Master Sheng Yan: A relaxing remedy for everyone, just five minutes a day

Modern people’s lives are usually very stressful. How to use really effective methods to relax yourself is very important.

Relaxation and indulgence are not the same.

Some people take singing karaoke, dancing, drinking, car racing, driving, fishing, climbing, boating, playing ball, etc., as their relaxation pastime. These activities can indeed adjust the rhythm of life, change the environment of life, can buffer the body and mind, and can also achieve the purpose of relaxing oneself in a short time.

However, after entertaining activities, they often feel tired. Originally tired from work, in order to relieve the tiredness of work, I ran to dance and revel, drink and get drunk, and the next day I will get tired of emptiness. Originally I went to play because I was tired from work, and I went to work when I was tired. People who are so busy with work and playing, tired and tired, don’t know why they’re alive, and don’t know why they want to be alone. This is called drunken life and dreaming of death.


The way to relax the body and mind at any time is: first relax the mind, then relax the muscles and nerves, and finally relax the blood vessels. In this way, the whole body is comfortable and the body and mind are balanced.

Usually I teach ordinary people to use the "five-minute meditation method" to relax themselves:

"First adjust all parts of the body to a comfortable state, allowing a place to lie down. It is good to lie down for a while, and leaning comfortably on the sofa It’s also very good. If you can’t lie down and have nowhere to sit, it’s good to stand easily. "

" Then relax your eyes, mind, facial muscles, and make a relaxed smile. Then lift your shoulders and take three deep breaths. Keep breathing and relax your lower abdomen. At this time, your whole body should relax." The

method is done for five to ten minutes, and its relaxing effect can make you feel like a great enjoyment, not just for your mind. Quiet, and the body is fully rested. When you work again, your mind will be clear and your whole body will be full of vitality.


Secondly, when people encounter a sudden impulse, for example, when they are frightened by violent movements and sharp sounds, or when they are provoked by other people with foul language, swear words, mean words, unjust words, etc., they may be hysterical. In response, even if people are calm, their blood pressure will rise and their heartbeat will speed up. Because when stimulated, the "heart" cannot be balanced and the whole body is in a state of alert. The pulse beats rapidly with the heart, and the muscles contract with tension. This time is the most exhausting and physically damaging. If you practice relaxing yourself in normal times, you can face all stressful events with a calm mind. The first job of

at this time is to withdraw your attention from the object that stimulates you, pay attention to your own breathing, and then pay attention to your own thoughts, then your mind will immediately calm and settle down. Then take your usual breath and pay attention to your feelings and feelings between exhales and breaths. When your mood relaxes, your body will also relax. At this time, if people want you to be angry, you can't get angry anymore; if they want you to fight back, you won't fight back.

As long as you know how to relax yourself, you can stay away from evil, invulnerable, and prolong your life.
