There are four methods of supporting yang suspension moxibustion, namely, transport method, suspension gas gathering method, pecking and pressing gas method, and wagging tail and moving gas method.
The method of rotating qi is used to "warm the meridian", suspend and close the qi machine, warm qi and blood, peck and restrain qi, stimulate the meridian qi and guide qi and blood. Each method has its uses.
For children, the channels and collaterals are relatively unobstructed, and the most commonly used methods are the manipulation of luck and hanging qi.
Because many people know the hanging gas gathering method, we will focus on the rotating luck method, which is also the main method of hanging moxibustion at ordinary times.
Second, be compassionate.
There is a description in "the precept of supporting yang": supporting yang as the door, establishing compassion, helping the suffering of the public, burning moxa sticks, becoming a moxibustion person, and self-reliance rules.
Fuyang people, three seals are disciples, one seal is psychology to show constant love, the other seal is sky, and the third seal is sunshine to show warmth.
It can be seen that the most important thing of Fuyang moxibustion is compassion, and the whole moxibustion process needs the participation of the heart yang in order to get into the Tao.
Moxibustion without heart, great love and wish is incomplete moxibustion.
Therefore, in our hanging moxibustion technique, ideas are involved everywhere. If we grasp this, our technology will be half successful.
Third, the intention of moxibustion
In terms of specific techniques, there is a sentence that needs to be understood: burning Ai Fuyang, transporting fire flexibly, transforming qi, absorbing spirit with qi, cultivating both spirit and soul, and keeping evil spirits and eliminating evil spirits.
Here, three aspects are mentioned about the essence and spirit of Fuyang hanging moxibustion. The first step is to soften the shape, the second step is to transform qi, and the third step is to absorb the spirit.
In the process of hanging moxibustion, the left and right hands need to cooperate with each other, the right hand holds moxa and the left hand protects moxa, and the left hand moves with the movement of the right hand, or the right hand moves with the traction of the left hand, so that one is virtual and the other is solid.
The big aspect is protecting moxa with the left hand, and the small aspect is gathering gas and sensing the temperature of moxa fire, so that we can adjust the speed of moxibustion.
Fourth, put your mind on God: be open, wait for your anger, and get angry.
1, acupoint opening: Before moxibustion, the acupoints should be opened, just like turning on the power. There are two ways to combine them.
One is the pressing and kneading method, that is, rubbing the acupoints of limbs with the thumb; The acupoints of the trunk can be rubbed with the whole palm or the root of the palm, similar to the action of rubbing the abdomen. The acupoints in the abdomen can be rubbed directly, but they don't have to be so complete.
The other is to dredge meridians, which is used by adults. We say that moxibustion has qi and goes straight to the diseased site.
Moxibustion can be conducted or diffused along the meridians, and it is necessary to dredge the meridians to make this road smooth.
2. Wait for breath: Both sides calm down and concentrate completely. Waiting for breath is the preparation before moxibustion.
Moxibustion practitioners and moxibustion recipients should keep their spirits in a relaxed environment, and moxibustion practitioners should focus on moxibustion recipients and moxibustion points;
Moxibustion practitioners put away their minds, observe the location of moxibustion, and be ready to feel the conduction of moxa sticks at any time. Moxibustion practitioners are required to relax their waist, sink their shoulders and elbows, calm their breath, think of the four wishes, raise their compassion, and strive to form an aura so that knowledge and action can begin to be integrated.
3, get angry: moxibustion, moxibustion, moxa, the three are officially connected. Ai Huo came slowly from far and near, paused for a moment, and then slowly went away, as if the glacier of the human body suddenly met the seeds of fire, and as if the sun gently and forcefully hit the ice again and again. A feeling of mutual appreciation is gradually born between them, and the moxibustion practitioner will feel the state of moxibustion energy, so that the body and consciousness will try their best to feel and find this state. We call this state anger.
Waiting for qi and getting qi are the integration of the consciousness or mind of the moxibustion giver and the moxibustion recipient, opening their hearts and accepting each other. This is an important step for us to resolve the knot with our heart.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) Flexible Luck: Ascension, Acquisition and Luck.
1, starting: the key point of starting is the power point. Yang-supporting moxibustion should be soft, continuous and elastic. This strength comes from the strongest waist. Through the waist force, the force is transmitted to the shoulder, then to the elbow, and finally to the wrist, forming the operation of Ai. In the process of transmission, the strength loses its fortitude and becomes full of toughness, and the whole limb and wormwood are also flexible.
2, gaining momentum: the acupuncture point being moxibustion should be regarded as a face, and we like to compare it to a quiet river. The purpose of moxibustion is to turn stagnant water into living water. How can I live? That's agitation, centering on acupoints and turning in circles. Like a stick, the moxa sticks spread in all directions from the middle, gradually expanding round and round, and then shrinking round and round, thus forming a whirlpool. Like a hurricane, the acupoints in the middle form a void with negative pressure, so that the energy of the moxa sticks will unconsciously penetrate into it.
The key to gaining strength lies in this trajectory. Through the force of the body and the overall coordination, the running track of the moxa stick becomes a circle. During this operation, the moxa sticks are opened and closed, and the strength goes out and the virtual strength comes back. The left hand is responsible for gas gathering and traction, and the right hand is responsible for fire transportation and penetration, body and mind integration, and moxibustion.
3. Luck: Luck requires flexibility. So we should do three things: flat, round and slippery. Flat, that is, moxa sticks revolve on a plane, so be steady, not up and down, up and down; A circle, that is, the track of revolution is a circle, and the track of a circle is smooth and can be smooth. In addition, the movement of the circle is tight moxibustion and slow movement. In the smooth circular motion, smooth sliding, there can be a combination of speed and speed, but it is not rough.
Especially at the two corners of the circle, it is easy to stop. At this time, you should be good at avoiding it with the help of physical strength and wrist movements. When you are smooth, it is easier to form an opening force between your hands and your body. You obviously feel a kind of flexible inertia pulling each other, and that kind of hearty feeling has reached a state where the moxibustion practitioner is comfortable and the moxibustion practitioner is comfortable. This is the secret that the moxibustion practitioner can stay there for two or three hours without being tired.
Sixth, the power of penetrating fire: moxibustion combined with pressing
Acupuncture plays an important role in moxibustion, and the energy supplement of moxibustion is gradually infiltrating. If it doesn't penetrate, it will spread. At this time, it is necessary to press acupuncture to let energy enter the body better.
Massage is the main guiding technique of manipulation and luck, that is, rubbing the whole moxibustion surface, which means driving the movement of the palm, but you can't feel the change of qi. Finally, you slowly raise your hand and slowly move it away, which seems to be separated.
Seven, practice the maneuver luck method.
Some of my feelings about practicing manipulation and luck are constantly felt and thought during the process of practicing moxibustion.
The first is the need to break the deadlock.
This is what Fan Shi said in the public welfare class of Longquan Temple in Tangshan. I remember it was the first day's homework. The teacher called this feeling of moxa fire from far to near in a focused and calm state, as if the glacier of the human body felt the scorching sun from a distance, which was called getting angry.
The warmth that comes and goes, as if the sun hit the ice gently and forcefully again and again, slowly opened a door and let heaven and earth begin to blend.
Before, I just thought this operation was quite artistic, and it was also in line with the main idea of supporting Yang. It was also very useful for both sides to concentrate and calm down.
But this time, during the operation, the moxibustion giver felt warm and painful again and again with the moxibustion fire in the unobstructed part. This moxibustion feels really good.
The second is a swirling vortex.
Fan Shi said, it is necessary to take the acupoints of moxibustion as the center, and form a vortex through the rotating action, so that the qi can better penetrate outward from the center.
I also did this kind of action on the water when I was a child, which is also the smooth and smooth action essentials required by circuitous luck.
Specifically, the momentum should be slow, which is my feeling.
I didn't feel anything when I first started spinning. At that time, I only blamed myself for being unskilled, and then I slowly remembered it.
In addition to this reason, there should be the potential of this maneuver has not been established, so everything feels uncomfortable and awkward.
Then deliberately slow down at this time, just like turning a stick in the water at first. With a little force and slow stirring, you can slowly drive the whole water body.
Then, in rotary moxibustion, it is a powerful force for waist strength and intentional transmission.
Find the feeling slowly and get up slowly, forming the turning trend of the whole water body.
In the process of this rotation, it is advisable to be coherent, rather than deliberately pause.
In the past, in the process of starting, in order to learn to use waist strength, I deliberately stopped my waist and let the strength pass to my arm, and trained the transmission of strength.
Now think about it, in the process of stirring water, the sudden pause is also an obstacle to fortune.
This may be the reason why I always feel that something is not going well and I can't find the reason.
After the connection, in the process of rotation, what you see in your eyes is the target acupoint, but what flashes in your mind is the vortex. Hands move with the heart, and the heart moves with the potential. The more you turn, the easier and more comfortable you are. I'm not as tired as before, and the anhydride is puzzling.
The third point is the reincarnation of yin and yang.
Swing is more than just stirring. The teacher said that all things are negative and embrace yang, and also that the combination of static and dynamic forms yin and yang.
But after all, it is still very transparent and difficult to understand.
At that time, the first feeling was the combination of speed and speed, thus forming yin and yang.
At first, I did it on purpose. Later, I gradually realized that slowness is not as simple as slowing down, but "luck." As long as the goods are delivered, it will naturally slow down. Slowness is a process, not a goal. You can't do yin and yang for yin and yang. In fact, you can't get yin and yang.
Later, I slowly realized that a roundabout actually includes three processes: opening, transportation and closing. These three processes are in place and coherent, which naturally means that there are fast and slow, and yin and yang alternate.
The fourth is the four stages in the cyclotron.
The theory of pneumatic phase change of Fuyang moxibustion is one of the cores. Every time you rotate, with yin and yang, there will definitely be a four-phase lifter.
So I thought that in the process of doing the action, I started to turn left with the target acupoint as the center. Is this a rise?
Can it be regarded as a four-phase change to transport Ai to the extreme yang, turn right and fall, and close the extreme yin?
But for the human body, what kind of feeling is the change of spring, summer, autumn and winter?
Combined with the distance of moxa fire mentioned by the teacher, we can imagine that moxa fire is the sun, rising left and falling right, and the process of rising is actually the process of transporting moxa. If we transport the moxa stick to the left and slowly approach the human body, the human body can receive more intense energy. Close the moxa stick and put it back, getting farther and farther away from the human body, just like autumn photos, so that the four phases are distinct and the qi can change accordingly.
