Chapter 25: Meditation and Deep Sleep
On the river bank.
Chen Yushu sat at the foot of the locust tree, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he took out a book from his arms.
On the book, the five words "White Tiger Visualization Method" are clearly visible.
"The inheritance of the Yin people, the method of cultivation."
A glimmer of divine light flashed in Chen Yushu's eyes.
After lunch, he didn't even practice the standing meditation, but ran out impatiently, just to learn this method of visualization.
Without hesitation, he opened the book.
“There are countless ways to practice the immortal way.
In ancient times, there were methods of eating dew, gathering qi, and sensing the stars.
Later, some people measured their physical constitutions, identified their spiritual roots, cultivated the various spiritual energies of heaven and earth, and entered the Tao to practice.
However, the heaven and earth are subject to change, and the human world is subject to change.
The spiritual energy is thin and the negative energy is growing, so for hundreds of years, people who practice Taoism can only enter the Tao through "God".
The White Tiger Visualization Method is a method of using the spirit to enter the Tao."
The opening sutra gave Chen Yushu a chill in his heart.
In ancient times, one could practice by eating dew, gathering qi, and sensing the qi of the stars in the sky?
Later, cultivation was based on physical fitness and spiritual roots.
But now, because the spiritual energy is thin and the yin energy is too much, we can only rely on "God" to practice.
God is spiritual power.
“Only when the spirit is full can the qi be at peace.
Only when the qi is harmonious can it reflect one's own body, making the practitioner's body pure and clear.
Only in this way can one draw the first ray of spiritual energy into the body and embark on the true path of cultivation."
Chen Yushu continued to read and found that the secret book introduced the true practice method of "White Tiger Visualization Method" later.
After reading the entire article, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I was able to obtain these inheritances through Li Pei's guidance in my dreams.
Some of them are only secret codes and recordings of the Li family. Without his guidance, it would be impossible to discover them. It would also be easy to practice them incorrectly, leaving behind problems."
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
He knew that in this world, all kinds of cultivation methods were strictly protected. In order to make the inheritance perfect and prevent it from being lost outside, all kinds of methods were devised.
If you don't know the key points, even if you really get the method of cultivation, it will be difficult to learn, and you may even go astray.
Just like the Medicine King Posture that he had practiced before, the secret manual was directly handed to him, and he could only practice the moves. He would never have been able to learn the specific breathing method without Master Qian's explanation and guidance.
He read it three times and only closed the book after making sure that he had not missed anything.
The practice of "White Tiger Visualization Method" is mainly to visualize the white tiger. At the end of the practice, there is also a visualization picture album.
The painting on it is a white tiger.
It has both divine and physical form, and looks quite fierce and domineering.
Of course, these alone are not enough for him to practice this technique.
Because the White Tiger Visualization Method is a method of entering into a state of meditation and visualization.
Only when the mind is calm and enters a certain special state, and then uses a little "spiritual light" to visualize the white tiger figure, can one practice.
The method of entering into meditation is the most introduced topic in the entire secret book.
"According to the secret manual, entering into a state of meditation means being free of thoughts and completely relaxed, with only a little spiritual light focused on cultivation.
It is a state of practice.
Even for a person with sufficient spiritual power, it is difficult to enter this state.
Therefore, many auxiliary means are needed.
Such as burning incense, bathing, worshiping gods, chanting scriptures and mantras, making hand gestures and spells... various ways to enter into meditation.
Of course, there is also a relatively simple method, which is to use the assistance of magic incense.
Among the Dharma incense, there is a kind of calming incense that can "fix" the mind of the cultivator, thus helping him to quickly enter into meditation.
All these methods are to help practitioners enter a state of meditation..."
Chen Yushu thought silently and felt the difficulty.
Burning incense, bathing, chanting scriptures and using magic spells are not easy for him in his current environment.
As for Dharma incense, it is even more unacceptable.
He didn't have any on his hands.
"However, the description of entering a state of meditation in the White Tiger Visualization Method is very similar to a state I witnessed in my previous life."
After comparing the descriptions, Chen Yushu came up with some understanding of his own.
In his previous life, he was bombarded with all kinds of information, and even he himself didn't know what was stuffed into his mind.
However, through the description, he found that this so-called meditation was very similar to the description of "deep sleep" in a news report he had seen in his previous life.
The news reports that when people enter deep sleep, even if they only rest for half an hour a day, they can still maintain high energy throughout the day.
That is, during deep sleep, the human brain enters a dormant state, which will greatly eliminate fatigue, and the whole body will get the greatest recovery.
“So, samadhi, to some extent, is deep sleep.
However, unlike deep sleep, when entering a state of concentration, there is still a little bit of 'spiritual light' in the mind. With this spiritual light, one can subjectively visualize the White Tiger Atlas, practice, and cultivate.
Chen Yushu compared silently and found that after understanding it this way, he could actually enter a deep sleep and then enter a state of meditation to practice.
Of course, he didn't know whether it was feasible or not.
Only after you truly begin to practice can you understand.
And it is obvious that the environment he is in at this time is not suitable.
So he took out the second book from his arms.
"The Art of the Rising Sun."
He was too eager for this mysterious thing.
It was inconvenient to stay in Room No. 3, and he had to start work again tomorrow, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to take it out and look at it more.
“The Chaoyang Talisman Technique is the art of making talismans.
What is introduced the most is the production of talisman pens, talisman paper and talisman ink. In addition, the method of drawing talismans is also introduced.
Talisman pen, talisman paper, and talisman ink are necessary for making talismans. As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without these things, even if you have a lot of skills, it will be difficult to make talismans.
But this alone is not enough.
As introduced in the Chaoyang Talisman Technique, the prerequisite for starting to make talismans is to enter a state of meditation.
Because only after entering into a state of meditation can one attract the "spirit".
Only by drawing runes with the power of the ‘god’ can the corresponding talisman effect be achieved…”
After watching for a while, Chen Yushu frowned.
He knew that making talismans was not easy.
This time I watched it with the intention of gaining more knowledge and trying something new.
Only after actually watching it did I realize how difficult it is.
Enter into meditation!
Before, the meditation he envisioned was deep sleep.
Nowadays, drawing talismans requires entering into a state of meditation.
This must mean that there is a difference between this state of concentration and deep sleep.
After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to fall into deep sleep while standing.
"Could it be... this is a realm that can only be achieved when a 'God' is powerful enough?"
Chen Yushu thought about it and couldn't help but have some guesses.
