"Healthy and long-lived, forever youthful"
Youth is the dream that every modern person wants to pursue, because health brings happiness, illness makes people miserable, and only those who lose their health truly understand the preciousness of health. There is a proverb that says: "If the liver is good, life is colored; if the liver is not good, life is black and white." This phrase applies not only to liver disease, but also to other diseases.
Modern people have the concept of "prevention is better than treatment", so many people improve immunity and prevent the occurrence of diseases by exercising, paying attention to nutritional balance, and eating some comprehensive vitamins and other health foods. Some people think that the methods of Western medicine and health care are still not enough, and they take more Chinese medicine to nourish the body.
In fact, the effect of eating supplements is quite limited, if the choice is not appropriate, there will be counter-effects; more noteworthy is that eating too much medicine will hurt the body, and it will cost a lot of money. Is there a way to maintain health care without spending money or taking medicine? There is a "magic weapon" that we all have, and the ancestors have left behind how to use the magic weapon, but we don't know how to use it.
"Yuanshen": The strongest ability to protect life
Chinese medicine and Taoism say that life has "three treasures": essence, qi and god, because the "three treasures" can form multiple layers of "protective barriers" to protect life. This "Three Jewels" not only represents the composition of life, but also shows the level of its level. "Jing" is tangible and belongs to the molecular level; "qi" and "god" are invisible, and particles are smaller than molecules; among them, "god" has the highest level and the smallest number of particles.
Why is it said that the methods of Western medicine and health care are insufficient? Because it can only enhance the ability of "jing" to protect with the help of exercise and nutrition; and "qi" and "god" are invisible, Western medicine cannot be studied or maintained.
In fact, the highest value of TCM health care is in the maintenance of "qi" and "god"; "qi" is constantly circulating in the body, forming a strong protective layer on the surface of the body and in the body; in particular, the composition of the "Yuan God" is the smallest, the energy is the largest, and the ability to protect life is the strongest.
Attach importance to "morality" and enhance the energy of "YuanShen"
Five thousand years ago, the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic put forward the supreme (sage) "way of health", saying: "Idyllic nothingness, true qi from it, spiritual inner guarding." That is to say, we must be able to purify our hearts, look down on fame and fortune, not be tempted by external objects, and reach the realm of "nothingness", so that we can maintain the essence, qi and spirit of the "Three Jewels" of life.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve "idyllic nothingness", but the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" reveals a truth: "Health care should be heavy". Attaching importance to morality includes: doing things seriously and responsibly, being sincere and honest, maintaining a charitable and peaceful mentality, and having a heart of perseverance, perseverance, and forbearance.
Why is it important to pay attention to "morality" to be able to maintain health? This is the very crucial part of talking about "life". Because man's "Yuanshen" comes from the world of "God", man's "Yuanshen", like "God", is sacred, innocent, and good, which is man's "innate self".
At the same time, people also have the "acquired self", which is the bad thought formed by people in the day after tomorrow, which is selfish and unwholesome. It is these selfish and unkind thoughts that conceal the good "Yuan God" and make it impossible for the "Yuan God" to exert a powerful ability to protect life. If we can attach importance to morality and remove people's bad hearts (thoughts), such as selfishness, harmful hearts, and fighting hearts, we can show the powerful power of the "Yuan God" to protect life.
Therefore, sun Simiao, a great physician of the Tang Dynasty, said in his work "A Thousand Golden Formulas": "Health care lies in virtue." Even if you have both virtues, you can live a long life without taking medicine; if you lack virtue, even if you take jade liquid jindan (immortal elixir), you cannot prolong your life. ”
Everyone has the "Yuan God", the "magic weapon" with the strongest ability to protect life. To exert the power of the "magic weapon", we must pay attention to morality, which is also the secret of the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classics to reveal our "health and longevity, eternal youth".
