The kidney is responsible for the main sting, the foundation of sealing and storage, and the essence. Its radiance is in the hair, it fills the bones, and it is the least yin in the yin, which is connected to the winter qi. "- Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, Su Wen, Section 6, Chapter 9 on Tibetan Symbols
Looking back, 'it fills in the bones' refers to fullness. What does' it fills in the bones' mean? People with sufficient kidney qi have full bone marrow. Kidney qi is mainly enriched in the bone marrow, so if kidney qi is sufficient, the bones will be strong. Bone and marrow are two things. The marrow is the substance inside the bone and the essence. The marrow is connected to the brain, so ancient Chinese believed that the marrow mostly referred not only to the marrow in our closed bones, but more often to the spinal cord in the spine. There are nerves in the spinal cord that run upwards and connect to the brain. So once the bone marrow is abundant, the spinal cord becomes particularly full, and the brain becomes smarter. After the brain is filled, energy is strong, memory is good, and the forehead is shining, which is actually a manifestation of sufficient kidney qi.
So when the kidney qi is sufficient, the energy is abundant, and he always wants to do things every day, which makes it easier to succeed. I have encountered elites from various industries in society who share a common characteristic. Whether they are social elites, entrepreneurs, or leaders, they are all very hardworking, responsible, and energetic. This is a very typical feature. On the contrary, some people have weak bones and incomplete marrow, which can manifest after damaging their kidneys.
A topic I used to frequently share in my lectures was teenage sperm injury. Harming sperm refers to staying up late, masturbating, having too much sexual activity, and so on. Once an injured sperm appears, the body will become weak and the bones will be brittle. After falling, the bones will fracture, memory will decline, energy will be insufficient, thinking ability will decline, analytical and judgment ability will decline, thinking ability will be insufficient, and the mind will often wander in class. When doing homework at home, the mind will be restless like grass. Because the kidneys are the main source of water, the heart's fire is heavy, and one cannot sit still due to insufficient kidney water. Water and fire cannot be reconciled. There are many other manifestations, such as being willing to stay at home, having few friends, not laughing all day long, and feeling down. In short, it is a situation of insufficient yang energy and energy. After listening to my class, many teenagers quit the bad habit of masturbation and stopped watching pornographic things, which helped them calm down. We have previously discussed that only after the body has undergone spiritual transformation can its inner essence undergo biochemical transformation. After the mind is calm, the vitality can be abundant, and only after the vitality is abundant can the body turn from weak to strong.
So many people say, Bloomberg, why am I weak? One of the most important reasons for my weakness is that my mind is not composed. My mind is always wandering outside, constantly pondering over things. I am always attracted by the five desires, and I won't delve into them in detail. Being entangled by these desires, I have too many external attractions, and I can't settle down to do one thing. I can't concentrate and my mind is scattered. After the mind and spirit are scattered, the qi and blood cannot be calm, the spirit cannot condense, the spirit cannot condense, and the qi and blood cannot be regenerated, so the body becomes weaker and weaker. Those who are physically weak have a common characteristic, which is that their brains think a lot of things, constantly daydreaming and having a lot of delusions. The ancients said it's just daydreaming all day long, but if you really ask him to do something, he really can't do it. If he doesn't have the ability to do it, he just thinks about it every day. This is because his body is weak, and the virtual fire keeps floating above him, so he doesn't have that kind of heavy and honest feeling.
So what should we do? You have to let him start from one thing and develop a personality habit that can calm his mind through one thing. As the ancients said, 'Place your heart in one place and do everything.' Let's start with one thing. What is this thing? The ancients said that music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all fine. Calligraphy is very good, and the qin is also very good. The qin can communicate with the gods, and music can communicate with the gods. Practicing an instrument such as calligraphy, painting, or playing chess, which refers to Go, can all help you calm down. This is an external method, and it is related to art. You can also practice martial arts and stand at stakes. Learn an art, such as practicing seal carving if you are interested in it, and swimming if you are interested in it. To do something to the extreme, one understands how to transform from a novice to a master, and from a bronze to a king. As long as one thing is done, there are 360 ways in society, and each line is a rule that needs to be repeated repeatedly. Customer service is difficult, and correcting oneself repeatedly and improving oneself is always a rule. After mastering a rule and practicing it through something, all aspects will be understood, and once understood, one will have the ability to learn. At this point, the heart can be focused. Only after the heart is focused can the spirit be condensed. Only after the spirit is condensed can the qi and blood be enriched, and the body can be enriched with qi and blood. So ancient people required readers to read for half a day and sit quietly for half a day, and they repaired their bodies through this method of sitting quietly.
I am guiding patients in clinical practice, and I believe that most people cannot find feelings when sitting quietly, and they cannot calm down. Where do we start to get started? My own physical experience is starting from standing at a stake, fully penetrating my body, and then cooperating with walking in circles. I used to talk about walking eight steps in a circle, which quickly mediated the energy and then withdrew it to the dantian and legs. The hands quickly swelled, the dantian quickly became full, and the legs quickly became strong. By using these two methods, it is possible to adjust the body with half the effort, and after adjusting, work efficiency can be greatly improved. Some people say that I can't stand still in the office. I have also mentioned before that the quickest way to restore energy is to block my ears with my middle finger, close both eyes, and stay for five minutes. This is also very good.
I have mentioned it two or three times when I was teaching the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon before. You can refer to the previous course phonetics, which are very detailed. This is the method to quickly restore your energy. The kidneys fill the bone marrow, one bone at a time, and the brain is the sea of marrow. Therefore, when the kidney qi is sufficient, the bones become strong, the brain marrow is filled, the body is also sturdy, and the brain is developed. If there is kidney deficiency, the bones will also be brittle, prone to fractures, the marrow will be insufficient, the brain will be dull, the reaction will be slow, and memory will decline. This is the explanation of "the kidney is in the bud, and it is filled in the bones".
