Health Advice by a TCM Doctor (1)
Body and
Mind:
In most cases, we get sick
due to the fact that our body is trying to adjust
and fine-tune physical functioning. Take it easy
and it will soon be over.
Chaos in
physical system is the cause for most illnesses,
while the physical chaos is caused by mental
turmoils.
The key to
nourish our energy is to pacify our mind. If our
mind is stirred, it will blow the wind in our
heart; the strong wind will then fuel the liver
Fire, and a powerful Fire will then dry up kidney
Water which is the reservoir of vitality.
Most people
try to keep healthy by nourishing their body; a
smart guy will try to keep healthy by nourishing
his qi; a truly wise man will try to keep healthy
by nourishing his mind. (下士养身，中士养气，上士养心。)
The key to have a healthy
body is to have a tranquil mind, as when our mind is at
peace, our qi flows smoothly; when our qi flows
smoothly, our blood transfusion is adequate; when
our blood transfusion is adequate, our life
essence is sufficient; when our life essence is
sufficient, our spirit is potent; when our spirit
is potent, our defence against virus attacks will
be robust. So let's deal with problems in our
bodies by addressing issues in our mind first. (故安心法，为卫生第一要诀。心定则气和，气和则血顺，血顺则精足而神旺，精足神旺者，内部抵抗力强，病自除矣。故治病当以摄心为主。)
The best way to resolve the
issue in our mind can be summarised in two words:
Let Go (放下). If we can let go
everything from our mind and our heart, the
illness will be unable to stick to us.
Once we do
not mind of losing, we'll have nothing to fear;
once we have nothing to fear, our mind will be at
peace.
The real scientific attitudes is to
fully acknowledge the relationship between the cause and the consequences. (真正的科学是什麽？就是因缘果报。不信因果，就不是真正的科学。)
When our
cultivation reaches a certain level, some old
illness may manifest. Which is a good thing. Deal
with them calmly so the deep rooted problems can
be resolved without further delay.
If we want
to live longer, we should know how to
rehabilitate from our illness; If we want to know
how to rehabilitate from our illness, we should
know how to utilize our qi; If we
want to know how to utilize our qi, we should
know what our unique nature is; If we want to
know what our unique nature is, we should know who we really are beyond our
temporary physical shelter. (凡人欲求长寿，应先除病。欲求除病，当明用气。欲明用气，当先养性。养性之法，当先调心。 )

of those highly cultivated heavenly
beings, and their appearance as a sign of
peace and prosperity.
