Chapter 50: The Essentials of Meditation

It was a new day, and before dawn, Lin Bin was shouted by his senior brother Chen Guangji. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After quickly putting on the white loose practice clothes, he walked out behind Chen Guangji.

When he walked out, he saw that there were already many people in the courtyard. After everyone arrived. A senior brother walked out of the courtyard with everyone. Then head up the hill.

After everyone quickly arrived at the mountain, they saw a small slope, and the name of the slope was Feiyun Slope. There is an artificially constructed wooden platform on the slope. When everybody is in this winter. After standing on the platform, blow the mountain road. Standing on the platform and looking down, you can faintly see the trees in the distance, blocked by the thick fog. Lin Bin's gaze couldn't penetrate the scenery below the mountain.

Just as Lin Bin continued to observe, he heard that the senior brother who led the team began to take everyone and did it cross-legged. In fact, yesterday when Senior Brother Chen Guangji explained his knowledge to Lin Bin. It was mentioned to him about cross-legged meditation.

From the senior brother, Lin Bin learned that this cross-legged also has a saying. There are three types of cross-legged legs: single disc, double disc, and five hearts facing the sky. Because he was a beginner, after seeing all the people do it, he also sat down cross-legged. Because Lin Bin is a beginner with two ways of cross-legged and unintentionally facing the sky, there is a high degree of difficulty. As a last resort, he made it in a single way.

But after Lin Bin did it, he felt so uncomfortable. His body was a little crooked, and his performance was all seen by the senior brother who led the team. At this time, the senior brother who led the team spoke: "Senior Brother Guangji, you guide the junior brother to meditate. ”

Senior brother Chen Guangji answered, and then came to Lin Bin's side and said to him, "Senior brother, let me first tell you about the orientation of our meditation. When meditating, face due east or south. After I finished talking about the orientation of meditation, I will tell you the essentials of doing the exercises: First of all, I mentioned to you yesterday about the leg twist. Then he moved Lin Bin's leg with his hand. That's right, that's it, it's a single handicap. ”

Then, Senior Brother Chen Guangji sat down directly with Lin Bin face to face and demonstrated to him various leg coiling techniques.

After seeing Senior Brother's demonstration, Lin Bin stared at Chen Guangji deadly. Listen to what he has to say. Chen Guangji continued: "I just briefly explained to my junior brother the way to cross his legs and face the problem. Next, Senior Brother will give you a systematic introduction to meditation kung fu. First of all, junior brother, you have to understand the key to meditation, and the key to doing gong is to sit cross-legged, divide yin and yang with your feet, pinch the meridian with your hands, hang the curtain with your eyes, look at your nose, and look at your nose and heart. Close the mouth and hide the tongue, the tongue is on top of the palate, the breath is soft, and the dantian is slightly lowered. The mind and mind keep the ancestral know-how, and the three flowers gather at the top of the autumn moon. Lower seat, iron your eyes, and rub your body up and down. Stretch out your arms and long waist to relax your muscles, and move with a yang appearance. “

Hearing that Senior Brother said so many essentials, Lin Bin was confused and asked, "Senior Brother, I don't understand you saying so much in one breath!"

"Don't worry, junior brother. Next, senior brother, I will explain them to you one by one. This meditation allows you to keep in touch often even if you are not in the mountains, when you get home later. Regular contact with meditation on your body's respiratory system also relieves fatigue and increases memory. as well as cardiovascular, microcirculation in the body are beneficial. The most important benefits are in addition to the physical ones. That is, you meditate regularly and get used to it. Later in life, it can bring all kinds of benefits in every aspect of your life. For example, in terms of how you behave in the world. Especially when you encounter a crisis, the long-term meditation will play a very important role. It can be that you are calm and not impatient. Handle anything in the future. “

After hearing so many benefits mentioned by Senior Brother, Lin Bin couldn't hold back for a while, and asked impatiently: "Senior Brother, hurry up and explain to me the essentials of meditation, I'm good at practicing." ”

After hearing Lin Bin's words, Senior Brother said happily: "Okay." I'm going to start explaining to you the meaning of meditation essentials now. “

"Sitting cross-legged, the so-called upright sitting, is the upper body is natural and upright, not leaning forward and backward, Baihui and perineum form a vertical line, but be sure to relax naturally. It is necessary to know that if you are loose, your qi will be smooth and your meridians will be smooth, and if you are stiff, your qi will be stagnant and your blood will be hindered. Only when the whole body is relaxed inside and outside can the conditions be created for meditation. ”

After the senior brother finished speaking, he sat cross-legged and continued to show him with his hands: "The feet are divided into yin and yang: when the knee is crossed, the left foot belongs to the yang outside, and the right foot belongs to the yin, which is the yang and the yin. ”

After seeing Lin Bin nodded, senior brother Chen Guangji continued to explain: "The hand pinching meridian refers to: the left thumb pinching the middle finger of the left hand at noon, the right thumb into the left hand to pinch the root of the left ring finger, and holding the lower abdomen with both hands, which is yin and yang. ”

While explaining the key to Lin Bin, the senior brother did not forget to demonstrate in person, so that he could really understand it quickly.

"The two-eye curtain refers to the fact that the two eyes seem to be closed but not closed, and the tip of the nose is slightly opened, which seems to be the same eye. If it is closed, it will be dim, and if it is too light, it will be outward. You have to grasp this degree. Let's go on to say, the eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart: the two eyes hang the curtain, the eyes look at the tip of the nose, and the god is fixed.

Then the senior brother spoke again. Close the mouth and hide the tongue, the top of the tongue and the palate: the upper palate is the Tianchi acupoint, in the inner inch, the inch-inch-indent, when the mouth recites the word "er", the tip of the tongue touches the part. The closed heaven pool, on the one hand, is to open the Xuanying (Xuanying acupoint is behind the skillful tongue), so that the true breath can flow unimpeded, and on the other hand, it is to close the mouth to avoid hurting the true qi. In addition, there are two acupuncture points under the root of the tongue, the left is the golden well, the right is the stone spring, and it is easy to give birth to the heavenly pond when closed. Meditation often fills the mouth with a clear and sweet feeling, and at this time, the swallowing method is applied to swallow the liquid into the abdomen. ”

After listening to what the senior brother said so much, Lin Bin found that the other senior brothers around him had been sitting for a while. But it seems that the senior brother has not finished speaking, and there is no way, so he can only continue to listen to the senior brother patiently.

"Breathing continuously, slightly descending dantian refers to: regulating breathing, also known as pranayama, is an important part of the initial meditation. Close your mouth when exerting your strength, breathe through your nose, and require deep, thin, long and even. Whether it is a forward breath or a reverse breath, it is required to breathe in the abdomen, so that it can be deep. The so-called thin, that is, you can't even hear the sound of breathing. Long, is to stretch the breath, to rest back to the roots, descend the dantian, do not hold your breath, to relax naturally. Even, fast and slow, we must rely on each other, not that is, not separate, to achieve self-adjustment without breath. Even, to the extreme, keep quiet, there will be a pause in breathing.

The mind and mind to guard the ancestral know-how refers to: the ancestral know-how, in the center of the second eye, is a knack that is not contained in the past scriptures and kept secret by the ancestors of the past dynasties. The three flowers gather at the top of the autumn moon and the full moon refers to: the three flowers are the essence flowers, the Qi flowers, and the divine flowers. Only when the spirit of the spirit cultivates the feet, there is the phenomenon of three flowers gathering on the top of the autumn moon.

Next, the senior brother quickly rubbed his whole body up and down, stretched his arms, long waist, and relaxed his muscles, and explained and demonstrated the meaning of the keys to Lin Bin one by one.

After the senior brother had finished explaining and demonstrating the key to meditation, the other senior brothers on the platform had already finished their morning exercises. Tai Chi was played on the platform. Seeing the movements of the senior brothers, they moved quickly and slowly. Lin Bin was very envious and couldn't help but sigh: "When will my kung fu reach this kind of heat." ”
