The two-day all-weather meditation experience class ended like this. I returned to my busy work as planned. It was a bit regretful that I failed to participate in the last five days of practice, so I could only renew my previous relationship next time!

3 to 7th, the interval between work at home has also increased the two rest methods of walking and meditation. After comparison and reflection, I prescribed the following five "prescriptions" for myself.

1. Return to the root and seek the inner

Heart diseases also require heart medicine. If you taste the sweetness and bitterness of meditation, and know the benefits of quietness, you should practice it well.

The sour, numbness, swelling and pain encountered during meditation, and more spiritual feelings, all belong to the level of the mind. Now that I can realize it, it means that the god who is mastered by the mind is still a wise monarch. It can detect and reflect any movement or even movement of the body. It really corresponds to the saying: The heart is the official of the monarch, and the gods come from it. Accept them first without judgment.

Secondly, experience "Lao Tzu Sixteen" again:

"Everyone returns to their roots, returning to their roots is called quiet, quiet is called replying to their fate, and returning to their fate is called constant, knowing constant is called bright. If you don't know constant, you will be abusive."

Sit in meditation, between this breath and inhalation, the big return to their roots is about small return to their roots. When you are too tired, it is still necessary to find this opportunity to "return to their lives". This prescription is used every day when working overtime during this holiday, and the effect is significant.

2. Adjust

for two consecutive days found that no matter how you sit incense, single-handed or loose-handed, or the left leg is outside or the right leg is on the top, the chances are that the left leg is paralyzed first, stiff, and the qi and blood are seriously insufficient compared to the right leg.

Originally, the idea of ​​using internal acupuncture to treat left and right is given, and acupuncture from the right is used to regulate the qi and blood. But after returning home, I found that this situation had changed. The probability of numbness on both sides was quite good. Considering different factors such as the seat cushion and the environment, I had to continue to observe for a period of time. In short, it is to harmonize yin and yang. You don’t have to use needles, but you can also use pointers.

3.Walking quickly

When practicing incense, you have to walk quickly in the inner circle to keep up with the rhythm without affecting others. The outer circle is relatively large, and you are not easy to make mistakes and don’t have to be beaten. There is a walking fragrance after drinking tea or sitting incense every time. Walking quickly is easier to relieve fatigue, concentrate on practicing, and reduce distracting thoughts than walking slowly.

So I went out to walk around the morning and evening these days, walking for a while, swaying for a while, and simulating the fragrance of walking. Even when working from home, I walk clockwise at home from time to time (on the wooden floor of the Zen hall, we always wear socks and walk. It feels good to take root on the floor, and sometimes it also flows to the toes, which is more down-to-earth). It feels good. Teacher Li Xin once recommended basking the moon, haha~ Go out for a walk towards the moon at night.

4. Eat less meat

After eating for two days, and with continuous meditation, the situation of spitting in the past has been much less, and even the situation of sneezing and running nose has almost disappeared. Some friends said that their habits may have changed due to the environment, but after returning home, they sneezed and spitted significantly. After testing, it was true that phlegm would occur after eating too much meat. At noon, try to eat vegetarian food as much as possible to see how it improves after a period of time.

Of course, dinner basically contains meat, so drink tea in moderation to relieve the greasiness of meat.

5. Complaint less about

When practicing together in the Zen Hall, some noises will appear, such as a senior brother accidentally hiccups , sneezing, coughing, etc., the Great Buddha Temple in the downtown city, the bustling traffic outside the window, and the crowds are really loud. Master Wentong said, "Don't be moved." Calm down, stop talking, and feel resentful.

Later, I happened to meet a senior brother Sanhe shared the book "Liu Yousheng's Speech". Liu Dashanren mentioned that spleen and stomach problems come from a resentment. You should comfort yourself when encountering unsatisfactory things, don't complain outside, everything must have cause and effect. Looking back at the bad spleen and stomach, most of them have emotional "credits" and especially complaints. In this regard, I reflect on my daily life towards my husband, which is a living example. I need to pay more attention in the future.

Finally, although I prescribed five "prescriptions" for myself, everyone understands that as time goes by, the prescriptions are not static. Adjust in time and find the most suitable way for me at the moment!

In short, in the process of harmonizing yin and yang, you must always think about your own opinions and practice more!
