How to get through the second pulse of Ren Du

The first step is to exhale and pay attention to the heart.

1. method. Prepare to practice, relax, concentrate and keep your thoughts in it. When you exhale, your consciousness tends to the heart as you exhale.

2. Time. If you want to finish the first step of exercise as scheduled, you must make certain arrangements in time. If conditions permit, it is more helpful to practice at a fixed time every day and form a habit. It doesn't matter if there is no fixed time, as long as you take the time to practice. It is required to be 20 minutes three times a day in the morning and evening. If you operate carefully, you can complete the first step in a week or so.

3. effect. In the first few days, because they were not used to it and their posture was not accurate enough, some comrades felt dizzy, their backs were sore, their breathing was unnatural, and the tip of their tongue could not touch the upper jaw. This is a natural phenomenon. Don't worry, as long as you keep exercising as required, you will get better slowly.

The second step is to follow the trend of Tian Dan.

1. method. Every exhalation starts from the heart socket, and pay attention to the abdomen when exhaling.

2. Time. Practice three times a day, 25 minutes or half an hour each time, and you will be able to calm down in a week or so.

3. effect. Because the true qi has passed through the stomach area, the function of the spleen and stomach has been improved. After the true qi sinks into the abdomen, the organs around the abdomen, such as large intestine, kidney, bladder, etc., gradually undergo physiological changes, and generally feel an increase in appetite; Abnormal defecation has also been improved to varying degrees.

The third step is to concentrate on pranayama and keep your abdomen.

1. method. Pay attention to the abdomen when exhaling, but avoid sending it down too hard to avoid excessive abdominal fever and consumption of vaginal fluid.

2. Time. Three times a day or more. More than half an hour at a time. This period is the stage of cultivating Tian Chan's strength. It takes a long time, and you can feel the fullness and strength of the lower abdomen in about a month.

3. effect. Because the pulse condition is smooth, the heart and kidney intersect, the middle qi is vigorous, the mind is peaceful and the sleep is quiet. Anyone who suffers from heart fire, insomnia, dreaminess and unhealthy heart has improved. By constantly supplying heat energy to the stomach and intestines, the digestion and absorption capacity of the spleen and stomach can be enhanced, the weight can be increased, the spirit can be full, and the kidney function can be enhanced. Impotence has been greatly improved, and irregular menstruation in women has been improved to varying degrees. Kidney full of water, liver proud. Therefore, at this stage, patients with chronic hepatitis and early cirrhosis have improved significantly. Keep exercising and recover naturally.

The fourth step, don't forget to reply to the governor.

1. method. In principle, we should follow the third step. When the true qi goes up along the Du meridian, consciousness should follow the upward force. This is, don't forget. If you stop somewhere, don't use your head to guide you. This is not a rib.

2. Time. The number of daily exercises can be appropriately increased, and the time of each exercise should be extended to about 40 minutes or an hour. Everyone's situation is different, and the time and intensity of being in power cannot be the same. Some people passed in an instant, with great force and great vibration. Some people spend a little longer on supervision, and the intensity is not great. Most of them passed the governor in about ten days.

3. effect. After Tong Du, you breathe the true qi into the abdomen and into your mind, but don't pursue it deliberately, forming a cycle of Ren Du for a while, which is called "Zhou Xiaotian" by the health care community. Only in this case, can we feel the actual situation of "breathing essence, independent wake". The true qi constantly nourishes the brain marrow, and the instinctive strength of the cerebral cortex is enhanced. Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, forgetfulness, backache and leg weakness, irregular menstruation, mental trance, irritability, palpitation, shortness of breath and loss of libido caused by kidney essence deficiency and endocrine disorders can all be improved. Long-term persistence can lead to recovery. Because the meridians are unobstructed, some chronic diseases that can't be cured for many years can also be cured quickly with obvious effects. Generally speaking, he is energetic and light.

The fifth step is to recharge your batteries.

The so-called Yuan God is the instinctive power of the brain to regulate and control. Against knowing god. Knowing God is a conscious mental state. Yuan God and knowing God are the relationship between body and use, Yuan God is the body and knowing God is the use. The fourth step, the channels and collaterals have been opened, and the kidney qi continuously irrigates the brain marrow, constantly supplementing Shen Yuan's strength. Only when the heart governs the gods and the heart shines on the brain can it play its comprehensive regulatory role.

1. method. In principle, it is better to keep the abdomen. Dantian is part of a long-term intention. After dredging the Du meridian, all the meridians were opened one after another. If Baihui point (Shangdantian) on the top of the head is active, it can also protect the top of the head. You can master it flexibly. This is the so-called "desire to see wonders, but you don't want to see them".

2. Time. Three times a day, or more, for an hour or more each time. Generally speaking, the longer the better. About a month or so, all kinds of touching phenomena in the body can gradually disappear, leaving only the strength of the lower abdomen and upper abdomen more concentrated and powerful.

3. effect. According to the performance of the body, especially the magnetic attraction between Dantian and Baihui points on the top of the head, the instinctive strength of the cerebral cortex is enhanced, and the endocrine is coordinated and vigorous. This power is tangible and colorful. The deeper the kung fu, the more obvious and lively it is, the more it can regulate the physiological function of the whole body and the more abundant the true qi is. It can constantly compensate and enhance the metabolic function of the body and give full play to the potential strength of the body. Due to vigorous vitality and enhanced immunity against diseases, general pathogenic factors can be reduced or even avoided, and the original chronic diseases can be improved or cured. Persisting in exercise can achieve physical and mental health and prolong life.

The above five steps are a basic overview of the static practice process of qi-moving method. In practice, because everyone's physique is different and the specific situation is different, the effect and performance vary from person to person. In view of this, when practicing martial arts, we should conform to nature and use it flexibly, and we should not deliberately arrest it; At the same time, we must be patient and persistent, and we must not let ourselves go. This is the key to success.

Practice posture

Beginners should have a correct posture in the operation of qi, which is the normal state of novices. There are four forms of practicing Qi: walking, standing, sitting and lying, in which sitting is the main form, supplemented by other postures. In order to effectively promote the continuous progress of qi movement, besides sitting posture, various methods can be adopted at any time and place.

1, sit. There are two kinds of sitting posture: cross-legged posture and hanging leg posture, which are mainly selected according to personal habits and environmental conditions. It is generally believed that sitting cross-legged is too formal and prone to numbness. So it is more convenient to sit with hanging legs (chairs and stools).

(1) Sit cross-legged. "Double dish" means to put your left foot on your right thigh, then move your right foot to your left thigh and put your hands together in front of your lower abdomen. This kind of sitting posture is just to sit firmly and unshakable, but it is not easy to do without considerable effort. "Single disc" means putting your right leg on your left leg, and the gesture is the same as before. This is easier to do than dual disks. "Free cross-legged" means sitting cross-legged, which is a sitting posture that most people are used to.

(2) Hang your legs and sit. Sit on chairs and stools with proper height, with the upper thigh level, the lower leg vertical and the feet parallel to the ground. The distance between the knees is subject to the fact that both fists can be put down (fist eyes are opposite). Put your palms down and naturally put them on your thighs. Shoulders droop, waist must be straight, don't push, don't hold your chest up. The jaw is miniature and the top of the head is suspended. Posture is based on correctness and naturalness. This type of posture is used in modern times.

2. Horizontal. Right side implant, leg straight, thigh bent. Bend your right arm, put your hand on the pillow in front of your head, and put your left hand on your left hip. This formula is used to help those who sit, or for those who are too weak to sit.

3. stand. There are various postures for standing, so I won't introduce them here. This paper introduces a convenient sitting posture as an auxiliary work of sitting posture. Put your feet together and put your hands on your abdomen (the palm of your left hand is on your abdomen and the heart of your right hand is on the back of your left hand). Relaxation of shoulders and elbows, stretching of chest and back, modesty and solid abdomen, eyes and semi-drooping all require the same sitting posture.

4. Linetype. Walking, looking at the three or five steps ahead, with a sharp nose and distracted. According to the walking speed, it is generally three steps and one breath. If you can exercise this method for a long time, it will be very helpful to walk a long way, and you can walk persistently for a long time.

Five senses requirements

1, oral cavity The lips are naturally closed, the upper and lower teeth are opposite, the tongue is rolled up to about 90 degrees, and the tip of the tongue is gently pressed against the palate. There is much saliva secretion. Put your tongue down and swallow it slowly.

2. eyes. Close your eyes and look inside, and you will look inside to see which part you are practicing. If the first step is to pay attention to the heart, look inside the heart.

3. ears. Pay attention to your breathing with your ears, so that your breathing won't make a rough sound. Stay calm and natural, and don't hold your breath so that you can't breathe easily. This is a good way to concentrate.

4. Take a deep breath. In the process of practicing Qi movement, we always pay attention to exhaling and inhaling, let nature take its course, pay no attention to it, and have no abuse. After the qi of dantian is enriched, it naturally runs through the governor vein. At that time, I felt a stream of true qi entering the abdomen and a stream of true qi entering the brain along the Du meridian. This is the natural activity state of qi, and there is no need to pursue it. External breathing is continuous and intensive, and it will be more natural if it exists. At this time, you don't need to pay attention to external breathing.

5. Accept the job. When you finish your work in five steps, slowly open your eyes, rub your hands, then rub your face with your hands, and finally comb your hair with your fingers for a while, then slowly stand up and move.

Practice notes

To practice the true qi operation method, we must establish firm confidence, persevere, not be eager for quick success and instant benefit, and not be afraid of difficulties. In the process of exercise, let nature take its course, don't force delusion and pursue it reluctantly. Otherwise, haste makes waste, the more impatient you pursue, the less progress you make; The more natural the mood, the more lively the true qi, and the more obvious the progress. Because persistent delusion becomes a distracting thought that disturbs the movement of qi. It is this meaning that "quell nothingness and follow the true qi."

In the process of practicing martial arts, because many physiological changes have taken place in the body, various touching phenomena have appeared, so we should treat them calmly, don't panic and don't force them. It will disappear in a short time.

1, I'm new to the method of activating qi, so I'd better have a quiet environment, because I want to concentrate. However, don't overemphasize this issue. Avoid interference from others when practicing. When pranayama, breathe through your nose, pay attention to exhaling, inhale naturally, and don't breathe through your mouth.

Be careful not to do things reluctantly when you are hungry, full, angry, surprised and other emotional impulses. Don't sit down temporarily when it is windy, rainy and thundering, for fear of giving a violent stimulus to the spirit and causing discomfort.

3. It is a rule that the true qi operation method always keeps the abdomen safe. When the true qi in the abdomen is enriched to a certain extent, it will naturally run along the meridians. The strength of this operation is based on the strength of the abdomen. Don't use consciousness to guide, let nature take its course, do whatever you want, stop whenever you want, and subjective guidance will go wrong.

4. People who use this method must preserve their physical strength and control sexual intercourse before customs clearance, so as not to affect the training process. If a woman has a period, don't stay in the lower abdomen, but stay in the middle abdomen (heart socket). No training in the middle and late pregnancy.

Mainly when the gas in the abdomen expands, the rebound force will be pushed back, continue to expand, the rebound force will be pushed back again, and so on, and finally the energy will gather at the resultant point. When energy is concentrated to a certain extent, it will produce a thing, or "squeeze out" a thing. This is "Qi". When the pressure continues to press down, the running direction of this mass body is naturally the weakest part with the least resistance. Where is the least resistance on the human body? This is the meridian. This place has the smallest resistance and the largest current. This is just the weakest link. When the pressure expands to a certain extent, squeeze this place out first, then enter the meridian and run along it. At this time, I went to the tail, went to the tail and turned a corner, and then turned back. This bend is very urgent. For example, the hose for watering flowers is far from the faucet, so the water source must be cut off. In order to save water, the hose can be folded back to reduce the flow area of water and stop the flow of water, thus achieving the purpose of temporarily cutting off the water source. Then you can turn off the tap with a pipe. The reason is exactly the same, because the tail curve is too sharp for gas to pass through. There is a very thin and narrow seam in this place, which must be pushed open. At this time, everyone will leave it alone and continue to refuel and deflate in Xiadantian. When you are full of gas, it will naturally pass. It's like a high-pressure faucet for fire fighting. If you want to bend it, neither of you can. Because the energy rushes forward, the power is great-that is, the pressure should be enough. At this time, as long as you continue to pump air into the lower abdomen and play enough, this "fold" will be opened. As soon as it is opened, the breath comes up, the volume of the gas increases, and the pressure per unit average area decreases-it can't reach the back of the waist. If the pressure is not enough, you need to continue refueling. When you pump up to a certain extent, you will feel pain in your back, because this place often sits, and a relatively flat head is stuck there. It needs to be pressurized. When the strength is enough, the channel is torn at once, and the "pulley gap" is over. After that, the gas rises again, the volume increases again, and the pressure per unit average area decreases again-to the back neck. There is also the occipital bone, and the meridian passage is relatively narrow, which is the most sad "pass" and needs to continue to cheer up in Xiadantian. As before, as long as the pressure is big enough, you can pass, but if the pressure is not big enough, you can't pass. I was so angry that my neck was sore, I had a headache and my head was buzzing. At this time, massage, acupuncture and taking any medicine are useless, and I feel very uncomfortable. And you're sitting there against your stomach, regardless of the pain. When the pressure reaches enough, there will be a special feeling: when the pressure is not enough, it hurts badly and continues to pressurize. When the pressure reached that moment, I suddenly felt that my head and body were infinite, as if there was nothing in my body, and I felt particularly comfortable. At the same time, I also found a feature. I inhale through my nose, but I don't breathe. It seems that I can't breathe for half an hour. If you want to exhale, you can still breathe after trying to exhale for a long time. At this time, I entered a state of "fetal interest". This is "Ren Mai".

Ren Du's second pulse "is bound to enter the fetal interest". The Taoist book makes it very clear. "Ren Mai" is "connected". If there is no process of "fetal interest" to tell you, then this "Ren Duer pulse" is definitely irrelevant. In addition, there is another feature. The second pulse of Ren Du leads to "no disease at all"-basically no disease. When the "Rendur pulse" is opened, there may still be some problems in the arms and legs, but other problems in the internal organs will not appear again. This is the characteristic of "Ren Mai".

Because this air is running, it will walk inside the body, and you can understand the process of its walking inside. Then you plan to follow, and after a long time, you will realize where your governor is. At this time, you are familiar with the running channel of qi. It doesn't matter whether you turn it fast or slow, forward or backward. Qi is walking in your meridians. This is how Tongren Du came from-"No mistakes, no help, nothing out of thin air". If you want it from the beginning, it may run in the meridians for a short time, and the result is that your vitality is exhausted. Therefore, "work comes naturally" and kung fu comes naturally. You are looking forward to it, but you may not come.
