Methods of spiritual health in Chinese medicine

One, clear mind and quiet God

Clear mind and quiet God, that is, to keep the mind and spirit quiet, and reasonable use of God. And the clear and quiet refers to the mental mood to maintain a state of calmness and tranquility, is the quiet of the mind, need to practice to be able to achieve. Because the spirit and qi is clear and quiet without distracting thoughts, it can achieve the purpose of real qi memory body, mind and spirit peace. We advocate the clear mind is mainly the spirit of the mind is not moving, with but, the idea of concentration, to exclude distractions, can not see the different thoughts, thinking about the wrong, so that you can concentrate on work and study.

In recent years, more and more research on the relationship between peace of mind and health. Physiological studies have confirmed that people in the quiet after the center of life activities of the brain and restore to the slow wave state of the brain waves of the childhood era, that is, the human aging indicators have been "reversed". Social surveys found that after a major mental setbacks and ideological blow, but also did not get a good spiritual regimen, the incidence of a variety of diseases have increased significantly. Therefore, only often to maintain a clear mind, regulate the spirit of health, practicing qigong, can effectively enhance the ability to resist disease, reduce the incidence of disease, beneficial to physical and mental health.

Clearing the mind and quieting the spirit, specifically, includes the following two aspects:

1, less thought and less desire

Less selfishness, refers to the reduction of selfishness and distraction; less desire, is to reduce the desire for fame, fortune and materialistic desires. The term "less selfish and less desirous" was first seen in Laozi's "Tao Te Ching". According to Chinese medicine, delusional thoughts and desires come from the heart, and more than one desire will disturb the essence, which is not conducive to a long and healthy life. This is because selfishness is too heavy, desires are too high or too many, and when they fail to achieve their goals, they will produce bad emotions such as melancholy, fantasy, disappointment, sadness, bitterness, etc., which will disturb the clear and quiet God, and put the mind in endless chaos, leading to disorders of the qi and the onset of illness. If you can reduce selfishness and desire, from a practical point of view, abstaining from selfish desires and the luxury of fame and fortune, you can reduce the unnecessary burden of thought, so that people become open-minded, relaxed, thereby promoting physical and mental health. We can often see around those who live a long life of the elderly, although they are full of silver, but still rosy cheeks, hale and hearty. This has a lot to do with their bright and open-minded, open-minded character, no desire to have a great relationship with the spiritual realm.

2, suppression of the eye and quiet ear, mind convergence

Nurturing the heart, that is, the maintenance of the mind; convergence of thoughts, that is, concentrate on the mind, exclude distractions, expulsion of worries, the heart and soul of the inner guard. To maintain the mind within the guard, should pay attention to avoid external things on the mind of the bad ***. Eyes and ears are the main organs of the mind to receive external ***, Chinese medicine believes that its function is subject to the domination and regulation of the mind. Because people live in society, people get along, ear and eye contact, are to be reflected in the brain, thus affecting the mind, so the ears and eyes are quiet, do not let trivial things linger in the heart, naturally, will make the mood comfortable, relaxed. Concentration of the health method, not ignorance, no desire, no ideals, no ambition, no spiritual support of the empty time, nor is it full of food, no work. It refers to the study and work when the concentration, the desire to throw aside the fame and fortune, the mind within the guard, the mind is quiet; in the study and work of the spare time, sent to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, birds and insects, interest, natural concentration and determination, trivial matters can not interfere with, but also conducive to stabilizing the mind, which is known as the "movement in the pursuit of static, static to raise the movement," the law, this method for those who are retired from work and have no desire, no ambition, no spiritual support. This method is particularly suitable for those who are retired from the home self-feeling inactive elderly.

The development of modern science has proved that this method of self-regulation can avoid the interference of external factors on the spirit, so that the human physiological functions in a good state. Only the spirit of quiet, calm and gentle, God with a dedicated, exclude distractions in order to achieve quiet and tune, open-minded, clear and optimistic, so not only conducive to learning and work, but also to make the overall coordination, regular life, contributing to the health of the long life.

Second, Yi-nurturing mood

Yi-nurturing mood, that is, to maintain a comfortable and happy mood, and respond to changes in the outside world ***, appropriate control of emotions, in order to regulate their own emotional activities. Emotions, also known as emotions, it is a person in contact with and understanding of objective things when the spirit of psychological reflection. Seven emotions and six desires, all people have, in general, belong to the normal psychophysiological phenomenon. Because the expression of feelings is common sense, is the performance of instinct, and a variety of emotional activities are to express their feelings and play a role in coordinating physiological activities.

1, the regulation of seven feelings

Seven feelings, that is, joy, anger, worry, thoughts, fear, sadness, shock seven kinds of emotional changes. The seven emotions are different emotional responses of the human body to objective things. In general, human emotions can maintain a relatively stable state. However, a sudden strong or long lasting mental ***, and more than the body's own mental capacity, so that the qi reversal, dysfunction, will lead to the occurrence of disease, and even life-threatening. For example, we live and work, can often see the temper of the people, often red in the face and ears, and even fainting, which is called "anger hurts the liver" in Chinese medicine. In addition, like people meet happy events, excited and induced heart disease, said "happy sad"; depressed and overthinking and no appetite, "thinking hurts the spleen"; sadness and grief led to chest tightness and suffocation, it is "sadness hurts lungs "; suddenly suffered a shock to incontinence, called "fear of injury to the kidneys".

It is for this reason that Chinese health care attaches great importance to the regulation of the seven emotions, and summarized a set of emotional victory over the spiritual treatment method. To win the mood, is the use of emotions belonging to the five viscera, five viscera belong to the five elements, and the five elements of the mutual capitalization, mutual constraints, the mood is also corresponding to the mutual capitalization, mutual constraints, so as to lift the cause of the emotional illness caused by the emotional disease, so that the restoration or rebuild the balance of the state of mind and body. Such as joy for the heart, the five elements of fire, but too extreme is sad gas and heart yin. Fear, the five elements of water, water and fire, and fear of making the gas timid, can avoid the confrontation with the phenomenon of overjoy, exactly water folding fire, so there is "fear over joy" therapy, which also coincides with today's emotional transfer method.

2, and smooth temperament

Maintaining a good mood, optimistic approach to life, is essential to the cultivation of life, but also health and disease prevention, life extension of important factors. Confucius believes that optimism has a forgetfulness and do not know the old health role, optimism can also make the blood flow, nourish the spirit, so that the spirit and tone, the chest is comfortable, long time to prevent a variety of diseases, in order to enjoy the days of life. Especially the elderly, to the old, discard the sense of twilight and withdrawal of thought and emotion, in the leisure time to participate in a variety of elegant, static and static combination of recreational activities, in order to cultivate the sentiment. If you want to enjoy music, calligraphy and painting, planting flowers and birds, playing chess and fishing, as well as traveling and so on.
