When people meditate cross-legged, their heads are upside down and they receive high energy from cosmic celestial bodies, which is called opening heaven; The perineum sits at the bottom to avoid energy escaping from the perineum, which is called shutting the door; Hands, feet and head up, collecting and absorbing the high energy in celestial bodies, called five hearts facing the sky; The legs overlap, so that the foot three yin and foot three yang intersect, and the energy of the legs is complementary; Hands are tied, so that the three Yin San yang of hands are connected, and the energy of both hands is injected; The tongue is at the top of the palate, the teeth are slightly separated from the seam, and the lips are closed, so that the two veins of Ren Du are connected and the main veins of the body are unblocked, which is called taking the magpie bridge.
From the yogi's point of view.
The tongue reaches the palate, the lips are closed, and Ren Du is connected with Du Meridian, forming a Sunday cycle, which is what we often call Sunday. Under normal circumstances, noon and noon are the time for the human body to relax and sleep, which can form a Sunday cycle. So people who keep in good health pay attention to sleeping at noon, so this Sunday cycle is called meridian Sunday; Practice is to artificially connect the two veins, so that the veins on the body can be unblocked to a greater extent, and physical and mental health can be maintained.
When the legs overlap, the legs form a triangle Sunday, forming venous circulation; When the hands are tied, a triangle-like Sunday is formed between the hands and the head, forming a venous circulation; The twelve meridians are connected with each other to form a circle on the side of human body. According to the natural cycle time of the body, this cycle generally runs in Shi Mao and unitary time, and the human body automatically forms a cycle, so this practice method is called You Mao Sunday.
When people meditate, the five internal organs in the body will live in harmony and coordinate with each other. Going up through kidney water and down through heart fire is called the combination of fire and water, going west through liver-qi and transporting lung fluid to the east to realize the intersection of Jin Mu and so on; Form a cycle in the human body; The five internal organs operate and control each other, and the three jiao are interrelated, forming a cycle in the human body, so that the potential of the human body can be maximized.
Repair life energy in meditation
First, meditation can strengthen the body, repair the sub-health state of the body and improve the function of internal organs.
Especially for chronic diseases and stubborn diseases, such as hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, lung disease, cerebral blood supply deficiency, migraine, heavy body, cold limbs, rheumatism, love sweating, night sweats, etc. , has obvious regulatory effect.
When sitting quietly, focus on one point, breathing becomes gentle and even, the total amount of air entering the lungs through breathing is relatively stable, and the amount of oxygen entering the heart is relatively stable, which is conducive to the regulation of blood pressure. During meditation, the energy consumption of the body is reduced, and the oxygen consumption of the heart is much lower than usual, so the power of blood circulation is naturally strengthened than usual. Strong blood circulation can help us purify the blocked substances in blood vessels and restore the vitality of many "long-term dormant" blood vessels.
This kind of qi pulse can help the viscera purify the accumulated "negative energy", thus improving the self-healing function of the viscera. After passing under the skin, it can help skin and muscles purify "negative energy" and improve skin color and muscle curve. Therefore, even in a short meditation, people will feel relaxed and comfortable life energy rising from the depths of the body, just like being massaged inside the body by a pair of warm big hands.
Meditation can also enhance the strength of Xiadantian, which is the source of life energy. In the process of meditation, due to the purification of blood vessels and the harmony of body and mind qi, the meridians of the whole body can be dredged, and the "qi meridian" can be restored to normal operation, achieving the effect of consolidating essence and cultivating yuan, and the vitality is full of evil.
Secondly, meditation can improve the temperament of life and shape a healthy and beautiful posture.
Persisting in meditation can calm a person's inner temperament and make people present elegant, quiet and soft beauty between gestures. This temperament is the product of the comprehensive effect of physical, emotional and spiritual energy on life. The softer the inner spirit, the better the body is purified, the more stable the mood, and the better the external temperament.
In particular, it is pointed out that the double-disk sitting posture in meditation can quickly shape a beautiful posture. Double-disc meditation is called the most stable sitting posture, which can not only stabilize the turbulent wind in the body, but also quickly reduce the body fat and dredge the blocked meridians. People who practice double dishes can easily keep the graceful curves of waist, buttocks, thighs and calves, and control the energy balance of upper and lower bodies.
Thirdly, meditation can relieve stress, release anxiety, tension, irritability and uneasiness, and make the whole life feel calm, happy, comfortable and secure.
Although we often ignore the body and talk about the spirit, we seldom think about it. In fact, all spiritual products, including thoughts, emotions, feelings and so on, have a physiological basis, that is, the nervous system of our body. Vimo Zen believes that to completely solve mental problems, we must first start with the body. Because all the feelings of stress, anxiety, tension, irritability and uneasiness are first perceived by the nervous system of the body and then by people. The nervous system is all over the body. If a certain part of the body is diseased or blocked, the signals received by the nervous system will also change, and then the feelings that are not conducive to life and health will be transmitted to the brain, and then thoughts and behaviors that are not conducive to life and health will be produced.
Our unstable emotions and thoughts are not created out of thin air, but the result of "karma". Its causes include not only external people and things, but also internal factors of the body. The nervous system of the body is the physiological basis of emotions and thoughts. For example, when a person is angry, give him an anesthetic and paralyze his nervous system, and his anger will disappear immediately.
Meditation is like massaging our nervous system, so that this "naughty child" will no longer affect our emotions and thoughts. In the process of meditation, the frontal lobe activity in the forebrain area will be enhanced, and brain cells will begin to secrete endorphins and serotonin, which are important elements to help the human nervous system relax and calm down. Many people can feel that their nervous mood is relieved and their agitated mood tends to calm down through ten minutes of meditation. Long-term meditation practice can help us cultivate stable spiritual strength.
Fourthly, meditation can open inner wisdom, guide people to reflect on themselves, realize the existence of life and realize liberation.
It's not sitting around thinking about nothing, the operation of the brain is not shut down. Sit-in exercises usually begin with concentration. Although the occipital lobe activity of the brain will be weakened, the frontal lobe activity in the forebrain area will be enhanced. The frontal lobe is related to human intellectual activities, so people often have inspiration, new ideas and memories of forgotten things in meditation.
Long-term meditation will make the mind clear and sharp. Because the methods of meditation are different, the effects of enlightenment and introspection are also different. Some meditation methods start with "stopping", and training the mind to rest on one thing can cultivate the "concentration" of life; Some meditation methods start with "observation", train the awareness and keenness of the heart, and achieve "intelligent observation"; There are also meditation methods that use "thinking", just like many meditation methods in the Yoga Sutra. Through meditation, people are connected with the sun, the sky, nature and space, and they feel the unity of people and the whole existing world. These methods can lead people to introspect, open their wisdom and realize the relationship between self-life and the existing world to varying degrees.
A clear understanding of the effect of meditation will help us to improve our confidence in meditation. As long as you keep sitting every day, these effects will naturally appear.
It's rare to get it alone now. Buddhism stinks today. It is the responsibility of every Buddhist disciple to let Buddhism live on earth and have feelings every day. I hope everyone will send a heart and become a disseminator and sower of the law. Turn your magic weapon into ten, and ten into a hundred, so that all living beings in Qian Qian can take the road of enlightenment.
