《自律養生實踐家之旅327》 不缺,也不擔心
熟悉我的斷食學習者都知道,我的養生啟蒙,來自那一整週未進食的經驗。真正撼動我的,不只是身體強烈的反應,而是它所帶來的深層回饋。
最讓我覺醒的,不是身體本身的變化,而是當我凝視每一位坐在我面前的學員時,忽然發現,我與他們之間的立場不同。原來在那一連串領悟發生之前,我早已更換了「視窗」。
就在同一個階段,身體的視窗與靈性的視窗同時展開,逐步校正我過往混沌的腳步。深刻體會到:世界成為人類的迷宮,是一場必經的旅程。
上蒼透過一再重複的事件,提醒我遠離富裕的迷思。訊息的主旨是:「只要你有錢,你就會迷路。」熱愛思考的我,將這份領悟不斷輸送進潛意識:「不缺,是最大的幸福。」
當我漸漸理清身體的邏輯與脈絡,那份喜悅也隨之升級。何時該讀什麼書,似乎都有一股冥冥中的力量指引著我,既是身體的帶領,也是靈性的召喚。
曾聽一位同修說「有一種幸福,叫做不擔心」,這句話賦予我長遠的祝福。我確實明白,只要不缺,就不會遺憾;沒有遺憾,自然不會擔心。
我曾記錄過一位富人的故事,那是他晚年時說出的真實遺憾,類似的故事其實俯拾皆是,只是多數人還未走到呼天搶地的那一刻。
為什麼要不斷談論富人的劇本?因為這個世界上,太多人夢想成為富人。
嘴上說健康重要,內心卻將「有錢」視為人生的終極目標。
深入探究這些夢想背後的邏輯,有趣的是,它們共同指向一個普世的潛意識信念:
「只要我有錢,沒有什麼事解決不了。」
然而,這與我所見的富人故事大相逕庭。那是活生生的求救,是淚眼哀求的聲音:
「我什麼都不要,只求把健康還給我。」
我們也習慣將成就與財富劃上等號,成就看事業規模,財富看銀行餘額。但身體的視角、靈性的眼光,從來都不是如此評價人生。
有一種行業,表面上與「健康」相關,卻販售的是遙不可及的高價療程。踏入這類場所,翻開價目表的那一刻,人們感受到的不是希望,而是沮喪與羞愧。不是覺得自己不夠努力,就是懊悔自己賺錢的能力太差。
「不足感」的確能催生動力,許多成功的企業家都曾歷經貧困童年,但當人生的焦點只剩下事業與財富,健康往往會被狠狠犧牲。
無論在演藝圈、政壇、商界多麼風光,在醫療面前都顯得渺小。最終,還是要面對「名醫、金錢、療效」這三者之間的權衡與賭注。
這不禁令人反思:「養生市場,真的非得高端化不可嗎?」那些動輒數萬的課程與療程,真的是健康的唯一通道嗎?
對我而言,答案是否定的。事實上,真正的養生核心價值,往往連富人都未必看得上。
富人的視野確實不同,有無數書籍教我們學習富人思維。但富人思維就是普世真理嗎?我們真的要無條件照單全收?
從身體出發,我明白:平民養生,才是真正的王道。
身體的智慧人人具備,不需要特殊飲食法,不需要富人專屬的方式。我們每人都內建一套與生俱來的養生法則,根本無須外求。
人生有三分之一的時間在睡眠,那是不需花錢的養生黃金段落。這三分之一若能守住,就能撐起其餘的三分之二。而人們失去健康,往往正是從失守那三分之一開始。
睡眠不足、睡眠障礙,不是疾病造成的,而是「缺乏感」入侵了我們自然的節奏。
是來自物質世界的焦慮與貪婪,佔據了睡眠時間應有的平靜。
資源,本該散佈在大自然;天賦,早已安置於我們的身體。是比較心、競爭心讓我們自覺不足,是貪婪與傲慢讓我們遺失最原始的自由。
我們怎麼從豐盛走向貧乏?因為我們貪圖擁有,因為我們不懂知足,因為我們讓商人掌控了我們的身體。
人要愛自己,人要懂得養生。養生,必須尊重身體的立場與主體性,與疾病無關,與財富無關。
不論你有沒有錢,是不是病人,每個人都能學會與自己身體對話。
體會大自然的豐盛,你就知道什麼是「不缺」;感受身體的力量,你就明白何謂「不擔心」。
只說不做,是虛假;光說不練,永遠無法安心。
人生,是一條上坡路,不進則退。唯有向上,才不會隨波逐流;唯有內省,才能真正自由。
(富裕是一種生活方式與思維方式,而不僅僅是金錢或物質的多寡。貧窮也是一種生活方式與思維方式,而不只是缺乏金錢或物質。)
Abundance, Not Anxiety
Those familiar with my fasting teachings know that my initiation into holistic health began with a full week of not eating. What truly moved me wasn’t just the body’s intense response, but the profound feedback it offered.
What awakened me most wasn’t merely the transformation within my body, but the moment I looked into the eyes of each student sitting before me and realized—we were standing in different places. Before all those layers of insight unfolded, I had already changed my “window of perception.”
At that very stage, both the physical and spiritual lenses of perception opened simultaneously, gradually correcting the muddled steps I had taken in life. It became clear to me: the fact that the world feels like a maze to humanity is not an accident, but an inevitable part of the journey.
Through recurring events, the universe kept reminding me to steer away from the illusion of affluence. The core message: “As long as you chase wealth, you will lose your way.”
A thinker by nature, I embedded that insight deep into my subconscious:
“To lack nothing is the greatest form of abundance.”
As I began to untangle the logic and rhythms of the body, I also found myself ascending into greater joy. What to read and when to read it—there seemed to be a mysterious guidance at work. It was the body leading me, but also the soul whispering to me.
A fellow seeker once shared a phrase I never forgot:
“There is a kind of happiness that comes from not worrying.”
I’ve come to understand this deeply:
When nothing is lacking, there is no regret; without regret, there is no need to worry.

I once documented the story of a wealthy man and the raw sorrow he expressed in his later years. Stories like his are everywhere—you don’t have to look far. Most people just haven’t reached the point of desperation yet.
Why do I keep reflecting on the stories of the rich?
Because so many people in this world still dream of becoming one.
Though they say health is important, their hearts have long crowned “wealth” as life’s ultimate goal.
Digging deeper into the psychology behind such dreams, you’ll find a shared subconscious belief:
“As long as I have money, nothing can stop me.”
But the truth I’ve witnessed is quite the opposite. What I’ve seen is desperation—tearful, helpless cries:
“I don’t want anything else—just give me back my health.”
We’ve also been conditioned to equate achievement with wealth. Success is measured by the size of one’s empire; wealth, by bank account balance.
Yet, through the lens of the body and the eyes of the soul, life has never been, and never should be, judged this way.

There’s a type of industry that claims to be about “health,” but in reality sells unreachable, high-end treatments. The moment an average person walks in and opens the price list, what they feel isn’t hope—it’s shame and discouragement.
They don’t think: “I’m not trying hard enough.”
They think: “I’ll never be capable enough to afford this.”
Sure, a sense of “lack” can fuel ambition. Many successful entrepreneurs came from humble beginnings.
But when life’s focus narrows solely to business and wealth, health is often the first thing sacrificed.
No matter how dazzling one’s fame in the entertainment world, politics, or business—before the face of medicine, all seem small.
Eventually, it all comes down to a gamble between: the renowned doctor, the financial cost, and the promised outcome.
This brings me to a question worth pondering:
Must the wellness industry always be upscale?
Are those five-figure programs and treatments really the only gateway to health?
To me, the answer is a resounding no.
In fact, the core value of true wellness is often overlooked—even by the wealthy themselves.
—
Yes, the perspective of the wealthy is different. Countless books teach us to emulate their mindset.
But is the “wealth mindset” universal truth? Must we blindly accept it?
What I’ve learned—starting from the body—is this:
Grassroots wellness is the true path.
Everyone is born with the wisdom of their body. We don’t need elite diets or exclusive methods.
We each carry an innate blueprint for health. There’s no need to seek it elsewhere.
We spend one-third of our lives sleeping—a free, golden window of natural restoration.
If we can preserve that third, it becomes the foundation for sustaining the remaining two-thirds.
And yet, the loss of health often begins precisely with the loss of sleep.
Sleep deprivation and sleep disorders aren’t caused by illness;
They’re symptoms of a deeper disturbance—the invasion of “lack.”
That void is not physical.
It’s the anxiety and greed of the material world, encroaching on the peace we should be claiming in our rest.
Resources were meant to be scattered in nature.
Our talents were placed within us from birth.
It is competition and comparison that cultivate feelings of insufficiency.
It is greed and arrogance that make us lose our original freedom.
How did we fall from abundance into scarcity?
The answer is simple:
Because we crave possession.
Because we don’t know contentment.
Because we allowed the marketplace to hijack our bodies.
—
We must love ourselves.
We must learn how to live well.
And wellness must begin with honoring the perspective and sovereignty of the body.
It has nothing to do with disease.
It has nothing to do with wealth.
Whether you’re rich or poor, healthy or ill—everyone can learn to dialogue with their body.
Feel the richness of nature, and you’ll know what it means to lack nothing.
Feel the strength of your own body, and you’ll know what it means to live without fear.
To speak but not act is to pretend.
To preach but not practice is to remain forever unsettled.
Life is a path that ascends.
To stop moving is to fall.
Only by rising can we avoid drifting.
Only by turning inward can we truly be free.
