Chapter 6 Yin Jin character

I have seen an old doctor before. In clinical practice, when he encountered patients with lung problems, he also provided some psychological counseling while treating them, so that they would be less concerned.Whenever he pretended to be mysterious and said: "You are quite jealous", the patient was always very surprised and said: "You are amazing, how do you even know this!" Actually, this is not amazing. , where there is a cause, there must be an effect, and where there is an effect, there must be a cause.Since the Yin metal character is the most harmful to the lungs, then people with lung diseases must have more Yin metal in their personality, and jealousy is inevitable.

Calculation and jealousy are relatively stubborn things in Yin Jin's personality, and it is not easy to get rid of them.Knowing that jealousy is bad and hurts the lungs, but every time I see others gaining benefits or being better than myself, I still can't calm down and can't help feeling unhappy.If you want to suppress this unhappiness, it will be even more uncomfortable.How to do it?Many people are afraid to say again that "the country is easy to change and the nature cannot be changed". In fact, I am against this sentence. As long as we grasp the key to change the character, the character can be changed; as long as we have the appropriate method, jealousy will also can be eliminated.Let's do this kind of spiritual training: Imagine if someone invites us to dinner or travel, would we be happy?Someone sees a good book in a bookstore, buys two, and sends me one... What will happen to us?Definitely will be happy.Because they share their material wealth with us.

What would we do if someone saw a wonderful story, or a beautiful legend, or a funny joke, and told us?Definitely will be happy too.Because they take out their spiritual wealth and share it with everyone. Similarly, if a friend calls us excitedly and says: "A few days ago, I won 5 million yuan in the lottery, bought a villa for more than 3 million yuan, and bought a luxury car for more than 1 million yuan." Or An old classmate called and said: "My son won the provincial champion in the college entrance examination this year!" What will happen to us?Maybe a little jealous, a little unhappy.I thought to myself: "What are you showing off?" In fact, my friend had good intentions, he was very happy, and just wanted to share his happiness with us.Why can't we accept this love, but why do we have so many troubles because of inexplicable jealousy?Envy gets us nothing but hurts our delicate lungs.Why not be happy with him?You know, being happy is good for your health.My friend won the lottery and I can't share dividends. If I get a little bit of happiness, it is also a harvest.

Whenever we encounter other people who have benefited better than ourselves, we can use their achievements and joy as our own happy capital, and be happy with others. Over time, we will form a habit, and unconsciously jealous small.Don't underestimate such a simple spiritual training, it has a lot of background.This is what the Buddhists call "rejoicing".The so-called rejoicing is to be happy along with it, and we are also happy when we encounter other people's happy things.This is a method of Buddhist practice.In our daily life, if we can carry out such training all the time no matter what we encounter, we can reach a very high level. As for nourishing the heart and lungs, of course it is not a problem.

In fact, this is just a mental activity, which requires no effort, money or time. Why can't we do it?This is our jealousy at work.Whenever there is even a little bit of sincere joy in my heart when I see others benefiting, it means that the jealousy is gone.When we can be elated and happier than the beneficiaries themselves, then we will be happier than gods. I am only one, and one's happiness is very limited.There are tens of thousands of others, and the sum of the happiness of others is boundless.If I can be happy with everyone's happiness, wouldn't we be happy like a fairy all day long?

Moreover, sharing the happiness of others will make others have a great impression of us and make others happier.We are so happy every day, we will definitely be loved by everyone, without the torment of jealousy, the mood is relaxed, the happiness and kind thoughts are enough to make the body's energy flow unobstructed, and those lung problems have long since disappeared! From the point of view of pure literature, I like it very much, but from the point of view of being a human being, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.Most of the characters in it are tragic, and their tragedy is the tragedy of character.We all know that sister Lin is beautiful and frail, but we don't know how depressing this girl's character is, one of which is mean.When the family sent her flowers, she would ask if every girl had them, and said that hers were left over from everyone's picks.Seeing Baoyu and Xue Baochai together, she would say, "Hey, it's a coincidence that I came here." How could such a hearty and mean person not die young?So, she got lung disease.I speculate that Cao Xueqin did not create this character indiscriminately, either he has a realistic prototype, or he also understands the relationship between personality and disease.Lin Daiyu has obvious yin and gold characteristics in her character.

Yin Jin has a prickly personality, always thinking of saying something to stab someone, and if he stabs someone, he will feel an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.Little did he know, how would others feel, and what would others do to him next?Zeng Guofan said a very incisive sentence about this: "Acrimonious words make you happy for a while, but those who make it are resentful for life." When you spoke harshly about people, you were very comfortable at the time, but you couldn’t be completely comfortable. After a while, you felt uncomfortable again, suffocated again, and had to be harsh again, otherwise, you would feel suffocated and panicked again.In this state, the damage to the lungs is very great.The lungs govern the qi in the whole body. Doesn't it hurt the lungs if you hold your breath?

Annoyance means that people and things that don't go well with you become more and more distasteful the more you look at them, and you have a strange feeling in your heart.Seeing someone doing better, I immediately feel jealous, thinking: "Huh, what's so great!" Seeing someone not doing well, I'm immediately very happy, thinking: "Huh, you have today!" It feels like something is stuck in the throat.We often say "like a thorn in the throat", which is really apt.In fact, at this time, the poisonous gas will accumulate in the lung ducts, and in this state of mind for a long time, pulmonary system diseases will form.

What's more, you have been so sharp, who would want to be with you?What's more serious is that no one will feel good if you are harsh to anyone. Some people will even remember it for a lifetime and will take revenge on you.So, why bother to set up so many obstacles for yourself just for the momentary gratification on your lips? Some people may ask: "I have a serious Yin-Gold personality, and now my physical and mental state is very bad. I can't help being annoying, I can't do loyalty, it's hard for me to do charity and rejoice, and the realm is too high. How can I start to reverse Yin Jin's personality?" The answer is: learn to discover the strengths of others.This is relatively easy to learn and do.

Diseases of the pulmonary system are not terrible, because it is very easy to find, and if found, it may be cured.What is terrible is the sub-healthy state of the lung system, because it is too difficult to detect.For example, some people have bad skin, and most people think it is a symptom. Who would think that it is related to the lungs? When I was in college, at the dormitory "sleeping meeting", some roommates said that when he was looking for a girlfriend, he must find a beautiful girl, at least with good skin.Everyone immediately objected, does beauty mean everything?The key depends on whether her soul is beautiful or not!But he has always insisted that a beautiful girl must also have a beautiful heart, and it is born from the heart.Later, I saw a lot, and I gradually realized that there is some truth in what he said, and it is more reasonable to emphasize that the skin should be good.

The lungs govern the fur, and every pore is the opening of the lungs, and they are all breathing.It is said that two workers in a foreign nail polish factory joked that worker A smeared nail polish all over the body of worker B, who knew that worker B would die after applying it.How did you die?The pores are all blocked, and even if a person has a mouth and a nose to breathe, he will suffocate to death.Pores are the maintenance stations of our skin. There are three steps for one post and five steps for one sentry. They exchange substances with the outside world through subtle breathing at all times, discharge waste, and maintain our skin.Only when the lung system works normally, the pores can work normally; only when every pore is in good condition, can the skin be good.Therefore, good skin means to some extent that the lung system of this person is healthy, and a healthy lung system means that this person is easy to see the benefits of others.In other words, only those who can often see the strengths of others will have healthy skin! To find a girlfriend, of course we must find someone who can see our strengths, so that we can get along well.Otherwise, if she can't see the strengths of others, in her eyes, I am worthless, how depressing it is?In her eyes, others are useless, and she complained to me, isn't it more uncomfortable for me? Modern women pay great attention to their skin and dare to put anything on their face, but it is only superficial maintenance. If you really want to get "beauty from the inside out", the best way is to see more of others Strengths, while reducing jealousy. I once asked several girls: "If you saw a girl who was prettier than you, would you be jealous?" Of course, some people said they were jealous, and some people said they were not.But the interesting thing is that people who say they are jealous are often not very beautiful, or have spots or acne on their faces. It seems that they have to envy many people every day; while people who say they are not jealous are often beautiful women. She has fair skin, and although others are not prettier than her, she still calls others "pretty". This subtle difference is worth pondering. The lungs govern breathing. The average person can go seven days without eating and three days without drinking water, but imagine how many days we can go without breathing?I'm afraid it won't work if I don't breathe for a few minutes!The importance of breathing can be seen.There are many books that tell us how to eat and drink to keep healthy, but few books tell us how to breathe.In fact, the knowledge of breathing is great! Our normal breathing is in an unconscious state, so we don't pay attention to our own breathing, and we don't realize that our breathing will change with the external situation and the changes in our heart.And it is necessary for us to spend a little time and put a little effort into breathing and adjust it.This is called "breath adjustment".Breath adjustment is a very important part of the practice of Taoism and Buddhism.In fact, breath adjustment is not mysterious, it is very simple and easy to do.It has something to do with the heart. When people are mentally tense or unhappy, or when they are engaged in heavy mental work, their breathing will become short and shallow.At this time, the oxygen consumption of the human body increases and the oxygen supply decreases, so it is gradually in a state of hypoxia.Once there is a lack of oxygen, the energy substances in our body will be incompletely oxidized.Incomplete oxidation is a terrifying concept. We know that carbon dioxide is produced by complete oxidation of charcoal and coal, which is harmless to the human body; but if it is burned in an oxygen-deficient environment, carbon monoxide is produced after incomplete oxidation, which is killing people. The gas is gone.The same is true for the energy substance in our body. Under normal circumstances, it is completely oxidized to produce carbon dioxide and water, which are excreted from the body; while under oxygen-deficient conditions, it produces acidic substances and remains in the body. This kind of substance is harmful.So we can feel sour when we are tired, and even our temperament becomes sour.The ancients said that scholars have a "sour air", which is caused by tiredness in reading, nervousness, and poor health preservation.In modern society, there are more people with sour gas, far more than just scholars.We see a lot of white-collar workers and gold-collar workers with disheveled faces and sour manners. People who know diet therapy and health maintenance say: "Too tired from work will increase the acidity of the body. We should eat more alkaline foods to neutralize them." However, alkaline foods neutralize the acid left in our body, and produce What substance has it?Where did these substances go?Is it useful?This issue is too complicated, and no one dares to say that he has studied it thoroughly.What if a toxic substance is generated?Or produce solid substances that are difficult to dissolve and difficult to excrete?Even if the produced substance is non-toxic and can be excreted from the body, it is still a waste. Therefore, the best way is to let those incompletely oxidized acidic substances continue to oxidize, on the one hand to generate carbon dioxide and water, to be discharged, and on the other hand to provide energy for our body.This requires breath adjustment. Breath adjustment must be practiced first, so that the breath is deep and long.Zhuangzi said: "A real person's breath is on his heels, and everyone's breath is on his throat." That is to say, people who know how to maintain health breathe very deeply, reaching as deep as their heels, while ordinary people's breathing is very short and shallow. Exhaled.When we are short of breath, the lungs are indeed in an inert state. It only uses a small part of the alveoli, which can neither fully absorb oxygen nor discharge the stale air deep in the lungs in time.When practicing deep and long breathing, we must first meditate and focus our minds on the in and out of the air. When inhaling, we feel the air entering from the nose, into the lungs, and then to the dantian (little belly). At this time, our little The stomach bulges; then, the lower abdomen contracts, and we feel the air return from the Dantian to the lungs, and then exhaled through the nostrils.When exhaling, exhale until you can no longer exhale, so that the turbid air is completely exhaled. Repeatedly like this, gradually we will form the habit of using the ups and downs of the lower abdomen to control breathing, not only when resting or sitting quietly, but also when doing anything.Why do some people work without being tired and still have energy all the time?The secret lies in this breath! Breath adjustment is also helpful for meditation. People who meditate often focus their minds on breathing, visualize the breath sinking in the dantian, and then slowly flow out from the dantian, and the heart will calm down. The human body is in a state of hypoxia, which provides a hotbed for the growth of cancer cells. People's hearts are not peaceful, and distracting thoughts are full of thoughts, which is also the root of all diseases.Why don't we practice breathing?Meditate in breathing, breathe in meditation, you can quickly develop a habit, and you can get healthy "inaction"!
