Zen can only be realized if all physical and mental obstacles are eliminated and there is no pressure.
Meditation: Ignorance is death. Thinking is your thinking and thinking, and meditation is to get rid of your thinking and thinking and find your perception. Meditation is an important part of yoga, qigong, magic and religion (Buddhism and Taoism). It is a form of changing consciousness, which enhances self-awareness and good state by obtaining a deep state of peace. In the process of meditation, people may focus on their breathing and adjust their breathing, adopt certain body postures (yoga postures), minimize external stimuli, produce specific psychological appearances, or think nothing. The true physiology of meditation can be specialized into quiet alertness, a state of low body awakening but enhanced consciousness. Therefore, meditation can at least reduce anxiety, especially for those individuals who are stressed in the environment. Meditation was originally a spiritual practice in religious activities, such as meditation, yoga and qigong. , but now it has been widely used in many spiritual activities courses.
China called Zen meditation, which can promote human blood circulation, eliminate troubles in life and get rid of subjective confusion. It is the best way to prevent and treat diseases, improve health and cultivate body and mind. Because of meditation, the mind is in one place, so that the brain is in a static state, the scattered heart settles down, the mood is clean and peaceful, and the qi pulse is naturally smooth.
Meditation originated from the ancient wisdom of the East and has a history of thousands of years. Meditation and medicine come from the same English root, which means treatment. In Pali, meditation is "the cultivation of the mind", which emphasizes relying on spiritual training to subdue the mind and purify the experience.
According to the different directions of attention, meditation is generally divided into two categories in the world: mindfulness and concentration. Mindfulness meditation requires you to consciously keep your attention in the present and experience any rising thoughts and feelings with a position of knowing and accepting, without making any judgment; Focus on a single specific activity, such as observing candles, repeating words, imagining images, etc. And abandon other thoughts and feelings. In practice, there are many kinds of meditation (such as samadhi, Vipassana, visualisation, etc. ), but they are basically between the above two levels of attention opening and focusing. In 1960s, meditation began to enter the scientific research field of western psychology. Professor Joe Kabakin from the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine not only experienced it personally, but also used this method to help patients cope with pain, stress and illness. In the late 1970s, he initiated Mindfulness Decompression Therapy (MBSR). MBSR stripped off the primitive religious elements and became a therapeutic method of cognitive psychology, which declared the scientificity and universality of meditation. Mindfulness cognitive therapy, mindfulness relapse prevention, mindfulness mental health training, acceptance and commitment therapy are widely used in mainstream medicine and psychotherapy. Many people have prejudices about meditation. However, "meditation is not to seek a special realm of enlightenment, not to try to reach a state of supernormal consciousness different from the present, not to escape the current emotional activities, nor to cultivate magical power through concentration and meditation." Meditation and meditation are just to know your own truth and face the truth of life. In "Zen Master's Initial Heart" and "Normal Mind Zen", it is emphasized that the meditator should always keep an initial heart.
Meditation can adjust our "spirit" and improve our attention, decision-making, emotional management and consciousness. We can meditate while walking, climbing mountains and running long distances. If we are distracted, we can bring our attention back to breathing the moment we realize it. We don't have to criticize ourselves for being absent-minded, but simply return to our breathing.
Informal exercises can detect breathing and feeling anytime and anywhere, such as taking a vehicle or waiting in line. William George, a member of the board of directors of Goldman Sachs, has been practicing meditation for nearly 40 years. Because of his frequent business trips, he often meditates by air. This will not only give him a deep rest, but also clear his mind before the meeting.
In addition to being aware of breathing, you can also be aware of what is happening now. For example, when brushing your teeth, you should pay attention to every movement and strength of brushing your teeth, the taste and texture of toothpaste; When walking, you should be aware of the feeling that the soles of your feet are in contact with the ground, of every move you take, and of the shift of your center of gravity. Keep awareness at any time and place. After a period of training, meditation will naturally rise.
Meditation with oriental philosophy is expected to take root in domestic business circles after the test of western science. In meditation, experience natural, open and uncritical awareness, gain insight into the inside, and expect everyone's heart to be more peaceful and beautiful.
