What is Wellness? How to maintain health?
Some people understand that exercising, no disease and no disaster, and a long life.
Zen Master Zongyan of the Yuan Dynasty said: "The birth and death of a person is like a drop of water, and it is born and extinguished, and it returns to water." ”In this life, people are like a drop of water, starting from a spring, passing through streams, rivers, and lakes, and returning to ***
Live according to the laws of nature, relaxed, indifferent, not entangled in the length of life, not afraid of the wind and rain on the road of life.
PhilosopherZhuangziI have always admired the theory of "Tao", before I passed away, said"I take heaven and earth as coffins, the sun and the moon as the continuum, the stars as pearls, and all things as gifts. ”It fully embodies the principle of human obedience to nature.
It is not difficult to find that health preservation is not a confrontation with life, but a matter of going with the flow.
People live their lives and respect the laws of nature.
There is a story in Zhuangzi "The Master of Health".
There was a chef Ding, at Wen Huijun's banquet, who performed the trick of cutting beef.
The knife is up, the beef falls, and the sound of cutting the meat is very in tune with the dance of "Mulberry Forest" and the song of "Jingshou".
Wen Huijun praised: "Why are your skills so superb?" ”
Chef Ding said, "I, when I first started doing this job, my eyes were all cows. I practiced hard for three years, and when I went to see the cow again, I only had the skeleton and structure of the cow in my eyes. Now, with my eyes closed, I can dissect cows according to my inner thoughts. In the body of the cow, there are gaps, I know very well, and the knife can avoid the cow bones. ”
Chef Ding added, "My knife has been used for 19 years, and it is still extremely sharp. Other people's knives, always chopping bones, broke in a few days. ”
Wen Huijun said"After listening to your words, I understand the truth of health preservation." ”
How is cutting beef and health care linked? What kind of health preservation principles did Wen Huijun understand?
Zhuangzi revealed the answer"The governor thinks that he can protect himself, he can live his whole life, he can support his relatives, and he can live his whole life." ”
Protecting life in accordance with the way of nature can also preserve nature, thereby preserving people's vitality and achieving the purpose of recuperating in the future.Specifically, there are three principles.
First, the knife is used in the weakest place, which is the least time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effect is the best.
Second, avoiding hard places can protect sharp and fragile blades.
Third, be very focused on doing things, and when cutting beef, don't think about other things, that is, the huge image of the cow, and forget it.
The knife also represents the human body.
When using the body, avoid hard objects to avoid injury;Attack weak points and make your body feel at ease;Be single-minded and don't be bothered by external objects.
Do it the way things are, with ease. Let's say, go down the river and travel a thousand miles in a day;Blowing with the wind, the sound travels farther.
In order to live a lifetime, people must apply the laws of nature.
If life is to be maintained, don't toss around, don't confront the law of life development.
So, how do you go with the flow?
Natural mentality: human nature is inherently good.
Zhuangzi said: "There is no near name for good, and there is no near punishment for evil." ”Don't try to be famous if you do good things, and don't be afraid of punishment if you do bad things. As long as you live with kindness, everything will be fine.
As the Ming Dynasty health practitioner Lu Kun also said"Benevolence can live a long life, and virtue can prolong life." ”
If you maintain kindness, then you will be pleasing to everyone, you will not be angry when you get along with villains, and you will not "return a tooth for a tooth" to those who calculate you.
Emotions are excluded and no annoyance is made by anyone. Your life will be stable and your heart will be quiet.
If everything you look at is a landscape, then there is nothing bad in your heart.
Be a forgetful, less resentful, non-comparable, and thoughtless person, let go of one thought, and be free in every way.
Life expectancy is natural: do not seek 10,000 years.
The emperor was high above and accepted the courtesy of the ministers: "Long live my emperor." ”
The slogan is very good, but don't take it seriously, no one lives to live for 10,000 years.
The ancients also said that longevity is humiliating. If you live too long, your body will be sick, your children and grandchildren will be irritable, and you will not have enough money, and you will be really irritable.
In his later years, Tang Zhongzong was obsessed with Taoism, believed in some heresies of Zheng Pusi, and always took pills.
Minister Li Yong said: "Your Majesty, if you can live for 10,000 years, then so can your ancestors." The rivers and mountains are not yours yet, but the emperors of the Han Dynasty, or the emperors of Liang Wu. ”
A word wakes up the dreamer. It's better to enjoy three meals a day, and don't take the pill seriously.
Can you really live forever, and don't Taoist priests satisfy themselves first?Look at which Taoist priest, who has lived for 10,000 years, you will have a number in your heart.
Physical Nature: Exercise Reasonably.
Many old people get together to dance and play mahjong. I thought that dancing was for good health, and playing mahjong could move my brain.
But let's be clear, not everyone is suitable for dancing. For example, an elderly person with a lesion in his knee will harm himself by dancing and will not be able to walk; People with high blood pressure, when playing mahjong, get emotional and get into trouble.
According to the condition of the body, it is wise to design a workout routine for yourself.
The life of a pheasant is written in Zhuangzi.
Pheasants can eat by walking ten steps, and drinking water by walking a hundred steps, but they do not envy the chickens in their cages. Even in the cage, food is everywhere, and it is available without taking a step.
Because life in a cage is unhappy and does not conform to the pheasant's lifestyle.
Don't live your own life in other people's ways, and don't impose your own way of life on others; Foreign objects are used to nourish us, not to influence us, don't do the opposite.
People pass away, and human beings are endless.
"Zhuangzi Health Master" wrote: "It refers to being poor for salary, and the fire is passed on, and I don't know the end." ”The bonfire will go out, but the tinder will be preserved and will be carried forward for future generations.
People will be born, old, sick and die, but our children and grandchildren will continue, and the family business will be more prosperous, so that life and death will not be terrible.
We are very old, and in fact, the family is "pushing through the old and bringing forth the new", and we will also see grandchildren born, go to school, and grow up.
** In "Alive", it says: "As long as the family is together every day, I don't care about any blessings." ”Seeing through the truth of health preservation, not violating the law of life, everything can be relieved, and everything is the best arrangement.
Old, but grandchildren are coming; The pain came, but the understanding of life was more thorough; is about to pass away, but the children and grandchildren are more filial; I can't walk anymore, but it's also the best time to rest.
As long as the family is harmonious and the family is healthy, it is also happy to grow old.
