Wang Yangming pointed out here that when he first realized his mind, it was difficult to concentrate because of various factors, the most important of which was related to people's desires, so he had to learn to sit still alone first. In Longchang, Guizhou, Wang Yangming really developed the habit of sitting alone. Whenever he has leisure time, he will find a clean place, sit down, close his eyes, eliminate all troubles and worries, and let his heart calm down completely.
Not only Wang Yangming, but also Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism all emphasize it, even a compulsory course. Buddhism says meditation or meditation, while Taoism says sitting and forgetting. Although there is no fixed statement in Confucianism, both Confucius and Zhu emphasized the benefits of meditation.
How do modern people adjust themselves?
For modern people with extremely fast pace of life, it is a pity that they are often busy and have no time to calm down, which will make them live more and more tired. Therefore, whether from the perspective of strengthening the heart or relaxing the mood, you should leave yourself some space and time for solitude and meditation, and do a meditation exercise for your life.
In this process, you need to temporarily put down the burden of life and work, turn off all social software, and even put down your mobile phone. Then, you can try to sit still, but if you really have no patience to sit still, you can switch to other ways of being alone that suit you, as long as you can calm your mind.
