Chapter 7 [The Method of Listening to the Breath]

"Don't listen to it with your ears, but listen to it with your breath; don't listen to it with your breath, but listen to it with your heart."

These are two formulas that Hong Kang suddenly remembered.

I forgot where I saw it.

I just remembered that I was looking up the 【Listening Method】, and I thought these two sentences were interesting, so I memorized them.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that it can help me to calm down quickly.

After eating, Hong Kang climbed into bed early.

Lie on the bed and look at the ceiling.

Hong Kang did not fall asleep.

Instead, he began to experiment with the method of listening to breaths.

"Hoo~~Suck~~"

"Hoo~~Suck~~"

First took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.

Hong Kang's attention gradually discarded other distractions, and only focused on the in and out of the breath.

His chest rose and fell slightly, very softly, very slowly, very lightly.

The so-called "listening" of ordinary people is to listen to various sounds with two ears; the so-called "listening" here is by no means listening to the sounds of various things.

Some people may have doubts: since it is listening, there must be someone to listen to, so if you don’t listen to the sound, what’s the point of listening?
This Hong Kang knew, the first move was to listen to the breath in his nose.

For those who have a normal respiratory system and no obstacles, the breath in the nose has no sound, so it is said "don't listen with your ears";
Although there is no sound, I can know whether the breath in the nose goes out and comes in, whether it is fast or slow, thick or thin, even a deaf person will feel this way, so it is said "listen to the breath".

After the breathing is slender and relaxed, Hong Kang will make it natural.

From time to time, there will be various distracting thoughts, Hong Kang will ignore them, and will not deliberately forget or reject them;

Because this kind of "deliberate" is also a kind of "intentional".

"...Call~~Suck~~Call~~Suck~~"

Gradually, Hong Kang even forgot to breathe, and unconsciously fell into sleep.

the next day.

sunny.

The light shining on Hong Kang's face through the window was warm.

"Ah~ I slept so well!!"

Hong Kang stretched his waist, his bones creaked slightly.

"Huh? My spirit has improved a lot. Could it be that this [Listening Breath Method] is also useful for restoring my spirit?"

Hong Kang said to himself: "It's hard to say! Scientists are not saying that if humans enter deep sleep, they can not only adjust their spirits, one or two hours is worth the usual seven or eight hours of sleep; they can also improve endocrine and enhance immunity. sleeping."

In Hong Kang's mind, improving endocrine is not a disguised form of improving physical fitness!
There is a saying that goes, "it's easy to improve your physical fitness, but it's not easy to improve your physical fitness."

"However, I seemed to fall asleep last night without knowing it. Try again tonight."

After having breakfast.

Hong Kang cleaned the front and back of the house, and wiped the windows and tables clean and clean, making people feel comfortable.

He is still young and can't do much work.

And yesterday's "Zama" suddenly hurt the muscles a bit, but the cleaning is still ok.

Finding some old newspapers, Hong Kang browsed some of the information on them.

Nowadays, there is no Internet, and the only way to get information about the outside world is through newspapers.

""Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", "Star Morning Post"..." Hong Kang read, "There are not many types! What if I run a newspaper in the future?"

Hong Kang's thoughts diverged all of a sudden, but he shook his head for a moment.

Running a newspaper requires not only money, but also talents, territory, contacts, channels, and more importantly, a good environment.

Although the traditional Chinese characters are still incomplete, Hong Kang has no problem reading newspapers.

After reading for a while, I finished reading these newspapers, and there was nothing new.

night.

As soon as Pang Kaibo came back, he yelled strangely: "Wow!! Is this my home? Did I go right??"

Seeing that all the tables and chairs had been polished brightly, and some places where dust and dirt had accumulated were cleaned up, Pang Kaibo didn't dare to step in for a while, for fear of dirtying the place.

All kinds of homes are arranged in a patchwork manner, and the weeds in the yard are neatly trimmed.

If the house is not too old, it is no problem to say that it is a guild hall.

"Akang, you... did all of this?" Pang Kaibo put on the slippers that Hong Kang handed over, and looked around.

"Yeah! It's fine at home. You all went out to do errands, so I will tidy up the house."

"Don't tell me you're taking a break!" Pang Kaibo gave a thumbs up.

The main thing is that Hong Kang followed the habits of later generations when arranging the home. From the present point of view, it is naturally low-key and classy, ​​generous and not tacky.

Night falls.

Hong Kang started his own [Listening and Breathing Method] practice again.

Through last night's practice, he had mastered some of the tricks.

The so-called "listen to the breath" requires both ears to listen to the inside, as if listening to the sound of breathing in and out.

It is not to replace that thought with this thought, nor to concentrate on guarding the nose or lung orifice, nor to listen to the sound in the nose. As long as you feel the whereabouts of your breath and don't let it hide it, it is right.

As for the speed, thickness, shallowness and depth of breathing, let it change naturally, and do not use your mind to forcefully control it.

"Listen" means to concentrate.

When you gradually have the feeling of falling asleep, you must not force yourself to resist the drowsiness; you must take this opportunity to fall asleep.

This is the time when the spirit is at its most effective in restoring health from enfeebledness.

Hong Kang himself guessed that when he was familiar with the "Listening Breathing Method", after hearing it, the breath should be interdependent, and there would be no distracting thoughts, even the breath seemed to be non-existent.

This may be the state of "quietness" as Taoism calls it.

However, it's still early for me now.

"...Call~~Suck~~Call~~Suck~~"

Under the more proficient [Listening Breath], Hong Kang fell into a 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, calmed down, breathed naturally, sank to the dantian, and his muscles were slightly tense.

He no longer pursues standing as long as possible, but pays more attention to those details.

The static load force on the legs is the greatest, because it bears the weight of the whole body.

This requires the legs to have a lot of bearing capacity. At this time, the throat needs to be naturally self-locking, that is, only the nose can be used to breathe naturally; at the same time, the anus is raised and the yin is contracted, so that the bearing capacity of the upper and lower parts can be exercised.

If any of these two places is too weak, no other part of the body will have a stronger bearing capacity.

Hong Kang pondered, this is a bit like the state of "balance of two forces" in physics.

After about 15 minutes.

After Hong Kang let out a long breath, he stopped his momentum and got up.

With one breath out, the tense muscles relaxed, and the sweat came out like a faucet was turned on.

"I seem to... have a better understanding of the mechanism of the "horse step pile"."
