人生以元气为根本。以呼吸为关键。以心神为根基。以肾脏为蒂固。天地之间的距离是八万四千里。人心与肾之间的距离是八寸四分。这里所说的肾是指内肾，即位于脐下一寸三分处。其中有一条脉络，用来贯通元息（先天之气）的浮沉变化。呼吸统摄全身百脉，一呼气时百脉皆开，一吸气时百脉皆合。天地造化的运行流行，也不出“呼吸”这两个字。人的呼吸如果常在心肾之间进行，那么血气自然顺畅，元气自然坚固，七情（喜、怒、忧、思、悲、恐、惊）不会炽盛，全身的病痛自然消除。
每逢子、午、卯、酉这四个时辰，在安静的房间里，用厚褥子铺在床上，盘腿跗坐（脚背贴于大腿），闭目不看东西，用棉絮塞住耳朵，断绝念头和思虑，意念跟随呼吸的一出一入，上下于心肾之间。不要急促也不要缓慢，任凭其自然。坐完一炷香的时间后，感觉口鼻的气息不再粗重，渐渐变得柔和。再过一炷香时间后，感觉口鼻的气息似乎没有出入。然后缓缓伸直双脚，睁开眼睛，取下耳塞，下床走几步，仰卧在床上，小睡片刻后起来，喝半碗粥。不可从事劳累或恼怒的事情，以免损伤静功的效果。每天按照这种方法练习，两个月之后，自然会见到功效。
不修炼金丹，先吞咽玉液（口中津液）。呼出脏腑中的毒气，吸入采集天地的清气。太上玉轴六字气诀中，《道藏》里的《玉轴经》提到，五脏六腑的气，因为五味（酸、苦、甘、辛、咸）熏灼而不调和，加上六欲七情积久生病，内伤脏腑，外攻九窍，导致全身受病。轻则形成顽固癖疾，重则导致盲废，更重则导致伤亡。所以用六字气诀来治疗五脏六腑的疾病。其方法是：通过“呼”字来泻去脏腑的毒瓦斯，通过“吸”字来采集天地的清气来补益它。当天就有小效，十天有大效，一年后万病不生，延年益寿。这是卫生养生的宝物，非人勿传。
呼有六种，分别是呵、呼、嘘、嘻、吹、呬（注：原文此处缺字，根据上下文及中医常识应为“呬”，对应肺）。吸只有一种。呼有六种的原因在于：用“呵”字治疗心气，用“呼”字治疗脾气，用“呬”字治疗肺气，用“嘘”字治疗肝气，用“嘻”字治疗胆气，用“吹”字治疗肾气。这六字气诀分别主治五脏六腑。
凡是天地的运气，从子时到巳时为六个阳时，从午时到亥时为六个阴时。如果在阳时练习，就面向东方，窗户不必完全关闭，但要忌讳风邪侵入。解开衣带，端正坐姿，叩齿三十六次以安定神志。先搅动口中的浊津漱口炼化，二三百下，等到口中变成清水，就低头向左吞咽，用心意送下，直到到达腹中。低头开口，先念“呵”字，以吐出心中的毒瓦斯。念的时候耳朵听不到“呵”字的声音，如果听到声音就会气息粗重，从而损伤心气。念完后，仰头闭口，用鼻子徐徐吸入天地的清气，以补益心气。吸气时耳朵也听不到吸气声，如果听到声音就会气息粗重，也会损伤心气。只是“呵”令时间短，“吸”令时间长，即吐少纳多。吸完后，再低头念“呵”字，耳朵再次听不到“呵”字声。“呵”完后又仰头用鼻子徐徐吸入清气以补心，也听不到吸气声。像这样吸气六次，心中的毒瓦斯就逐渐消散，又将天地的清气补进去，心的元气也就逐渐恢复了。
接着再按照这个方式念“呼”字，耳朵也听不到“呼”声。像这样“呼”六次，是为了散脾毒而补脾元。接着再念“呬”字以泻肺毒，以吸气补肺元，也必须六次。接着念“嘘”字，以泻肝毒，以吸气补肝元；“嘻”字以泻胆毒，吸气以补胆元；“吹”字以泻肾毒，吸气以补肾元。像这样各做六次，称为“小周”。所谓“小周”，就是六六三十六次。三十六次后六气遍行，脏腑的毒瓦斯逐渐消除，病根逐渐除去，神气逐渐完备。
接下来看是哪个脏腑受病。如果是眼病，就再念“嘘”、“嘻”二字，各十八遍，仍然每次配合吸气来补益。总共三十六次，称为“中周”。“中周”是第二次的三十六次，通计为七十二次。接着再按照前面呵、呼、呬、嘘、嘻、吹六字的方法，各做六次，都必须呼以泻之，吸以补之，更加精诚恳切，不可懈怠废弃。这是第三次的三十六次，称为“大周”。总共为一百零八次，这就是“百八诀”。
午时属于阴时，如果有病就面向南方练习。南方属火，所以能驱除阴毒。然而这不如子时后到巳时前，面向东方练习，因为那是阳时。如果早起在床上面向东方，将六字各做六次，这是“小周”，也可以治疗眼病。凡是眼中的各种症状，只有这个诀法能去除。其他病症也是如此。如果病情严重，每个字做五十次，总共三百次，六腑就周遍了。然后像之前一样漱炼咽液、叩齿。像这样重复三次，总共九百次，没有治不好的病。孙真人说：“天阴雾恶、风猛寒之时，不要取气（练功），只要闭气（静守）即可。”
扶桑至宝丹：扶桑树高高拂云，海东日出雾气氤氲。沧海变桑田历经几亿年，这棵树移植根系至今尚存。结出的果实像丹砂又像漆，绿叶茂盛翠绿可触摸。洗净磨碎放入鼎炉就是灵药，普通的芝草树木都不允许与之并列。叶子啊叶子，愿如玉般珍贵你，绿荫里面有桃源仙境。
胡僧说：蚕吃桑叶吐出丝，结成锦绣；人吃生脂（指桑叶或相关滋补品），延年除灾。大概嫩桑叶的性质本来平和，不冷不热。生长在郊野之外，担心被蛇蝎沾染。必须选择家园中嫩且存活的桑树，采摘几十斤，用长流水清洗，摘去叶蒂，在阳光下晒干，以干燥为标准。再取巨胜子（黑芝麻）作为臣药，用炼蜜做成丸药，大小如梧桐子。每天服用两次，大约一百丸，用白开水送服。三个月之后，身体会出现疹粟，这是药力运行的表现，千万不要惊恐畏惧。随后全身光洁，像凝固的油脂一样。服用半年之后，精力转生，各种疾病不再发生。长期服用不停止，自然能登上高寿。老人服用它，脚步稳健眼睛明亮，又能消痰生津，补髓添精，功效不小。
Human life takes Yuan Qi (Primordial Qi) as its root, breath (Xi) as its origin, the Heart Mind (Shen) as its root, and the Kidney as its stalk. The distance between Heaven and Earth is 84,000 li. The distance between the Heart and the Kidney in the human body is 8 cun 4 fen. Here, "Kidney" refers to the Inner Kidney, located 1.3 cun below the umbilicus. Within it lies a vessel that connects the floating and sinking of Yuan Xi (Primordial Breath). Breath governs all vessels: upon exhalation, all vessels open; upon inhalation, all vessels close. The creative transformation of Heaven and Earth does not go beyond the two characters of "breath." If human respiration remains between the Heart and the Kidney, blood and Qi will naturally flow smoothly, Yuan Qi will naturally consolidate, the Seven Emotions (Joy, Anger, Worry, Thought, Sorrow, Fear, Fright) will not become excessive, and diseases of the hundred bones will naturally disappear.
At each of the Zi, Wu, Mao, and You hours, in a quiet room, spread thick cushions on the bed, sit cross-legged with soles touching the thighs, close eyes without looking, plug ears with cotton, cut off thoughts and worries, and let the intention follow the breath coming and going, moving up and down between the Heart and the Kidney. Do not be hurried nor slow; allow nature to take its course. After sitting for the time it takes to burn one incense stick, you will feel that the breath from the mouth and nose is no longer coarse, gradually becoming gentle. After another incense stick's time, you will feel that the breath from the mouth and nose seems to have no entry or exit. Then slowly extend your feet, open your eyes, remove the ear plugs, get off the bed, walk a few steps, lie supine on the bed, sleep briefly, then rise, drink half a bowl of porridge. Do not engage in labor or anger, lest you damage the effects of the quiet practice. Practice according to this method daily; after two months, efficacy will naturally appear.
Without refining Golden Elixir (Jin Dan), first swallow Jade Fluid (Yu Ye, saliva). Exhale the toxins of the Zang-Fu organs, inhale and gather the clear Qi of Heaven and Earth. In the *Tai Shang Yu Zhou Liu Zi Qi Jue* (Six Syllable Breath Method of the Supreme Heavenly Axis), the *Yu Zhou Jing* in the Daoist Canon states that the Qi of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs becomes unharmonious due to the scorching influence of the Five Flavors (Sour, Bitter, Sweet, Pungent, Salty), and prolonged accumulation of the Six Desires and Seven Emotions causes illness, injuring the Zang-Fu internally and attacking the Nine Orifices externally, leading to disease throughout the body. Mildly, it causes stubborn disorders; severely, blindness and disability; even more severely, death. Therefore, the Six Syllable Breath Method is used to treat diseases of the Five Zang and Six Fu organs. The method involves using "exhalation syllables" to drain the toxic vapors of the Zang-Fu organs, and using "inhalation" to gather the clear Qi of Heaven and Earth to replenish them. Small results appear on the day, great results within ten days, and after a year, myriad diseases do not arise, extending life and benefiting longevity. This is a treasure for health preservation; do not pass it on to unworthy persons.
There are six exhalations: He, Hu, Xi, Si, Chui, and [Si] (Note: Original text missing character, context implies 'Si' for Lung). There is only one inhalation. The reason there are six exhalations is that "He" treats Heart Qi, "Hu" treats Spleen Qi, "[Si]" treats Lung Qi, "Xu" treats Liver Qi, "Xi" treats Gallbladder Qi, and "Chui" treats Kidney Qi. These six syllables correspond to the Five Zang and Six Fu organs.
Regarding the Qi of Heaven and Earth, from Zi hour to Si hour are the six Yang hours; from Wu hour to Hai hour are the six Yin hours. If practicing during Yang hours, face East. Do not close windows completely, but beware of wind entering. Loosen belts, sit upright, clench teeth thirty-six times to stabilize the spirit. First, stir the turbid saliva in the mouth to rinse and refine it, two or three hundred times, until it becomes clear water. Lower head and swallow to the left, sending it down with the mind until it reaches the abdomen. Lower head, open mouth, and first recite "He" to exhale toxic vapors from the Heart. While reciting, the ears must not hear the sound of "He"; if heard, the breath becomes coarse, damaging Heart Qi. After finishing, raise head, close mouth, and slowly inhale the clear Qi of Heaven and Earth through the nose to supplement Heart Qi. While inhaling, the ears must not hear the sound of inhalation; if heard, the breath becomes coarse, also damaging Heart Qi. The "He" command should be short, the inhalation command long, i.e., exhale little, inhale much. After inhalation, lower head again to recite "He," ensuring ears do not hear the sound. After "He," raise head and slowly inhale clear Qi through the nose to supplement the Heart, again without hearing the inhalation sound. Repeat this inhalation six times. The toxic vapors of the Heart will gradually dissipate, and the clear Qi of Heaven and Earth will be supplemented, restoring the Heart's Yuan Qi.
Next, recite "Hu" following this pattern, ensuring ears do not hear the sound. Recite "Hu" six times to disperse Spleen toxicity and supplement Spleen Yuan Qi. Next, recite "[Si]" to drain Lung toxicity and inhale to supplement Lung Yuan Qi, also six times. Next, recite "Xu" to drain Liver toxicity and inhale to supplement Liver Yuan Qi; "Xi" to drain Gallbladder toxicity and inhale to supplement Gallbladder Yuan Qi; "Chui" to drain Kidney toxicity and inhale to supplement Kidney Yuan Qi. Perform each six times. This is called the "Small Cycle." The "Small Cycle" consists of 6x6=36 repetitions. After 36 repetitions, the six Qi circulate fully, Zang-Fu toxic vapors gradually eliminate, disease roots remove, and Shen Qi completes.
Next, observe which Zang-Fu organ is diseased. For eye diseases, recite "Xu" and "Xi," eighteen times each, still supplementing with inhalation each time. Totaling 36 repetitions constitutes the "Middle Cycle." The "Middle Cycle" is the second set of 36, totaling 72. Next, repeat the previous six-syllable method (He, Hu, [Si], Xu, Xi, Chui), six times each, exhaling to drain and inhaling to supplement, with greater devotion and without neglect. This is the third set of 36, called the "Great Cycle." In total, this is 108 repetitions, known as the "Hundred Eight Formula."
Wu hour belongs to Yin hours. If ill, face South to practice. South belongs to Fire, thus dispelling Yin toxicity. However, this is inferior to facing East during the Yang hours (after Zi hour before Si hour). If rising early in bed facing East, performing six repetitions of each syllable constitutes the "Small Cycle," which can also treat eye diseases. All eye symptoms can be removed by this formula. Other ailments are similar. For severe illnesses, perform fifty repetitions per syllable, totaling 300, circulating the Six Fu organs. Then rinse, refine, swallow saliva, and clench teeth as before. Repeat this three times, totaling 900 repetitions. No disease will remain untreated. Sun Simiao said: "On cloudy, foggy, windy, and cold days, do not draw Qi (practice breathing); merely hold the breath (maintain stillness)."
Fusang Zhibao Pill: Fusang trees reach high into the clouds, misty vapor rises where the sun emerges from the East Sea. After countless eons of seas turning into fields, this tree's transplanted roots still survive. Its fruits resemble cinnabar and lacquer, its lush green leaves vibrant to the touch. Washed, ground, and placed in the cauldron, it becomes a spiritual medicine, surpassing common fungi and woods. Leaves, oh leaves, may you be precious as jade; within the green shade lies a Peach Blossom Spring.
The Hu Monk said: Silkworms eat mulberry leaves and spin silk into brocade; humans consume raw fat (referring to mulberry properties), extending life and removing calamities. Tender mulberry leaves are inherently peaceful, neither cold nor hot. Growing in the wild, they fear contamination by snakes and scorpions. Select tender leaves from mulberry trees in one's own garden, pick dozens of jin, wash with flowing water, remove stems, dry in the sun until dry. Take Jushengzi (Sesamum indicum seeds / Black Sesame) as the minister herb, refine honey to make pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take twice daily, about 100 pills, washed down with plain boiled water. After three months, the body may develop prickles; this is the action of the medicine's power, do not be alarmed. Soon, the whole body becomes smooth and clean, like congealed fat. After half a year of consumption, vitality regenerates, various diseases cease. Long-term use leads to extreme longevity. For the elderly, it strengthens walking and brightens eyes, resolves phlegm, generates fluids, supplements marrow, and adds essence. Its efficacy is significant.
