Static working mode

1, external effect of static work

Taoist cultivation, in the final analysis, is to cultivate the inner essence, qi and spirit. So the external posture is not important. I just want to be able to keep my head straight, comfortable and natural, which is the biggest principle.

For static work, sitting, standing, or horizontal, or walking is also acceptable. The main points of various postures are as follows:

Sitting, you can sit flat on a stool with your calves perpendicular to the ground or crossed; You can also sit cross-legged on the bed. People who have difficulty sitting cross-legged can put a pillow under the seat first. Put your hands together, hold your thumb in the shape of Artest's chart, put it on your abdomen, or touch your knees with your hands.

Stand, stand naturally, knees slightly bent, hands folded on the abdomen, or vertical to the side.

Horizontal, generally lying on the side, bending the elbow pillow with one hand, separating the thumb and forefinger, putting the ear into the tiger's mouth to open the ear hole; Put the other hand on the hip or abdomen; The leg is also in a stretching and bending posture, just the opposite of the hand.

When walking, you should choose a quiet place with few people, a park or a bigger yard, where there is no other interference and the road is relatively flat. Walk slowly, like a cloud. You can rest by listening while walking, but don't close your eyes.

Choose a posture and do it well, then start exercising. For external effects, the repair points are as follows:

(1) Relax all over, no matter what posture you take. This kind of relaxation is not a soft ball, so it is necessary to keep the head and spine straight to facilitate the smooth flow of meridians; But don't become stiff, which is not conducive to relaxation and will also hinder the smooth flow of meridians. To relax, first ask your shoulders to sink. Ordinary people are usually nervous, unconscious, and their movements do not meet the requirements of relaxation; Now when we are practicing kung fu, we can naturally relax by adjusting our movements first.

(2) binocular drapery, which means slightly closed. Why do you need to close your eyes slightly? Because opening your eyes is easy to breed distractions, closing them all is easy to fall asleep, which is not conducive to exercise. The formula of micro-clearance is "open three clearance seven", that is, open three clearance seven. The specific method used to be oral sex, but now it is obviously drooping eyelids, so that you can see what is in front of you and can't distinguish it.

(3) The tip of the tongue on the palate is called the mouth, which is also called "plug" in the Dan Jing, that is, the mouth is clenched. Putting the tongue on the palate was also a secret story in the past. To turn the tip of the tongue upside down, push the bottom of the tip of the tongue to the upper jaw. Because there are two small nests on the upper jaw, which are called "Tianchi point" and are connected by mud pills, it is the easiest to leak? . So acrobatics must be banned like baby breastfeeding.

(4) natural breathing, that is, natural breathing, but avoid stubby. With the deepening of static work, nasal breathing should be gradually deep, long, even, thin and subtle.

(5) Holding the tactic with both hands and pinching the tactic with both hands is also called "meridian decision". At this time, the left index finger and thumb draw a circle, the right thumb is placed in the circle, and the right little finger is placed under the left little finger. Seen from the direction of the thumb, it is in the shape of a "Tai Chi diagram". Embrace each other like this, the yin and yang of the human body will naturally communicate, and after a while, both hands will feel hot and bloated, which is wonderful, that is, the effect of two gases communicating. Taoism is gender-neutral.

2. Internal static exercise.

(1) Listen.

The purpose of static work is to enter silence. The meaning of silence is to calm the body and mind. In order to meet the requirement of silence, we must first eliminate all other thoughts, which is the most critical principle of the silence method.

But people's thinking habits, the brain is always thinking about problems, even if they sleep, they will dream, and once they stop, it is difficult to do it. In order to achieve the goal of silence, ancient Taoist priests created many methods, such as listening to qi, sitting and forgetting, keeping one, counting interest and so on. Comparatively speaking, the Taoist Zhuangzi's "listening to qi" method is the best.

The so-called "listening to the breath" means listening to your own breath. As we said before, static work requires natural breathing. The way to listen to your own breathing is to listen with both ears, that is, to exclude all external interference, such as entering a silent world and listening to your own breathing. At first, I just listened with my ears and didn't have any thoughts.

Note: the so-called "listening to the breath" requires both ears to listen, just like listening to the sound of inhalation and exhalation. But inhaling and exhaling need to be quiet. "Listening to the breath" means asking him to focus on the inner notes and keep quiet; Not close your ears or listen to the sound of breathing. "Listening" means paying attention. Just follow the route of inhalation and exhalation and do it slowly. As for the speed, thickness, depth and length of breathing, we should change naturally, and don't force it with our minds.

After listening, my mind is interdependent, my thoughts are completely absent, and even my breath seems to have disappeared, gradually reaching the realm of "quietness".

(2) Sightseeing

The "sightseeing" method is the secret cultivation method of Taoism. In the past, it was secret and not taught, and mentoring was passed down. The function of sightseeing is cultivation. Our nature, originally nothing, came from the universe before the afterlife. So the fundamental way to refine sex at this time is called sexual work. Some people think that the Taoist "sex" is the truth, and there is no kung fu, because you have not been taught sex by the master.

The root of sex lies in one of the eyebrows. This knowledge comes from before our next life, so it is called "ancestral knowledge".

At the beginning, sit quietly for a while and use the "listening" method mentioned above. After the body and mind calm down, they will turn a blind eye and stop in front of the "Zuqiao". This "pre-ancestor experience" is not in the body, nor does it leave the body. It is about an inch and a half in front of you.

Note: the method of "viewing ancestors" is to gather one's own meta-nature. When the meta-nature gathers, it naturally meets the light. But this realm is natural and must not be pursued; If you pursue it, you will meet the light, but that is fantasy, not truth. Many people who practice qigong often enter the magical realm unconsciously. It was really a miss, a thousand miles away. As if nothing had happened, you seem to want to have a look. Between unintentional and intentional, you can't be intentional and unintentional. Naturally, yes.

Be careful to put it in the "ancestral consciousness" a little, and you can have your own sexual light. At first, it was a little bit, drifting with the flow, and the light was weak, so don't worry; At first, it seemed to come from the outside. After discovery, it is absorbed by the mind a little and fixed, that is, it emits meaningful white light, which is the power of convergence; Then from point to surface, it gradually condenses into blocks, one by one, from outside to inside, and slowly gathers; If you follow it, you will gather and disperse, which is difficult to decide; For example, ignorance finally turned into a piece without fluctuation, so the truth gathered and we entered a great peace.

Just because sex shows itself, sightseeing means knowing the gathering and dispersion of arrogance. Light is scattered, light is gathered, light is fixed, light is full, and light is round. When the founder of Wang Zhongyang described its shape at the beginning, he said, "It is round and full of light." Circle means that it has no irregular shape, and burning means that it has no black hole, thus reaching the highest state of "sexual light *" and entering this state, both life and death can be achieved. However, it is impossible to achieve high merit without going deep into big decisions.

The kung fu of sightseeing, although using "observation" instead of actual observation, is natural. To cultivate this skill, we must step by step, from small light to large light, from weak to light intensity, from fluctuation to light, from film to film. Some people practice for many days, their eyes are dark, they have never seen the light, and they cannot pursue it.

Note: As mentioned above, the ways of "listening" and "seeing". Although seemingly promising, it is actually inaction; Doing nothing. Although I listen to interest, I actually don't listen; Although it is called sightseeing, there is actually no scenery. Listen to interest-free interest and listen to nothing; Sightseeing is nothing without light. Interest-free is called real interest; Light without light is called true light. It's really quiet to realize this.

The method of "sightseeing" is also called "coming back to light" in ancient Taoist books; The method of listening to interest is also called "adjusting interest" in ancient Taoist books. Therefore, the meditation method mentioned in this paper was also called "the breathing method" by the ancients.

Qiu Zu's secret biography "Da Dan Zhi Zhi" discusses "returning light and adjusting breath" and says: "Dharma is to collect the heart from one corner of the eye, between the eyes, and collect the whole mind here. The same is true of the so-called "dry-Kunming joint land"

There is another meaning in the method of returning to the light. Even after sightseeing, you should put this light into Xiadantian and make gas refining. This needs to be combined with the second step of the earth-building method-breathing, and then discussed in the breathing method.

Fourth, the method of static work to stop thinking.

The key to static work lies in entering silence; The key to silence is to stop thinking. To stop thinking is to get rid of distractions in your heart and then do static work wholeheartedly. Often some people don't realize that there are distractions in their minds, but when they sit still, all the thoughts come. Only by stopping thinking and eliminating distractions through the method of static work can static work be done well.
