Xuan Chu said: "So we usually sleep on our backs to the sky, which is simply the sleeping method of corpses? If you can't sleep, what about that? ”

"But just now the master said that people learn to die before they die, and if they have the fetal breath of stiffness, it is powerful? Isn't there a saying now, if you don't sleep on the corpse, you can't lie on the head? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Hehe, let's first understand the first half of the sentence, what is called "sleeping without a corpse"? It is very easy to understand literally, that is, when we sleep, we must not lie down like a deceased person. And in today's scientific research, it is also said that if there is such a sleeping position, and the arms are placed on your x mouth and stomach, it will cause discomfort and even nightmares. On top of that, falling asleep on your back can induce sleep apnea and even drool into your trachea. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for the ancients to compare "horizontal corpses" to sleeping on their backs. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Since it is an ancient saying, where does it come from? ”

Zhong Liquan said: "This sentence, it comes from "The Analects of the Township Party", the original words are "sleeping without corpses". The word "corpse" in this sentence does not refer to a corpse, but to a person lying face to the sky like a dead person. In other words, sleeping on your back, from the point of view of the ancients, is like a horizontal corpse, which is very unhealthy and has an unlucky connotation. ”

Xuan Chu said: "What does it mean to lie down and not cover your head? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "And the meaning of "lying down without covering your head" literally means that you should not sleep with your head covered when you sleep, and this sentence originates from "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions". The original text says: "If you don't cover your head in a winter night, you will live a long life." The head is the meeting of the suns, the place where the yang meridians of the body converge, and the qi and blood run vigorously. Overturning the head, on the one hand, it is easy to affect the flow of qi and blood, and on the other hand, it may cause sweating in the head and relax the intestines, thus allowing the disease to take advantage of the void. What's more, from the perspective of modern medicine, lying on the head can affect people's breathing and thus prevent them from getting high-quality sleep. Therefore, the statement of lying down without turning the head is also very reasonable. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Why can't sleep north?

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The second half of the sentence "sleep does not face north" should be literally understandable, that is, when we sleep, we must not turn our heads to the north, what is the mystery in this?" This sentence is actually from "Lao Lao Hengyan". The original text says: "Don't lie in the north, it is said to avoid yin." "The Daughter's Recipe" also says: "Don't lie north of your head, and don't make a bed north of the wall." As early as in the ancient countryside, especially in winter, most of the houses in the countryside are relatively cold, and the north wind blows up is also quite cold, the head becomes the meeting of the suns in traditional Chinese medicine, when sleeping to the north and lying, when the cold wind blows, it is easy to be disturbed by the yin qi, if it is facing the north at night, the head obviously can not stand such a cold, it is easy to form a wind chill headache, and even affect the flow of qi and blood in the whole body. We should have a better understanding of people's sleeping habits in ancient times, and I hope that after you understand these common sense, you must develop good sleeping habits, pay attention not to lie down to sleep so as not to oppress the heart, do not fall asleep and are easy to breathe, try not to eat food before going to bed, and sleep without words, and it is best not to sleep with the light on in the bedroom. ”

Xuan Chu said: "It's really a lot to pay attention to sleeping, so let's continue to talk about which sleep skill, right?" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Paying attention to the root of this nose, the heart is interdependent, and the feeling of locking the breath seems to move it to the navel, gradually falling into chaos, and the true breath is leisurely and falling asleep, which is the "nose locking technique". Lu Zu Shiyun: "The high pillow ends in the south and the south is empty, and the sleeping fairy often lies in the white clouds." The dream soul is dark into the yin, yang, and knots, and the breath is submerged to perform the creation and transformation skills. Who knows the true trick to hide chaos, and the Taoist must first learn to be deaf. Huashan Shishi left mian law, and now he is awake to the public. ”

Xuan Chu said: "This skill, why haven't you heard of it, and you still sleep fairy......"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "According to the legend of Zhang Sanfeng's "Dragon Law", "Zhou Yi, Sui, Xiang Biography" cloud: "The gentleman is to feast in obscurity." It is not said that "to the obscure feast" but "into the feast", the beauty lies in the word "in", and "in" is the sleeping method. With the god into the Qi acupoint, sitting and lying have sleeping skills, why bother to sleep with a stone on the high! Today, the world's Huashan Chen Tuo's "Dragon Method" sleep gong recipe is recorded at the back to see the true meaning of Taoist sleep work:

The dragon returns to the Yuan Sea, and Yang dives in Yin. People say that they sting the dragon, but I sting. Hidden its use, breathe deeply. The white clouds lie high, and there is no sound in the world.

Therefore, "Mozi" emphasizes: contentment is not humiliating, and knowledge is not destroyed. The content of the stop is tangible, and the "University" refines the content of the stop: "To be a king, stop at people; To be a minister, stop at respect; As a son of man, he ends in filial piety; To be a father is to be kind; Friendship with the people of the country ends with faith. The sages earnestly admonished: there is a degree of harmony and stopping. "Knowing and then there is certainty, and then being quiet can be quiet, and then being quiet and then being able to be peaceful, and then thinking and then being able to get it." Contentment and knowledge can make people have a rational state of mind, enlighten wisdom, get rid of disasters, and ultimately enable people to have a satisfying life. ”

Xuan Chu said: "It turns out that Zhang Sanfeng has also practiced, and he can indeed ......"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Disciple, there is more calmness in fame and fortune, and there is more calmness in advance and retreat." To know the stop, we must first quit greed, and first we must control our desires. Greed is a bottomless pit, and greed leads people step by step to the region and to the abyss of sin. Therefore, "Zengguang Xianwen" prescribes: "Contentment is always content, and life is not disgraced; Knowing what is always stopping, and being shameless for life. "Contentment and knowledge are the way to be invincible for a long time. Only by "knowing" can we end with "gain". ”

Xuan Chu said: "The knowledge emphasized by the sages is to prevent reckless behavior. The sages asked people to play their part in their place. Contentment is the firewall of non-reckless action, and not reckless action is the red line of life and the ultimate goal of stopping. Life has a responsibility in the world, do what should be done, and do what can be done. Life is like a new mandarin duck butterfly dream, but knowing more, knowing less, being more content, asking for more, and putting a heavy shackle on yourself; Contentment can make you better taste the joy of life. ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Everyone loves to read the "Qingjing Sutra", just because there is Qingjing." Heart disease should also be cured, read the scriptures and enlighten the Tao, and sincerely hope that the "Qingjing Sutra" can bring peace of mind to more impetuous people, spread positive energy and add a harmony to the society. ”

Xuan Chu said: "The prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and when his heart is big, things will naturally be small." Look down on fame and fortune, clear the weeds in your heart, quit greed, and let your heart have more space. Keep in mind your original intention, adjust your life trajectory, correct deviations and mistakes in time, do not evade when encountering things, dare to accept, and have the courage to face the attitude of life. May you, me, him, each of us have a big heart. ”
