Ten ways to seat alone in meditation

"Sitting alone" is one of the basic health practices qigong. During the "seat" inevitably begins a movement of "true Qi". There are many cases where people, exhausted mass of chronic diseases, by simple qigong, which is the seat cross-legged with a concentration on Dantian, just a few months became completely healthy. However, as often happens that people do not get the attitude, and if it turns out, he can not get rid of extraneous thoughts, experiencing severe discomfort. We must always remember that without going through difficulties, it is difficult to find good health. In especially severe cases, positive results can be expected only a year or two regular classes. 

By "sitting alone" presented a number of requirements: the initial phase can take a simple pose with legs crossed, but without pulling up his feet on the thighs, or posture "polulotosa, but on the middle phase - the pose of" full lotus ": hand superimposed on one another (left hand on top, right bottom) so that the palms were turned upward and the thumb looked "at each other, and placed in the umbilicus, the duration of training - not less than an hour with a gradual increase up to two hours or more. Ten of the proposed methods can be used alternately, and you can select one of the most appropriate and only practice it. Frequent change of methods is not recommended. And finally, the most important thing: not to reduce the duration of the study and be confident of success. 

1. Saying the "true words" 
Pronounce six words: "van, ma, ne, ba, mi, hun", three words: "van, but Hun" or repeat the name of the Buddha: "Namo Amitofo. Choose one of the options and pronounce it as you are comfortable: quiet or loud, or a long short, with any rhythm, and any number of times. 

2. Breath Dantian 
During the execution of the respiratory cycle visualize how inflated and reduce your stomach in the navel. The main thing that breathing was slow, deep, long and thin. 

3. Complete breathing 
This method of breathing used by the ancient yogis. On the inhale count to three so that each account has consistently filled with air, respectively, the upper, middle and lower parts of the lungs. After a breath, slowly exhale through the nose, and start a new breath. 

4. Breathing and 
This method is based on the abdominal and deep breathing and. lies in the fact that respiration is delayed for some time between breaths, or after each respiratory cycle. This can be done a long breath and short breath, or, conversely, short breath and a long exhale. With this method of breathing is performed 2.3 respiratory cycles per minute. 

5. Contemplation alone five internal organs 
Sitting in the "resting state", first call the mental image of the kidneys in black and myself shall count 36 of their pulsations. Then alternately call mental images of the emerald of the liver, red heart, spleen, yellow, white and black lung buds, slowly counting to 36 pulsations of each of the bodies. 

6. Mental contemplation of white bones 
Try as much as possible clearly to present his body as a skeleton, try to carefully look at their white bones. 

7. Scrutinizing the objects in 
Place before your eyes at a distance of one meter, a small ball, a piece of wood or a statue of Buddha and carefully scrutinizes the subject until such time as his image is not clearly preserved when you close your eyes. Then mentally accompany him to the bottom Dantian and continue to monitor its bright glow. 

8. The precious vessel 
Exhaling three times, display a "dirty Qi", and then inhale slowly through your nose and simultaneously tighten the anus. Keep fresh chi in Dantian, as long as possible. Slowly exhale, prompting the chi out through the nose and pores. Carrying out the exercise, imagine yourself empty "precious vessel". 

9. Contemplation of breath 
This way is to mentally record every exhale and inhale in the process of slow breathing: fix the end of exhalation, and how the qi enters during inspiration, to think about how it behaves in, and check to see whether all parts of the body it arrives. From the first respiratory cycle count lead them to the end of exercise, and if hit, start over. Mastered this method, you can go to its more complicated version, namely: to observe the color of exhaled and inhaled qi, and a longer delay before the expiration of qi. Even more advanced variant of this method is to observe the mind comes into the body of a white chi, breath accompanied by the word "van"; red chi during the breath-holding, accompanying it with the word "a"; transcends Qi orchid flowers, exhaling accompanied by the word "hoon . 

10. "The golden glow of the body" 
Imagine yourself with a statue of the Buddha, vajra, bodisatvy. Going into the image, begin to mentally recite three "real words": "van, but Hun. Imagine that your body emits a dazzling golden glow.
