After the superficial awareness caused by external information stimulating the five senses fades away, the usually fluctuating and chaotic thoughts also enter a calm state. Whether it is a monk practicing meditation or a martial artist practicing internal cultivation, the first step in meditation must be like this, and then
Only then can we talk about the depth of concentration.
If distracting thoughts are caused by environmental stimulation or thinking activities, they can disappear as the concentration deepens, but what you feel is not distracting thoughts, but imprints deep in your consciousness. It is not an ordinary hallucination or illusion, and it is not based on human will.
Transfer is as immersive and irresistible - when the body and mind enter this state, it will appear naturally.
You Fang couldn't help but think of the last words the strange old man said before he left: "Although you did it cleanly last night, you also hurt your soul and exposed too many flaws in front of me."
Most people may not understand the so-called "hurt the soul", but they can probably understand the phrase "the spirit is stimulated". A certain environment or a certain experience has left an overly strong impression on someone, or it may be that
In a specific event, the mind is in a state of excessive tension, concentration, and anxiety for so long that it creates an imprint-like state deep in the consciousness that cannot go away. Although it has passed or even been forgotten on the surface, it will have an impact on people's behavior and senses.
Cause lasting impact or even obstacles.
Under normal conditions, human consciousness will respond correctly to external stimuli through the senses. For example, if there is no one in front of you, you will not see people. However, if the depth of consciousness itself is not calm, you may make wrong judgments and reactions.
For example, seeing people when there is no one there is the cause of many psychological problems.
Mild symptoms can often be eliminated through self-regulation and the spirit returns to normal. People's self-regulation ability is related to factors such as environment, personality, education, experience, etc. In the traditional Chinese cultural environment, people's psychological endurance and self-regulation ability
It is very strong and clearly exceeds the modern Western cultural environment.
If you are unable to self-regulate, you need to see a psychiatrist. The doctor will use methods such as comfort, transfer, catharsis, and intensive stimulation. Sometimes it is necessary to use hypnosis, suggestion, and other methods to enter the depths of the patient's consciousness to find the cause of the disease, and at the same time, try his best to
Eliminate the impact of this imprint.
Don't think that only modern psychiatrists can do this. Traditional charlatans also master very similar methods, and even some witches in the countryside can do it. Since ancient times, witch doctors have the same origin. In the past, this was a charlatanism with an exaggerated name.
It's called soul-awakening. You Fang's second uncle Mo Shenshou was a charlatan in his early years. Zhu Youke was an expert in martial arts. Although You Fang didn't specialize in medicine, he knew the methods of charlatan soul-awakening.
of.
General psychological problems will not significantly affect a person's rational judgment, because the stimulation of the external environment is mostly much stronger than the illusion deep in the consciousness, and it is usually covered up. But if it is serious enough, the endogenous illusion will
If the intensity exceeds the response to environmental stimuli, the person's communication with the outside world will be out of control, and normal rational judgment will be lost. In layman's terms - he is mentally ill and crazy!
There is a clear line between ordinary psychological problems and out-of-control behavior. Many people have psychological problems to one degree or another, but they are not crazy.
It is impossible to say that you will be mentally stimulated. You are often not even aware of it at the time. Last night, You Fang participated in a tomb robbery for the first time in a dark and spooky environment. He committed murder and set fire for the first time in his life. His spirit has been in a state of over-sensitivity and
In a tense state, the strange old man said that he had "hurt his soul." You Fang didn't care at the time. It was only when he meditated before going to bed and practiced the inner nourishment method that he realized that what the old man said was true!
You Fang did not understand the profession of a psychiatrist, and was still ignorant of the meaning of the word "Yuan Shen", but he understood the "soul summoning technique" of Jianghu people, and combined with his own sitting skills, he even speculated and guessed the above-mentioned
so much.
You Fang's symptoms are not serious for ordinary people, and they will not significantly affect their daily lives. They will gradually forget them in a different environment and bury this experience deep in their memory. But You Fang is not completely excluded.
Ordinary people, this is a problem. Before this problem is solved, it will be difficult for him to continue to cultivate the mind of internal cultivation. It is not in line with the method of cultivating health and calming the mind both internally and externally. If the delay is too long, the inner strength will still weaken.
Risk of loss.
You Fang can also "evocation". If he puts on makeup and is older, he can pretend to be a psychiatrist to deceive people. But it is difficult for him to deceive himself, at least not in the short term. Just like a psychiatrist
It is difficult to modify the imprints deep in the consciousness at will in a state of self-hypnosis. If a person can easily repair the depths of his consciousness, then he is not an ordinary psychiatrist, but a top mind control master.
There was a news story last year that a psychiatrist in the U.S. Army suddenly went crazy one day, rushed out of the barracks, shot to death, and injured dozens of people. The reason was nothing more than this - he was providing psychological counseling to soldiers.
At that time, the spirit was repeatedly stimulated, but was unable to repair itself in time, eventually leading to out-of-control behavior. (Note: Fort Hood Incident)
But You Fang is not too worried. At the worst, he will go back to his hometown and ask his second uncle to treat him. If it doesn't work, he can also ask Old Master Mo for help. By the way, what is the "Yuanshen"? The ninety-year-old old man
Taigong was a "famous person" in the local area. He was the elder of several uncles, and they were masters in almost all the eight martial arts and various methods.
After some random thoughts, You Fang pulled off the quilt and fell on the bed to sleep.
I was so tired that I could hardly open my eyelids when my head hit the pillow. However, I slept very restlessly. As soon as I closed my eyes, circles of halos appeared and shrank in the dark, and my body felt like it was falling, as if
He kept falling into an abyss, his spirit was very restless, and his deep fatigue was irresistible, so he fell asleep unknowingly.
This night was full of nightmares, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember the content. I just felt a little groggy. You Fang is not a vicious and habitual gangster, nor is he a hero who travels in the world. If he doesn't talk about martial arts and his understanding of the world, he
He is just a young man from the countryside. In the past few years when he moved to Beijing, he first sold CDs in Zhongguancun, and later worked as a stall keeper in Panjiayuan. His experience in the dangers of the world is still very shallow. After what happened last night, I had nightmares at night.
Very normal.
Feeling groggy when you wake up early is like not having a good rest, and you can't be energetic when doing anything. This state is encountered by most people from time to time, and it's not a big deal. However, You Fang feels very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. Since practicing meditation to nourish the inner energy,
He has always been full of energy, his senses are sharp, and he rarely feels tired or fatigued.
After going downstairs to have breakfast, I felt a slight taste in my mouth. You Fang planned to go out to practice boxing. Since I can't practice the martial arts of meditation for the time being, I would relax my muscles and bones and exercise my strength, which can nourish the body and the mind.
Although the effect is relatively slow, it is still useful.
There is a lotus pond park not far to the east of Cangzhou Hotel. There is a lake in the park. The lake is more than 100 meters in diameter. There is a grassland in the southeast corner extending into the lake. At the end is a four-cornered pavilion. It is surrounded by lakes on two sides. In early autumn, lotus flowers bloom.
The leaves are swaying gently, and the morning breeze blows through the air with a faint pleasant fragrance. It is refreshing to stop here.
Xingyiquan has the theory of five elements and twelve shapes. The five elements are called metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. In the boxing method, they actually refer to the five types of force: splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal. The twelve pictograms correspond to dragon, tiger, monkey, and chicken.
There are twelve kinds of animals including horses, harriers, swallows, snakes, hawks, gulls, eagles, bears, etc. My uncle didn’t talk about these when he taught you Fang. He only said it was the crop handle style, and the name was also very old-fashioned: pheasant fist, flopping.
Boxing, Old Monkey Boxing, Python Pulling Boxing, Wild Cat Boxing, etc.
For the uninitiated, the routine training is actually very simple. It only takes more than half an hour to practice the twelve-shaped boxing frame from beginning to end. After putting away the frame, You Fang stood quietly by the lake for a while, feeling the energy in his body.
The joyful feeling of blood circulation makes the body's fatigue disappear.
But on the other hand, his spirit is still not high enough. In the past, after meditating at night and practicing boxing in the morning, his eyes would feel particularly clear and he would be full of energy without feeling a trace of tiredness or drowsiness. However, at this moment, he always felt that he was still a little awake.
It seems that the impact of the injury to the soul will not disappear for a while.
"Young people have good skills and a solid attitude. In this world, martial arts practitioners like you are rare." Suddenly, an old man's voice came from behind.
You Fang was startled and immediately turned around. There was a man standing about a foot away. It was the strange old man he met yesterday morning. It seemed that his senses were not as sharp as usual. Although the grass beside the lake was
It can cover up people's voices, but it was the first time in the past three years that I was bullied so close to someone from behind without any reaction when I was standing still.
The old man stood in a very coincidental position. To his left and right were lotus leaves in the lake, and behind him was the four-corner pavilion in the middle of the lake. His path was blocked, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He had no choice but to step forward and clasp his fists.
Said: "Old senior, how did you find me?"
While asking the question, I was also very puzzled. I was constantly thinking about what flaws I had left in my journey so that the old man could track this. But the old man answered the question incorrectly: "I got up early and went to the park with nothing to do. I saw you practicing boxing, and why?
I thought you expected my old man to come and waited here specially... Hey, why are you sweating?"
You Fang quietly wiped the slight sweat from his forehead and explained: "I just finished practicing boxing and the weather is a bit hot."
The old man said with a smile but not a smile: "You can only fool laymen by saying this. Boxing training is not boxing. With your skills, you won't sweat after a routine. Besides, you are sweating wrongly. It's not in the palm of your hand but on your forehead."
, it's cold sweat, are you afraid of me?"
You Fang had no choice but to nod and reply: "Yes, the senior is so unpredictable that I'm really scared. May I ask your surname?"
The old man raised his face slightly and said: "I am Liu Li, the contemporary earth master. I am not a homeless wanderer. I am a literary swordsman. I am a Li of the common people. What is your name?"
"You Fang, Yun You's You, direction's Fang." You Fang answered happily. This is actually his pseudonym. It is the same as the name registered at the Cangzhou Hotel yesterday. He also has an identity card called You Fang.
certificate.
The name is fake, but the certificate is "real". Many people may have seen advertisements for "getting a certificate" on telephone poles, but most people don't understand that fake certificates can also become real. For example, Zhang San got it
An ID card named Li Si is of course a fake identity, but the certificate may be genuine, depending on how it was obtained. (Note: You Fang’s seventh aunt’s family specializes in the “certificate processing” business.
, the details of which will be explained later if relevant.)
The old man chuckled: "Are you a wandering Taoist priest or a wandering monk?"
You Fang: "I am neither a Taoist priest nor a monk, I just wander around."
The old man's expression was a bit incomprehensible: "This name is to my liking, but I see that your complexion is not very good. Did you not sleep well at night? I saw my old man today. Do you have anything to ask me?"
Since there was no way to hide from this old man, You Fang certainly wanted to ask for advice. He took a step forward and said respectfully: "Senior said yesterday that I injured my soul. I don't quite understand. Could you please give me some detailed advice?"
The old man seemed to have been waiting for You Fang's words for a long time. He waved his hand with dignity and said: "We are all people in the world. I am happy to help the younger generations. But if you want my advice, you must first answer a few questions of my old man. Answer
I’ll wait until I’m satisfied.”
You Fang: "What do you want to ask, old man?"
The old man pointed to the four-corner pavilion in the middle of the lake: "Don't stand here talking. I'll wait for you there. I'm a little thirsty. You go to the door and buy me a bottle of water."
You Fang agreed and just took a step forward, then turned around and asked: "What brand should I buy?"
Old man: "Nongfu Spring."
You Fang bought a bottle of water. The old man sat on the railing of the pavilion with his legs crossed. He took the water without drinking or opening it. He shook the bottle and said, "Xiao Fang..."
You Fang quickly interrupted: "Senior, let's change our name. When you call me Xiaofang, I think of a girl in the village..."
The old man was also happy: "Then let's call you Xiaoyouzi. Well, Xiaoyouzi is a good name, almost like a gangster... Xiaoyouzi, since you have a lot of experience with your fists and kicks, I want to ask you, why do you practice martial arts?"
Answer seriously."
Why practice martial arts? When I was young, I just practiced martial arts for fun. I was interested and didn’t think too much about it. When I become an adult and continue to practice martial arts, of course I will have my own thoughts - why? There are naturally many reasons, such as self-defense.
Fighting without losing money, exercising, etc. But when you reach the level of You Fang, it is not just because of these reasons.
You Fang did not answer the question of fighting with others and becoming famous, nor did he answer the question of strengthening his body and protecting his family and country. He expressed his truest feelings - enjoying life.
