靜坐豈可離陰陽乎？

世人學習靜坐，大多花很多時間，在降伏雜念，要不然就是花很多時間在引導內氣，藉由控制內氣，達到置心一處的效果，降伏雜念。花了很多年練習靜坐，大概就到這個地方了。
但是丹道修鍊，先有陽，後有陰，不只有靜坐，因此不會花很多力氣在降伏雜念。除了陰陽之外，還有玄關一竅，因此也不需要藉由控制內氣，達到置心一處的效果，而能夠藉由開啟玄關一竅，直接達到無念的效果。
光是這兩點，就比市面上大部分的靜坐強多了。
有了陰陽，玄關一竅，丹道修鍊可以很快的進入狀況，有天份者，甚至很快就可以練到三花聚頂，開始進入真人階段。
只可惜，在陰陽之法上，很多人無法接受陽極生陰，陽動陰靜，只是一味的追求靜，卻不知沒有陽極如何陰靜呢？
故周易參同契開頭明義即挑明白了說，『乾坤者，易之門戶，眾卦之父母。坎離匡廓，運轂正軸，牝牡四卦，以為橐籥。覆冒陰陽之道，猶工御者，準繩墨，執衘巒，正規矩，隨軌轍，處中以制外，數在律歷紀。』在在說明陰陽的重要性。
悟真篇更說『報言學道諸君子，不識陰陽莫亂爲。』『陰陽數足自通神，出入豈離玄牝。』
Is Cultivation just sitting?
Many
people spend a large amount time learning how to still their thoughts,
or learning some method to move Qi which in turn allows thoughts to
settle. These practices only lead to “focusing on one thought”.
However,
in the true Daoist practice, there is the balancing of Yin and Yang in
the body, not just merely sitting. Thus, naturally allowing thoughts to
settle. In addition to Yin and Yang of the body, there is also the
activation of The Secret Door (Xuan Guan). When one has entered The
Secret Door, thoughts cease, thus there is no need to rely on means
which help to still thoughts as that ultimately still leads to fixation
on a single thought.
Many people sit for years
with limited progress. However if one understands the Yin and Yang of
the body and also The Secret Door, one can make progress quickly and
progress towards the higher stages of cultivation. It is a pity though
that many only want to achieve stillness, without understanding how it
works. When Yang reaches its extreme, it turns into Yin. When Yin
reaches its extreme, it turns into young. Or simple understood that when
one moves enough and gets tired, one will stop and rest. When one has
rested enough, one will get up and move.
