Chu said: "Master, when I was a child, I had an idea that people waste most of their time sleeping in their lives, if there is any way to use the time they sleep?" ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "Hehe, the master just thinks differently, and he is worthy of being Lu Zu's apprentice, and ordinary people will not think about it......

Chu said, "Hey! Besides, after I first said my idea, it aroused a lot of criticism, and everyone thought that there was something wrong with my brain! Okay, after a busy day during the day, I can't sleep and rest at night, how can I have this kind of thought! ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "How can there be a problem, the master is thinking about a very good thing!" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Your master is a Taoist person, and he is destined to have a relationship with the Tao, so he will think about things in this way, and when he sleeps, he can use his cultivation to practice, which is also Taoist thought......"

Jade hairpin smiled: "The ancestor taught us!" ”

Chu Chu smiled: "It's really fake, when I was a child, I had an idea that I needed to reverse day and night, people sleep during the day, and work and go to school at night." I don't dare to go out at night, I don't dare to show my head, I am not afraid when everyone is busy at night, and when everyone is resting during the day, people like me who don't like to sleep can do more, so that I feel that I can live for a lifetime! ”

Jade hairpin smiled: "Hahaha, master, you have such a powerful idea, live a lifetime longer......"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "A person spends half of his life in his bedroom, and there are Taoist hermits, who regard the "Black Sweet Township" as a hidden place, so they can't help but sleep in Samadhi. Weng Shiyun in the middle of the mountain: "The afternoon dream of the flower and bamboo window is long, and the world is temporarily forgotten." If the Huashan priest is allowed to see, he does not look for the fairy side to find the sleeping side", it can be seen that there is also a way to sleep. According to Taoist health preservation works, the sleeping place should not be close to the fire, not the wind, and not the open air. Before going to bed, you must do light exercises, rubbing your eyes, rubbing your face, rubbing your abdomen, brushing your teeth, rinsing your mouth, wetting your feet, combing your hair, and calming your mind to digest food before going to bed. Do not fall asleep drunk, sleep by candlelight, hang your feet, open your mouth, or turn your head, but let all your thoughts and plans be relieved, and sleep with a pure heart. Sleep on the abdomen (the Dan family wears a belly to protect the navel), protect the shoulders and neck, warm the feet and freeze the brain, lie on the right side after eating, and eat far away from the left and right. The elderly should take a nap, and the young should not sleep at noon. Because the elderly are weak, they sleep to nourish them, and they are less aphrodisiac, and they are dizzy and heavy in their daytime sleep. ”

Xuan Chu said: "Master, did you say that I had cultivated immortals in my previous life, so I didn't like to sleep in this life, so I wanted to use more time, but I didn't know what else to do when I fell asleep, so I was very confused and kept thinking about this thing?" ”

Zhong Liquan smiled: "Exactly, everything is a chance!" ”

Xuan Chu said, "Then you tell me about this practice?" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Zheng Xuan's "Yesterday Fei An Ri Compilation" in the Ming Dynasty recorded: ""Qianjin Fang", Yun 'half drunk, sleeping alone, soft pillow, warm and good for the feet, can rest the heart, self-meditation'. Cao Tingdong of the Qing Dynasty "Lao Lao Hengyan" cloud: "Foolishness is to sleep and have two methods." The operator, if he thinks about the top of his head, silently counts his snort, and returns to the dantian, etc., so that the heart has something, it is not chaotic, and it should be able to sleep. Indulgence, let their minds wander in the immesal area, or gradually enter the hazy realm. The most taboo person wants to sleep, and it is more difficult to sleep. The junction between waking up and sleeping is definitely not expected. But if you forget to sleep, the heart or indulgence will lead to the road of sleep. He also said, "Sitting and pretending to sleep, when you wake up, you will feel refreshed, and you will benefit more than lying on your pillow." However, there are those who can't sleep, but when they keep their mouths shut, close their eyes, and take their minds, and rest for a while, they are enough to sleep during the day, and they can also be sent to the sun. "That's how to fall asleep. Zhou Lujing's "Red Phoenix Pith" in the Ming Dynasty contains the "Twelve Sleeping Gong Diagrams of Huashan", which can be regarded as a kind of Neidan Gong Method, which is said to be taught by Chen Jian of Huashan High Road. ”

Xuan Chu: "Master, do you have any recipes for this sleeping skill?" ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The general recipe for his sleeping skills: "If a person who learns the Tao and cultivates the truth learns the secret of sleeping skills, when there is nothing to do during the day and night, or when the sun comes and goes, he sits upright, knocks his teeth thirty-six times, summons the gods in his body one by one, and then loosens his clothes and lies on his side. The trick is closed, the eyes are half hanging the curtain, the red dragon's head is against the palate, and the knees, one foot is closed, the ten fingers are like hooks, and the yin and yang return to the body, which is the outer sun and the moon. Then one hand pinched the sword to cover the door, the other hand pinched the sword to bend the humerus and pillow, with the eyes to the nose, the nose to the door, the teeth, open the door of heaven and close the door, the heart and eyes look inward, and the meeting is the inner sun and the moon. The exercises are like the luck of the deer, the fetus of the crane, and the breath of the turtle.

The lady's day and night have 13,500 breaths, and the qi travels 84,000 miles. Let the god of thought return to the original god, and the internal medicine also. The inside is the body, and the outside is for use. The body is combined with the inside, and the light is used to make the inside and outside together, so that the inside and outside are together, and it is the work of entering the Tao. At this point, the six thieves will be naturally eliminated, the five elements will naturally gather clusters, and the fire will naturally rise and fall, brewing the true liquid and watering the spiritual root. Therefore, it is said: 'Take a sip of Xuanqi, drink spring wine when you sleep, practice diligently in the morning and dusk, and the true yang will never leave'. After the work of sleeping, rubbing the heart when you get up, and rubbing your eyes twice, the mind and body are comfortable. ”

Xuan Chu said in amazement: "More than 10,000 breaths a day and night, 84,000 miles of luck, this is more powerful than the monkey's Jing Douyun, can go such a long way......"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "Hehe, so it is very good to use the Tao, "Life Gui Zhi Heng Ji" contains the Taoist "Five Dragons Pan Body Method", its trick cloud: "East head and sleep, side and lying, such as the dragon's pan, such as the dog's song, one hand bends the humerus pillow, one hand directly rubs the belly button, one foot stretches, one foot shrinks, not sleepy heart, first sleep eyes, to the void, keep quiet, the spirit naturally returns to the root, the breath is naturally nurtured, not pranayama and breath self-regulation, not subdued and self-subdued." This method is the Neidan family refining the sleeping demon, in order to achieve the realm of "sleeping with the gods and waiting for the survival of the news" in the "Participation and Contract", and "Zhuangzi" "its sleep is also worry-free, and its sleep is also dreamless". Although he falls asleep, he is still often sympathetic, and his heart is clear, and he leads the Yuan Shen to join forces with sleep. In this way, "the nature of the happy sect, the body that does not move, the truth of dreams, and the silence of hearing and thinking", its poem cloud: "The original god stays in the dantian at night, and the clouds are full of yellow courts and the moon is full of sky." Two mandarin ducks float in green water, and a purple golden lotus in the heart of the water. “

Chu said: "Is there any attention to the posture of sleeping? ”

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "The method of lying on your side does not have to be rigid. Lying on the back, called corpse sleep, Confucianism has the ring of sleeping without lying on the corpse, but Taoism is said to be "not a student, learn to die first", can do the work of the fetal zombie, and it is also the realm of immortals. The Dan family compares the human nose to the mountain peak of the face, and the nose column between the eyes is the "mountain root" (also known as "ancestral knot", "sex household", "Guanyin Hall", etc.). The root of the nasal column in the middle of the two nostrils is connected to the "Renzhong" acupoint, also known as the "mountain root", which is just at the junction of the breathing and exiting the root of the lower nose, which means that the mountain root of the nose mouth is called the "lock nose". ”
