Chapter 19 Part II Taoist "Book of Changes" and TCM Medical Theory-9

Last time we talked about the issue of spirit, energy and spirit, which is related to the eight extraordinary meridians. Older people can use this method to achieve self-help, health and rejuvenation. Regarding this aspect, we have to mention the practice of Taoism. Old people have medicine There were two Taoist authorities in the Song and Ming Dynasties, Zhang Ziyang in the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Sanfeng in the late Yuan and early Ming.The other one is Zhang Sanfeng, with the same pronunciation, but Zhang Sanfeng has made great achievements in alchemy and Taijiquan, and has a series of famous works of "rootless tree".

There are two historically largest Taoist temples in China, one is the Baiyun Temple in Beijing, and the other is the Qingyang Palace in Chengdu, Sichuan. There is a stele in Qingyang Palace with the words "Rootless Tree" written by Zhang Sanfeng himself. The methods of Taoist cultivation, including those involving the elderly are as follows: Rootless tree, the flowers are just slightly, and the old tree is reconnected with young shoots. Send plums to willows, mulberries to pick pears, pass on and cultivate truth. Since ancient times, gods have been planted and grafted, and old people have medicine and medicine.

Many heretics, without delving into the true meaning of this word, interpret the meaning of this word as dual cultivation of men and women, which is very wrong. When a person is old, the tree is old. The so-called restoration of vitality by grafting is to use other forces in the universe to cultivate the declining vitality, so as to achieve the purpose of enriching one's own vitality. This is the so-called utilization of spirit, qi, and spirit, that is, using the light energy in the universe to transform spirit into qi. How to borrow flowers to fix me Last time we mentioned the story of looking at flowers.

Don't think it's a joke, it's actually the meaning of the tree's re-grafting of twigs. When a person looks at flowers, he withdraws the light energy in his eyes to the back of his brain. This power can stimulate the balance of the pituitary gland. Maintaining this state of balanced rest, one can feel that one's breathing gradually changes from thick to thin, and finally reaches a state where it seems to stop. At this time, when you have grasped the work, you will reach the state of one yang coming back, and the vitality of your own life will be activated. The so-called "plums sending willows" and "mulberry picking pears" are a kind of power borrowed from the universe to create the power of life growth when they are alive.

Modern medicine has proved that the adrenal gland and gonadal hormones are related to the essence, but they also have an absolute relationship with the pituitary gland. Borrowing the light energy of the universe to ignite the vitality of one's own life, isn't this the grafting method? This is exactly the principle of "communication with the spirit of heaven and earth". So, why bother about looking at flowers? Looking at trees, grass, the empty sky, and even a pile of cow dung, isn't it all to receive the light energy between heaven and earth? The important key is not what to look at, but how to look at it to get the effect of grafting.

Light, God and Soul With the help of the light energy between heaven and earth, when a person's life can be triggered, this light energy has special significance, and is also closely related to the "shen" of the spirit and spirit. The "God" in "Huang Ting" and "Nei Jing" is by no means a religious god. The current Western medicine is devoted to the study of how to use light energy to treat diseases. But the question of the so-called "God" is still in the scope of spiritual science and mysticism. If one day, the study of Western spirituality can be successfully and confirmed through scientific experiments, then science will also enter a new era.

If that day comes, the definitions of philosophy and so-called religions will also face a situation of rewriting. Transcendent Meditation Healing You can see that American newspapers and magazines often publish American research and fanaticism on meditation. The meditation that is popular in the United States is called transcendental meditation, which is a meditation method of yoga. This kind of transcendent meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce the amount of oxygen consumed by people. Therefore, if you want to go into space, it is very useful to learn to sit still. The application of transcendental meditation to medicine is called hibernation therapy.

Hibernation therapy is used to treat patients when doctors find that all medicines are ineffective. The so-called hibernation therapy is to push the patient into a specific hibernation therapy room for three or more days. After entering this room, the patient enters hibernation. In fact, qigong healing, as well as the so-called hibernation therapy, are all Chinese Taoist things. If they are developed in conjunction with acupuncture and moxibustion, the future is limitless. head and god The human body is divided into three parts, which respectively represent the spirit, energy and spirit.

The gods are mainly in the head, the qi is mainly in the chest, and the essence is mainly in the lower part. According to "The Rootless Tree", man is rootless. Are people really rootless?No, the root of man is above, and what the human body represents, the brain is God, but the root of man goes up from the brain and enters the void. Therefore, the root of human beings is in the void, and it is also the root of spiritual consciousness. In terms of the principles of acupuncture and moxibustion, the head is the head of all yang, the most important place, and also represents the "God".

The importance of two legs It is unimaginable how great the lower limbs of the human body are. The baby sleeps in the cradle, keeps raising his legs, rocking up and down from side to side, like dancing, but he never knows how tired he is. It is mentioned in the "Neijing" that the baby's qi is in the legs. When a person reaches middle age, the strength of his legs weakens, and the movement of his legs also decreases virtually. He likes to sit on the sofa and often rests his legs. In old age, it is even more unimaginable. Sitting on the sofa is not enough. Two legs have to be raised on the table, because the human body ages from the bottom of the feet, and the death of a person is also gradual, starting from the feet and going upwards.

In the Buddhist consciousness-only theory, it is said that "knowledge", "warmth" and "shou" are integrated. Once the cold touch of the human body starts, it will gradually become paralyzed. Therefore, the weakness of a person's legs is the beginning of aging. In other words, if an old man's legs are still warm and strong, it proves to be a phenomenon of longevity. Ghost spirit Confucius said in the "Book of Changes: Biography": "Essence and energy are things, and wandering souls are changes. This is the state of knowing ghosts and gods." Regarding the question of the soul, we often hear people say: Does a certain person have courage, and whether a certain person is courageous enough! Doesn't that mean alive or not?It contains the main points and factors of qi and essence. Let's take the word "ghost" again, and everything starts with the word "tian". Developing from the field downward, wearing a crooked hat on it is a ghost character. The divine character of Chinese characters is from the beginning, one is the sky, one is added to one, and the three paintings below the vertical image are the vertical display that symbolizes the sky.Adding the word Shen on the right side, it is the character of God, and God means up and down. That is to say, according to the celestial phenomena, mastering up, down, left, and right is a god. When people's vitality is full, it becomes "Qi", and the movement of Qi becomes "God". Use the method of "God" to breathe back and forth to fill the body with Qi. Qi is the energy of life, and it can be transformed into a god. awe-inspiring spirit Everyone knows the words of Mencius: Cultivate my noble spirit. There are quite a few people who talked about raising qi in ancient times. Zhuangzi and Liezi both talked about raising qi. What Zhuangzi said, people can raise qi and become a real person, which is equivalent to saying that people who don’t know how to raise qi are fake people, or at least live in vain. What is night air?It was Zishi, the time when the sun came and went, and the night was as quiet as water. At that time, the awe-inspiring energy of the universe filled the space between the heaven and the earth. How important it was for those who cultivated energy. Experienced people can judge the change of time through the sense of smell of the nose. For example, in ancient times, when traveling at night, there were no clocks. Some people could smell the air hard to know what time it is. Because the changes of heaven and earth are reflected in the taste of air, they have their own commonalities. Benefits of big nostrils There is a saying in the book of reading, that if the nostrils are big, you can see grandchildren but not children. That is to say, people with big nostrils live longer and often live longer than their sons, so they don't see their grandchildren. The size of the nostrils is related to qi. In yoga, there are special training nostrils, which is the principle of qigong training. When training the in and out of qi, pay attention to the thin, long and slow inhalation, and the contraction of the lower abdomen. At this time, the qi has entered the twelve meridians. When exhaling, be quick, urgent, and fierce. The general training method is to breathe through the left nose for the first half of the day, and breathe through the right nose for the second half of the day, pressing the other nostril with your fingers. For a long time, he used his dantian to breathe, and he could feel the position of acupuncture points. The qi training of yoga and qigong mentioned here are all the qi of air, not the qi of essence and spirit. The Method of Qigong in Treating Lung Diseases Lung disease is no longer a problem. There are too many types of medicines and more treatments. But in the past years, lung disease was a troublesome thing. The qigong treatment introduced here has cured many lung disease patients. Make a fist with your right hand, put your thumbs up, and place it at the height of the lower ends of the swollen shoulders on the back, at the center of the spine. Make a fist with your left hand on your navel. At this time, I started to smell the air with the muscles of the nostrils, and I smelled it loudly, as if I smelled the same delicious dish and wanted to smell it more. Smell the breath like this six times in a row, and then exhale the sound of "呵" at the mouth. Continue to do this for thirty-six times in a row (six exhales and one bah is one time), that is, the whole body is smooth, and even sweating. If a person who has difficulty breathing before, after thirty-six breathing exercises, the nostrils will be unimpeded. If you are a patient with lung disease and cannot perform qigong in a standing posture, you can try it lying on the bed, and the effect will be the same. fine confusion In ancient China, what was valued was "God", in the Middle Ages, what was valued was "Qi", and after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, what was valued most was "Jing". Unfortunately, the essence mentioned after the Song and Yuan Dynasties violated the original meaning, and became the semen of men and the eggs of women, which made the meaning of essence narrow and superficial. Later Song said: The four images and the five elements are all borrowed from the soil, Nine palaces and eight trigrams are inseparable from Ren. In fact, essence and blood include the endocrine system of hormones and vitamins. Essence is produced from the bottom of the feet. The Yongquan point on the foot and the Huiyin point (also known as Xuwei point, which is the name of the constellation) are the parts where the essence begins to grow. From bottom to top, you reach the sea bottom point, which is the base point of life energy. Most people have never activated this base point in their lifetime. If they can activate it, they will definitely rejuvenate their youth. Moreover, after the activation of the sea bottom energy, people can always keep happy and encounter unpleasant things. Also not affected. This is the unit of life, the same as the laws of the universe.
