平明睡觉,先醒心,后醒眼。两手搓热,熨眼数十遍。以睛左旋右转各九遍。闭住少顷,忽大
挣开。却除风火。披衣起坐,叩齿集神,次鸣天鼓,根据呵、呼、 、吹、嘘、嘻六字诀,吐浊吸清。按五
行相生循序而行一周,散夜来蕴积邪气。随便导引,或进功夫,徐徐栉沐,饮食调和。面宜多擦,发宜
多梳,目宜常运,耳宜常凝,齿宜常叩,口宜常闭,津宜常咽,气宜常提,心宜常静,神宜常存,
背宜常暖,腹宜常摩,胸宜常护,囊宜常裹,言语宜常简默,皮肤宜常干沐。食饱徐行,摩脐擦背,
使食下舒,方可就坐。饱食发痔,食后曲身而坐,必病中满。怒后勿食,食后勿怒。身体常欲小劳,
流水不腐,户枢不朽,运动故也。勿得久劳∶久行伤筋,久立伤骨,久坐伤肉,久卧伤气,久视伤神,
久听伤精。忍小便膝冷成淋,忍大便乃成气痔,着湿衣、汗衣,令人生疮。夜膳勿饱,饮酒勿醉,
醉后勿饮冷,饱余勿便卧。头勿向北卧,头边勿安火炉。切忌子后行房,阳方生而顿减之,一度伤于
百度。大怒交合,成痈疽;疲劳入房,虚损少子。触犯阴阳禁忌,不惟父母受伤,生子亦不仁不孝。
临睡时,调息咽津,叩齿,鸣天鼓。先睡眼,后睡心。侧曲而卧,觉直而伸。昼夜起居,乐在其中矣。
Upon waking at dawn, first awaken the mind (Shen), then open the eyes. Rub both hands until hot, and apply them to the eyes for dozens of repetitions. Rotate the eyeballs left and right, nine times each. Close the eyes for a short while, then suddenly open them wide. This expels wind and fire pathogens. Put on clothes, sit up, click the teeth to gather spirit, then perform "Ming Tian Gu" (Heavenly Drumming). According to the Six Syllable Formula (Liu Zi Jue) of He, Hu, Si, Chui, Xu, and Xi, exhale turbid qi and inhale clear qi. Circulate through the cycle of the Five Elements generating one another once to dissipate evil qi accumulated overnight. Engage in free Daoyin exercises or daily cultivation practices, then slowly comb, bathe, and harmonize diet. The face should be rubbed frequently; hair should be combed often; eyes should move regularly; ears should focus attentively; teeth should be clicked often; mouth should remain closed; saliva should be swallowed frequently; qi should be lifted often; mind should be tranquil; spirit should be preserved; back should be kept warm; abdomen should be massaged; chest should be protected; scrotum should be wrapped; speech should be concise and silent; skin should be dry-bathed frequently. After eating, walk slowly, massage the navel, and rub the back to facilitate digestion before sitting. Full meals may cause hemorrhoids; sitting with a curved body after eating will surely lead to middle-jiao fullness. Do not eat after anger; do not get angry after eating. The body should undergo slight labor: flowing water does not rot, door hinges do not decay, because they move. Avoid excessive fatigue: prolonged walking damages sinews, prolonged standing damages bones, prolonged sitting damages flesh, prolonged lying down damages qi, prolonged viewing damages spirit, prolonged listening damages essence. Withholding urine causes cold knees and leads to Lin syndrome; withholding stool leads to Qi hemorrhoids; wearing wet or sweaty clothes causes sores. Dinner should not be too full; alcohol should not lead to intoxication; do not drink cold liquids after drunkenness; do not lie down immediately after being full. Do not sleep with the head facing north; do not place a stove near the head. Strictly avoid intercourse after the Zi hour (11 PM–1 AM); when Yang is just beginning to generate, sudden depletion causes damage equivalent to a hundred instances. Intercourse during great anger forms carbuncles and ulcers; intercourse while fatigued causes deficiency and scant offspring. Violating Yin-Yang taboos harms not only the parents but also results in children who are unkind and unfilial. Before sleeping, regulate breath, swallow saliva, click teeth, and perform Heavenly Drumming. First let the eyes sleep, then let the mind sleep. Sleep on your side, curled up; stretch straight upon waking. In day and night routines, joy lies within.
