【八卦內功問答Q&A】夏練三暑，冬練三寒。
.
?‍♀ 問：「雨季能在戶外走『八卦』嗎？」
.
修練「八卦內功」，最好的方法是一年四季都在戶外，所謂「夏練三暑、冬練三寒」，三九天、三伏天這兩個最嚴酷的季節都能夠堅持下來，才可能練出點功夫來，人也就會結實了。
.
這種感覺有點像古代人鍛造打仗用的兵器──劍，把鐵在爐火裡燒得紅紅的，紅到發亮之後拿出來，再用鐵錘打，它才會堅韌。之後燒紅一下，再猛地放進冷水裡頭，這叫「淬鋼」。忽熱忽冷，使得有些硬度還不夠的鐵，逐漸碳化、鋼化，它的刀口就會變得比較鋒利。好的刀甚至可以切棉花、切膠皮，它之所以如此鋒利，就是因為有這樣一個淬鍊的過程。

人體雖然不是鋼鐵，但大概的意思是一樣的，要經過自然界的極熱和極冷。如果在屋裡頭，夏天開冷氣，冬天開暖氣，溫度是平均的，那麼我們享受的將永遠是春天的溫度，沒有得到四季溫度的淬鍊。所以如果大家的身體可以承受，建議在戶外練。
.
所以，夏練三暑，冬練三寒。
是一種強健體魄，對健康有很大幫助，非常特殊的修練法。
這是改變人的體質，和增加功力的契機，也是老祖宗留下來的祕傳養生之道。
.
但是在越來越城市化的今天，如果大家真的不方便在戶外走「八卦」，歡迎到我們的禪堂或「八卦」修練中心來走「八卦」。

【Energy Bagua Q&A】Practice 3 heats in summer and 3 colds in winter

?‍♀ Question: During the rainy season, can we practise Energy Bagua outdoors?

When practising Energy Bagua, it is most effective to do so outdoors all year round. As the saying goes, ‘Practice 3 heats in summer and 3 colds in winter’. Thus, if we can sustain our practice through the harshest of the days in summer and winter respectively, we would be able to master some skills in the process, and foster greater vitality.

An analogy is the forging of the weapon used in wars in ancient times – the sword. The sword is wrought from iron that had been subject to the furnace. As it turned blinding-white from the initial red-hot state, it is repeatedly hit with the hammer so that it will be toughened. Then, it is heated until red before plunging into cold water; a process called “quenching steel.” The successive hot-and-cold treatment is so that iron that is not hard enough initially, gradually become carbonized and tempered, enabling the blade to become sharper. A superior sword like this can even slice through cotton and rubber, its sharpness due to this process of ‘quenching’.

The human body may not be like steel, but the approach is similar – to sustain (our practice) through nature’s extreme heat and extreme cold. If we remain indoors, with air-conditioning in summer, and the heater in winter, the stable temperature means that we would always enjoy a temperature that of the spring. In this way, the training would not encompass the variations or ‘quenching’ of the four seasons.
Hence, where health permits, it is recommended that we practice outdoors.

Maintenance of practice through the hottest of the summers, and coldest of the winters thus helps to build strong physiques, provides great benefits to health, and is a superior practice approach. Such an approach offers the opportunity to enhance the practitioner’s constitution and skills. It is also a well-kept secret for health and wellness left behind by our forefathers.

Yet, in today’s increasingly urbanized societies, if one really do not have the convenience of practising Energy Bagua outdoors, you are welcome to join us at our respective Bodhi Meditation Centers or Energy Bagua centers.
