Do you often have wild thoughts too? A casual remark from someone can make you ponder for a whole day; Lying in bed at night, replaying scenes from the day in my mind like playing a movie, the more I think about it, the more I can't fall asleep; Even though nothing has happened yet, I have rehearsed the worst outcome eight hundred times in my heart?

This state is called "falling and lifting" in Buddhism - the heart jumps up and down like a monkey, unable to find peace for a moment. Psychology has given it a scientific name, called 'rumination thinking'. To put it simply, it's just wild thinking.

The content of this issue is not about big truths, only about two things: first, to see through how wild thoughts consume you; Secondly, I will provide you with a few truly effective methods to help you get out of this cycle.

We will talk about:

✅  Two stories that have been passed down for thousands of years: A cup of muddy water from the father of Teacher Jingshan Temple, telling you why the more you want to calm down, the more you can't calm down; The sachet left by Master Yixiu to his disciples contains only three words, yet it can turn a thousand year old temple from danger to safety.

✅  The three most common types of wild thoughts: ruminating on the past, previewing the future, and speculating about others - see which one you have fallen for.

✅  Five concise and powerful methods: no detours, no chicken blood, from cognitive sorting to breathing training, every step can be used directly.

If you are often trapped by your own thoughts and feel tired living, you may take a few minutes to read this paragraph. Perhaps you will find that what causes you pain is never life itself, but the incessant voice in your mind.

Leave a sentence in the comment section: If the heart doesn't move, everything will be calm. This is not a slogan, but a seed you planted in the Alaya consciousness. The next time you are overwhelmed by thoughts, it will float up to remind you that you still have a choice.
