Supplementing qi is absolutely beneficial to health. Then everyone must ask me: how to hold your breath? It's actually quite simple. You don't need to learn those strange qigong. You just need to keep your inner peace. No matter where you are, whether in the office or on the road, you are tired. Stop to do two exercises, keep your breath and your spirit will come.
How to do this work of nourishing qi? Don't inhale through your nose to do qigong, the road is dusty and the air is dirty, so we must never inhale through your nose to do qigong in the city, as long as you are calm and don't have to listen with your ears, as long as you feel breathing.
We already breathe, so we don't have to practice or control our breathing, just feel our original breathing state. If you feel that something is not smooth and there are obstacles, as long as your mind continues to calm down and keep quiet for a period of time, it will naturally be harmonious and smooth. This is the best way, don't reinvent the wheel.

You people who have jobs are nervous outside all day, and that kind of nervous mood is the deepest miss. Any time you are nervous, the cells in your body will stop breathing, which will lead to diseases. Let me give you an example, which is very interesting and practical. A young man who studied with me has a husband and she works hard. She doesn't want children. Her husband was afraid that she would become a monk and tried to get her pregnant. She didn't want to. After she got pregnant, she was still working. When it was time to give birth, she was unhappy, so she worked hard and focused on it. Just the thought of breathing stopped, and as a result, the fetus did not move and could not be born. The doctor thought it was strange that the fetus was alive and why it didn't move. She knew it herself, smiled and let go of her thoughts, and the baby was born. So if you work so hard, people will get sick, get old and ruin their lives at any time. Most people are nervous at any time and often stop breathing, which is ruining their lives.
If you want to practice meditation, you must empty your heart, listen to your breathing naturally and know that you are breathing at any time. And without help, I'm not nervous, and then my breathing stops slowly, which is in line with my idea. It's called monasticism and kung fu.
If this is the way to practice monasticism, of course you should specialize in it. The so-called single-minded, is to put everything down, like a monk, specializing in. But it is difficult to do it in the family; But there should also be a stage of specialization, and then come to work in the WTO. If you want to do things as usual in society, you must always find a short time, one day, two days, three days, or seven days to experiment at any time and slowly accumulate short-term experiments. This is preliminary. Usually, all kinds of desires should also be reduced, otherwise it is difficult to think empty.

If you concentrate on breathing, your mind will be pulled back to you. But don't deliberately breathe. You usually don't pay special attention to the breathing of our noses. Now you sit up and ignore everything. It's better to hear and breathe. If you can't hear it, you will feel it, and you will feel one in and one out.
When you feel the first time and the second time, your mind runs away, and you know that the two are separate. Hurry back, so Taoism also calls this a combination of men and women, which means that women and men cooperate together. Taoism says that there is a matchmaker named "huangpo" in the middle of the coordination of Yin and Yang, which means "meaning". Your consciousness should associate your breathing with your thoughts. Don't care too much. Breathing is related. I sit at the dinner table and don't care about anything. Consciousness only pays attention to this breath, and thought combines with it, so I won't run around. The method is simple.
I'm sorry to ask you, do you really understand qi? Do you really know your breathing? Don't say you, even many monks, who have worked hard all their lives, can't recognize that they are breathing! Open the Dharma Zen Sutra, and the founder's note on it reads: "There are two kinds of people who are safe: one sees and two touches, but the blunt root disappears." It means that the wise can now see their breathing clearly; A fool listens for nothing, but he doesn't know his breath all his life, and there is not even a shadow. Stupidity is the name of Buddhism, that is, the stupidity of fools. Most of us are silly and difficult to understand.

The best way to sit there simply and clearly is to come back and listen to your breathing. You just sit there and listen to your own breathing, it's your own life! But everyone has lived all his life, breathing by himself. I always say, when do you know your breathing? You can only hear your breathing when you can't sleep and want to sleep on the pillow, right? (A: Yes)
Your experience, now that you can't hear breathing, is that your heart and breathing are separated. Breathing is the most basic function of life, and breathing and body feeling belong to yin; Thought is the living spirit of life and belongs to Yang. You calm down, set your eyes and listen to your breathing naturally. Pay attention to your words, not your ears, but your feelings. Don't say that it thundered this afternoon, even in the midst of thousands of troops, you can hear your breathing, so this person's quiet time is very high, and ordinary people can't feel their breathing.
When the breath slowly calms down, are there any ideas in the middle? Must be thoughtful. At this time, you will realize that life is a breath, an idea, and a "learning" that knows how to breathe and think. From this, we can also know that Lao Tzu's words, the so-called "Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything", have three initial stages, one is idealism, the other is materialism and the other is the role of monism of mind and matter.
Calm down, listen to your breathing, and your thoughts are still turning. Don't be afraid, because you know you are thinking, your breath is moving, but the one behind you who can know is not moving. You will calm down if you catch the one who can know.
But when you calm down, you will find that there is something wrong with your health, alas! I feel uncomfortable here at the waist. Ouch! My leg hurts and my head is swollen. Just now, you talked about the truth that "the pain will not pass, and the general principle will not hurt". You have checked your health. If an absolutely healthy person opens his eyes, his whole body is light and refreshing, his thinking is clear and his memory is getting stronger and stronger; The analysis of wisdom is not to use the brain, but to enhance perception. Many books that I didn't understand at first glance, don't think much. I think it's the sixth consciousness, it's ordinary intelligence, and wisdom, which doesn't understand science at first, is wisdom. Now the term for translating western philosophy is intuition. Intuition is only the surface of wisdom, and there are things in the deep.

People have natural breathing. Once you sit down, you don't care about anything. Don't worry about the thickness of your breath, just listen to your own breath quietly. Listen, not with your ears, but naturally. Don't guide it, and don't refuse it. Listen slowly. Listen to it. Breathing is fun. It started short and grew slowly.
Don't think you are good at kung fu. You don't have to do it. No! If you want to get sick less and worry less, even a bodhisattva who climbs to the ground needs to practice. So, don't slow down, fix it. Listen to the breath, whether it increases or decreases, let it be. However, there is a problem in the middle, which tells you to listen and breathe. It turned out to be a feeling of management. How can I put it?
Desktop breathing, I just listened to one or two breaths at first, and then I took care of my feelings after listening to them several times, and my thoughts were taken away by my physical feelings. This is hard to understand. It is not easy to know unless you have played here. You'll realize it later. Breathing is empty, and the feeling of physiological reaction is more real and firm than breathing. Physical feelings are the root of our karma, which is easy to grasp. So, just listen to your breathing, don't care about your physical feelings, and don't control your breathing.

Can you sit here and listen while knowing that you are inhaling and exhaling? Honestly, I can't do it, absolutely not. Suppose there is a person sitting here, listening and writing, breathing through his nose and whole body, going in and out completely knowing that this person can almost speak and practice, which is called "knowing interest"
I said this, you test it yourself! Listen and do things at the same time, with your mind breathing, starting from your nostrils. It is equal to saying that the eyes look at the nose and the nose looks at the heart; This view is not an eye view, but a heartfelt view. If you practice like this, you will make rapid progress.
Know what you inhale, know what you exhale. Do you hear breathing now? Did you hear that? I can't hear you! Where can you hear me? Just a little feeling! In other words, we should always keep in harmony with the coming and going of this feeling, which is called practice and meditation. If you sit up and barely find a breathing fit, what is practice? Who are you? Just like I'm talking to you now, I know how I breathe. Like me, my feet are still jumping and my hands are still moving. You know how to inhale and exhale, and you know how to inhale and exhale. But don't use force, don't help, don't forget, and you have to pay attention.
