Chapter Two Hundred and Seven: Lian Jin Hua Qi
In the evening, Xia Jun had dinner at Sun Lutang's house, and consulted with Sun Lutang about Guan Yu's qi training, and Sun Lutang happily taught him the qi training method, which was not much different from what Chen Yingning said.
There is a cloud in the Danjing: "If the body does not move, it is said to refine the essence, if the heart does not move, it is said to refine the Qi, and if the mind does not move, it is said to refine the gods." ”
Martial artists only need to do not move their minds, that is, they don't think about anything, just listen to their own voices, which is also the method of stopping in Zhuangzi's heart fasting. In addition to the method of resting, Taoism also has the method of sitting and forgetting and keeping one, but it is generally believed that the method of stopping is the best.
In addition to stopping, combined with the method of breathing and breathing, it is sufficient.
Qi cultivation is only the first realm of cultivation, that is, the so-called refining and refining qi, if you insist on not moving your mind for a long time, and gradually evolve to your mind, you can enter the second realm - refining qi and transforming gods, and then refining gods and returning to emptiness.
Zhuang Ziyun: "Boast of breathing, spit out the old and accept the new...... It's just for longevity. It means to exhale turbid qi and incorporate the pure qi needed by the human body to help cultivate the true qi inside the human body, so as to achieve the purpose of cultivating the true qi and prolonging life.
At the beginning of life, within the twins, the umbilical cord is used to breathe with the birth mother. The Qi of the fetus leads to the Qi of the biological mother, the Qi of the biological mother leads to the Qi of space, and the Qi of space leads to the Qi of Taihe. At that time, there was no mouth and nose breathing, and the two pulses of Ren Du were connected, and there was no barrier, which was called "fetal breath". In October, the fetus is round, the split cell comes out, the umbilical cord is cut, and the orifice is closed. Its breathing is cut off from the mouth and nose and down to the tail, becoming an ordinary person's breathing.
Ordinary people's breath goes down with the throat and returns to the lungs, that is, Zhuangzi said that "the breath of all people is in the throat". Its breath is thick and floating, and its exhalation is long and its inhalation is short. From then on, the space Taihe Qi could not descend in the abdomen, and the innate ancestral Qi stored in the abdomen was called the innate Yuan Qi, "moving and healing" (Lao Tzu), but lost in space. Over time, there is too much loss of congenital Qi, the kidney pulse is deficient, the root cause is not solid, all diseases are born, and death.
This is what the Taoists say about qi gathering is born, qi disperses and dies, the essence and qi are interdependent, essence can be transformed into qi, and essence is divided into yang essence and yin essence, and yang essence is sperm, which can be converted with qi. Essence and qi are like water, and gods are like fish. God is divided into the original god and the god of knowledge, the god is unconscious, when he is an infant, the god is in power, the god of knowledge is the ability to think, and when people grow up, they are gradually ruled by the god of knowledge. The difference lies in whether or not there is no thought. If God is sufficient, then man's wisdom will increase, and his insight, understanding, and so on will increase.
The method of breathing and breathing is also known as abdominal breathing, in which the lower abdomen is inhaled and the air is inhaled into the lower abdomen. At the same time, the tongue on top of the palate, where the Tianchi acupoint is located, will 'leak', so it must be resisted, and at the same time, there will be fluid left, which is a good thing.
"Lao Tzu" said: "Heaven and earth are united, so as to rain nectar." "Sweet and cool liquid naturally grows in the mouth. This liquid is born from refining qi, and it has a great tonic effect compared to saliva. When the mouth is full, send it to the throat, lead the neck to swallow it, gurgling sound, and can also help to calm down. Jin liquid is the treasure of human health, cover when can turn Qi, moisten the body, called "refining Jin Hua Qi", the main Qi of the lungs belongs to gold, gold can produce water, water is the main essence of the kidney, and it is also a method of making sperm. With the growth of cultivation kung fu, the jin liquid has become more and more luscious, if it is not a person of cultivation, who can know. Lu Zu was known as "longevity wine", and said: "Drinking longevity wine, who knows?" ”
For Chinese, very few diseases can not be cured, as long as they are willing to study and practice hard, through the practice of qi can cure the disease, and the wise Chinese medicine is the best at this, sometimes the disease encountered by Chinese medicine is incurable, then it is necessary to let the patient practice qi to heal, because the human body is very fierce, as long as the behavior is lawful, there are very few can not be cured, "Lao Tzu" and "Zhuangzi" are human behavior textbooks.
However, there are many sects in the world that practice qi, which dazzles beginners, but in fact, the method of cultivation is not so complicated.
The life and death of a person, in Taoist theory, is nothing more than the income and expenditure of essence, people have seven emotions and six desires, these are consuming 'qi', income is only so much, excessive expenditure, naturally is full of diseases.
As long as you eat and drink sparingly, live regularly, and have both income and expenses, you can use them properly. Governing the body is like governing the family, we must pay attention to diligence and thrift, diligence can enter more, and thrift can go out less, which is also the way to strengthen the body of a rich family.
The method of practicing qi is very important to Xia Jun, because at present, China is taking the route of free medical care, and if a person is full of energy, he will basically not get any diseases.
As far as Qi training is concerned, in fact, it is best to popularize this kind of thing as a course, no more, half an hour a day, and then teach the key to life and death clearly, so that students can pay attention to diligence and thrift in their daily life, and it is very easy to live to the age of ten.
If there are fewer people who get sick, medical expenses will be saved, and the health of the people will also improve.
Taoism has a complete system, and Chinese medicine also has a complete system, and compared with Western medicine, in fact, Chinese medicine is more like medicine, while Western medicine is piled up with biology, physics, chemistry, etc., which belongs to the level of headache medicine and head and foot pain, while Chinese medicine pays attention to the system, and the interrelationship between all aspects is very clear. For example, sometimes there is a problem with one organ, and Chinese medicine can cure the problem by improving another organ.
China in later generations, in fact, is a headache doctor who treats his head and feet, picks up materials and loses China's traditional culture, and the superior surname of traditional culture is naturally known to those old men, but why don't they promote it? That is the lack of strategic surname, and the strategic aspect appears to be very confusing. In later generations, the Tao Te Ching became the most widely published classic book in addition to the Bible.
Xia Jun at this time is to raise the national culture to the strategic height to develop, after listening to Sun Lutang's detailed method of practicing qi, Xia Jun plans to try to practice qi at Sun Lutang's house at night.
After dinner, Xia Jun began his first qi practice under the guidance of Sun Lutang.
He was originally a solid materialist believer, but what he saw after reaching this height made his materialism collapse with a bang, and then he realized how dazzling China's traditional culture was, and the materialism of Westerners seemed really ridiculous in some aspects, and it could also be seen that Westerners were extremely lacking in inner aspects.
Westerners trust their own eyes more, while the Chinese discovered Zhili a long time ago, which is why ancient China could create more abundant materials than Westerners.
In fact, it was not the spiritual civilization that was wrong, but that the Manchu Qing was too corrupt and was swept away by the foreign powers.
The first time he practiced qi, Xia Jun just listened to the breath and used the abdominal breathing method to exhale, so as to achieve the level of immobility of the body and the mind, but not yet to the level of immobility (what is the difference between the mind and the mind?). The result of Xiao Cai's personal experience is that the mind does not move, and the mind is concentrated on listening to the breath, but the mind is still there, which is not a state of complete self-forgetfulness).
Xia Jun did not go sightseeing, but when Xia Jun sat down for less than two minutes, as he breathed, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of him, which is what the Taoist called divine light, that is, the entrance to the hall, is the concept discovered by Zhang Ziyang and Bai Yuchan (a contemporary of Zhu Xi, who also practiced with Zhu Xi in the Wuyi Mountain area of northern Fujian) (Wang Chongyang's lineage is the Northern Sect, and the two sects in the north and south have seven real people each), which is widely quoted by various factions.
As Xia Jun breathed, Xia Jun only felt that his abdomen was hot, and at the same time, his intestines were moving frequently, and he farted again and again in less than a moment.
These phenomena attracted Xia Jun's attention, but Xia Jun immediately realized that this was wrong, and quickly focused his attention on listening to his breathing, and his thoughts were stopped by him as soon as he thought about it.
It was about ten minutes, and Xia Jun's mouth was full of liquid, so Xia Jun swallowed it all and swallowed it.
Then the heat in the stomach became a little greater, and then it seemed easier to calm down.
Xia Jun felt that he had entered a wonderful state, and the method of practicing qi was effective, so he insisted on continuing to practice, and after practicing for a few hours, Xia Jun felt that his body was a little stiff, so he quickly stretched his legs and moved, and then got out of bed to move.
After the event, Xia Jun lay on the bed and continued to practice.
Qi can be practiced standing, walking, sitting, or lying down.
It is better to lie on your side to practice lying down, with one arm on the pillow, then the head resting on the arm, and the other hand on the dantian. The feet are straight and the other is bent, and if the headrest is left hand, the left foot is straight.
This is the so-called 'learn the Tao without learning the Tao, learn to sleep with a dog'.
There are also people who turn to sleep exercises, and the effect of sleeping is better than spitting, but Xia Jun did not sleep, but continued to spitting in a sideways position, he didn't know what the effect of sleep was, but the effect of spitting was good, so let's continue!
Practicing and practicing, Xia Jun fell asleep...... Xia Jun woke up early the next morning, stretched out his hand to see that it was five o'clock, Sun Lutang told him, at this time people generally wake up, but usually people close their eyes and continue to sleep, if they can get up at this time, after sleeping, the brain is in a relatively pure state, and the effect of practicing qi is particularly good.
Xia Jun rolled up directly from the bed, sat up and continued to practice qi.
If you want to say that there are emperors who cultivate truth in history, then Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is a typical emperor who was made to think about the government by the Inner Dan technique.
Although Xia Jun also practiced, he felt that governing the country well was more important than cultivating.
Although Emperor Jiajing was relatively extravagant, he also lived to be 59 years old, which was considered a very long life among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, which was obviously related to his cultivation of the Inner Dan Technique.
In addition, Emperor Jiajing is an emperor who likes to give himself the title of Dao, and the title he gave himself is: Lingxiao Shangqing Tong Lei Yuanyang Miao Yifei Xuan Zhenjun, Jiutian Hongjiao Puji Shenglingzhang Yin Yang Gong Dao Siren Ziji Immortal Weng Yiyang Zhenren Yuan Xuan Ying Kaihua Fu Demon Loyal Filial Emperor Jun, Heavenly Daluo Tianxian Ziji Immortal Shengzhi Zhao Lingtong Yuan Zheng Ying Yuxu General Palm Five Thunder Dazhen Zhenren Xuandu Realm Wanshou Emperor.
In addition, during the Song and Song dynasties, the emperor also paid great attention to Taoism, and often carried out posthumous sealing and other behaviors on some real people who had ascended, and the emperor himself would practice these things.
