Why did the ancients like to meditate in the morning?

The way of keeping in good health has been popular since ancient times. They like to meditate around 4 a.m. to cultivate their mind. Because the environment in the morning is the quietest and not easily disturbed, it is very suitable for meditation; And around 4 o'clock is the purest sun in the world, which is most suitable for people to practice; Early morning is also the time for human qi and blood to revive, so meditation is good for the body. It can be seen that the ancients knew more about health preservation than we did, and paid more attention to health preservation.

First, early morning meditation is related to the qi of heaven and earth. The ancients divided a day into twelve hours. Now our morning is equivalent to ancient Yin Shi. At this time, the environment is very quiet, meditation will not be disturbed by the outside world, which is very suitable for meditation practice. In addition, early morning is the most sunny time of the day, so meditation can absorb the essence of the weather and be beneficial to health. When the sun comes out, the essence of the sun leaks between heaven and earth, which is not suitable for meditation practice.

Second, meditation in the morning can increase energy. Chinese medicine says that Yin Shi is the time when the lungs of our body dominate the pulse. At this time, the organs of the body began to recover, and the lungs delivered nutrients to the organs. Organs can only function healthily with the help of the lungs. You can't do strenuous exercise at this time, because all organs of the body have just absorbed nutrients and haven't fully digested them. At this time, if we exercise, organs are easily damaged. Therefore, Yin Shi should get up and meditate. Although it seems that the body is in a relaxed state, the qi and blood in the body run in an orderly manner and deliver nutrients to various organs, so the body will be healthy and energetic.

Meditation in the morning can make the body young. Chinese medicine believes that Yin Shi corresponds to the corresponding internal organs of our body. Before meditation, drink a cup of warm water, and then start meditation. At this time, the heart, liver and spleen of our body will start to operate healthily. In addition, the lungs control the pulse and all four organs will work together. Organs in the body will begin to digest and absorb nutrients, and our kidneys will be well protected. When the kidneys are healthy, the bone marrow of the body will regenerate.

The ancients liked Yin Shi to get up and meditate. Yin Shi time is equivalent to about 4 o'clock now. At this time, we were still dreaming a beautiful dream in our sleep, and the ancients had already started the exercise of self-cultivation. Meditation in the morning is very beneficial to our health, and only at twelve o'clock a day will it have this effect on our health, so the ancients chose to meditate in the morning.
