Going to bed early and getting up early accounts for 70% of human health, and mentality, diet, and timely conditioning each account for 10%, and we can know the importance of going to bed early and getting up early. We discharge electricity during the day, sleep at night is charging, only flush 50% of the electricity at night, and release 100% during the day, where the 50% comes from, is borrowed from the five viscera.
The five viscera in the ancient book for the five tibetan, is the meaning of hiding, hiding is the essence of the human body, you always borrow, always borrow, the average person borrowed 15 years of body collapse, so we say that when you are young, you don't feel anything, once you are forty or fifty years old, the disease will all come, in fact, there is a long period of transformation time from quantitative change to qualitative change.
The gravitational pull of the moon can cause tidal phenomena, can make huge changes in the vast sea level, the mass of the sun is more than twenty million times that of the moon, the volume is more than sixty million times that of the moon, then how much influence the sun has on the earth, we can imagine.
First, the root of human illness and rehabilitation
The position of the earth's orbit around the sun is unchanged for ten thousand years, this is the Heavenly Dao, "the Heavenly Dao has a constant, not for the sake of survival, not for the sake of death", it is not subject to the will of man, but only according to the objective law to run, and now it has turned to the perspective of the winter solstice. Man on earth, and the earth is one, that is, the whole climate change is relatively fast.
The big environment has reached the winter solstice, but the human body has not yet arrived, can not keep up, still blushing, a burst of heat. If the humane cycle cannot keep up with the cycle of heaven, problems will occur. The hundred diseases come from the difference between the humane cycle and the Heavenly Dao cycle, and the rehabilitation of the Hundred Diseases also comes from the harmony of the humane cycle and the Heavenly Dao cycle.
Second, the way of thinking of the unity of heaven and man is the most important
We must gradually cultivate in line with the natural habits and way of thinking, the world view determines the methodology, the car also needs regular maintenance, not to mention people, if there is no awareness of life conservation, just after getting sick to consider how to treat the disease, this may not be the best solution.
We do everything consciously, the consideration is not in line with the way of health, and gradually this awareness will form a habit, which will be of great benefit to our physical and mental health and even career work.
For example, we must keep in mind that "spring and summer nourish the yang, autumn and winter nourish the yin". A year is divided into four seasons, a day is also a condensation of the year, 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. for the sun and spring, 9 o'clock to 15 o'clock for the day and summer, 15 o'clock to 21 o'clock for the day and autumn, 21 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the morning for the day and winter. In the spring, yang is born from the liver, just like the seeds of a crop sown in spring.
In the summer, the yang grows in the heart, and the crops thrive under the sunlight; in the autumn, the yang gradually harvests in the lungs, and the crops are ripe, and the wheat is harvested in the autumn.
In the winter, the yang qi should be completely hidden in the kidneys, the harvested crops are bagged into the warehouse, and then sown the next year, which is the process of the growth and collection of the yang qi for a day, such as the ring is unprovoked, which link is missing, there will be no good harvest.
Theoretically, we understand, so let's take a look at the reasons why we have a bad harvest and often unwell in our daily lives, and see if we are biased in that link.
(1) Get up in shock
There are 24 solar terms in a year, and one day is the epitome of the year, and there are also 24 solar terms. Spring at 3 o'clock, rain at 4 o'clock, sting at 5 o'clock. Sting, "all stings are frightening, grass and trees are stretched", stinging is a hibernating animal, which means that the dormant animals wake up in this festival, including bears, snakes, frogs, bugs and so on.
It is not that someone goes door to door to wake them up, animals can feel the change of yang between heaven and earth, so they are awake, people are also high-level animals, but people's excessive self weakens the perception of objective nature, sensitive people will wake up around 5 o'clock in the morning, do not wake up and sleep less deeply, insensitive people, or sleep.
What is lurking in the human body? It is the yang qi that hibernates for a night, that is to say, at 5 o'clock, the yang of the human body will arise, just like the completion of spring sowing. How to be born? There is only one way, that is, "spring lord wake up, take the initiative", by 5 o'clock, you must wake up.
And after waking up, you must get up and move, a moving yang qi will arise, maybe the previous minute is still lying on the bed feeling particularly sleepy, in the fight for getting up or not to do ideological struggle, when a minute later, when you really get dressed up and move, you feel suddenly not sleepy, why, yang qi arises. After half an hour of activity, you can sleep back to the cage after a while.
(2) What is more? What is less? Matter
The above is from the perspective of the 24 solar terms to tell you the importance of getting up early, let's discuss what is called how much? What is more? What is less? More and less, is one thing, two different names, Lao Tzu said "the same out of the same name", that is the meaning, the key is from which angle you look at it. A chopstick, looking down, is a point; Looking horizontally, it is a line segment. Is the point this chopstick, or is the line segment? Both.
So don't get up at 5 o'clock, are you more or less? In terms of time, it is more, and from the perspective of yang growth collection, it is less. For example, a farmer, after a winter break, in the spring, everyone else went to the field to farm, he did not go, he wanted to rest for another three months.
Is he more, or less? From the aspect of rest, he is more, but there is no spring sowing, where is the autumn harvest? In this respect, he is at the same time less. So how much, gain or loss is a pair of contradictions of opposites and unity, they exist at the same time, the key is what you want to gain, what you lose.
Then there is no early rise, on the one hand, there is no sowing in the spring, there is no harvest in the year, on the other hand, the energy is conserved, and the yang qi in the body is not converted into clear qi, it will die in the body, and then transformed into fire gas and turbid acid.
People who don't get up early are bored, not the later they get up, the more energetic, but the more tired, I don't believe you sleep until 12 noon to try, don't get up early, yang qi does not arise, people are weak, but weak at the same time people also love to lose their temper, because yang qi is dead for fire, so people have a big temper, and the evil fire in the body is too big.
Turbid acid corrosion kidneys, the number of people with kidney disease in the country is about 100 million, the root cause is late, liver qi is not born, held in the body, liver main acid, this acidic substance, in the corrosion of the kidneys, can not stand the daily corrosion ah, this is very terrible, so it is to get up early and go to bed early.
(3) The solution to not being able to sleep is to get up early
Many people want to go to bed early, is unable to sleep, one of the solutions is to get up early, early to sleep is not up to you to decide, but get up early can be their own decision, when you get up early, rest for half an hour at noon, the afternoon is very mental, the evening will be sleepy early, when you are not sleepy at night, get up in the morning, this has been in a vicious circle, how to break this strange circle, is to get up early.
We have always recommended that children get up early, but at the same time we should pay attention to a point, children get up at 4 or 5 o'clock to study, half an hour before going to school, it is best to sleep back to the cage, such as 4 o'clock to learn, 7 o'clock to go to school.
Then learn 6:30, go to bed and lie down for a while, so that the morning is not sleepy, and you must rest for a while at noon, develop the habit of taking a nap, not much, 10 to 30 minutes at noon every day, no conditions to sleep, close your eyes and recuperate.
Many customers feedback that the child learned more than 11 o'clock to go to bed, it seems to be very hard, but carefully ask, the child came home from school is not to seize the time to do homework, but to relax first, watch TV, eat, etc., have to wait until 7 o'clock, before starting to learn.
This is wrong, go home and do your homework as nervously as you would fight, which saves you an hour, then you can go to bed an hour earlier, remember.
Sleep is not a matter of time, it is a matter of time periods, from 9 pm to 3 am for the heavens and the earth to replenish energy for a period of time, you sleep to catch up, late sleep on the supplement of a little, no sleep did not catch up.
What if I say I didn't catch up? If you don't catch up, you don't catch up, there is no other way, not sleeping is your business, and the laws of nature will not change because of you.
Today's children, the more they go to school, the more depressed they feel.
So there are some children who take the college entrance examination, sleep 6 hours a day, go to bed at 12 o'clock at night, go to school at 6 o'clock in the morning, you say go to bed early, he said no, the homework can't be written. You can only sleep 6 hours a day, and finally make the child like a neuropathy, depression, and now young people are depressed too much, full of disease, the head can not remember.
Later, I told these children that you slept for 6 hours, you moved forward, you slept at 9 o'clock at night, and you got up at 3 o'clock in the morning. Anyway, 9 p.m. to establish winter, 3 o'clock in the morning to establish spring, just one day of winter, these 6 hours you are in the "cat winter".
Later, these children went before the 100% university examination, and the examination was in front of the Qinghua Peking University examination, and the children were also happy, and the mental state was good, and the body was good.
So we call it TCM seasonal health, she is specifically about time, in a sense, the fundamental problem of TCM is time medicine.
It is human behavior, and the rhythm of nature can echo, that is to say, if you want to catch this train, you have to follow the train watch, so you have to be able to catch the natural train, you just follow the table of others and it will be fine. Let's try it, and it works when you try it. This is the easiest and most cost-effective way to do it.
(4) The only remedy for going to bed late is to get up early.
The only remedy for sleeping late is to get up early, which seems to be contradictory, go to bed at 1 o'clock at night, and the remedy is to get up at 5 o'clock? Yes. After getting up, you can go back to sleep for a while, but you can't sleep until 7 or 8 o'clock.
Not sleeping at night is called consuming yang qi, and not getting up in the morning is called blocking yang qi. Simply put, not sleeping at night, just like in the winter, throwing away all the grain in the house, the only remedy is to work hard in the spring, and then sow the seeds in anticipation of a good harvest in the autumn, that is, to get up early.
What seems contradictory is actually not contradictory.
(5) Getting up early is a minute's errand
This many people think it is impossible to hear, in fact, it is very simple, you can try it, you get up at 5 o'clock, just in the few minutes of getting up there is a psychological contradiction, up or not? Get up, it's so sleepy!
Great, not good for health! Contradiction! But when you really get up, move a little, or walk, or jump, or stretch your body, you will not feel as sleepy as lying in bed 1 minute ago.
And it felt relaxed and very comfortable. We have repeatedly emphasized that getting up early to raise liver qi, many customers do not understand, you personally get up early once to understand.
At 5 o'clock in the morning you are still lying in bed to sleep, or even if you wake up, you are lazy and sleepy, this is the performance of the liver qi not rising, or the performance of the yang qi not rising; you get up at 5 o'clock and move slightly, people are not sleepy immediately, why, the yang in your body rises with your activities.
Spring takes the initiative, the Lord wakes up. When you get up at 5 o'clock, spring rises in your body, and the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic says: Without spring, there is no summer. There is no spring where there is summer, let alone autumn and winter. There are also four seasons in the day, so you get up at 5 o'clock and the human body is in sync with nature.
In one day, it will experience the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it is precisely these four seasons that are interlocked and closely related, there is no spring birth, where there is a long summer, there will be no autumn harvest, winter naturally has nothing to hide, to the next spring there is no cultivated seed, and there is no way to grow, so repeated, vicious circle, such as ring without cause.
Therefore, we emphasize that we must get up at 5 o'clock, do not get up before 6 o'clock at the latest, get up and move, and read and write are sober-minded. And from 5 o'clock, the little sun can rise, and the little sun is the newborn sun.
A person who does not get up a day before 5 o'clock is a day without a sun in his body, and a year without a day is a year without a sun in his body. There is no sun in the human body, that is, there is a lack of yang qi, and it is not surprising that he is sick or dies early.
So why is it still very difficult at 5 o'clock? Because you can't afford it. 5 o'clock is the sting, the sting means that the hibernating animal begins to move, also in the human body, that is, the yang begins to surge. If you get up early, the yang qi can rise and come out, and the person will not be sleepy; because you can't get up at 5 o'clock, the person lies still, and the liver qi can't rise, so you are sleepy.
So what to do if you are really sleepy, you can get up at 5 o'clock, move for 10 to 30 minutes, and then lie down to sleep back to the cage, then the yang has risen, and then sleep will not suppress the yang, so that you get up again is relaxed and happy, work and study energy, otherwise you are tired during the day, in addition to yawning is dozing, what to do is not enough energy.
Many people, especially young people, are used to not sleeping at night, not getting up in the morning, thinking that it is okay, don't you see that my health is not very good?
You can ask the frail elderly people around you if they had the same thoughts as you when they were young. They all came from that age group, and by the time they believed that man could not confront nature, it was too late to regret it.
People who start at 5 o'clock in the morning, it is best to take a lunch break at noon, one is to nourish the heart, and the other is to be energetic in the afternoon.
(6) Sleep is a matter of time period.
So here, we have to get out of a misunderstanding - sleepy must sleep, sleep until natural awakening, is to sleep a full sleep, the spirit is enough, the body is healthy. This is not entirely true.
We have been telling you an important point of knowledge for several years: sleep is not a matter of time, not that I slept enough for 8 or 9 hours today, the body is healthy, sleep is a matter of time period, 9 pm to 3 am for the winter, the winter lord avoids hiding, and the yang qi will enter the hibernation period.
It is the sleep time that gold does not change, people sleep in this time period, it is equivalent to sending themselves to the car running in heaven and earth, hitchhiking on this car, people will be healthy, it will be long; miss this car, you sleep for an hour late, then you sleep for three hours the next day can not make up for it, just like the cold window of ten years, that is, for the few hours of the college entrance examination, if you are confused during the period of the exam, it is useless for you to be awake at other times.
Many people have such a feeling, from falling asleep at night to waking up in the morning, it feels that the time is very short, and if it is sleeping during the day, even if it is very sleepy, it feels that the sleep time is very long, and it is only found when you wake up, but it is only two or three hours.
This is because when sleeping at night, the sun is below the earth (relative to China is up, the United States is down), the upper is yang, the lower is yin, the rise and fall is yang, the subsidence is yin, the huge gravitation is to the subordinate yin, and the yang of the person is settled in the yin, so the time for people to sleep and charge the yin is long, and the person sleeps soundly and sinks.
On the contrary, when the sun has run above us during the day, the gravitational force is upward yang, with the same qi, people's yang is also rising and floating yang, people's sleeping state will be very shallow, whether from time, quality, or health effects and other aspects can not be compared with night sleep.
Therefore, we often say "to go to bed early and get up early", "sleep is the first major supplement", "sleep is a natural supplement, people can't make up for the heavens", "sleep accounts for seven-tenths of the health" and so on.
If the conditions can, it is best not to go to the night shift, the night shift is too hurtful, this is your gravitational tug-of-war with the sun, the mass of the sun is more than three hundred thousand times that of the earth, the volume is more than a million times that of the earth, your mass and volume account for a few fractions of the earth?
If it is true that there is no way to work the needs, then it is best not to work three shifts, today on the night shift, the day after tomorrow, which is equivalent to you going back and forth between China and the United States every day, every day in reverse jet lag.
If we really understand the above things and do it, you get seventy percent of your health and longevity, and your mindset, diet, and timely conditioning each account for 10%, but sleep accounts for 70 percent.
We often lose watermelons to pick up sesame seeds now, spend a lot of money and time on manpower, medicine, do not know, manpower, medicinal power, not as good as heavenly power, people between heaven and earth is just a speck of dust, dust only and nature integrated, will "live for a long time"; when the dust out of nature, it will be instantaneous.
These truths are precious, only for those who have a good relationship, I wish you good health! Health is bliss!!!
