站庄功须注意之事项之四 Points to be followed with great attention (4)

站庄过程要自始至终保持松静自然，切忌精神紧张。

为了保证真气运行通畅，练功的基本要求就是松静自然，站桩时，真气调动充足，更应注意松静的程度，切忌精神紧张。如果精神过度紧张，身体局部不能放松，这个部位就有可能发生气滞现象，还有的人收不住功，也是由于过度紧张造成的，其实站桩自发是既能治病，又非常舒适的活动，松静自然做得越好，功效和疗效就越佳。只要明确这一点，严格按照要求站桩，就会作到想发就发，想收就收，得到安全、满意效果，紧张完全是多余的事。

Relaxation is preferable to nervousness in the standing meditation.

When you are doing standing meditation, you must be relaxed the whole time from the beginning to the end. You should never be tense. When you are doing standing meditation the true Qi has been activated to its ultimate, therefore the Qi is very strong and travels very fast in your body. If you are tense, some parts of your body may be blocked. As a result, the Qi will accumulate there and block the channels and will not disperse for a long time, and you will feel uncomfortable or in pain. If you are too tense perhaps the Qi circulating in your body cannot be gathered back into dan tian even though you want to shou gong (finish). So, to be relaxed is of utmost importance. You should not worry at all. Let the spontaneous movements happen naturally and enjoy yourself; then you will feel very comfortable and your disease will be cured and your health improved.
