This full experience is what Zen calls "understanding", which can be said to be the top qigong. Because the energy of emotion is very high, when it rises, you should use this energy to get through the meridians.

Q 1
Teacher Hu, I have always been curious: Why do we care about what the outside world thinks of us? What role does self play? How can we fully accept our imperfections and shortcomings, and the happiness of live high?
Hu Yinmeng: Well, actually, it's not all bad to care about what the outside world says about us. If a person doesn't care at all, it's very troublesome, because if he doesn't even have the motivation to improve himself, he will become complacent and muddle along. Therefore, caring about others' evaluation of us shows that we have a high willingness to gain affirmation, which drives us to learn and grow.
But psychologically, it will bring shame, instability, a subtle psychological fluctuation, and this fluctuation may occur frequently.
As long as the tone of others is a little higher, a little rough, or a little disrespectful to us, we will immediately have inner doubts.
If so, we must constantly examine the inner depths of these fluctuations with awareness. In other words, looking at this fluctuating moment, if you can't see this moment, there is no way to immediately connect with that deep sense of loss or shame. You must connect it at the moment of rising.
In other words, you should learn to "soak" in the inner lack, inadequacy and inferiority. Just like diving, you have to turn your head and dive into this energy, but your thoughts can't be criticized, talked to yourself or analyzed. But to fully experience and appreciate these negative feelings.
This "experience" itself is talked about in any spiritual system, including the Diamond Road, Kirchner's book, and Pema Qiuzhuo. This kind of "experience" is called "experience", which is what our traditional Buddhist Zen said.
The deeper this "realization" is, the higher the unity of that state, and the higher our acceptance of our inner negative experience. The higher the acceptance, the less we care about what others say about us.
Reader: My experience is that it is sometimes difficult to live in such negative emotions. ...
Hu Yinmeng: It's very difficult, so we need to work harder.
Reader: Try to live with bad feelings?
Hu Yinmeng: Yes.
Reader: If you scold me, I will be "angry" at that moment, and then come back to find myself angry at that moment?
Hu Yinmeng: Yes, if I was on fire then, I was actually trapped by that man, right? I'll react immediately if you scold me. Isn't that how you control me?
I can't make a decision. In fact, we can't make a decision on every reaction, so we have to come back and face the rising anger. Don't let it out, but let it show our whole body anger.
In Zen, this is called "turning troubles into bodhi and five poisons into five wisdom". We can say that it is the top qigong, because the energy of this emotion is very high.
When a person has no emotional energy, his energy is actually very low, and when every energy rises, you should use this energy to open the meridians.
This emotional energy comes from the chakra system. Our seven chakras are responsible for 72,000 meridians in the body. All emotions are born and died in the meridians and chakras, so when you allow them to be fully presented, it is equivalent to opening the meridians. And the activity of thought is to some extent to eliminate emotions.
In this world, most people have never experienced their emotions 100%, and few people have experienced fear 100%, because "100%" means inner peace and brain peace. You allow this emotional energy to be fully reflected.
Q2
When we are angry, we especially want to vent, such as finding a pillow to hit us. Is this the right way to vent?
Some people think they are ugly. When they walk on the road, they think there is something wrong with the way others look at them. She wants plastic surgery and breast augmentation to make herself look better. She thinks it can fill the sense of lack. what do you think?
Hu Yinmeng: Life is alive. When you enter deeper practice, you won't stop doing something.
In other words, you have the freedom of plastic surgery, and you have the freedom to fill this gap. But in the process of plastic surgery and filling in the sense of lack, you should also "look" and take your eyes to see what the truth is in this process-how long can that confidence rise? How deep can it be? Still have a follow-up missing, more angry?
This long process is to let us experience and see constantly. To a certain extent, we will become more and more understanding, more and more relieved and more relaxed.
Reader: So anger can't be vented?
Hu Yinmeng: When we vent, we project it on each other. If you use awareness to experience how you project yourself, how will the other person react after the projection? There are many psychological states hidden between his reaction mode and our interaction mode. In this process, we observe with awareness, because our catharsis reveals a lot of truth.
So it has two levels: you don't vent, but you have 100% internal experience, or you can know a lot after venting. The key is whether you realize it or not.
Q3
Many people will blame others or the external environment after encountering problems. As a "yogi", how do you deal with your troubles?
Hu Yinmeng: I'm talking about my whole biography. Maybe you haven't seen it. My biography thoroughly reveals my troubles and pains in every development process from birth to 50 years old, as well as how to explore myself and how to study solutions. So it is difficult to describe the subjective experience in such detail, but I can still share it with you.
For me, learning at work or my own skills and skills, including therapeutic skills, psychological research and spiritual skills development, have never been a problem. Because I like learning, I think the happiest thing in life is that you can keep learning and growing.
In the course of my life, this part of learning is very simple, but the most difficult part is the so-called "enlightenment", that is, how to let go of this impulse to learn at any time and place while learning, so as to live in an empty and noumenon state without any human activities.
This is still a big challenge for me, because this challenge is related to health. Our nervous system and health status, including our gastrointestinal, cardiopulmonary functions, etc. It will affect our ability to live in the present, and I am not very healthy, so there are many intractable diseases to be solved and faced. Only when my body has sufficient conditions can I live in the present with complete peace of mind, so it is still a great challenge for me.
Another big challenge in my life is to face money, because I have "resentment" against me and money. This comes from my mother. She loves money too much, because she loves money too much. When I was young, I had to oppose her tendency to love money.
After years of opposition to money, when my mother died and I had my own children, this sense of responsibility developed, and I gradually realized my mother's fear of money and her attitude in reality. In fact, there are elements of "courage to face", but not all of them are "love for money". That's why I slowly adjusted my evaluation of mom and dad's imbalance to a more balanced state. In other words, I gradually balanced my rejection of my mother and my love complex and extreme worship of my father.
When I reached a balance, I realized that I was really getting closer and closer between the opposites of "emptiness" and "being".
Some people tend to be "you", while others tend to be "empty". My innate quality is "emptiness", and I have little interest in "you" and all the laws of the world, which is also an incomplete state.
I must gradually balance and accept the desires of people in the world through this kind of learning from my mother, and then tolerate these desires, let go of these "spiritual cleanliness" tendencies, and develop a more balanced, inclusive and compassionate mentality. For me, this development is really presented on the prototype of my parents.
