"Nine Masters of Daozhuang" quoted Laozi as saying: "It is quiet and quiet, so it is also healthy." Although the static proposition of Laozi and Zhuangzi school is not negative, it still has some merits in health preservation. Because everything, feelings are transmitted to the heart, and the mind is constantly busy, and it is often in a state of movement and difficulty. If the mind is too restless and confused, it will inevitably disturb the zang-fu organs, consume qi and blood, even invite diseases, and even make people aging and shorten their life span. Therefore, the way to recuperate lies in the word "quiet". Therefore, Cao Tingdong, a health care practitioner in Qing Dynasty, emphasized "resting first".
If you want to make your mind quiet, the key is to make your mind "quiet and empty". "Su Wen's Theory of Ancient Innocence" says: "Nothing is indifferent, and the true qi follows, and God hides inside, and the disease is always safe?" "Heaven" means that there is no depression in it; "Light" means that there is nothing to pursue outside; Nothing is empty and static, which is true and natural. "Despair and nothingness" is actually the meaning of eliminating distractions, smoothing emotions, being calm and indifferent, and maintaining "rest".
Liu Hejian once said: "Disturbance leads to all diseases, while security leads to all diseases." Indeed, quietness is a good way to keep fit, which is conducive to preventing and treating diseases and promoting health. Su Wen is furious, saying: "When you are quiet, your muscles will be closed and rejected. Although there is a strong wind, it can harm people. " Keep your mind quiet and innocent, your will calm and smooth, your body full of vital energy and your muscles dense, even if you have strong evil spirits, you can't infringe on your body. On the other hand, if you are restless and restless, you may get rid of your illness. I wish you all the best. Therefore, Su Wen Bilun said, "Silence hides God, but impatience will die."
Quiet and refreshing is conducive to anti-aging, anti-aging and longevity. On Su Wenyin and Yang Yingxiang said: "Being indifferent to inaction, being happy, and wanting to stay in nothingness, life is endless, and there will be heaven and earth." A peaceful mind can play a role in resisting and prolonging life, because a person with a peaceful mind is increasingly enriched in essence and stronger in body; And those restless people will lose their essence day by day, and their bodies will inevitably age prematurely. The reason why the ancients emphasized that "quietness leads to longevity, and urgency leads to heaven" is because calmness leads to the coordination of qi in the five internal organs, which can prolong life.
Concentration is one of the important ways to keep quiet. From the perspective of health preservation, the spirit of God is noble and evil, and the thought of God is noble and evil. "Medical Banknotes Series" said: "Nourishing the heart leads to coagulation, coagulation leads to gas accumulation, and gas accumulation leads to completeness. If you are busy all day, you will get old easily. " Of course, this method of concentration and meditation is not ignorance, no desire, no ambition, not artificially suppressing one's own thoughts too much, and there is no idle emptiness of spiritual sustenance, so it is absolutely different from idle thoughts that eat all day and have no purpose. Devotion and peace of mind are not only conducive to work and study, but also can eliminate distractions and troubles, so that the body is in a normal physiological state. On the contrary, "if you think too much, it will be dangerous. If you think too much, you will be distracted. If you think too much, you will be in a daze. If you do too much, you will be tired." This is because the mind can't think indiscriminately, and God can't overuse it. If you think too much, it will hurt, and if you use too much, God will be tired.
Chinese medicine believes that the heart hides the spirit and the fire, and it has the ability to accept and deal with things. Once the mind is disturbed by foreign objects, the heart is easy to move, and the heart moves. If you think about it, you will be disturbed and lose your essence. For example, in "Nourishing the Heart and Skin Language", it is said: "The heart is fine, meaning to anger the horse. The heartbeat is fine, so it is a pillar. " It shows that caring for strengthening the body resistance is the premise and key to consolidating semen.
I once heard a story that two scholars scrambled for the exam. On the way, they met the funeral procession. When they saw the dark coffin passing by, a scholar immediately felt unlucky and unhappy. Another scholar thinks it is good luck, coffin, promotion and wealth. As a result, after the exam, the former champion fell out of Sun Shan, while the latter champion was on the list.
This story gives us an inspiration: the environment is made by heart. In fact, happiness is self-caused, and troubles are also self-caused. Whether a person is happy or depressed about a thing does not depend entirely on the objective environment. His own mentality often plays a vital role and has distinct subjectivity. Many things in the world are not good or bad in themselves. The reason why people have different moods is entirely because of the different ways of observation and thinking, which directly affects people's subjective emotions. If we observe and think from a different angle, we may be able to afford it and put it down, and we will get a happy mood and a happy life. Therefore, when something happens, you might as well learn from the open-minded scholars, find the bright side of life with the eyes of discovery, calm your mind and take pleasure in it.
