Some explanations of qigong terms

Hide the spirit inside, this sentence comes from the classic of traditional Chinese medicine, Huangdi Neijing. The original text is "Nothing is indifferent, and the true qi follows." Hide the spirit in it to stay away from the disease? This sentence can be said to be a high generalization of TCM health preservation. Mainly refers to people in the process of life, to maintain a pure mind, restraint and introspection of the mental state, the pursuit of a clean and natural state of life. This state should be the most consistent with the process of life, which can make life as long and tenacious as a long stream of water. In this sentence, "spiritual self-defense" also refers to seeking a peaceful and restrained mentality, free from evil thoughts, delusions and impatience, and maintaining inner peace. This requires you to gradually know, accumulate and reflect on yourself in the process of life, which no master can help. Endoscopy refers to closing your eyes and looking at a certain part of your body, without external interference and floating distractions. Also known as Vipassana. Its purpose is quiet. The secret text of Qinghua said: "Those who can't be quiet can't simply call their hearts, cover their hearts and serve their gods. The two serve each other. If you want to be quiet, you must first control your eyes. Those who wander in the house will wander in their eyes and serve your heart, so you can suppress your eyes and let them return to your heart. "So, when you look inside with your eyes, your mind is concentrated and your vitality is abundant. When you look back, your mind is calm and calm. When practicing, you should concentrate on rest, put your tongue on the upper jaw, pay attention to your mind, look down at your abdomen, and you will soon be quiet. There are different opinions about the position of Tian Dan in ancient books and qigong experts. According to Huang Tingjing, there is a Huang Ting (stomach) in the abdomen, with related elements below, cryptology (kidney) behind and Mingmen in front, which is actually one inch and three points in the umbilicus. The reason why Dantian has become the most important method of practicing Qigong is that during treatment, we can pay attention to this place, guide our minds to concentrate, give our brains a full rest, adjust our breathing, strengthen our fitness and enhance the activities of inner canthus. We know that only when our brains and kidneys are healthy can we get rid of all diseases with sufficient qi. Practicing to protect the abdomen is an important effort to "adjust the heart". And "adjusting the heart" must cooperate with "adjusting the interest rate" to get great results. Therefore, qigong experts have a saying: "To cure diseases, we should nourish qi, and to maintain health, we should adjust our breath.". Breathing must clear the heart, and clearing the heart must strengthen the brain. If the brain is strengthened, it will be calm and the qi will start without any discomfort. "Beginners meditation, this kind of kung fu is extremely difficult to do, people's delusion never stop together for a second. This is what I call "spiritually". Is to be able to calm these thoughts down, put down all other thoughts when sitting quietly, and focus on the lower abdomen (lower abdomen). If you want to start again, just let it go. Repeated practice like this, over time, delusions will naturally gradually decrease, in order to reach the realm of no thoughts. This is the best achievement method. For example, beginners of Qigong feel that the foundation of this idea is not enough, so they can close their eyes lightly, show a glimmer of light and look at their noses accurately. This is called "eyes like curtains". Breathe gently through your nose. If you don't smell it, your mouth must be closed naturally and your tongue should be extended to the upper jaw. When you have more oral liquid, you can slowly swallow it in small sips. The most important thing is to defend the abdomen. People who learn to meditate for the first time often reflect: "When I didn't learn to meditate, there were fewer distractions. After I entered meditation, I had more illusions. I don't know why. "This is really a misunderstanding. You know, people's paranoia may be discovered at any time, but it is usually distracted by contact with the external environment, so I don't feel much; After Xi sat down quietly, he focused his attention on his heart, only feeling that his hallucinations were flashing and unpredictable. We can start from here and immediately reflect on how delusions come about. Long-term practice will gradually reduce distractions. Beginners of meditation are prone to two situations. First, there is no way to settle down; Second, I feel groggy and doze off from time to time. To cure emotional anxiety, we should completely put down all our thoughts, be empty, and pay attention to the middle of the lower abdomen, and naturally we can slowly settle down; To cure drowsiness, we should raise our minds, pay special attention to the tip of the nose and cheer up. Because of fatigue during the day, it is easy to get dizzy when sitting at night, and get up in the morning to meditate, so I won't get dizzy because I have enough sleep at night. References:
