练功后,有人住现头部的轻微不适,原因多来自以下方面,应针对具体情况加以解决:
(1) 练功时,意念运用得不准确。如引阳气上冲过多,就会头沉。如属于这种情况,做三至五次双回气,将阳气导引至下丹田,不适感就会消失。
(2) 有的人原来就有扁头痛,三叉神经痛等病,练功时气冲病灶,也会引起头痛,头沉或头紧等类似发病现象。这是病情好转的反应,一般一至两周即可消失。如果长期不愈,可能有其他原因,如七情六淫的干扰等,应到医院检查,采取相应的措施,及时处理。
(3) 练功通小周天时,真气运行到颈部,在玉枕关打通之前,会感到有一条带子箍在头的上部,头顶发麻,发痒,发胀,如蚁爬。这是练功的必经过程,不属病态,更不是出偏。玉枕关通开,这种现象就会自然消失。练功到了这个阶段,应当用意念将任脉之气引入下丹田,再将丹田气用意念引到会阴穴处,沿督脉上升,经命门,大椎,天目,鼻椎,舌(舌抵上腭)引入任脉,小周天就会迅速打通,不适感也会很快消失。但不到这个阶段,切不可追求,以水到渠成为妙。

生命的善終 _ 天下雜誌 (林倖妃)
外科加護病房主任柯文哲說,科技發展到今天,醫生最大的問題不是病人如何活下去,而是如何死掉。
老師都教我們以救人為天職,但沒教我們遇到不能救的病人怎麼辦?」用盡武器救人的醫生,現在最大的問題不是如何讓病人活下去,而是助人善終。作為醫生,面對生死,心中會有更多掙扎嗎?
晚上八點,台大醫院燈火輝煌。草草吃著麵包當晚餐,外科加護病房主任柯文哲說,科技發展到今天,醫生最大的問題不是病人如何活下去,而是如何死掉。
因為心臟不好可以裝循環輔助器,肺臟不好可以裝呼吸器,肝臟不好可以血漿置換,或是輸入冷凍性新鮮血漿,骨髓不好輸血,� K疫不好打抗生素,即使是垂死的病人也可以撐很久,「死不了」。問題是,「死亡是什麼?怎樣才算活著」?連醫生都無法回答這個問題。
一個八十二歲的老公公罹患心臟病,花一百六十萬元裝置人工心臟,但因機器太大台,他到哪裡都必須拖著救命的「心臟」,問醫生有沒有解決的辦法� H醫生告訴他要再花三百五十萬元換台體積較小的機器。老先生不願意,最後因為要拖著龐然大物才能行動,得了重度憂鬱症躺在床上,七個月後中風死了。這是病人的選擇。
科技讓人不得好死?
在人稱「 葉 醫師」的葉克膜出現後,讓醫師陷入更沉重的生死抉擇。隨著醫學科技的發展,即使沒有心臟,裝上葉克膜也可以暫時維持生命,台大醫院最高存活紀錄是一一七天。只不過,並不是人人都可以走出醫院,更多的是在「 葉 醫師」加持下,看著自己的腳從下面一直黑上來,清醒地看著自己慢慢死掉。
一位知名企業 家的 太太就裝著葉克膜直到全身變黑,過世前嚴重浮腫變形,「高科技反而讓人不得好死,」柯文哲感嘆說。住在加護病房的病人在過世前平均多 三公斤 ,因為不斷用各種儀器和藥物,導致身體浮腫,只為維持一口氣在。
醫生不願面對死亡,無法開口告訴家屬實情,只能用盡手中所有「武器」。
死亡是必須要面對的問題,特別是在加護病房。「但今天的困境已經不是病人怎麼活下去,而是怎麼善終,讓病人在往生前少受點折磨,」柯文哲反省。
「我們叫醫生,不會醫死人,老師都教我們以救人為天職,但沒教我們遇到不能救的病人怎麼辦?是誰不能接受病人死亡的事實,病人家屬或醫生?結果結論是醫生。」說話直接不拐彎的柯文哲指著電腦螢幕前一張張震撼人心的投影片說。這是他最近幾年最常思考的問題:醫生還是醫死?什麼時候該關掉葉克膜,讓病人走?
高雄醫學大學醫! 學系主任、同時也是神經外科主治醫師林志隆感慨地說,他的老師五十多歲時因為心臟癌症開刀後,同樣身為醫 師的 老師自知存活機會不大,強烈表達意願,萬一時,要放棄急救,保持最後的尊嚴離開。但事情發生時師公(老 師的 老師)堅持插管,強行救回老師,「我怎麼可能讓我的學生走?」師公的話語中滿是悲哀,一輩子當醫生的他,不願意面對學生的死亡。
滿屋子的醫生在此時都沉默了,「如果是我,請不要救我,」林志隆事後對學生說。作為一個醫生,「除非病患表達意願,否則只能做到將心比心,不要讓家屬有遺憾,可以坦然面對死亡的過程。」在他心中,醫生可以做的,頂多只是向上帝借時間,無法作出生或死的抉擇。台灣醫學院目前最需要的,就是這門生死學教育課。
以下是一個真實故事
當年,醫生宣判我只有六個月的生命,如今,我認為自己「多賺了30多年」。
因為運動可使身體內在環境的細胞,藉促進血液循環,以帶動氧氣和營養,反過來,又使細胞增加活力。因此,人體的免疫力,便能增加。
病後,我開始做的運動是爬山。
我說的爬山,並不真是去做爬上高山的運動,只不過是在那些有產業道路的小山走走而已。
現在,體力增加了,走 20公里路,已是家常便飯,甚至還有過一天走 40公里的紀錄。
幾年前,還在經過兩年的準備之後,登上玉山,來作為對我的體能的考驗,結果,我很歡喜我的成績,我通過了。
兩年前,我改變了工作環境,每天早上先去爬山,在山上吸它兩個鐘頭的芬多精,回家洗個澡才去上班,現在看到我的人,都說我比以前健康,我則會加上一句:「天天爬山,明年會更好 。」
你的細胞看起來很累,趕快去爬山補充氧氣,癌細胞會回歸正常。
在實驗室養癌細胞,如果加氧,癌細胞就養不好,如果加二氧化碳,癌細胞就養得很好。
表示,我們自己把體內環境弄到缺氧,細胞才無可奈何變成癌細胞來適應環境,如果把環境裡的缺氧因素刪掉,補充氧份,其實癌細胞是! 會回歸正常的。
30年來,我看過無數病人,那些肯聽我話而去爬山,甚至天天爬山的人,身體的改善都很明顯。
現在, 每當我透過顯微鏡看到病人或友人的細胞顯出缺氧的狀況時,我都會提醒對方:「你的細胞缺氧,看起來很累,趕快去爬山。」
笑、不生氣、正面看、放鬆四招多活三十年
除了生理因素之外,要克服病魔,還必須從心理層面下手,像笑、不生氣及以正面態度看待一切事情,還有學習放鬆,即是我這麼多年來能夠降服疾病的一大原因。
學習笑 ---是一項很特別的功課。
因為我知道,笑的時候,尤其是大笑的時候,身體內的細胞是放鬆的。細胞只有在完全放! 鬆的時候,才能圓圓潤潤,充滿活力,足以應付外侮。
生氣是別人做錯事我懲罰自己
別人在挑釁,馬上逃到看不到挑釁的地方,再慢慢調整自己的情緒;然後,我漸漸不需要逃離現場也能壓住脾氣,可是還需要在心裡說:「你好可憐。」 來平衡自己的情緒;現在,我什麼都看到,卻可以一直保持笑容。
改變飲食習慣?
開始運動?
學笑呢?
再說,從今天開始,你的生活會一天天地變好、一天天地有品質善用「多賺30年的法寶」
如果凡事從正面思考,事事會變得非常美好;反之,凡事都從負面思考,事事都變得相! 當糟糕。
就像我先生,為了我好,毅然決然地把家裡的電話線拔掉,以免我下了班後,還要接聽一大堆電話,雖然這似乎對我有些不方便,但是,從另一個角度來看,能夠安安靜靜地利用下班時間做瑜伽、運動、打太極拳,對身體不是反而有很大的幫助嗎?
再說,真有什麼重要的事,隔天打到辦公室就可以了,何須罣礙在心?
放鬆看起來很容易,其實卻是最困難的,因為放鬆要從心做起。
心真的放鬆,身體的細胞才能放鬆。
而心要放鬆,必須放下很多現世間的價值觀,包括名、利、情……等。
我的方法是---久已不用的東西,馬上送走、放開,衣服物品也是,甚至延伸至人際關係,於是人變得活得很簡單、很樸素,人就輕鬆了。
當年,醫生宣判我只有六個月的生命,如今,我認為自己「多賺了30多年」。
為何如此?�滿B不生氣及正面看事情、學放鬆應該是重要的法寶!
改得越多好得越快
這些年來,我不但看了不少癌症病人,更與其中一部份病人變成朋友,共同奮鬥,分享彼此的經驗,互相鼓勵,努力活下去。
我們發覺,活得超長及活得越有聲有色的人,往往都是勇於自省,及堅持修正自己的生活方式的人。
「改得越多,改得越徹底,好得越快。」已經成了我們的原則。
運動的好處是使身體的循環順暢,促使身體代謝加快,把養分及氧氣 帶到該去的地方,對生病的細胞,尤為重要。
如果選擇一、兩種自己喜愛或適合的運動,持之以恆地做下去,總有一天,成績會自然顯露出來。
心理的調適,極為重要。
! 要知道,自己身體裡的細胞,到底是聽自己的,還是聽別人的呢?
产生胸闷、胸憋的现象,大致有四种原因:
(1) 练功中由于气冲病灶而感到胸闷、胸憋。胸部(包括该部脏器)原来有病,或受过伤,其所属经络不通,练功时真气被调动起来,冲击病灶,就会产生类似原来症状的反应。有这种反应是好事,说明真气调动起来了,不通的经络将被疏通。过了这一关,反应就会消失。
(2) 练功时精神紧张,形体没有放松,动作或意念不正确而造成胸部不适。正确的姿势可以疏通经络,错误的姿势可能使真气受阻;正确的意念可以治疗疾病,错误的意念可能使人得病。所以,练功时要正确运用意念,一定要严格按照功法?功理的要求去做,并充分做好练功前的准备。只有在具备练功条件的情况下练功,精神才能放松。只有松心(精神放松),才能松身,才能做到松静自然。如果达到上述要求,仍不能改变胸闷、胸憋的情况,就需要找辅导老师认真查功,仔细纠正动作和意念。动作和意念正确了,不适感就会自然消失。
(3) 练功者平时心胸狭窄,性情急躁,遇事爱生气,练功过程中又受七情干扰,使体内气机紊乱,造成胸部憋闷。为了避免这种情况的发生,必须加强道德涵养,做到处事客观,以乐排忧,保持性情温和、情绪安定。如果已经因受七情干扰造成胸部憋闷,则应用“疏肝法”排掉肝气。
(4) 滥用调息法造成胸部憋闷。本功法自始至终强调自然呼吸。有人滥用其它功法的调息法,呼吸不自然,形体不放松,将气滞在胸中,就会产生胸憋、胸闷。按照本功法的调息方法,随着练功的深化,会自然出现站桩功部分所介绍过的九种呼吸方式。滥用调息法会带来不良后果,随意改动本功法就会出偏。对由于调息不当产生的胸部不适,可采用“点穴降浊法”加以解决。连续重复数次,直至头不晕,胸不闷,感到舒适即可收功。如当时不能生效,可次日再练。此法不可多做,在胸闷症状消失后即应停止,以免伤正气。
by Rev. George Malkmus
Thirty-five years ago, when I was told I had colon cancer, Evangelist Lester Roloff encouraged me to eliminate all animal foods (both flesh and dairy) from my diet, along with refined sugar and refined grains. He went on to encourage me to consume lots of carrot juice if I wanted to restore my health. Not understanding all the reasons why, I took his advice.
Within days of making these dietary changes my rectal bleeding had stopped. Within less than a year the tumor in my colon had disappeared – all without any help from a doctor or the use of any chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.
After this experience I rationalized that if carrot juice could help my body recover from colon cancer, it might be good to continue consuming it order to help me remain well. And I have done just that.
Today, 35 years after eliminating some health-destroying things and adding carrot juice to my diet, I find myself just three years short of my 80th birthday still alive and well with an extremely youthful body.
Now I’m not saying that it was the carrot juice all by itself that has allowed me to enjoy such excellent health, but I do believe with all my heart it has been a huge factor.
What’s In Carrot Juice That Makes It So Special
Carrot juice not only tastes good (if the carrots are grown in California – more on that later), it has a vast array of nutrients and health benefits. It’s also easily absorbed and highly cleansing.
Carrots contain approximately 16% sugar. Some think this is negative because it results in a glycemic index of 80. However, research here at Hallelujah Acres reveals that it has less spiking affect on the blood than a baked potato or two slices of whole wheat toast.
Carrots are one of the most healing foods, providing the finest and highest quality nutrients, especially in juice form. Carrots are an excellent source of pro-vitamin A in the form of carotene, along with vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.
Carrots are rich in biotin, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, organic sodium, plus lots of trace minerals. Carrots are also high in anti-oxidants and are loaded with enzymes.
Phytonutrients are nature’s marvelous provision in healing various diseases. Carrots are also rich in phytonutrients, including lutein, lycopene, antioxidants, alpha, beta, and gamma carotenes, zeaxanthin, and xanthophylls.
Carrots Effect on Common Health Problems
Acidosis
The alkalizing elements in carrot juice help balance the blood’s acidityas well as blood sugar levels.
The Standard American Diet consists of highly acidic animal protein, refined sugar and grains. Conversely, The Hallelujah Diet contains lots of alkalizing plant sourced foods (carrot juice being one of the most alkalizing). When people stop consuming the Standard American Diet and start consuming The Hallelujah Diet, they are usually able to stop taking their over-the-counter and doctor prescribed antacids in a short period of time.
Anemia
The molecules in carrots are very similar to the molecules in human hemoglobin, making it a tremendous blood builder.
Atherosclerosis
This miraculous cleansing power of juices helps scrub away built-up fat deposits on arterial walls, reducing risk of heart attack and stroke, while often eliminating need for medications due to high blood pressure.
Cancer
The daily consumption of fresh carrot juice not only reduces cancer risk, but also contributes in its reversal after the cancer has manifested.
At the Gerson Institute in Tijuana, Mexico, they have helped patients empower their immune systems to reverse cancer (even terminal cancer). Patients receive eight glasses of freshly extracted carrot juice daily and four glasses of green juices along with other healing modalities.
Cholesterol
The pectin in carrot juice helps lower serum levels of LDL cholesterol, reducing the need for cholesterol lowering medications.
Congestion
The juice of carrots is extremely effective in dispelling mucus from the ears, nose and throat, while improving sinusitis, asthma, and allergy problems.
Eyes
The beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, and zeaxanthin found in carrot juice are some of the most powerful nutrients for the optic system. In addition to helping to improving eyesight, these nutrients also provide special protection against astigmatism, macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma.
After consuming carrot juice on a daily basis since the 1970s, I was able to pass my North Carolina drivers eye test without glasses at the age of 75. This ended a restriction on my driver’s license for corrective lenses after over 50 years.
Infertility
One of the primary reasons for infertility is a lack of nutrients and enzymes in the diet. Regular use of carrot juice can help provide nutrients that benefit the reproduction system.
In fact, dozens of women who could not conceive prior to adopting The Hallelujah Diet have been able to conceive after changing their diet.
Inflammation
Carrot juice has anti-inflammatory properties that greatly reduce the symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, gout, and other inflammations.
Immune System
Most people who consume the Standard American Diet (SAD) have immune systems that are not sufficiently protective against germs, viruses, and bacteria. Carrot juice is a powerful immune system builder. It helps the body build resistance to germs, viruses, bacteria, and infections.
Nursing Mothers
Carrot juice enhances the quality and quantity of mother’s breast milk, helping the baby to grow strong and resistant to disease.
Skin Problems
The incredibly high quality nutrients in carrot juice nourish the skin. This helps prevent dry skin, psoriasis, and other skin problems. It also helps improve or eliminate these conditions if they already exist.
Water Retention
Carrot juice is a diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluids, reducing water retention, and thus reducing the need for medications. Carrot juice is especially helpful for women during their monthly menstrual cycle and during pregnancy.
The above is only a short and partial list of the benefits one can derive from the regular consumption of carrot juice. There are numerous more benefits, but we could go on for days.
Eating Carrots vs. Juicing Carrots
In short, you simply cannot get the same benefits of carrot juice by eating carrots.
According to Dr. Kirschner (M.D.) in his book Live Food Juices, eating a carrot forces your digestive system to separate the carrot fiber from the carrot juice. This uses a lot of energy and destroys over 65% of the nutrients in the process.
Dr. Kirschner goes on to say that juicing carrots before consuming them is a different story. The juicing machine removes the pulp for you, eliminating much of the digestive process. As a result, 92% of the nutrients are available at cellular level for almost immediate use.
It takes approximately one pound of carrots to produce eight ounces of carrot juice. Few people could eat a pound of carrots even if the nutrient intake was the same. Consuming eight ounces of carrot juice is much easier.
It Matters Where Your Carrots Come From
Carrots that contain the highest level of nutrients produce the sweetest juice. That is why we personally use and recommend California-grown carrots. The Hallelujah Acres Store carries the Bunny Luv (Grimmway Farms) brand of organic carrots.
Ancient volcanic activity in the California region accounts for a large amount of trace minerals in the soil. Trace minerals produce a sweeter carrot. For the same reason, California-grown fruits are sweeter, as are fruits grown in Oregon and Washington state.
The Best Juicers For Carrots
I do not recommend a centrifugal juicer for juicing any vegetable. This kind of juicer has a basket that spins at a very fast speed (up to 3,000 RPM) which flings the juice through the air, causing oxidation. Centrifugal juicers are more affordable than other juicers and are better than nothing. However, they are not advisable for a person dealing with a serious illness.
Champion Juicer
This is a workhorse of a juicer that has been around for a very long time. It does an excellent job of juicing carrots but not as good a job juicing leafy greens.
Green Star Juicer
This juicer does an excellent job juicing carrots as well as leafy greens. The brand new Green Star Elite is an exceptional machine and probably the best juicer on the market today except for the $2,000 Norwalk Press.
Hurom Juicer
This is an excellent juicer for the person who has very little room on their countertop. It has a small footprint in comparison to the juicers mentioned above. It is also easier to use for the person without a lot of arm strength, but not recommended for large amounts of juicing.
Why Factory-made Carrot Juice Is Not Worth Your Money
I believe factory-made carrot juice, commercially available in a can, bottle or other container, is basically worthless. These juices have either been cooked or pasteurized, which destroys the enzymes. They are dead food.
Occasionally you will find health food stores that offer freshly extracted, non-pasteurized carrot juice. This juice will usually keep a day or two in the refrigerator.
How To Store Carrot Juice
All of the living nutrients in freshly extracted carrot juice can be preserved for 24 to 72 hours if certain steps are taken. First, use any of the above juicers, strain, and place in 8 oz canning jars all the way to the top. Cover the jars with a tight fitting lid, locking out as much air as possible. Then place in a refrigerator or ice chest (if traveling).
Start Juicing Today!
Juicing is one of the best ways to nourish your body and to provide it the building materials it needs to build healthy cells and a strong immune system. It is not always convenient and it takes some time — but I guarantee it is well worth it!
