About Quiet Listening

Dear Teacher Kong De: Happy New Year!! First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answer our questions. We still have one point that we are not clear about, that is, "In practicing martial arts, the adjustment of breathing should be from the unnatural state of ordinary people to the extremely natural state. However, some people keep their heads down and often make the ordinary unnaturalness even more unnatural." The mistake here lies in one's own mind interfering with breathing. There are now two methods to choose from: One is not to pay attention to breathing, but just listen quietly to your own pulse beating (at the back of the head), listen first and then forget. Second, when focusing on breathing, only pay attention to the small space below the nostrils and above the philtrum, allowing it to come and go as it moves, while merely being a bystander. Generally speaking, either of these two laws can be corrected. But if your fellow practitioners cannot give up the pursuit of their thoughts, then they have no choice but to stop practicing. Otherwise, unexpected consequences will arise. The first method in it, please explain in detail. The key is what does "pulse pulsation" (at the back of the head) mean and how to operate it? Secondly, I would like to ask about the setup of the "Kongde Q&A" column and the situation of the hosts of this column. For instance, "What's the situation with Kan Shencong, Wubi, Banzhu, Nianhua Smile and others? Are they the younger brothers of Teacher Kongde?" . Also, may I ask, there is a person named Yi Hua Yi SAN who will participate in this column. Do you know his situation? Also, I once downloaded the "Wu Xuan Chapter" and "Qiu Chuji's Secret Transmission of the Great Pill" he collected from the "Kong De Q&A" column. Wait. I deleted it due to a mistake on my computer. I don't know how to download it again? Finally, we sincerely hope that the "Kongde Q&A" column can continue to be held and run well!! By no means should one blindly pursue popularity, the number of website visitors and the number of readers, etc., and lose enthusiasm and reduce the quality of this column. Because cultivating the great way is inherently a matter of being content with solitude. Teacher Kong De replied: When a person is in an extremely quiet state and pays attention to the pulse within the body, the most obvious sound of the pulse is at the back of the head, as if the sound is taking place in an empty palace. This is also the location of the hypothalamus, where very profound mysteries of life lie. The beating of the pulse is an instinct of the human body. Listening quietly to the beating of the pulse in the back of the head can effectively eliminate distractions and return the heart with the heart. The operation is "listening quietly", which means that you can benefit from practicing quickly without going astray. These issues need to be explained in detail. I really don't have the time. Just follow the instructions.
