Now I will teach you the many precautions regarding inedia and retreat.
For a practitioner, due to the amount of food he consumes every month, a large amount of negative food accumulates in the body, which will hide many toxins, so the practitioner If the Qi pulse is very important in meditation, if the Qi pulse is not pure, it will hinder the meditation. Since it is impossible to enter meditation, there is no way to talk about the order of practice in the future, including wisdom and supernatural powers. Therefore, for practitioners, especially those who practice Zen, they must have at least three days of fasting every month. Through fasting, they can eliminate toxins from the body, purify the energy channels, and help one achieve meditation. As for ordinary people, since the amount of food they absorb every day is mainly meat and meat, there are more toxins hidden in the body. Then, if one day of fasting every month allows the toxins in the body to be removed and excreted, many organs in the body will also be away from the invasion of toxins, so that the body can become healthier. This is the first meaning.
The second meaning is that people’s fasting, that is, “hunger strike”, can directly and indirectly achieve the effect of not killing. As for non-killing, first of all, it has great significance for the global ecology, for the saving of resources and energy, and for the emotional imbalance among people due to the toxins caused by the intake of food, causing many man-made obstacles and diseases. meaning. If one-fifth of the people in the world can live without grains for one day a month, then on this day, firstly, they will stay away from killing and balance the ecology; secondly, they can save resources and energy, and they can use this to gain an extra share of the future. The resources and energy saved will be used to help people in need. Third, it plays an immeasurable role in harmonizing one’s own body and mind.
There are many secret issues in Bigu practice. You can refer to the book "Zongyuan Bigu Health Preservation" published by Traditional Chinese Medicine Ancient Books Publishing House, which provides a comprehensive introduction to the history, culture, theory, practice methods and precautions of Bigu. Matters and students’ experiences were exchanged, and the secrets of Bigu are explained in the book. With the promotion of non-material health industry culture, Bigu is also a traditional non-material health project.
So, this is an act that has all benefits and no disadvantages for ourselves, others, society, and the ecology. It can also be said to be an act of immeasurable merit! So inelegans can last for one day, three days, six days, nine days, or even forty-nine days, or even more can last for several months. Why is it that during the period of ineditation, the body will not be hungry, but will become healthier? Even during the adjustment process, those who are extremely thin can gain weight during the inedia period; and those who are obese can lose weight during the inedia period? Because in the process of inedia, the body's functions can be adjusted independently to achieve a comprehensive balance of body and mind.
In this process, there is a method, which is our unique method. Next, I will break it down for everyone.
First, if you are not in retreat, you should drink more water during the inedia. Drinking more water can eliminate toxins from the body and help speed up digestion and detoxification. This is number one. Secondly, you can also eat a small amount of fruit. Third, during the inedia period, the stomach and gastrointestinal functions are still in the process of constant digestion and peristalsis, so there will always be a sense of hunger and fatigue. There is a way to adjust this time.
This method is like this, (see video) First, stand with your feet 11 steps shoulder-width apart, your hands naturally vertical, with the palms of your hands facing each other, slowly lift it up, and inhale while lifting it. Breathing in, the inhalation must be deep, thin and long. I will demonstrate below.
The first breath reaches this point (raise your arms to shoulder level) - from deep, thin, to long, and lift your thoughts upward from the spring.
Next, the second breath is to expand the chest and abdomen (extend the arms) -
Okay, this breath has been completed and full. After that, a little Pause for a moment -
When you put your hands together, exhale through your mouth, not through your nose (bring your arms in) -
Return to the first decomposition action , then turn your palms, palms facing down, and droop naturally. At this time, take the second breath and exhale (your arms slowly droop) -
What is emphasized here is that when inhaling, Yongquan point Breathe in slowly until your whole body is full; when you exhale, without any thought, exhale slowly from your mouth.
You can do this action six times. After six times, you will feel that your whole body is very full, especially your qi and blood are very smooth. At this time, your hunger will gradually disappear and your spirit will also Getting fuller and fuller.
I will do it again in a consistent manner.
A few points to note are that what I just did was done in one breath, but you beginners may not be able to do it in one breath, so let’s break it down:
First One, from the natural vertical position, lift -, this is one breath;
(Arms abducted -,) This is the second breath.
When you close it, pay attention. Once, at this time, the palm of your hand is slightly tilted upward. At this time, you will feel that your entire palm, especially your fingers, will tremble, numb, and have a feeling of numbness. The current circulates and then slowly slows down.
When your hands return to their original positions, you can pay attention to the qi and blood throughout your body, especially the palms and soles of your feet. There will be a strong sense of electricity. At the same time, no matter how cold it is, Weather, after you do it six times, your whole body will feel hot and you will sweat.
I hope that practitioners and laypeople can use this method to go against grains. In the process of fasting away from grains, of course, we also emphasize a pure heart and few desires. This not only has an immeasurable promotion effect on one's own practice and physical health, but also on ecological balance and saving resources and energy.
