When I bought the Korean version of "Secret Garden" on the Internet, it was not so popular. At the time, I was attracted by the word "decompression" and placed an order with the mentality of giving it a try.
didn’t think about it. In the long 20-day logistics cycle, this coloring book with no text became popular in mainland China. The Chinese version was placed in the most eye-catching position of all bookstores overnight, and even the circle of friends was divided into two categories. People, one type is painted "Secret Garden", the other type is not painted. What is the role of
"Secret Garden"? Is its decompression function real, or is it just a gimmick?
Okay, let's talk about personal experience first.
I bought the Korean version, because the price is high, and a set of original colored pencils is included.
I deliberately found a light and windy night, with a somewhat sacred attitude, I opened the package of the book.
flipped through the entire book and found that the patterns on many pages were extremely gorgeous and cumbersome. I finally turned to a simple page and found that there was only one flower and two bees. I was overjoyed.
Oye, my secret garden, decided to start with this simple flower. The original pencil of
is very easy to use. I first concentrated on painting the two bees, and immediately added two living creatures to the picture. Then I picked out four or five color pencils, and slowly and slowly painted the entire flower. During the painting process of
, my brain was blank. I didn't think about anything except what kind of color combination would look better. In the process of applying
, my fingers are diligent, I keep applying color all the time, and I don't want to stop when my fingers are sore. During the
painting process, time is static. After I finished painting, I realized that more than 10 minutes had passed.
For more than 10 minutes, my attention was on this matter, and my effort poured out a beautiful flower. It is so beautiful that it gave me amazing and joy in return.
I shared it with my circle of friends, which naturally attracted a lot of likes from relatives and friends.
After a few more days, I started to paint a scarecrow. The scarecrow pattern of
is relatively cumbersome, with several birds on the arms, complicated patterns on the hat and clothes, and a large cluster of flowers under the feet.
Looking at this picture, I have a big head. I know that my attention can't stay for so long. It is impossible to paint it all in one breath.
Later, I found a way. I split the task into two parts. I painted the scarecrow first. The small garden on the bottom of its feet is going to be painted later.
suddenly understood a truth.
"Secret Garden" can be decompressed because the author Johanna Besford discovered a mystery. The mystery is to manage people's attention.
, an illustrator from Scotland, built a kingdom with 96 pictures and various flowers, animals, and buildings bordered in black. This kingdom is colorless and dead, but if it attracts enough attention, it is another living kingdom full of flowers. This principle of
is similar to the modern meditation meditation.
People's thoughts exist all the time, just like our breathing, as long as life exists, it will never stop. The core of
meditation is to relax the body and mind, and then use a certain method to detect, observe, and guide one's thoughts.
Each of us has eyes, ears, nose, mouth, body, and heart. These are six. In the current era, our six roots are rushed around by the fragmented torrent of information, so there are more and more delusions, and the mind is naturally unable to settle. In an article by Master Sheng Yan,
introduced several methods of meditation.
1. It is with the breath, the number of breaths
with the breath
with the breath and with the abdomen, with the sniff, only pay attention to the feeling of breathing from the nostril; with the abdomen, pay attention to the natural peristalsis of the lower abdomen with the breath, do not control the breathing, and do not care Nian commanded the lower abdomen to move.
Counting breath is the ins and outs of the respiration hole, which can be counted out or in.
2. Recite the Buddha and count the number of the Buddha
Some people are not used to the method of counting the breath. They can use the method of reciting the Buddha. You can recite "Nanmou Amitabha" or "Nanmou Guanshiyin Bodhisattva"; recite a holy name and count a number.Count from the first to the tenth, and then count from one.
3. Just meditate, silently
Just meditating is to concentrate on the body "sitting", the posture of sitting, and the feeling of sitting. There is no other delusional thoughts in the mind, just knowing that you are sitting upright. If you find delusional thoughts, quickly return your thoughts to "sit". Slowly the delusional thoughts will become less and less, and your physical sensations will gradually disappear, but you know clearly that you are still meditating in your heart.
Amidst you and me, how can you let go of the fate in your heart? First, disperse the delusion, take the focus of a method, and then let it go from cohesion, then the mind will be free.
Analyzed from this principle, the coloring of "Secret Garden" is actually the same as Buddhist meditation.
