The principle of healthy sleep
So we said that when we were young, we didn't feel anything. When you are forty or fifty, all diseases will come. In fact, it takes a long time to change from quantitative change to qualitative change.
The gravity of the moon will cause tidal phenomena, which will cause great changes in the vast sea level. The mass of the sun is more than 20 million times that of the moon, and its volume is more than 60 million times that of the moon. So we can imagine how much influence the sun has on the earth.
First, the root causes of illness and rehabilitation
The orbital position of the earth around the sun will remain unchanged for 10 thousand years. This is heaven. "Heaven will always be there, not for Yao's survival, not for Jie's death." It does not depend on human will, but operates according to objective laws. Now it has turned its perspective to the winter solstice. People on the earth are integrated with the earth, that is to say, the whole climate changes rapidly, and the environment has reached the winter solstice, but the human body has not yet arrived, can't keep up, blushes and is hot.
If the humanitarian cycle can't keep up with the heavenly cycle, there will be problems. All diseases come from the difference between humanitarian circulation and heavenly circulation. Similarly, the recovery of all diseases comes from the harmony between humanitarian cycle and heaven cycle.
Second, the way of thinking that heaven and man are one is the most important.
It is necessary to gradually cultivate living habits and ways of thinking that conform to nature, the world outlook determines methodology, and cars need regular maintenance, not to mention people. If you don't have the consciousness of maintaining life at all, it may not be the best solution to consider how to treat the disease after you get sick.
What we do is conscious and does not conform to the way of keeping in good health. Gradually, this kind of consciousness will form a habit, which is of great benefit to our physical and mental health and even our career. For example, keep in mind that "Yang should be raised in spring and summer, and Yin should be raised in autumn and winter". A year is divided into four seasons, and a day is also the condensation of a year. 3: 00 am to 9: 00 am is spring, 9: 00 am to 15 is summer, 15 to 2 1 is autumn and 2 1 to 3: 00 am is winter.
In spring, yang is born from the liver, just like sowing the seeds of crops in spring; In summer, the yang grows in the heart, and crops thrive under the sunshine; In autumn, the essence of the sun gradually gathers in the lungs, and when the crops are ripe, the wheat will be harvested in autumn; In winter, the essence of the sun should be completely hidden in the kidney, and the harvested crops should be bagged and put into storage, and then sown the next year. This is the process of the growth and collection of the essence of the sun in a day. No reason, no link, no good harvest.
Theoretically, we understand, so let's look at the reasons why our harvest is not good and we often feel unwell in our daily life, and see if we are biased in that link.
Wake up from a fright
There are 24 solar terms in a year, one day is the epitome of a year, and there are also 24 solar terms. 3 o'clock in beginning of spring, 4 o'clock in rain and 5 o'clock in fright. Sting, "everyone is lurking and everything is suitable", is a hibernating animal, which means that dormant animals wake up in this solar term, including bears, snakes, frogs and insects. Animals don't go door to door to wake them up, but they can feel the change of yang between heaven and earth, so they all wake up. People are also advanced animals, but people's excessive ego weakens their perception of objective nature.
What is dormant in the human body? It is the yang that hibernates all night, that is to say, at 5 o'clock, the yang of the human body will be born, just like sowing in spring. How to be born? There is only one way, that is, "spring comes to wake up and take the initiative." At 5 o'clock, you must wake up. After waking up, you must get up and move. As soon as you wake up, you will feel very sleepy. Maybe you were lying in bed a minute ago, wondering if you could get up. When you really get dressed and move a minute later, you will suddenly feel relaxed. Why? Exercise for half an hour, and then you can sleep in a cage when you are sleepy.
(2) What else? What do you mean less? one thing
The above is to tell you the importance of getting up early from the perspective of the 24 solar terms. Let's discuss what is called how much. What do you mean more? What do you mean less? More and less are one thing, just two different names. That's what I mean when I say "different names". The key is that you look at it from that angle A chopstick, looking down, is a point; Looking sideways, it is a line segment. Is it this chopstick or a line segment? Both.
So if you don't get up at 5 o'clock, are you too much or too little? From the time point of view, it is more, but from the growth and collection of Yang, it is less. For example, a farmer took a winter vacation and went to farm in the spring. He didn't go and wanted to rest for another three months. Is he too much or too little? In terms of rest, he is much, but if you don't sow in spring, how can you reap in autumn? In this respect, he is also missing. So how much, gain and loss are a pair of contradictions of unity of opposites. They both exist. The key is what you want and what you lose.
So if you don't get up early, on the one hand, there is no sowing in spring, that is, there is no harvest in a year. On the other hand, energy is conserved. If the yang in the body is not converted into clear qi, it will suffocate in the body and then turn into turbid acid.
People who don't get up early are bored, not the later they get up, the more tired they get. Try sleeping until noon 12. If you don't get up early, people will be weak, but at the same time, people love to lose their temper. Because the yang is suppressed into qi, people will have a big temper and have too much evil fire in their bodies.
Turbid acid corrodes the kidneys, and the number of people with nephropathy in China is about 1 100 million. The root cause is that liver qi does not grow out and stays in the body. Liver governs acid, and acid corrodes kidney. It is terrible to get up late and go to bed early.
(3) The solution to insomnia is to get up early.
Many people want to go to bed early, but they just can't sleep. One solution is to get up early. Getting up early doesn't depend on you, but you can make your own decision. When you get up early, rest for half an hour at noon, and you will be very energetic in the afternoon. When you are not sleepy at night, you can't get up in the morning. This has been a vicious circle. How to break this cycle is to get up early.
We always advise children to get up early, but at the same time, we should pay attention to one thing. Children should get up at four or five to study. Half an hour before school, you'd better have a long sleep. For example, they should get up at 4 to study and go to school at 7. Then they will sleep for a while until half past six, so that they won't be sleepy all morning. Moreover, they must rest at noon and form the habit of taking a nap, not much. 10 ~ every noon.
Many parents report that their children go to bed after 1 1, which seems to be very hard. But after careful inquiry, children are not in a hurry to do homework when they come home from school, but relax, watch TV and eat. And I don't start studying until 7 o'clock.
That is wrong. Doing homework at home should be as stressful as fighting, which can save an hour, so you can go to bed an hour earlier. Remember, sleep is not a matter of time, it is a matter of time. From 9: 00 p.m. to 3: 00 a.m., the whole world is replenishing energy. If you sleep, you will replenish it. If you sleep late, you will replenish it. If you don't sleep, you will miss it. What if you don'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.
The more children go to school, the more depressed they become. So some college entrance examination children sleep six hours a day, sleep at night 12 and go to school at 6 am. You said go to bed early, but he said no, and he couldn't finish his homework. I can only sleep for six hours every day, and finally make my child look like a psycho and depressed. There are too many depressed young people now. They are all sick and can't remember their heads. Later, I told these children that you sleep for six hours, you go forward, go to bed at 9 pm and leave at 3 am. Anyway, beginning of winter at 9 o'clock in the evening and beginning of spring at 3 o'clock in the morning are exactly the winter of the day, and you have been in the "cat winter" for six hours.
Therefore, we call traditional Chinese medicine seasonal health preservation, specifically speaking of time. In a sense, the fundamental problem of TCM is time medicine. What can echo the natural rhythm is human behavior, that is to say, if you want to catch this train, you have to follow the train timetable, so you can catch this natural train, and you will be fine if you follow someone else's timetable. The only remedy for sleeping late is to get up early.
The only remedy for sleeping late is to get up early. This seems to be contradictory. Go to bed at night 1. The remedy is to get up at 5 o'clock?
Yes, get up and exercise for a while, then you can go back to sleep, but you can't sleep until 7 or 8 o'clock.
Not sleeping at night is called hurting the yang, and not getting up in the morning is called blocking the yang. Simply put, staying up late is like throwing away all the food at home in winter. The only remedy is to work hard, sow in spring and expect a bumper harvest in autumn, that is, to get up early.
What seems contradictory is actually not contradictory.
(5) It takes one minute to get up early.
Many people think this is impossible, but it is actually very simple. You can try. You get up at 5 o'clock, but you have psychological conflicts a few minutes before you get up. Can you get up or not? Get up, I'm so sleepy! Sorry, it's not good for your health! Contradiction! But when you really get up, move a little, walk, jump, or stretch, you will be less sleepy and feel relaxed and comfortable than lying in bed 1 minute ago.
We have repeatedly stressed that getting up early can boost liver qi, but many customers don't understand. You can see it once for yourself. At 5 o'clock in the morning, you are still sleeping in bed, or even if you can't wake up, you are lazy and sleepy. This is a sign that liver qi does not rise, or Yang Qi does not rise; You get up at 5 o'clock, do some exercise, and people will not be sleepy soon. Why? The yang in your body rises with your activities.
Spring takes the initiative, so wake up. When you get up at 5 o'clock, spring rises in your body. Huangdi Neijing said: Without spring, there would be no summer. Without spring, there would be no summer, let alone autumn and winter. There are four seasons in a day, so when you get up at 5 o'clock, the human body is in sync with nature, and you will experience four seasons in a day: spring, summer, autumn and winter, which are closely related. Without spring, there will be no long summer and no autumn harvest. In winter, there is nothing to hide. In the next spring, there are no seeds to cultivate and there is no way to plant them. This is a vicious circle.
Therefore, we emphasize that we must get up at 5 o'clock and not exceed 6 o'clock at the latest. After getting up, we should exercise, read and write clearly. And from 5 o'clock, Shao Yang can rise, and Shao Yang is the newborn sun. People can't get up one day before 5 o'clock, that is, there is no sun in their bodies for a day, and they can't get up for a year, that is, there is no sun in their bodies for a year. There is no sun in the human body, that is, the yang is insufficient, and it is not surprising that you get sick or die young.
Then why is 5 o'clock so difficult? Because you can't afford it. At 5 o'clock, it means that the hibernating animals begin to move. Similarly, in the human body, the yang begins to surge. When you get up early, the yang will rise and people will not be sleepy; Because you can't get up at 5 o'clock, people lie still, your liver qi can't rise, and you are sleepy. So what if you are really poor? You can get up at 5: 00, exercise 10-30 minutes, and then lie in a cage and sleep. At this time, the spirit of the sun has risen, so that you will be relaxed and happy after getting up again, and you will be full of energy for work and study. Otherwise, you will be very tired during the day, and you won't have enough energy to do anything except yawn or doze off.
Many people, especially young people, are used to staying up late at night and getting up in the morning, thinking that it doesn't matter. Don't you think I am in good health? You can ask those frail old people around you if they had the same thoughts as you when they were young. They all came from that age group. I believe it is too late to regret when people can't fight against nature.
People who get up at 5 o'clock in the morning should take a lunch break at noon, one is to nourish their hearts, and the other is to be energetic in the afternoon.
(6) Sleep is a matter of time.
So here, we have to get out of a misunderstanding-we have to sleep when we are sleepy and wake up naturally, that is, we have a full sleep before we are healthy. This is not entirely correct. We have been telling you an important knowledge point for several years.
Sleep is not a matter of time. It's not that I got enough sleep for eight or nine hours today and I'm healthy. Sleeping is a matter of time. It's winter from 9: 00 pm to 3: 00 am. Winter is the main way to avoid hiding. Yang is going to sleep in winter. This is a golden sleep time. When people sleep during this time, it is equivalent to putting themselves in this car driving in the world. When they get on this car, they will be healthy and will last forever. If I missed this train, I slept for an hour late, and I couldn't make up for it if I slept for three more hours the next day, just like a cold window for ten years, just for those hours of the college entrance examination. If you are confused during the exam, it is useless for you to stay awake at other times.
Many people have this feeling, from falling asleep at night to waking up in the morning, it feels very short, and if you sleep during the day, even if you are sleepy, you feel that you have slept for a long time, only to find it after waking up, but only for two or three hours. This is because when you sleep at night, the sun is below the earth (relative to China and the United States), above, below, above, below, above, below, below, above, below, below, below, below.
On the contrary, when the sun is above us during the day, gravity is upward, and the same spirit is seeking. People's yang also rises and falls, and people's sleep state will be very shallow, which can't be compared with sleeping at night in terms of time, quality and health care effect. Therefore, we often talk about "going to bed early and getting up early", "sleep is the first tonic", "sleep is the tonic of heaven, and people can't make it up", "sleep accounts for seven tenths of health" and so on.
If conditions permit, you'd better not work at night. Working at night is too harmful to your health. This is a tug of war between you and the sun's gravity. The mass of the sun is more than 300,000 times that of the earth, and its volume is more than1100,000 times that of the earth. What percentage of the earth is your mass and volume? If you really can't work, then the next best thing is not to work in three shifts. Today you work the night shift and then the day shift. This is equivalent to going back and forth between China and the United States every day, and you are jet lagged every day.
If we really understand the above things and follow them, you will get 70% health and longevity. In addition, mentality, diet and timely conditioning each accounted for 10%, and sleep alone accounted for 70%.
Now we often throw watermelons to pick up sesame seeds and spend a lot of money and time on manpower and medicine. As we all know, manpower and medicine are not as good as natural forces, and man is just a speck between heaven and earth. Dust will only live a long life if it is integrated with nature; When dust is divorced from nature, it will be born and destroyed instantly. These truths are very precious, only for those who are destined to listen.
