To escape his grim fate, he must make good karma little by little.
He should start by fixing potholes on the road for the traveler's safety. He should pick up garbage on the street and help his neighbors, especially in their building or fixing houses. He should release birds and fish, for example. He should never break the law or make moral mistakes. He should have reverence for the Saint and respect and love for sentient beings.
BLOOD PRESSURE O4
Question: How to treat low blood pressure?
Answer: As mentioned, when the heart muscle becomes flaccid, the heart's contraction will be weak, blood pressure will fall, and blood won't be able to reach the ends of tiny blood vessels under the skin. Consequently, the body's metabolism will be poor, everything will get worse, and especially, the facial skin will turn blue and pale because blood cannot reach very close to the skin. The cause of heart muscle's flaccidity is bad adrenal and sex hormones. Sex hormones enter the bloodstream and penetrate the heart, making the heart muscle thick and strong. Lack of these hormones causes the heart muscle to be flaccid, the heart's contraction force to be weak, and blood pressure to be low.
To treat low blood pressure, you must limit your sex activities to preserve your Yin force. Eat healthy food (one has medicinal properties good for the Yin force, especially dark roots. Black beans, peanuts, carrots, centella, lotus roots, and freshwater snails are good for the Yin force. Some oriental medicines are good for the Yin force, such as Rehmannia glutinosa, Desert living cistanche, and Figwort. (Ask oriental physicians for more information).
Besides, do the Advanced Life Force exercise several times a day, more than 10 movements each time.
While looking for a medicine that strengthens the heart, doctors accidentally discovered that viagra could stiffen the genital muscle, and they turned their Heart Program to serving sexual activities. If they had kept quiet about this ability and proclaimed only the one to strengthen the heart muscle, the world would have been very healthy. Here we see an organic relationship between these two parts, although slightly apart.
Question: Why do some longtime meditators still have high blood pressure? Is it true that meditation relieves stress from the brain; hence, the brain won't order the heart to contract unnecessarily hard?
Answer: There are many different schools of meditation, so the results are not the same. Some schools teach their students to pay much attention to the head, making the life force go up to the brain, putting the brain under pressure gradually. Although the practitioner doesn't have much unwanted thoughts, the life force accumulated in the head for a long time will weaken PSNS, and thus, SNS freely signals the heart to contract harder. The practitioner starts to have high blood pressure and doesn't know why.
Since their school applies such meditation techniques, it isn't easy to give them our comments.\
If we apply Buddha's teaching: "Feel the whole body when breathing in; feel the whole body when breathing out," the mind will always settle down in the abdomen, so the life force won't go up to the brain, and gradually, the Yin force gets improved, and we can avoid many diseases.
Besides feeling the whole body while breathing, Buddha teaches us to build our morality while breathing, such as "breathing in, I eradicate my greed. Breathing out, I eradicate my greed." It will support your PSNS. In general, the early Buddhist meditation technique is perfect.
Understanding this, before learning meditation from anyone, you should find out if his method will make the life force go up to the brain.
Question: Is there any case where the heart is weak, the heart muscle is weak, the contraction force is weak, the blood pressure is low, but because the brain malfunctions, it orders the heart to contract strongly, causing high blood pressure?
Answer: Very good question. Low blood pressure and high blood pressure are two independent mechanisms that can coexist. The heart is weak, but the brain asks it to contract strongly.
You don't have to spend time solving this problem; the result is easy to guess: the heart will soon break. How can a weak heart contract hard? After a week, at most, the heart will break. Like a skinny and weak person who was threatened with a gun to carry a heavy load, he would be exhausted and die on the way.
Therefore, one with a weak heart must keep his Yin force very carefully and keep his mind calm to avoid having two heart diseases simultaneously.
Question: What if a poor person with a weak heart has to work hard to make a living?
Answer: It's an unblessed person. Due to being unblessed, he is unhealthy. Due to being unblessed, he is poor. Suffering from these two things, how can he survive?
To escape his grim fate, he must make good karma little by little. He should start by fixing potholes on the road for the traveler's safety. He should pick up garbage on the street and help his neighbors, especially in their building or fixing houses. He should release birds and fish, for example. He should never break the law or make moral mistakes. He should have reverence for the Saint and respect and love for sentient beings.
