Many illnesses actually stem from long-term stress and repression. When things are constantly bottled up inside, a person becomes anxious and fearful. Even if nothing happens, constant fear and internal conflict disrupt the flow of energy (qi), affecting blood circulation, internal organs, muscles, and bones, naturally leading to health problems. Eating too much is too much for the body; thinking too much is equally mentally taxing. Excessive worry severely damages the spleen and stomach, which are closely linked to emotions. The worse the emotions, the weaker the spleen and stomach; the weaker the spleen and stomach, the worse the emotions. Over time, a person becomes sensitive, suspicious, easily panicked, and falls into catastrophic thinking, unable to live well themselves or love others. Therefore, what truly matters is not just eating less, but thinking less. Life needs to slow down and relax. A person who is too tense cannot replenish their energy (qi), no matter how much supplements they take. Once relaxed, qi and blood flow naturally, and both the body and emotions return to normal. We come into this world essentially as experiencers. Whatever people or events we encounter, they only evoke feelings of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, grief, fear, and surprise. If we don't rush to judge good or bad, nor cling to escaping or grasping, but simply experience it, our perspective on life will be completely different. Just as the seasons change, no season needs to be denied, and emotions are the same. If the heart is like a mirror, it reflects whatever comes, letting it come and go. If you are not led astray, your inner peace and freedom will increase.
