Chapter 310: The Last Dream
Yingsheng summoned a hurricane, the wind was blowing strongly, although it could blow extremely strong winds, but it only made the fog roll and move, and did not dissipate a little. "It seems that although your combat power is strong, it is still difficult to break the formation of the White Demon Emperor with Xunfeng. "Feng Tai and Dao. Yingsheng smiled: "My main energy is spent on cultivating Jinglun Hand and Ziqing Sword Qi, how can I waste any spare time on these spells that attract wind and thunder?" "This is also true, with Jinglun Hand, you don't care about the Five Elements Dao Technique at all, how can you do things that put the cart before the horse." Now in this predicament, I am afraid that only the holy immortals who are good at Xunfeng can break through the fog and lose the platform. "Fairy Lingyao said regretfully.
The blind fairy's consciousness sank into a sleep from which he could not extricate himself. Saints dream, aren't saints not dreaming? To be precise, the blind fairy is a quasi-saint. The sage wrote on the ancient Jane: "The sage has no dreams". How should it be understood, is it that the saint does not dream at night? The saint has no dream, which does not mean that the saint does not dream at night, but that the saint does not want what is not in reality, and the saint does not go further than the existence of reality. He doesn't want things, he doesn't look forward to them, he doesn't want to live in fantasy, he doesn't want to be realistic, he doesn't want to live in fantasy, but what he should do and what he can do. Love what you are, this is what it means for a saint to have no dreams.
The saint lives in complete contentment, and his heart no longer stretches out a step into nothingness except what he has in front of him. The saint has no hope, no desire, his eyes stop at what he sees, his ears stop at what he hears, and his nose stops at what he hears. He is a person who has no "hope", he is a "lazy" person, he is a person who does not belong to the mind and does not follow the path of the mind. As the saying goes, "to the extreme, to keep quiet", that's what it means. For the sake of learning day by day, for the Tao day by day, this is the precept of the saints.
Because the saint has a pure heart and cleans his underground world, of course, the saint cannot dream at night. Night is a reflection of day, because the saint is quiet during the day, and therefore he dreams very little at night. Day and night are the same, and you live in a dream no matter what. The saint loves all his dreams, he sees all "seeing" as the same, and he does not distinguish between dreams and non-dreams, because for him everything is a dream.
The saint lives in a lucid dream, walking, living, sitting, lying, living, dying, and he is completely awake in his dream. The dream flowed through him, in all its forms, like a river flowing through a tree on its shore, and he was forever settled in it. He exists in the Dharmakaya, he lives in the world of Nirvana, and his life is "where he comes from nowhere, and where he goes." He doesn't need to understand things, he is what he wants to understand. Because of "selflessness", he exists as all things. Because the heart has no fixed identity, he flies freely in the universe. Every day, he is with hundreds of billions of incarnations of himself, on an equal footing, and he enjoys the infinite dreams of life.
The saint has no dreams, he has the most abundant dreams. He has so many dreams that he is always watching his dreams. A saint is a person who can see dreams. He watched his dreams rise and fall, just as he watched spring and autumn come and go. The saint lives in his own season, and his dreams create his season. The saint rejoices in his dreams and never frightens him, and the saint is a person who never has nightmares again. He is a man who only has good dreams and never has nightmares again. In and out of dreams, sleeping and waking up in dreams, the saint is a person who is able to enjoy his joyful dreams. He is a waking dreamer, and he has never lost himself.
This is the "ancient real person, his consciousness forgets, and he does not dream".
The blind immortal temporarily lost his cultivation and ushered in a true dream, thinking of the stump when he was a teenager, which was a dream of memories.
Standing piles are an ancient health preservation technique with a long history, but due to the lack of literature, it is impossible to verify when it originated. However, in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", there is a record of "lifting heaven and earth, grasping yin and yang, exhaling ** breath, guarding the gods independently, and being one flesh and blood, so it can live long and cover the world", and many people in later generations also relied on this to cultivate their self-cultivation.
The standing practice method is becoming more and more perfect, and there have been a variety of exercises, because of its quick effect, simple method, and pay attention to "communicate with heaven and earth, and use the qi of heaven and earth to nourish my body", so it is known as "through the heavens and the earth" exercises.
But later, due to the political and social influences of the time, with the passage of time, the real practice methods and real martial arts were gradually annihilated, and the remnants were only scattered among the people.
Standing on the pile to maintain health is to replenish vitality. This exercise is used as an adjunct to the practice of boxing, and is not used as a medical treatment. The principle lies in the process of practicing standing still, you can quickly get the feeling of being full of vitality, which is the so-called "internal strength", and this kind of strength is difficult to practice from the fist and foot routine. Through the auxiliary practice of standing piles, with a steady stream of internal strength, it is not only easy to "work hard", but also has the effect of fitness and health.
Taoist medicine believes that the essence of Daomen health preservation is to take dantian movement as the core of cultivation and the smooth flow of meridians, qi, blood and fluid as the purpose. The three treasures of human beings, the essence and spirit, through the process of refining and refining the qi and transforming the spirit, so that the essence, qi and spirit are condensed, and the body will be strong and longevity will be prolonged. As the saying goes: "Tranquility and nothingness, true qi comes from it, the spirit is guarded, and the illness is safe." ”
The medical healing effect of standing pile gong lies in the fact that it can not only maintain the mind and mind, but also make the body exercised. As the so-called "the master is not clear, the twelve officials are in danger, so that the road is blocked and impassable, and the form is a great injury." ”
By standing on the stump to nourish the spirit, it can not only dredge the meridians, reconcile the qi and blood, make the yin and yang intersect, water and fire are not only good, but also can boost the spirit, exercise the body, and increase strength.
There are many types of health station pile gong, and the essentials of practicing standing pile gong are practiced
Regardless of movement, stillness, walking, standing, sitting, or lying, there are very few restrictions and are simple and easy. If you need to rely on the method of standing on the stump to heal your illness, you also need to practice under the guidance of someone who is proficient. To practice standing on the pile, keep your feet slightly shoulder-width apart, stand with your body naturally, and sink to conform to the natural curvature of your knees. The ten fingers of both hands are slightly separated, but they seem to have a joint force, and the arms are hugged inward, and the arms are like balls in the mind. The tip of the tongue is on top of the palate, the mouth is slightly closed, and the face seems to be smiling. During this period, it is necessary to pay attention to the sinking of the center of gravity of the lower body, and the toes of the feet are lightly grasped, as if the feet are rooted; the upper body is upright, and the head is full of strength, like a line hanging from the sky tied to the top of the head, and the upper and lower forces are used to penetrate the pulse. It has to be mentioned that there are some details that need to be paid attention to in the process of practice: first, the duration of standing on the pile depends on the individual, and the initial practice can be in a tea room, and the time can gradually increase after practicing for a long time. Many beginners blindly pursue the long time of standing piles, thinking that the effect of standing for a long time will be better, but this is not the case. If the time is too long, the leg strength is insufficient, and if you continue to stand, your qi and blood will not run smoothly, which is not conducive to your body and mind. And when standing on the pile, the mind is more important, standing for a long time is tired, unable to keep the mind, the mind is scattered, and it is meaningless.
Second, practitioners who have been sparse for a long time can first prepare for some stretching exercises for the whole body or lower body to help channel qi and blood.
Third, it is enough to maintain natural breathing during personal practice, and do not deliberately pursue breathing methods to avoid deviations in practice. Many beginners try to adjust and control their breathing in order to achieve better results, but in practice this is often counterproductive. It is important to know that practicing standing pile gong is a long-term thing, and it is not a quick success. Therefore, the operation is simple and easy, and it is mainly adhered to, first of all, reduce the difficulty of the exercise, develop the habit of practice, and avoid the side effects of the practice of going off.
Fourth, about ideas. Some ancient texts will say that you don't have to think about anything when you practice, and it's nothing. But in fact, many people have not reached such a high level even if they have practiced for a long time, and this problem has also troubled some chivalrous warriors for a long time, and they have never found a solution. It wasn't until he became an immortal that he suddenly opened. When boxing, the brain can get a calm that is usually difficult to get, and when the limbs are performing difficult exercises, it is the best time for the brain to rest. This inspired us to correct the wrong movements of the body at any time when standing on the pile. In this way, you can not only concentrate more mentally, but also feel the natural qi.
After practicing, this is also the point that most people tend to ignore. Most people think that it is okay to finish the practice, but in fact, it is not. After practicing, take a walk to gradually calm down your qi and blood, which is also the process of "melting" kung fu into your body. In addition, when some immortals instructed their disciples, they also pointed out that they were not even allowed to speak after practicing martial arts, otherwise their vitality would be rushed, and people would die prematurely. Therefore, there are still many things to pay attention to after practicing.
