Text/Coriander
Everyone has a heart. The beating of this heart fluctuates with the person's emotions. Therefore, emotions are a key factor in the left and right heart rhythm. Many times, the worse a person's mood, the faster the heartbeat will accelerate. And when people's emotions calm down, the heartbeat slows down.
Meditation is a very high state. If one can maintain peace of mind, one may be able to do more with less. However, keeping the mind still is not an easy task, it requires people to have a relatively high "practice."
Ordinary people may not be able to reach the point of always "calming down", but people can use some external factors to calm their minds, such as reading, such as writing, such as listening to music, and so on. I have a habit of reading famous sayings or ancient poems about "jing" whenever I can't be quiet. Pick out four sentences that I often read and share them with you, if you can't calm down, you may wish to read them too to see if there is a good effect.
★ If the heart is disturbed, there will be hundreds of diseases, and if the heart is quiet, there will be all kinds of patients.
These are two poems from Luo Tianyi's "Health Treasure Book" of the Yuan Dynasty. It means that when people's mood is disturbed, they are prone to breed a hundred diseases; if the mind can be calm, all diseases can disappear.
We all know that if a person is in a bad mood for a long time, it is easy to get sick, such as depression, most of which come this way. Therefore, Luo Tianyi said, the mind can disappear. When the disease disappears, the body can be healthy. From this point of view, the relationship between mood and health is inseparable.
With such a cognition, when you are in a bad mood, you will think of some good things to transform your bad emotions, because you don't want to have problems with your body. So whenever my mind is not quiet, the first thing I read are these two poems to remind myself that the body is the most important thing.
★ Asked Jun He Neng'er, his heart was far away from himself.
I have always liked Tao Yuanming's "paradise", and I always imagine the scenery of this taoyuan in my mind: peach forests, several huts, a group of chickens and ducks taking a leisurely walk, and occasionally smoke rising. The world is quiet.
When the mind is not quiet, think of that peach paradise, think of the life that has no quarrel with the world, and the heart will slowly calm down. The life of that "paradise" is not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because of the slow pace of life. Many times, the reason why modern people are restless and restless is the pressure of high-intensity life rhythm.
And in the remote Taoyuan life, there is nothing to "fight", so everything can be ignored, and everything can be slowed down. This slowness can bring peace of mind. Many times, as long as I think of the inside of the fence, there are peach blossoms in full bloom, accompanied by flowers and plants, there is land to plant, there are animals to raise, that kind of life, I am very fascinated.
"The heart is far away from the self-deprecation". When the mind is released, it can be calm. It's also a poem that I really like.
★ The pure mind is the way, and the retreat is the forward.
Many times, people's "struggle" is to move forward, in order to go up. The Budai monk tells us that the root of the "tao" is to "purify the heart."
In this world, people do not need to take steps step by step, and press everywhere. Human encounters are all predestined, so don't think that just moving forward is a good thing. Sometimes, taking a step back can also open up the sky.
This is the realm and pattern of man. When we can let go of the "demons of the heart" and cleanse our hearts, sometimes concessions can become an opportunity to move forward.
Knowing how to step back is also a kind of wisdom. What people sometimes lack is wisdom. Don't think of regression as a failure, on the contrary, it may be the right opportunity to win.
If you think this through, the mind will be able to be relieved. If you can be relieved, you will naturally be able to calm down. So sometimes, famous sayings or ancient poems have such a great power.
★ He thought and worried only silently, and the mind was meditating.
I don't know much about Zeiger, but I love these two lines of his poems. I always feel that these two poems are an extreme of the human realm.
When the human heart returns to silence, all things may be empty. This state has something in common with Buddhist meditation. So don't worry about the material life of this world, because everything is empty. Where the heart goes, it is ultimately emptiness.
If so, what are we bothering about? Why is our heart not at peace? It's all because we have too many "desires" and think too deeply. Without these material troubles, the human mind would not be restless. So you see, just two short poems speak of the highest realm of self-cultivation in the world.
So whenever I read these two verses, I feel that I don't have to think about anything, I don't have to worry about anything, I don't have to argue about anything, because all of this is illusory in the end. Isn't that true of life? After a hundred years, what will we have left? And what else can you take away? Nothing! Since this is the case, there is nothing to worry about.
Good quotes, good verses, always give people inspiration and strength. There is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beautiful jade in the book. But I would like to say that the book is more in the source of wisdom, which can wash people's hearts and cleanse people's souls.
Therefore, when the mind is not quiet, read the book, especially these verses that can calm people, it can bring you a lot of unexpected gains!
