現代社會步調緊湊，人人皆忙，經常忙到忘記節奏、忽略休息，甚至積勞成疾。古人有云
：「常欲小勞以養生，太勞則耗，不勞則淤。」勞動需以休息來調節。休息就是懂得適可
而止、見好就收。健康的人都需要休息，何況是生病的人，更需要調養修煉。

一個人如果病了，一定是有個地方不夠乾淨，不是身體不夠乾淨，就是心理不夠乾淨，於
是形成阻塞，循環到不了，身體失去規律，甚至規劃的能力也沒有了，氣血經過就拐彎，
久之失衡，更難修復，最後變得無靈、無氣又無力了！

休息時好好調整身心，再出發時動力十足！休息時最好能保持念頭單純，不要胡思亂想。
如何能念頭單純？不妨追求形而上的東西，譬如靜坐、看聖賢書等，皆有助心神安定，若
有幸得到智慧啟發，瞬間提昇，也能改善身體狀況，達到不可思議的效果！

休息並非停滯不動，而是暫停忙亂的步調，重新調節身體的規律。人體以循環問題最為重
要，練氣可促進循環，也不會過度消耗，是任何年齡、任何狀況的人都適合鍛鍊的方法。
練氣還可排除體內晦氣、廢氣，自然提高免疫功能，製造抗體。持衡練習更能累積能量，
使好者更好，萎者再生，但別忘了前面所提到的規律。

就大自然的力學而言，力量有波動和巨震兩種。波動是規律且穩定的，是週而復始、生生
不息的力量。譬如地球之轉動，因自轉有晝夜變化，因公轉有四季交替，規律運作，循環
不已。巨震則是不規律且充滿變化的，也許突如其來、也許經過累積，是難以預測、具有
毀滅性的力量。譬如海嘯突襲，瞬間淹沒大地，但若能察覺其中生機，毀滅卻是重生的契
機！

我們處於天地間，要讓身心變得規律，與天地共振，才能天地人三才合一！鍛鍊平甩功即
是製造波動，它的規律可平復身心。但因身體多少有其不規律之處，練習一段時日後，能
量累積使身體產生巨震，即俗稱「瞑眩反應」，此時更要繼續鍛鍊，掌握一線生機，讓規
律的力量去平服原來的不規律，待裡外合一，巨震消失，恢復規律的運行，則生機更盛！
平甩功由外而內，讓人從規律中變得一團和氣，從和氣中生出平常心和平等性；有了平常
心和平等性，就容易體會到真正的平和，以致於能恢復平衡，與大自然穩定而恆常的能量
同流一氣！


Qigong Balances Mind and Body

Modern society is characterized by a fast pace which keeps everyone
constantly busy. An ancient Chinese proverb says, “A little work helps you
live long and healthy. Too much work depletes your energy. No work at all
causes your body to stagnate.” Work and rest are two sides of the same
coin. To rest is to pause at the appropriate moment and to stop when the
work is done. A healthy person needs rest, not to mention a sick one.

When a person gets sick, there must be impurities in his body. If they are
not in his body, they are in his mind. These impurities form blockages that
impede internal circulation and tip the body out of balance. When qi and
blood meet a blockage, they take a detour, causing said person to slowly lose
control of himself. It becomes increasingly difficult for him to recuperate.
He gets further out of balance, and eventually becomes spiritless and,
finally, lifeless.

When you rest, rest; and when you move, move. Keep your mind simple when you
rest. How does one keep the mind simple? It is best to spend your rest time
on spiritual activities such as meditation or, reading books of wisdom.
These activities help stabilize your mind and inspire you with wisdom.
Enlightenment thus achieved also often results in miraculous recovery from
physical illnesses.

Rest is not stagnation. Rest is pausing long enough to find your internal
rhythm again. Good internal circulation is the first key to good health.
Practicing qigong improves internal circulation without causing physical
fatigue, and is therefore an ideal exercise for people of all ages. It
removes toxins from your body and strengthens your immune system. Daily
qigong practice builds up energy and even helps revive withered organs.

The energy of Nature manifests itself in two forms. One is rhythmic and
steady. It forms a self-feeding cycle that renews itself constantly. The
rotation of the Earth is an example of Nature’s steady rhythm, of a
self-renewing cycle. Energy is transmitted during the day and night, as
well as during the four seasons. The Earth’s seasons, rotations, and
weather are circulation on a grand scale. The other way the energy of Nature
manifests itself is in sudden, unpredictable ways. Arhythmic energy
engenders massive tremors and often descends upon us with great destructive
power such as, for instance, a tsunami. Paradoxically, such destruction also
contains within itself a renewing power that opens the door to rebirth.

Human beings live between heaven and Earth. When we learn to put ourselves
in a rhythm that vibrates at the same frequency as heaven and Earth, we
become one with the cosmos. Pingshuai produces vibrations that rehabilitate
our mind and body. Continue to practice this exercise every day, and after a
while your body will build up enough energy to harmonize conflicts already
existing in your body. This harmonization process will cause internal
tremors, which can be uncomfortable. This is a crucial transition stage.
You must continue to practice and allow the renewing power to bring
disharmonies into harmony. When the tremors end, you will find yourself with
a firmer internal rhythm.

Pingshuai starts from the outside and works towards the inside. It helps you
find harmony in rhythm. You will be able to handle things with equanimity
and treat people with impartiality. You will feel a true peacefulness in a
state of dynamic balance, and remain one with the eternal energy of the
Universe.
