Law: follow the example. Taoist health care is to follow the example of nature and comply with nature, in line with the four seasons, back to basics, health is the match between man and nature and compliance.
The law of man is the law of the earth
It means that man should take the earth as the law. Spring, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter, health is to comply with this law. In the spring, the earth's Yang Qi rises, the earth's strength is restored, people have to go to the plow, to comply with the growth of flowers. In summer, everything is vigorous, green and lush, the human body and the whole earth are in a "vigorous" state. Autumn harvest, winter storage, autumn fruit ripening, is the harvest season, we talk about "stick autumn fat", that is to say that in this season means maturity in time to cultivate the body and nourish the nature. In winter, a heavy snow cover the earth, the whole earth force into the state of nourishment and rest, for the next year's restoration of good preparation.
The earth follows the law of heaven
Why does the earth follow such a sequence of seasons? All flowers bloom in spring because it rains in the sky; everything is lush and green in summer because the sun is at its coolest; the fruits ripen in fall, and after spring birth and summer growth, it is natural to harvest at this time of the year; and everything recuperates in winter because it snows in the sky and covers the earth.
The law of heaven is the law of the road, and the law of the road is the law of nature
Harmony between man and nature. It is said that the harmony between man and nature, in accordance with such a law, in line with the whole of nature `conditioning, is the most healthy, the most intelligent. Nowadays, people often mention "Chinese medicine health". Chinese medicine is not Chinese medicine, but the medicine of the middle. It is about harmonization, balance in the system, and cyclic conditioning. It will not treat the symptoms but not the root cause, will not see a superficial attack on its point.
"Butterfly effect". The human body itself is an organic world, we have heard of the butterfly effect, that is, on this shore of the ocean, the butterfly wings, triggering changes in the air flow throughout the ocean, the other side of the ocean may appear tsunami. The same is true for the human body. Sneezing or shedding tears may be the result of a problem in one of the major functions of the body. Therefore, it is very crucial to treat our individual life as a whole scientific system to adjust and balance.
Compliance with the order of things. The liver, gallbladder, lungs and internal organs on the human body, and various meridians, all have their most active time and law. It is just according to the "sunrise, sunset and rest" this ancient Chinese most simple way to do. As long as the conformity of this material order, eat what tonic is not as healthy as dietary supplements; do how much skin care and beauty, are not as good as the most solid sleep.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good feeling for your body and mind. There is no lack of such modern people around us: summer, pulling the thick curtains, the temperature is very low in the air-conditioned room office, I do not know outside the window sunshine; winter, the room heating is very full, the nature of the ice and snow has no concept; exercise, that is, sit dozens of layers of elevators, go to the gym to run; eating, that is, eating, and then eat a lot of weight-loss pills. Modern people complicate the simple life, become no longer simple. In fact, health is one of the most simple things, it needs a kind of wisdom, especially need an open mood.
Follow the laws of nature. You see all the plants, have to photosynthesize, people are the same, often go to grounding is the most healthy thing. Let's go back to a kind of nakedness, the baby state is the healthiest. When I didn't have children I didn't understand why I always heard that children lacked calcium, and that they still lacked it even after taking all kinds of calcium. After I had a child myself, I realized that the most important thing to do with calcium is to go outside and get some sunlight! If you don't get sunlight, you can't absorb it. This is a good example, a baby's growth, is the closest to the original state of plants and animals, human beings are a kind of mammal, we survive in the world of the law, and all the plants and animals, do not artificially to break the law. Let us return to a state of greater closeness and integration with nature, not more guarded, more resistant.
Integration into nature. There is an innate closeness between the Chinese and nature. In this matter we might as well follow the example of the ancients, more to see the outside world, spring flowers, fall and moon, will pass through your life.
In the spring, we can be like Li Bai said: "two people to drink mountain flowers, a cup a cup again. I am drunk and want to sleep Qing and go, tomorrow morning intention to hold the qin to come." If people can be so clear wind and moon, serenity to see the rosy mountain flowers, then your mood will also be like flowers bloom.
In the fall, you can be like Du Fu: "Shake down the deep knowledge of Song Yu sad, style Confucianism is also my teacher. Disappointed in a thousand autumns a sprinkling of tears, the depression of different generations at the same time." Feel the autumn wind and autumn leaves swept from your heart, a glance to break the thousand years, you can have the same sadness as Song Yu, you will have a more cherish.
At night, we can look up to see the stars and the moon, and experience Zhang Ruoxu's query: "The river and the sky are colorless, bright and clear in the air, the lonely moon wheel. The river is the first to see the moon, the river is the first moon to shine on people. Life is endless from generation to generation, and the river and the moon are only similar year after year. I don't know who the river and the moon are waiting for, but I can see the Yangtze River sends flowing water." If we really have such a pursuit, then the moon into the heart, you will become sparse and bright.
If we can really be in the middle of the blue mountains, like Xin Qiji said, "I see the green mountains more charming, I expect the green mountains to see me should be like this." You and the green mountains look at each other, can see the green mountains have a different flavor, then you melt into the mountains. If you and your friends are able to appreciate the beauty of this place, instead of going into a concert hall to listen to man-made orchestral music, as Li Bai said, "The monk of Shu held the green silk and went down to Emei Peak in the west. I waved my hand for me, like listening to the pines in ten thousand ravines. The guest's heart washes the flowing water, and the remaining sound goes into the frost. I don't realize that the blue mountains are in the dusk, and the autumn clouds are dark for several times." This all thumped into the heart, you and the natural integration.
For modern people, this world certainly, but we just do not go, we are always closed in the noisy city, how can we have Wang Wei's state of mind, see "the bright moon shining between the pines, the clear springs flowing from the stone", how can we "people idle osmanthus flowers fall, the night quiet spring mountain empty! "The heart of the ancients could be quiet enough to hear the osmanthus flowers fall to the ground.
Back to basics. For this reason, the refusal of hustle and bustle, revert to tranquility, refuse luxury, return to the basics, which is probably a kind of homework that our modern people can do to maintain their health. When the whole world is using the addition of time, health is the need to use subtraction, to learn to cut off the complexity of the external things, in the simplest way to comply with nature.
Love nature and life. At the same time, to be healthy, it is very important to "love". To maintain a delicate sensitivity to the spring flowers, autumn and moon, to maintain a child-like innocence, then these ancient poems depicted in the realm, will come to your side. Jikang said: "The eye sends the return of the Hong, hand waving five strings. Pitching himself up and down, he swims in the heart of Taixuan." A person, hand waving the strings, eyes with the return of broken geese disappeared in the sky, will "look up to see the greatness of heaven and earth, down to observe the prevalence of the category, look up to the end of the universe, not happy again how". It expresses an attitude and way of life, we look at these ancient people, they are healthy and simple, they are confident and vigorous, they are bright and naive as a child, in their way to enlighten the future generations before the ages.
