"Don't listen with your ears, listen with your breath; don't listen with your breath, listen with your heart."
These are two mantras that Hong Kang suddenly remembered.
I have forgotten where I saw it.
I only remember that I was looking up the [Listening to Breathing Method]. I thought these two sentences were quite interesting, so I memorized them.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that it can help me calm down quickly.
After eating, Hong Kang climbed into bed early.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling.
Hong Kang did not fall asleep.
Instead, he tried the [Listening to Breathing Method].
“Breathe~~Breathe~~”
“Breathe~~Breathe~~”
First he took a long, deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it.
Hong Kang's attention gradually abandoned other distractions and only focused on the inflow and outflow of his own breath.
His chest rose and fell slightly, very softly, very slowly, very lightly.
What ordinary people call "listening" means listening to various sounds with two ears; but what is called "listening" here is by no means listening to the sounds of various things.
Some people may have questions: Since it is said to be listening, there must be someone to listen to, so if you don't listen to the sound, what are you listening to?
Hong Kang knew that the first step was to listen to the breath in his nose.
Anyone whose respiratory system is normal without any obstruction will have no sound when breathing in their nose, so they say "don't listen with your ears";
Although there is no sound, you can still know the breath coming in and out of your nose, whether it is fast or slow, thick or thin. Even a deaf person will have this feeling, so it is said that "listening to breath".
After breathing becomes thin and relaxed, Hong Kang will make it natural.
From time to time there will be various distracting thoughts, but Hong Kang will ignore them and will not deliberately forget or reject them;
Because this "deliberate" is also a kind of "intentional".
"...Hua~~Breathe~~Hua~~Breathe~~"
Gradually, Hong Kang even forgot to breathe, and unconsciously fell into sleep.
the next day.
sunny.
The light shining through the window on Hong Kang's face was warm.
"Ah~ I slept so well!!"
Hong Kang stretched out, his bones cracking slightly.
"Huh? I feel much better now. Is this [breath-listening method] useful in restoring my energy?"
Hong Kang said to himself: "It's hard to say! Scientists are not saying that if humans enter deep sleep, they can not only regulate their spirits, and one or two hours is worth the usual seven or eight hours of sleep; they can also improve endocrine and enhance immunity. Sleeping."
In Hongkang's opinion, improving endocrine is not just a disguised improvement of physical fitness!
There is a saying that "It is easy to improve physical fitness, but it is not easy to improve physical fitness."
"However, I seemed to have fallen asleep without realizing it last night. Let's try again tonight."
After breakfast.
Hong Kang cleaned the house from front to back, wiped the windows and tables, and made them clean and comfortable for people to see.
He is still young and cannot do much work.
And yesterday's "zama" suddenly hurt my muscles a little, but I can still clean up.
Hong Kang found some old newspapers and browsed some of the information on them.
Nowadays, without the Internet, the only way to learn about the outside world is through newspapers.
"Ta Kung Pao, Wen Wei Po, Star Morning Post..." Hong Kang thought, "There are not many types! What if I start a newspaper in the future?"
Hong Kang's thoughts suddenly went away, but he shook his head immediately.
Running a newspaper not only requires money, but also talent, territory, connections, channels, and more importantly, a good environment.
Although the traditional Chinese characters are still incomplete, Hong Kang can read the newspaper without any problem.
After reading for a while, I finished reading these newspapers. There was nothing new.
night.
As soon as Pang Kaibo came back, he screamed strangely: "Wow!! Is this my home? Did I go right??"
Seeing that all the tables and chairs had been wiped clean, and some places where dust and dirt accumulated had been cleaned, Pang Kaibo didn't dare to step in for a while, for fear of soiling the place.
All kinds of furniture are arranged in an orderly manner, and the weeds in the yard are neatly trimmed.
If the house wasn't too old, it wouldn't be a problem to call it a clubhouse.
"Akang, these... are all your fault??" Pang Kaibo put on the slippers handed over by Hong Kang and looked around.
"Yes! There's nothing wrong at home. You all went out to do things, so I tidied up the house."
"You can't call it a slap in the face!" Pang Kaibo gave a thumbs up.
The main reason is that when Hong Kang arranged his furniture, he followed the habits of later generations. From the current point of view, it is naturally low-key and classy, generous and not tacky.
Night falls.
Hong Kang started his own [Listening to Breathing Method] practice again.
Through last night's practice, he had mastered some of the tricks.
The so-called "listening to the breath" requires both ears to listen back inward, as if listening to the sound of breathing in and out.
It is not about replacing that thought with this thought, nor is it concentrating on the nose or lung apertures, nor is it listening to any sounds in the nose. As long as you feel the whereabouts of each exhalation and inhalation, and do not let it escape you, this is considered right.
As for the speed, thickness, shallowness and depth of breathing, let it change naturally, without forcing it to be controlled by your mind.
The meaning of "listening" is to concentrate.
When you gradually feel like falling asleep, you must not force yourself to fight against sleepiness; you must take this opportunity to fall asleep deeply.
This is the most effective step in the process of restoring mental health from weakness.
Hong Kang himself speculated that when he became familiar with the "Listening to Breathing Method", after listening to it, the breath should be connected, distracting thoughts should be gone, and even breathing would seem to no longer exist.
This may be what Taoists call the state of "entering tranquility".
However, it is still early for me now.
"...Hua~~Breathe~~Hua~~Breathe~~"
With the increasingly proficient [Listening to Breathing], Hong Kang fell into deep sleep again.
A few days later, Hong Kang, whose muscles had fully recovered, started "Zama" again.
This time, he entered the state very quickly, calming down, breathing naturally, breathing heavily in his dantian, and his muscles were slightly tense.
He no longer pursues standing as long as possible, but pays more attention to those details.
The legs are subject to the greatest static load because they have to bear the weight of the entire body.
This requires a lot of endurance in the legs. At this time, the throat needs to lock itself naturally, that is, you can only breathe naturally through the nose; at the same time, the anus is lifted and the vagina is contracted, so that the endurance of the upper and lower parts can be exercised.
If the bearing capacity of any one of these two parts is too weak, no other part of the body will have a strong bearing capacity.
When Hong Kang thought about it, this was a bit like the state of "balance of two forces" in physics.
About fifteen minutes later.
After Hong Kang took a long breath, he stopped and stood up.
As he breathed out, his tense muscles relaxed, and sweat came out like a faucet being turned on.
"I seem to... have a better understanding of the movement mechanism of the "horse stance"."
