Generally speaking, the method of meditation now, if you sit upright, even if you are drowsy and asleep, your head will not move, because he is like a collapsed copper coin, standing there with a loose one, the teeth do not bite, "tongue to the palate", many people in the cultivation of the time, the eyes are all closed, in fact, should be "open three minutes and close seven points, so that the things that can be seen in front of you can not distinguish what is, so that it is helpful to concentrate, it is not easy to fall asleep."

In the palate area above the person, there are two small sockets that can be touched by fingers, which taoists call "Tianchi", which is not an acupuncture point, but a key to cultivation, and the true qi of cultivation will leak out from here and need to be held with the tongue. There is also an effect is: general meditation, after the tongue is on the palate, the small tongue is naturally opened, the laryngeal cavity is enlarged, the breathing is smooth, it is not easy to faint, the reason is that the breathing air is sufficient, the oxygen is sufficient, when the person is drowsy, it is insufficient cerebral blood oxygen, the lack of oxygen is wood, a shot of wood is dizzy, and the nervous system is out of control.
