses the nail of the ring finger) and bends under the pillow. Eyes to nose, nose to umbilicus, lips and teeth lightly closed, tongue on the palate, eyes closed, see abdomen. For example, raising fetal interest on a crane, breathing continuously on a turtle, and being the governor of operation on a deer. Lying still like this, you can usually practice for hours. After sleeping, you can rub your hands to keep warm before getting up, and then massage your head, face, chest, waist and kidneys.
