Be calm and cool down naturally. Previous sentence

There is no preceding sentence. The calmness and natural cooling of the mind evolved from the saying, "If it is not a Zen room, there will be no heat, but the mind will be cooled when it is calm."

"It is not a Zen room that is not hot, but it will cool down when the mind is calm." It comes from Bai Juyi's "The Zen Room of Master Hengji on Suffering Heat". Bai Juyi once visited the eminent monk Hengji Zen Master when the weather was very hot. He saw the Zen Master sitting quietly in a Zen room as closed as a steamer, not sweating like ordinary people.

Bai Juyi was so shocked that he wrote a poem titled "The Zen Room of Master Hengji on the Bitter Heat": "Everyone goes crazy to avoid the summer heat, but only the Zen master does not leave his room; if it is not a Zen room, there will be no heat, and it is for people's meditation. It's cool. "To have a clear mind and calm your mind is the best way to escape the heat.

As the saying goes, "A calm mind naturally cools down", which shows that people's subjective feelings play a certain role. Recently, Tetsuo Koyama, a physician at Kyoritsu Neurosurgery Hospital in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, and American scholars have found certain scientific basis for this phenomenon through experiments.

Dr. Xiaoshan used 10 American men and women as experimental subjects. In order to transmit the burning pain to the brain, he used small metal pieces to apply thermal stimulation to the subjects' calves. If it is an interval of 15 seconds, use a 48°C heat stimulus after the start signal. If it is a 30 second interval, use a 50°C heat stimulus after the start signal. Repeat this many times to allow the experimenter to remember the type of stimulation in the brain. .

Then, the type of stimulation was changed, and the subject was allowed to receive thermal stimulation at 50°C after 15-second intervals. At the same time, a magnetic resonance imaging device was used to investigate brain activity. The results showed that compared with the thermal stimulation of 50 degrees Celsius given every 30 seconds, the activity in the emotional area of ????the brain was lower. After the researchers asked the subjects about their pain and quantified the analysis, they found that the pain was reduced by about 30%.

Dr. Xiaoshan said that this experimental result proves to some extent the feeling of "a calm mind and a natural coolness". Before the injection, the doctor tells the patient that it does not hurt. This is a psychological suggestion comfort method and a scientifically based pain relief method. This result has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
