Venerable Fa Qing replied: When I first started meditating, I always felt that my qi was rushing up

At the beginning of meditation, if you always feel that your qi rushes up your head, it may be due to the body's qi starting to kick in, which is a normal phenomenon. However, to alleviate this, there are a few things you can try:

1.Stay relaxed: Try to stay relaxed and don't be too nervous or impatient. By relaxing the body and mind, you can better regulate the body's qi.

2.Adjust your breathing: During meditation, try adjusting your breathing so that it becomes slow and deep, which can help relieve the feeling of your breath rushing up your head. Try taking deep breaths or counting your breaths.

3.Adjust your sitting posture: When meditating, it's important to maintain a correct sitting posture. You can choose the sitting position that suits you, such as loose plate, single plate or double plate, etc. Proper sitting posture can help adjust the body's qi and relieve the feeling of qi rushing up the head.

4.Appropriate exercise: Before meditating, you can do some exercises appropriately, such as walking, yoga, etc., which will help move the muscles and bones of the body and relieve the feeling of qi rushing up the head.

5.Pay attention to your physical health: If the feeling of Qi rushing up your head is too strong or lasts too long, you may need to pay attention to your physical health. If there are certain problems in the body, such as high blood pressure, etc., it may cause the feeling of qi rushing up the head more obviously.

In short, during meditation, it is necessary to maintain a relaxed mind, pay attention to the physical health, adjust the breathing and sitting posture and other methods to relieve the feeling of qi rushing up the head. If the condition is severe or lasts too long, it is advisable to seek professional advice and help.

This is the qi that is impacting the Du pulse.

It's a good sign. Don't forget to help, it's very comfortable after passing, and be careful not to direct the airflow.

I ask you: How do I breathe during meditation to be more helpful for meditation?

Venerable Fa Qing: For Buddhist meditation, at the beginning, it's just a matter of counting the breaths. That is, your mind follows the breath, paying attention only to your inhalation and exhalation.

However, after a short time, the consciousness usually runs away and forgets to count the breaths, so the best way is to recite Amitabha, for example, when you inhale, while inhaling the breath to the top of your head, you silently recite "Ami" in your heart (the teacher demonstrates it aloud); When you exhale, you should recite the Buddha in your heart, and at the same time, let the breath go down to the soles of your feet. In this process, there is only one Amitabha Buddha in your mind, which means that you have to feel the voice of Amitabha Buddha with all your heart. Of course, when I breathe, I don't breathe out of my mouth, as I do now, but through my nostrils.

When you start meditating, you consciously sit like this for a while, which is called counting breaths, which is the best. It's also safest to use this way, so you won't get caught up.

When you meditate, you can't think about anything, if you think too much, it's easy to get mad, so don't think too much, there is an Amitabha Buddha in your heart, this is the simplest. In the end, this is no longer needed, that is, it has been achieved.

Of course, it's best to think of nothing! However, as a mortal, it is impossible to think of nothing. So, when we recite Amitabha, we want Amitabha, through such a thought, to counteract many other thoughts, so that the huge and complex thoughts are all organized to the Amitabha Buddha's one thought, but you must be able to keep it for a while, and after a while, the thinking runs away again, and runs to many other problems, at this time, you don't have to be afraid, just take back your thoughts and start again immediately.
