Nan Huaijin talks about insomnia

< p > < / p > < p > teacher Nan Huaijin tells: tips for treating insomnia due to incompatibility between the heart and kidney < / p > < p > the sympathy between water and fire is the separation of Kan, the water is the hexagram, the fire is from the hexagram, the pure is called the water, and the dryness is the fire. In the human body, water belongs to the kidney and fire is the heart. Therefore, according to Chinese medical books, people get less sleep when they are old, because they do not make friends with their hearts and kidneys. Babies are born with about sixteen hours of sleep and slowly turn into twelve. Children always have to sleep for ten hours, at least one hour. The older you get, the less you sleep, and when you get older, you can't sleep. < / p > < p > We often say that people always have several opposite phenomena: when they cry without tears, they come out when they laugh; now they tell him that they will soon forget, and they will remember things when they were young; when they sit down, they sleep, but they cannot sleep when they lie down. A lot of strange things when people get old are all the opposite. < / p > < p > according to the truth of medicine, if you don't have sex with heart and kidney, you don't have sex with water and fire. Taoism has a way, regardless of old age, middle age or youth, when insomnia, the body curled up to sleep, into a baby state, two feet close, two hands are also held up, easy to fall asleep, this is to reluctantly make the heart and kidney Qi communication. 'Jiao' means to connect and turn on the electricity so that you can fall asleep. < / p > < p > Old people go downwards, so they fart and leak much more. God ran up, Qi went down, so the old prostate is also prone to problems, diuresis dripping, not straight to the front of the rush out, but also because the heart and kidney do not make friends, water and fire. The heart and kidney are out of breath, because the upper and lower qi is pulled away. So when I was dying, I let out my breath from above and from below. I farted and defecated together. It was over in an instant, and it was taken off up and down. < / p > < p > therefore, our hexagram image is also called 'mutual hexagram', and we are linked to each other like each other. The fire and water of our human body, when the body is healthy, the fire is down, the water is on top, and the head is calm. < / p > < p > Nan Huaijin talks about sleep and health: how to sleep less and not sleepy? < / p > < p > Nan Huaijin: according to the observation of medicine and my experience, a person can only sleep for two hours at most, and the rest is a waste of time dreaming on a pillow. It's your habit of lying in bed and resting on the pillow. We don't need that much sleep, especially those who meditate and know that as long as you close your eyes and really fall asleep for three minutes at noon, it's equivalent to two hours of sleep. but be good at noon. The knowledge of this time is great again, and it has something to do with the laws of the universe, the laws of the earth, and the principles of yin and yang of the Book of changes, and you will feel that there is a force coming down under the heart, merging with the power of Dan Tian (on the kidney), the so-called 'both water and fire'. All of a sudden, you have slept enough and your spirit is a hundred times higher. So people who have insomnia or really have to stay up late at night must sleep for even 20 minutes when they are positive, and train themselves to fall asleep even if they can't sleep. After about 12:30 after the positron, you don't want to sleep, which is too bad. To make matters worse, when it is almost dawn, four or 05:00, five or six o'clock, you are so sleepy that you want to sleep. if you sleep at this time, you will lose your head all day. So people who want to work late, even if there is something big, they have to sleep for half an hour. When they want to sleep, don't sleep. The spirit of that day will be enough. 1. The rules of Sleep during the warring States period, Wen Zhi, a famous doctor, said to the King of Qi Wei, 'my way of keeping in good health puts sleep in the first place. People and animals grow only when they sleep, and sleep helps the spleen and stomach digest food. Therefore, sleep is the first tonic for health preservation. If a person does not sleep a night, it is difficult to recover his loss of 100 days.' The effective sleep time is from 21:00 to 5 a.m. Human beings are animals and belong to living things as well as plants. Their activities generate energy during the day (from 5am to 21:00) and begin cell division at night (from 5am to 5am), converting energy into new cells. It is a time for human cells to recuperate and bring forth new things, and it is also the time for people to rotate with the earth to the side facing the sun. Yin dominates stillness, which is a good time for people to sleep. Only when they rest at this time can they have a good physical and mental state. This is the same as babies who sleep too much and grow fat and fast, while children who love sleep are stunted. To keep in good health is to replace rotten cells with a large number of healthy cells, such as you can't get new cells if you can't sleep all night. If you die out a million cells during the day and only half a million cells are replenished in one night, then your body will be in deficit, and as time goes on, people will be chafed, like turnips. Why are there centenarians in the world? Because they go to bed on time at 21 o'clock every night. Plants absorb the energy of the sun and grow at night, so the sound of jointing can be heard in the rural fields at night. Both human beings and plants belong to living things, and the time for cell division is roughly the same. if we miss the good time to sleep at night, the newborn of the cell will not be able to catch up with its demise, and people will age or get sick prematurely. If people want to let nature take its course, they should follow the sun, that is, when I wake up, I sleep. People are as small as dust in front of the sun, 'working against the sun' is a stupid choice, sooner or later will be driven down by the sun's huge gravity. This is the objective truth. Poor sleep is a comprehensive problem, such as excessive liver fire, sleep vigilance, excessive stomach fire, restless sleep, liver yin deficiency, sleep fatigue. Second, Sleep and Diseases Modern living habits and lifestyles have brought many negative effects on people's bodies to form the 'four major diseases': fruit disease, refrigerator disease, TV and computer disease, and staying up late. The liver has a characteristic: blood is returned when lying down, and blood is supplied to the outside when sitting. In fact, 23:00 is the beginning of a new day, not 0 o'clock. This is our misunderstanding. The gallbladder meridian opened at 23:00. If you don't sleep, you will seriously injure the gallbladder, decrease the function of the viscera, decrease the metabolism and immunity one after another, and greatly reduce the function of the human body. It is easy to suffer from various mental diseases, such as depression, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, mania and so on. If the gallbladder is growing, the replacement of bile is disadvantageous, too thick and crystallized into stone, and you will get gallstone after a long time. If you pick the gallbladder, you will be timid as soon as you pick it, and the immunity of the whole body will drop by more than 50%, so you can't take it off. Use its great potential of the system to melt it. The liver meridian is the most prosperous when it is ugly, and it is sleepless when it is ugly. The liver cannot remove the toxic substances and produces fresh blood. Due to the disadvantage of storing blood, its face is blue, and it is easy to suffer from all kinds of liver diseases for a long time. Liver qi depression, irritability, headache, dizziness, red eye pain, tinnitus and deafness, irregular menstruation, fatigue, sore waist and knees, trance, and fainting in the street. Do not sleep during the child, will cause liver blood deficiency, causing hematemesis, nosebleed, gum bleeding and other bleeding syndrome. There will be blurred vision, photophobia of presbyopia, tears in the wind and other symptoms, but also the formation of glaucoma, cataracts and other eye diseases. There will also be muscle pain numbness, flexion and extension difficulties, spasms and convulsions, which can easily cause gray fingernails, calcium deficiency, patella malacia, epilepsy, osteoporosis and so on. It will also cause insufficient blood supply to the heart, cause symptoms such as palpitation and fibrillation, and seriously form cardio-cerebrovascular diseases such as heart disease and hypertension. Because the deficiency of liver qi can not help the digestion of spleen and stomach, the digestive function of spleen and stomach is not good, which is characterized by thick tongue coating, which will cause the collapse of middle qi for a long time. Liver deficiency leads to kidney deficiency, which is easy to cause reproductive system diseases. Hepatitis B virus carriers, because often do not sleep at night, the person is too weak, that is to say, the order is too chaotic, the virus has reached the cell. In other words, the hepatitis B virus has reached the cell. Hepatitis develops when the human body is at its weakest, and hepatitis B means 40% to 60% of liver cirrhosis in the future. Smart people should understand the relationship between heaven, earth and man! Third, the method of sleep from 23:00 to 3: 00 in the morning for Zi Chou, when the gallbladder meridian is most active, the liver and gallbladder want to return blood, 'lie down to return blood, stand up for blood supply.' If you lie down around 22 o'clock every night and are too quiet to speak, you will fall asleep by 23:00. The liver and gallbladder began to return blood, filtering out the toxic blood to produce fresh blood, and there were no gallstones, hepatitis, cysts and other diseases by the age of a hundred. If you stay up until more than 1 o'clock every day, the liver can not return blood, toxic blood can not be excreted, fresh blood can not be born, and bile can not be changed, so these people are easy to get gallstones, cysts, big Sanyang, small Sanyang various diseases. It is best not to talk half an hour before going to bed, as soon as you speak, the lungs move, and then the heart meridian moves again, it is easy for people to get excited, so it is difficult to fall asleep. 21Ru 00Rue 23RU 00 is Hai Shi. Hai Sanjiao Jingwang, Sanjiao Tongbai pulse. When you fall asleep in Hai, all veins are nourished, so centenarians have a common characteristic, that is, to fall asleep before 21:00. If women want to keep a good appearance for a long time, they should go to bed early and get up early. < / p > < p > Sleep must close the window, cannot turn on the fan, cannot turn on the air conditioner, the human illness many are related to this, because the person is sleeping, the qi and blood circulation is slow, the body temperature drops, the human body will form a kind of positive atmosphere on the surface, this kind of positive layer makes people call 'ghosts do not invade', what does it mean? people with sufficient yang do not have nightmares, it is this kind of yang that has the upper hand. When you turn on the air conditioner and the fan, the situation is different. when you open the window, the wind goes through the wind, and the wind enters the tendons. If you turn on the air conditioner, there is also wind, the wind goes into the tendons, it is cold to the bone, and you get up in the morning, your body is yellow, your face is yellow, and the muscles at the back of your neck are stiff and sore. Some people even start to have a fever. This is why the wind and cold invade the tendons and bones, and this is why the qi is injured. If it was hot, it would be a little less effective to open the door and close the window, but he wouldn't get up the next morning tired and stiff. < / p > < p > therefore, go to bed as early as possible, go to bed late, hurt the spirit of Shaoyang, must be tired and powerless the next day, to close the window, do not turn on the air conditioner, electric fan, protect Yang. < / p > < p > if there is something wrong with the stomach, there will be restlessness in sleep. If this person has insufficient stomach yang and drinks too much green tea, he will have stomach chill. when his stomach is cold, he can't sleep well, or if he eats too much things with sediment, his stomach will feel cold, and he must not sleep well. Another is stomach heat, and his mouth is full of hot air, so he can't sleep well like this. Another is stomach dryness, dry mouth and dry stomach. There is also a thick stomach, some people eat seafood, fish, stewed chicken, taste delicious, delicious can not be used more, do not dilute it, also can not sleep well; another abdominal swelling, also can not sleep over and over; another is stomach qi is too weak, cold sweat, this also can not sleep well. < / p > < p > the limbs should be warm when sleeping, because the limbs are not warm, and they must be due to deficiency of kidney yang. you should cover your hands and feet before going to bed, and cover your hands, feet, belly button and the life door behind you. < / p > The method of sleeping varies from person to person. Here are three methods: 1. Simply press your legs before going to bed, then sit on the bed and breathe naturally, feeling that your pores open and close with your breath. If you can yawn in tears, it is best to fall asleep when you want to sleep. 2. Lie on your back and breathe naturally, feeling like a spring breeze. First melt the big toe, then the other toes, then the feet, calves and thighs gradually melt. If you are not awake, do it all over again. 3. People who fall asleep quickly can lie on the right side and hold the right ear in the palm of the right hand. The right palm is fire and the ear is water. The two form water and fire and form the intersection of heart and kidney in the human body. For a long time, nourish the heart and kidney. < / p > < p > Sleep must get up early, even in winter, do not get up more than 6 o'clock, spring, summer and autumn try to get up before 5 o'clock, because people get up at Yin time (3: 00-5: 00) when the lungs are busy, which can stretch the lungs, comply with the lengthening of Yang, complete metabolism, eliminate turbid qi, and clear lung qi, which helps to nourish the lungs and adapt to the sun to raise the yang of the human body, so that people have sufficient yang in a day. Just like the engine, after this good time, it is very difficult to start the human yang. The accumulation of human yang in the lower part of the human body can not be launched and raised by the life gate, which will form lewd gas and seriously damage people's physical and mental health. < / p > < p > 5: 00 to 7: 00 in the morning is the most prosperous time for the large intestine meridian of the human body, and the human body needs to expel the metabolic turbid matter out of the body. If you don't get up at this time, the large intestine will not be fully active and can not well complete the turbid discharge function, making the turbid matter stay and form toxins, endangering the blood and viscera of the human body. < / p > < p > the stomach meridian of the human body is the most prosperous from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock in the morning, and the spleen meridian of the human body is the most prosperous from 9 o'clock to 11:00, when the ability of digestion, absorption, transportation and transportation is the best. if you don't get up at this time, the stomach acid of the human body will seriously corrode the gastric mucosa. if the human body cannot get nutrition at the best time to absorb nutrition, it will suffer from spleen and stomach disease for a long time, resulting in malnutrition and collapse of middle qi. So don't stay in bed! Lying in bed can cause dizziness, exhaustion and lack of sleep, so you should get up on time. In addition, getting up early can increase the efficiency of work. As the saying goes, 'three days early, one day's work.' Modern medicine has proved that people who go to bed early and get up early are less stressed and less likely to suffer from mental illness. Don't go out for exercise too early in the morning, because the Zhangqi and turbid qi in the tunnel are going up (especially in the city) before the sun comes out in the morning, which is very harmful to the human body. < / p > < p > the three major events of health care are sleep, convenience, diet, and other daily life, clothing, and so on. Sleep comes first among the three things. However, those who are not in harmony with their stomach will sleep restlessly at night, so they take convenience as the second place. On the other hand, if the diet is unregulated and the hunger is excessive, the intestines and stomach will be injured, and the nutrition will decrease day by day. Sleep mainly to calm the mind, God to peace of mind, should be in line with age, adults at most seven to eight hours, sleep will be dizzy, giddy, weak limbs, childhood must sleep for eight hours, or more than nine hours do not hinder, old or patient at most six hours is enough. < / p > < p > Note: < / p > < p > (1) it is advisable to go to bed early, not after 10:00, and not after nine o'clock for the elderly. Where 11:00, for Yang Sheng, belongs to the kidney, at this time insomnia, kidney water loss, heart and kidney connected, water deficit is the fire, the most likely to hurt the spirit. Never use sleeping pills to help you sleep. < / p > < p > (2) Don't think about the future on the pillow. Don't think about everything when you sleep, adjust your breath evenly, listen to its breath, from thick to thin, from fine to fine. Treat this body as if there is nothing, or like sugar into the water, disappear into nothing, and naturally fall asleep. < / p > < p > (3) if you have thoughts, you can't be at ease. Don't turn and think on the pillow. This is the most exhausting. You can sit up for a while and then go to sleep. < / p > < p > (4) if you belong to the heart at noon, that is, from 11:00 to one o'clock in the morning, when yin is born, and if you can't sleep, you can sit still for a quarter of an hour and close your eyes to rest. Those who have heart disease should pay attention to it. If you pay attention to it at 02:00 every day, you will become more and more energetic, without heartbeat, diarrhea or frequent urination. < / p > < p > (5) early in summer and late in winter < / p > < p > how to sleep less and not sleepy < / p > < p > Why can't you sleep too much? Because when we need sleep, that is, the state of rest, that is, the period from sleep to waking up is what you need. When we wake up, your need has been met, it has already rested. If you go to sleep again, it is dreaming, dreaming, flying and running from place to place, and when you wake up again, it is particularly tired, because the movement of this brain has begun to be active, no longer rest, and sometimes even more tired than during the day. So, you get up as soon as you sleep, and wake up. < / p > < p > in fact, four hours of sleep is enough for us. Why are we still sleepy? It is our habits that are sleepy, not what our bodies need. If you sleep more, you will have more dreams and fatigue, which will do great harm. Sleeping more also has a harm, which is bad for the body, oppresses the kidneys, and oppresses the internal organs, which will lead to relaxation and rigidity in all aspects of the body, muscle relaxation and joint rigidity, which are all harmful. If you don't believe me, give it a try. You have to lie down for five or six months without moving. Finally, before you lie down, you can walk ten or twenty miles or dozens of miles. After you lie down for half a year, you can't even walk three or five miles. Because of what? That is, the muscles are loose, there is no strength, the joints are rigid, they can't move, and they're weak in their exhale, and they're in a bad mood. If you really sleep less, it won't be sleepy. Sleep too much without wisdom, and your head is dizzy. Some people may worry: I sleep less, my brain is confused, and sometimes I can't remember things. Yes, I can't remember anything on this side, but after you sleep less and work hard, it has wisdom, and wisdom slowly comes out of your heart. You want to do a thing well, you sleep a lot, you don't necessarily do it well; if you can reduce sleep, sometimes the goals you want to achieve are mature without effort. < / p >
