Fu Xili, a method of absorbing the weather, gradually evolved into a series of breathing techniques.

This is very important in practice, for example, in the "breath-holding method", after inhaling a full breath, it is closed, so that the inhaled "weather" and one's own "yin qi" have enough time to combine, and the "metamorphosis essence" will naturally increase.

There are also some methods, such as the Lingbao Bi method, which particularly emphasizes that the breath should be "more in and less out", leaving the qi in the body and transforming into essence. It is recorded in the brief that this is "gas and liquid are generated, and gas and liquid are generated". The liquid here should be the meaning of essence.

Then the concept of essence qi should be a state in which yang qi is concentrated and combined with yin qi, and it is a combination of yin and yang qi.

3. Essence is the foundation of human life activities

It is often said that the essence is the people, and the people are the combination of yin and yang.

This essence is the basis of the human body's vital activities, without essence, people will die, and when people die, they will have no essence.

Then there is no essence, often because of the "lack of yin", as long as the yin is still there, it can be combined with yang qi to produce essence. And Yang Qi is all over the space, and Yang Qi will not lose at any time in nature.

As long as a person has true yin, he can absorb yang energy and transform it into his own energy.

For example, something black can quickly absorb sunlight and convert it into heat.

Black is yin, sunlight is yang, as long as there is black, then sunlight can be absorbed.

Black is like a black hole that absorbs energy.

For example, when choosing a robe, in order to look thinner, many people will choose a black robe, because when a black robe is worn on the body, it is thin.

The black color itself is astringent and will look a little smaller than normal. The red ones are the opposite, and the red ones look a little bigger than normal.

For the same person, the red one looks larger than the black one.

So, what is the best thing to replenish yin? It is black things, rehman, black sesame seeds, black beans, these black things, these black things, yin supplementation is the best.

There is an example, Fu Xili's distant relative has been in a coma for a long time and is about to die, and the example of using the medicine of Jin Kui Kidney Qi to stick to the navel and recover should be understood.

At that time, the patient was because there was no yin, and naturally there was no essence.

But his breathing has not been broken, and the yang energy can still be inhaled, but he can't hold it.

Then hurry up and replenish the yin, so that this yin can retain the yang energy that is absorbed and transform it into essence.

Essence is oil, and if there is essence, the heart will not stop, so this is the continuation of life, and the continuation of life.

Under normal circumstances, when the elderly reach the last moment of their lives, they are exhausted by yin, not by yang deficiency.

Young people are different, and there may be other reasons for sudden death in young people, while in the elderly, it is basically exhausted, and there is no true yin.

Fourth, how to enhance one's own spirit?

Since essence is so important to the human body. So how do you strengthen your own essence? In other words, how can you accumulate the essence of the human body?

The monastic summed up three points:

The first is "Xingqi", which is a simple technique of practicing Qi, that is, a method of practicing Yang Qi, such as Qigong, which belongs to kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is exercise, so the state of exercise corresponds to the state of yang energy, so you can "inspire yang energy" into the body, and you can quickly enhance your own yang energy.

Therefore, according to the internal scriptures, move and nourish yang.

Here is another principle mentioned in practice, which is corresponding.

Corresponding, that is, keeping the same pace, what state you correspond to, you can inspire what energy. In the same way, if the heart is right, it will not induce evil spirits, and some people will be inspired to possess the body, that is, the psychology of these people corresponds to those possessions.

Some people often ask how to completely get rid of possession, so change the mentality, get rid of greed and hatred, and don't mix with those evil spirits.

The so-called Xingqi is also the method of cultivating Yang Qi.

However, practicing this alone may not be able to enhance one's own essence, because these methods do not have the "technique of cultivating yin", and even if they obtain strong yang energy, they may not be able to store it.

In view of this, it is the second rule, that is, to take the food that grows on the ground and belongs to yin, such as black sesame, rehman, tiandong, He Shou Wu, etc., to conserve this yang energy, and the Taoist medicine's nine steamed and nine tanned sesame seeds have a good effect on cultivating yang energy.

Otherwise, the yang energy is only strong, and there is no yin to store and store, which will rush upward, causing the yang energy in the head to be strong and the yang energy in the lower body to be insufficient.

If the head pressure is too high, it is easy to have a stroke, and the lower limbs are prone to weakness and weakness, and even hemiplegia, and they have to sit in bed for a lifetime.

There are many athletes and martial artists who have reached old age and have bad legs and feet, which may be neglecting this point of taking food, practicing kung fu very well, but not storing energy.

In this kind of exercise, the more vigorous the yang energy, the easier it is for the qi to rush upward, and the more likely it is to have problems.

Some people practice and have problems all the time, and in the end, their body is not as good as ordinary people, that is, they have not mastered this "food".

In the past, there were also people who came to recuperate, speaking of which, they have practiced soft boxing for many years, but they always feel weak in their waist and legs, and they are bloated and have poor digestion.

The diagnosis of the pulse found that the kidney pulse was very weak, and directly used the prescription of "nourishing kidney yin", and the abdominal distension disappeared immediately after eating, and the waist and legs were much stronger.

Then the kidney pulse is weak, indicating that the kidney yin is deficient, and the yang energy cannot be stored, after practicing boxing, the yang energy is vigorous, and the power of rising and diverging is also enhanced, and the qi rushes upward, which will push up the stomach, thus causing the things in the stomach to not go down, so it will be blocked in the stomach, slowly fermented, and gas will be produced, and there will be stomach distention.

There are also people who have been practicing boxing because of poor health.

But sometimes I have a fever when I practice boxing, and I feel inexplicable, and finally I come to see a doctor, and then I diagnose the pulse is also yin deficiency.

Then after practicing boxing, the yang energy is enhanced, the yang energy is enhanced, and the power of the heart fire is strong, but the power of the kidney water is insufficient, but the yin deficiency cannot be combined with the yang energy, the yang energy is strong, the yin and yang are unbalanced, and the yang victory is hot, which causes fever.

Plateau, the altitude is relatively high, such a place, the air is relatively thin, thin means can not condense, then this is the lack of yin.

On the plateau, the strength of the human body to converge and store will also be insufficient, and the divergent force will be strong, and dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting will occur, which is likely to be related to this yin and yang imbalance.

Then some people point out that people who are usually in better health are more likely to have altitude sickness, while people who are in poor health are very mild in altitude sickness.

So the better the body mentioned here, it should be that the yang energy is very strong, and the vitality is full on weekdays, so when this kind of person reaches the plateau, the power of the yang energy rises and diverges more vigorously, and the "yin" can't contain this yang energy, and there will be problems.

Qi goes up, can't go down, the pressure on the head is too high, there will be headache and dizziness, the power of convergence is insufficient, the force to the outside is too strong, then the heart must also fight the blood outward, but it can't be recovered, the power of recovery is insufficient, then the blood pressure must rise.

This qi will also cause the stomach qi to not be able to fall, and the stomach qi will be reversed, so the contents of the stomach will vomit out.

Usually the health is not good, then the yang energy is insufficient, and it can't rise in the first place, so when it comes to the plateau, it won't diverge too much, so the reaction will not be so big.

There was a man who had been to the plateau once before, and he had been lying there for a few days, unable to move at all, and when the others returned, he also came back with him.

Later, I went again, and when I went, I immediately lay down again, and I had altitude sickness again.

A Taoist suggested that he get some medicine to nourish yin to eat, but he didn't listen, so he lay down and rested there like last time, and it was not clear whether he was better or not.

On the other hand, the plateau air is thin, the oxygen is insufficient, the divergent force is too strong, the oxygen can not gather together, the density is not enough, and the body will also have a lack of oxygen.

However, if your own "yin" is still insufficient, and you can't store oxygen after inhaling it, then once you don't inhale oxygen, you will still be uncomfortable immediately.

In this case, you should be able to use something that complements yin and yang, use astragalus or ginseng to replenish qi, and then use Jinkui kidney qi or wheat flavor rehmannia medicine to help you converge it, which should be alleviated.

Then the third point, to enhance one's own "essence", another point is to pay attention to abstinence, to open source and reduce expenditure, not to lose essence needlessly.

The Taoist said that this point should also be paid attention to in sexual affairs, because if you have too much sexual intercourse, you will inevitably lose your own essence.

In the "Neijing", it is said that this essence and bone marrow are connected, and if the essence is too bad, then the bone marrow has no energy, and the waist and knees are sore, and this soreness comes out of the bones.

The cerebral marrow is also bone marrow, which will also cause insufficient cerebral medullary energy, so there will also be a feeling of malaise, drowsiness, and trance.

5. Breathing technique to enhance essence

Some people also ask whether deep inhalation and shallow exhalation is a way to enhance essence, this is a method, this is a method of qi, and it belongs to the technique of breathing.

This method is very good for improving fatigue, if you are very tired, then sit down, follow this method, inhale more and exhale less, and try to keep this qi in your body.

At this time, the air pressure in the lungs will be higher than usual, because the lungs are connected to the meridians of the whole body, so this pressure will transport the absorbed yang qi to other meridians and viscera, and when combined with their own yin qi, it will be converted into "essence qi", so the lost energy will soon recover.

After doing this for a quarter of an hour, and then you open your eyes, you will find that your eyes are much brighter and your reactions are much more sensitive.

The key to this breathing technique is to be able to retain the qi, and the essence here is also the acquired essence, which can only be used by the human body for biochemical use, and the consciousness of ordinary people cannot command this qi, only after special cultivation, can slowly command this essence to do things.

There is another kind of breathing technique, which has not been taken seriously, that is, "inhale through your nose and exhale with your mouth."

Because the mouth is the earth, the nose is the sky, and this body is composed of the earth, so when the mouth exhales, the air pressure in the earth decreases.

When you inhale, use your nose to bring the air down from the sky, and when you encounter the earth where the air pressure drops, it will naturally enter the earth, which is a method of attracting the weather into the earth's qi.

The weather enters the earth's qi, that is, the earth, heaven, and Tai hexagrams, which will be very beneficial to the health of the body, this method is recorded in the ancient Jane, but there are relatively few people who practice with this method.

Therefore, many breathing methods, if viewed from the perspective of yin and yang of heaven and earth, are understandable. Each method reflects the wisdom of the ancients and has its own special effects.
