Pang Xiaonan rolled down the window of the car, galloping on the sea-crossing bridge connecting Hailong Island and Huahai City, the warm sea breeze mixed with a somewhat fishy smell came to his face, which made people feel uplifted, he turned on the radio, and a song came from the speaker: "I am as free as the wind, just like your gentleness, I can't keep ......"

When he got home, Pang Xiaonan carefully turned out the million-old ginseng from his bedroom, cut a few ginseng whiskers with small scissors, wrapped them in red cloth, and then found a thin wire to gently tie the red cloth, so that the ginseng whiskers wrapped in red cloth suddenly looked tall. "Lao Wang, Lao Wang, these ginseng whiskers are worth tens of thousands of yuan, it is definitely enough to eat a few meals from you, and we don't owe each other. ”

When he was busy in the bedroom, he accidentally saw the seven spirit stones placed inside, Pang Xiaonan thought to himself, should you put the seven-star spirit stone formation and suck the spiritual energy for a while? Because he looked at the time, it was only four o'clock, and it was still early for dinner. But then he dispelled this thought, "I don't think about food when I am full of energy, and when I inhale too much spiritual energy, I will have no appetite to eat, so I still have some stomach to eat and drink." ”

Since it was still early, Pang Xiaonan planned to meditate on the terrace and enter a meditative state. "There's been so much going on during this time, it's time to sweep away the dust of your soul. ”

So, Pang Xiaonan opened the bedroom door, walked to the terrace, and sat on the sofa facing the sea.

Many sects have meditation, which is an indispensable part for cultivators, and through the assistance of meditation, cultivators can get out of the misunderstanding of cultivation in time and guide their cultivation to the right path, so as to speed up the progress of cultivation and avoid going mad.

The real popularity of meditation is caused by the popularity of yoga in China, yoga is the practice of the Borneo country, and the exercises of the Brahmins are mainly ruthless, so the mind often has restless thoughts, and the body also has a lot of disadvantages of cultivation, which need to be corrected through some gentle exercises, so the yoga exercises have developed.

However, similar exercises of various sects have the same effect, such as the meditation of the Taoist sect and the meditation of the Ami sect, which are all similar.

Meditation is a technique and a way to attain concentration, to concentrate the mind, mind, and spirit completely in the primordial beginning, with the ultimate goal of guiding one to the state of liberation.

One can subdue the mind through meditation and transcend material desires, feeling direct communication with primordial motivations. By simply practicing meditation, you can help people say goodbye to negative emotions and regain control of their lives.

According to the yogis, the self, the human being, is controlled and dominated because it is blinded by the three states of nature. If a person is under the influence of ignorance, he or she may want to have a particular type of sensual pleasure, for example, if he is under the influence of ignorance, he may want to sleep or be anesthetized, if he is under the influence of passion, he may want to engage in sexual pleasures, and if he is under the influence of a good state, he may want to enjoy a peaceful day in the park or in the countryside. All these cases, therefore, are determined by the nature of man's desires as to which influence in nature governs his state.

According to the yogi, as long as a person is still governed by the three states of material nature, ignorance, passion, and goodness, he is not free, which means that he has not yet been freed from the bondage of material desires. To be free from material desires, he must be free from the influence of these three states of nature. Everyone is blinded by ignorance, passion, and kindness. However, at any given moment, one of these three will always prevail.

Ignorance is the worst state, and the result of this state is madness, delusions, delusions, laziness, etc.

The state of passion is superior to the state of ignorance, but it signifies characteristics such as major attachments, uncontrollable desires, pursuits, and intense efforts.

And the state of goodness is purer and radiant than the others. People in this state cultivate and develop wisdom, but they are conditioned by the concept of happiness.

People who are in a state of goodness are only interested in their own happiness. In other words, although his desires are purer and more subtle than those of a person in ignorance or passion, he is still self-centered. Such a person feels very sad and depressed when the state of ignorance or the state of passion begins to affect his body and mind, thus depriving him of the happiness he derives from the state of goodness. He is not yet free from all three influences—and he cannot maintain his status as an unaffected, detached witness to the natural activities of these three influences. He has not yet reached the level of loving service to the whole—and therefore, he is not truly liberated. It is only when this creature imprisoned in the flesh is able to transcend these three states that he can be freed from the sufferings of birth, death, old age, and all three, and enjoy the nectar in this life.

The idea that only those who are not interested in their own happiness can be truly happy, seems strange and confusing to the ignorant to the ignorant. However, for wise people, it is logical and easy to understand.

Gaining liberation from the influence of the three states of matter and nature is a gradual process. For example, if a person who was previously primarily in a state of ignorance engages in yoga practice and adopts a yogic lifestyle, he gradually becomes more and more in a state of passion, and more or less in a state of goodness. Then, as he continues to practice, he will gradually and more fall under the influence of goodness, less and less under the influence of passion, and even less under the influence of ignorance. Then, he gradually transcended the shadow of a state of goodness. Such a state is called a purified state of goodness, or a state of transcendence, or a state of concentration.

Therefore, it is imperative for all meditators to try to be free from the influence of ignorance and passion. The way to achieve this is to increasingly turn to the influence of a state of goodness. Over time, the meditator gradually transcends even the influence of a state of goodness.

In order to transcend all three states, one must first basically hold on to the state of goodness, and not attach itself to the state of ignorance or passion, because the state of goodness is the starting point for getting rid of these three states. After attaining liberation, no matter which of the three is active, ignorance, passion, or goodness, one remains unmoved.

Therefore, the aim of all meditation practices is to liberate one from the domination of these three states of material nature – starting with the state of ignorance and passion, and finally, even the state of goodness.

Pang Xiaonan took a deep breath and entered a state of meditation.

Most people, when practicing meditation, will encounter some resistance to some extent.

Meditation techniques before meditation, such as pranayama, restraint, conjunction, and some techniques for cultivating and manipulating the breath of life. So, when practicing yoga voice meditation, you have to practice these techniques together to get the best results?

In fact, you don't need to practice any pre-meditation techniques, just practice yoga voice meditation to reach the highest level of yoga meditation.

Like yoga postures, confinement, conformity, and pranayama (the cultivation and manipulation of breath and life qi) are all at the service of yogic voice meditation. If you feel that any of these techniques can directly or indirectly help you put your mind into yoga voice meditation, you may want to practice these techniques. But if you don't need to rely on these techniques to achieve single-minded immersion in yoga voice meditation, don't spend precious time.

For example, a person may practice yoga poses because of their health and strengthening effects, as well as releasing superficial tension and stress, so that they can easily achieve a state of concentration when doing yoga voice meditation. That said, his yoga poses are at the service of yoga voice meditation. Similarly, some people practice confinement, alignment, and pranayama, or other techniques that cultivate or manipulate the breath of life, because they feel that these practices can directly or indirectly contribute to the practice of yoga voice meditation.

Voice meditation does not require the aid of techniques such as the cultivation and manipulation of the breath of life, but rather requires the assistance of yoga voice meditation in order to achieve true and deep spiritual values, otherwise their value would be limited to the physical and mental level.

If you are accustomed to practicing pre-meditation techniques, you can continue to practice them along with yoga voice meditation. However, if you are not familiar with these meditation techniques, you don't need to spend precious time on them in terms of the nature of meditation and the primary and secondary relationship between pranayama meditation (but if you have a specific illness or discomfort, you may benefit from practicing these pre-meditation techniques).

The ultimate goal of meditation is not to empty the mind or to reach the state of "selflessness", but to allow the mind to sense a transcendent voice with a spiritual nature, so as to achieve the effect of purifying consciousness.

Generally speaking, the attempt to make the mind "empty and empty" is almost futile, and such an attempt will only bring frustration. Even at the moment when the state of "no thought at all" appears, you think, "Ah, I almost did it! I have almost no thought at all!" But when you think about it, don't you have new thoughts coming into your mind? According to the science of yoga, the state of "selflessness" is also impossible. According to Yoga, nirvana does not mean the end of existence, but the end of ignorant and painful meaningless existence. True perfect nirvana is the realization of a being that is full of spiritual love, inner wisdom, and purpose. Nothing is more real to us than our own existence, and nothing is more natural than being aware of our own existence.

Therefore, to think that the purpose of yogic meditation is to make us unaware of our own existence or to terminate our existence is actually difficult, in fact, impossible. Any attempt to destroy existence is really just a hopeless struggle and a waste of time, and it does not solve the suffering at all. The solution to suffering is not to try to terminate or forget the existence of the self, but to make our existence more meaningful, full of spiritual love and wisdom, and ultimately to a fulfilling life.

If people lack spiritual love and wisdom, they will naturally find it difficult to recognize the purpose of existence, and they will always be in a state of unhappiness. However, through the practice of yoga meditation, we recognize the meaning of existence. Therefore, we are no longer seeking to end or forget about ourselves, but to understand that there is a longer purpose in life and live happily.

But for Pang Xiaonan, these are not problems, because his meditation realm is already quite proficient, just like when he sucks spiritual power, he can completely reach the realm of selflessness.

After meditating for about half an hour, Pang Xiaonan naturally woke up. He controlled his eyes to roll around a few times, then took a deep breath for a few reincarnations, sat still for a moment, stretched his waist, and stood up with his hands on the ground.

At this moment, Pang Xiaonan was refreshed, looked at the vast sea and yawned, and finally made up for the mental state that had not slept all night.

Pang Xiaonan sighed at the air, then took out his mobile phone and saw that it was time to eat, so he dusted off his body, left the terrace, and walked downstairs.

When he came to the kitchen, Pang Xiaonan picked up the kettle for boiling water, poured half a cup of water into his teacup, then took the teacup and poured boiled water into his throat, drank it happily, burped, and then put down the teacup and went out.

At this moment, the sunset is about to set on the sea level, the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the sidewalk through the gaps in the leaves, leaving mottled imprints, all the scenery is so pleasant, Pang Xiaonan unconsciously hummed a song, "If the sea can take away my sorrows, just like taking away every river, if you are affectionate about the past, you are no longer nostalgic, let it drift away with the wind, if the sea can recall the love I once had, let me wait for it all my life." If you are no longer nostalgic for the past, let it drift away with the wind, all the wounds you have suffered, all the tears that have flowed, my love, please take them all away......"

Walking to Councilor Wang's villa, Pang Xiaonan knocked on the door of his house, as usual, it was Su Xiaomei who opened the door, Pang Xiaonan greeted warmly: "Aunt Mei, I'm sorry, I'm bothering you again." ”

Su Xiaomei took Pang Xiaonan's arm, pulled him into the room, and responded enthusiastically: "Xiaonan, what is polite to Aunt Mei, Councilor Wang told me after he came back, saying that you want to come over for dinner, add two more dishes, and now that the dishes are on the table, hurry up and come in......"

Pang Xiaonan came to the dining room of Councilor Wang's house, Councilor Wang and Peng Yuyan were already sitting at the table, and when they saw Pang Xiaonan coming, Peng Yuyan beckoned and said, "Xiaonan, come and sit, we have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Councilor Wang also waved and said with a smile: "Xiao Nan, you are late, you will have to punish yourself with three glasses of wine later." ”

Pang Xiaonan smiled with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Lao Wang, you are not kind, we have an appointment for dinner and we don't have a specific time, how can you say that I am late, maybe you arrived early?"

Councilor Wang smiled heartily: "I know, you always have a reason, forget it, I don't want to drink this wine myself, people say that it is economical to drink and entertain guests, since you don't want to drink, then I will drink more myself." ”

Pang Xiaonan sat opposite Peng Yuyan, took out the gift box he carried with him, put it on the table, and said to Councilor Wang: "Lao Wang, don't say that I always come to your house to eat, give, this is my gift to you, just like you said, there are contacts and contacts, and I can't say that I am not kind in the future." ”

Councilor Wang was slightly stunned, thinking that a person like Pang Xiaonan, who had never suffered a loss, could come with a gift, and was quite surprised, and then asked, "What?"

The red cloth package carefully prepared by Pang Xiaonan looked very tall, and Councilor Wang and Peng Yuyan couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Pang Xiaonan's gourd for a while, Pang Xiaonan supported the dining table with one hand, waved a big horn with the other, and said, "You can open it yourself and see it." ”

Councilor Wang was not polite, picked up the red cloth package and opened it, and looked at the high-end packaging that quickly appeared in its original form under the dismantling of his three or two times, "I thought why baby, just these few whiskers." ”

Pang Xiaonan was unhappy at the moment, pursed his lips and said, "Just these few whiskers? Lao Wang, you are talking too lightly, just these whiskers, do you know how much they are worth?"

Councilor Wang threw the unwrapped red cloth package onto the dining table, and said disapprerovitically: "How much is it worth? Don't you tell me, this little scrap is still worth 8,000 yuan?"

Pang Xiaonan was completely angered by Councilor Wang, and his face turned gloomy, "Damn, Lao Wang, I have a good heart, and I brought you all the whiskers of that old ginseng tree, you don't even know the goods? ”

Saying that, Pang Xiaonan reached out to take the red cloth package, he was really angry, and he was kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs.

But his hand was only halfway out, and Councilor Wang hurriedly snatched the red cloth package in his hand, and said to Pang Xiaonan: "Forget it, the courtesy is light and affectionate, no matter what the value of this thing is, as long as you bring it, I will accept it." As he spoke, he wrapped the red cloth and placed it on the dining table far away from Pang Xiaonan's reach.

"I'll tell you, Wang. Pang Xiaonan didn't go to grab it, originally this ginseng was brought over for Councilor Wang, "Don't waste this thing, you soak it in wine, and you will know how good it is when you drink in the future." ”

"Soak in wine?" Councilor Wang teased. "Is it cheaper for you to soak in wine? You know I won't drink alone, when are you not present when you drink?

"What the hell am I?" Pang Xiaonan was a little angry by what Councilor Wang said, "Do you want to? I TM gave a gift and was slandered like this, forget it, you give it back to me!" Saying that, Pang Xiaonan was about to reach out and grab the red cloth package.

Councilor Wang opened Pang Xiaonan's hand with a palm, and said with a smile: "Just kidding, what you send, no matter how you say it, it's also your heart, how could I not want it? Come, let's eat, eat ......."
