Why should the mind be at peace?

There's so much hustle and bustle in the world.

Every day, there is a variety of news that fills the ears and eyes.

Turn on the TV, and there are all kinds of TV and movie programs that exude different temptations.

What is peace of mind? Why does our heart need peace and tranquility?

I experienced a needle sickness incident.

Because of wisdom teeth, I needed to have an end tooth removed. It had pressed on my nerves, causing the corners of my mouth to tingle, so it had to be removed.

However, there is a certain risk of extracting the tooth that compresses the nerve, and if it is not treated well, it may be extracted along with the nerve fibers, resulting in permanent damage to the nerve loss.

Therefore, Yan'an Hospital and community hospitals did not dare to pull out. I mentioned this in a previous article when I wrote about the dentist.

But I was so sad. I went to the private hospital next to the community hospital to pull it out. This hospital has a lot of customers every day. The equipment and facilities are also very good. The doctor is very young. The price is also expensive.

Anesthesia is given before tooth extraction. I looked at the long needle and couldn't imagine how it was going to stick into the muscles of my delicate pink mouth. That's really what I thought. It feels acceptable to give an injection to the hand or to the fat buttocks. But looking at this long, thin needle to be injected into the thin layer of muscle in the mouth, I really accept impotence.

So, before I started the injection, I started to get scared.

When the needle got into my mouth and I bit it like a little ant, it was a little cool, and I was extremely nervous, and something was not quite right. I heard a loud muffled sound in my ears, the sound of a sledgehammer smashing against a wall, one after the other. It's like a big hammer of eraser. I'm still confused, I know that the smashing of the wall for decoration must be a big iron hammer. I asked someone to do it when I renovated my house. There were all sorts of other noises, all in all of which were rumbling and noisy.

I asked the dentist in a daze, are you doing a renovation next door now? I don't even think you're in business, are you smashing a wall with a sledgehammer all at once? That's too noisy, isn't it?

The dentist didn't react, and thought my question was a little funny: no, we are next door to the lottery shop, and then there is a barber shop, very quiet, where to do any decoration?

How so? I was confused, but my brain was completely clouded at this time, and I didn't even think that there was no abnormal noise in my surroundings until I sat down in the chair for dentistry. My mom was still sitting in a chair next to me. There are other children in the clinic whose parents are chatting. The chairs in the dental office are blue and white. The dentist also wears a blue disposable non-woven hat. Nothing out of the ordinary. (It turned out that it was just me who was abnormal!) )

Suddenly, I heard the loud and loud sound of renovation, and the sound of firecrackers being set off at the door, crackling and exploding. It's the kind of muffled sound too. Not crisp, but loud.

I said to the dentist, is someone setting off firecrackers? I heard someone setting off firecrackers in front of your door. It's so loud.

The dentist's face finally changed a little, and he quickly said, are you faint from the needle? You take it easy and take a deep breath with me.

Then he quickly picked up the tooth maker and began to spray water in my face, and then unbuttoned the front of my collar, and very quickly took out a small fan out of nowhere and blew it on me, and began to instruct me with the command: Come, take a deep breath, yes, relax, exhale slowly. Good. Again. Inhale slowly, yes, come, exhale slowly...... Is it better?

I did as he was told, and felt a cold swish on my face. The wind blows cool on the face and chest. Then, the strange sound in my ears gradually disappeared.

After returning to normal, the dentist said, what a decoration. You're hearing your own heartbeat, right?

Is it? Am I hearing my own heartbeat? I'm still a little confused. But there was already peace in the ears. It's business as usual.

The dentist shook his head: You're too nervous. I haven't even injected this anesthesia, and you're so nervous that you're fainting.

Yes?

I'm dumbfounded, didn't you just fight?

Where? I just got some water in to disinfect the walls of my mouth. You can't do this without anesthetic, I can't pull it out for you without anesthetic, you can't stand the pain.

The dentist shook his head. He advised me again: Don't be afraid, it's like a little ant taking a bite. And this anesthetic is used in dentistry, it will only locally anesthetize the mouth, and it will not affect the brain, so you don't have to be so afraid. And after the first shot, you don't feel it anymore.

What to do? If you don't pull it out, it's painful, and you have to face it well. I said, you wait for me to calm down for a while, and you can get ready, and then you can fight.

I closed my eyes and rested for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then opened my mouth and said, you can fight.

Sure enough, it was like a little ant taking a bite. And I don't feel any pain in the back. I could feel the action of the injection, but that muscle was really numb. It was like turning into a stone, and I could feel the needle poking on it, but it didn't hurt.

Later, I pulled out the tooth. It cost more than sixteen hundred. The dentist told me to come to him every three days to check on his recovery. Fear of infection causing myocarditis or blood problems. And let me go to the community hospital next door for infusion and disinfection to avoid inflammation.

The reason why I say such a past is that I just think of what the dentist said, what you heard, I'm afraid it's your own heartbeat, right?

Creatures are nature's most amazing species. Whether it's a human, an animal, or a plant.

We have internal organs in our bodies. They work hard all the time. It's kind of like crap. If they don't work, we'll be over.

However, I want to ask, can you feel their work?

Do you know when your stomach is wriggling? How does he squirm? Except, of course, the kind that hurts your stomach when you're hungry.

Do you know how your small intestine moves to absorb food and dissipate heat? Do you know how the large intestine moves to dispose of food scraps? Do you know how the kidneys work to overfeed the water and then drain urine into the bladder? Do you know how the liver detoxifies? Do you know how the spleen is infused with the subtleties of the valley? Do you know how your lungs constantly exchange fresh air with gas in your body?

We don't feel any of this. The most we can feel is our own heartbeat. Knock on our fingers.

We can only know to drink water, eat, and go to the toilet when our body functions reach a certain time and trigger the reminder. Sleep, rest.

Not to mention the miracle of nature's creation. I just thought of a TCM theory.

Traditional Chinese medicine theory says that the heart hides the spirit. This god is the same god as the spirit god, and it is precisely because of the spirit god that we can live a healthy, normal and regular life. When the spirit is dry or chaotic, it is possible to climb high and sing, and bathe in public. Twisting clothes and touching the bed, crying and laughing.

Many wellness regimens advocate peace of mind. For example, meditating, standing, meditating, meditating. Lay down.

They all advocate to use a quiet mood, a quiet temperament, a quiet environment, and a quiet attitude to face the strange and chaotic life.

Why do you have to be peaceful? Want to be calm? Be pure-hearted and want less?

I remembered how I felt when I was sick again. I think that in that extremely stressful situation, my God and my body and mind were one. My body and mind, my outward spirit, strayed into my God's world out of fear and panic.

So, my eyes still saw the outside environment, the blue chairs and white walls of the dental office, the elementary school students waiting for the tooth extraction, the parents talking, the mother sitting in the rest chair waiting for me, and the enlarged dental mold on the front desk.

My ears hear the conversation of the outside world. My mouth was also able to talk normally and talk to the dentist about my doubts.

But in my head I heard the loud roar of my god's world, which I alone could hear, and the chaotic noise and cacophony of all other sounds.

The loud, dull sound of a sledgehammer pounding was the sound of a heartbeat at every moment. The other unknown noises of all sorts are the mechanical sounds of the various organs running in the magical functional tissue of my body. They, too, never stop and work tirelessly.

And that strange, firecracker-like sound, perhaps, is the kidneys excreting urine into the bladder? Perhaps, it is the lymphatic system that is battling a foreign virus? Or is it the subtle sound of the spleen transporting the valley?

I don't know.

But what I do know is the God in our bodies, the environment in which He lives and works.

It turned out to be so noisy and noisy. It's such a roar. The sound is deafening!

If I was left in such an environment, I would probably be devastated.

It dawned on me. Why should Chinese medicine advocate, we should calm our minds and calm our nerves.

How could the gods who dwelled in the factory of the body, already incomparably busy and noisy inside, not want to have a peaceful, quiet and peaceful outward?

So, meditating, standing, meditating, meditating, even if it's just sitting quietly and closing your eyes, it's definitely the best way to recuperate.

It is more God in the body that determines the longevity of our lives. Only when he is properly maintained, the organs of the body can run longer and better.

Therefore, relaxing your state of mind, thinking less and wanting less, working and resting regularly, and calming your mind are the correct attitude towards life.

In fact, we should not compete for wealth and material comfort, let alone for so-called success.

What we should compete with most is who lives longer than whom.

In this way, we can better understand the meaning of life.

Peace of mind is my hometown.
