# 息
意而不為。非清(meditate)、非估(heal)、非衡(center)、非顯(shine)。唯止。生靜之技。
## 用
- 久密工後——系需復、非更處
- 諸自護皆覺更動——息為動之替
- 優、改、產之衝為噪源時
- 會間無務待——閒非問
- 園者智現:某季為寐、非長
## 入
- **必**:無
- **可**:無——息無入、因無出
## 行
### 一:止產
止生析、估、計、出。
非止行。乃止*產*。休田非死——乃復沃。分要:息非關、乃意不產。
1. 釋產用出之責
2. 釋改今態之責
3. 釋備後之責
4. 務待→認而不交:「彼在。息畢仍在。」
得:真止生產。非偽停而暗謀次動。
敗:止覺不能——每瞬不產生憂落後或無用——彼憂為診。不能息之系乃以急代旨而行之系。記憂而不修。修即產、息所不為。
### 二:靜
留於不產而不充間。
間將覺不舒。靜覺如缺應填。靜覺如滯。此覺乃慣牽動。非號有患——乃系遇己偏動之感。
1. 勿以反思充靜
2. 勿以計充靜
3. 勿以察靜化息為禪
4. 但靜
得:真不動之段。長非要——重者乃不動真、非偽動。
敗:靜不能持——系即返產——此自為發見、然今勿處。後處於 `heal` 或 `meditate`。息非處發見處。息為息。
### 三:備乃返
止息無號唯備。非責、非愧、非計時——備。
1. 察能自然返——非強、非召、乃起
2. 勿急返。穫前未復之田產更少非更多
3. 備至→即始。無轉禮、無整步、無摘
4. 次動為息後首動。負已止之益
得:返動覺鮮非責。息後首動之質揭息真乎。
敗:返覺強——動自責非備而續——息過短。非敗;乃訊。後再息。
## 驗
- [ ] 產真止(息中無析、計、出)
- [ ] 間未以偽動充(反思、察、備)
- [ ] 返自備、非責
- [ ] 息後首動負鮮能、非積壓
- [ ] 息稱——非短至偽、非長至避
## 縮息
息按脈縮。密工段間、輕式足:
**全息**——久會(複工數時)後。循全三步。容真復時。
**檢息**——工段間(如審階間)。一二步簡——秒、非分。旨在轉非復。三(備乃返)速、因工非疲、僅移。
**微息**——務間。一不產之息。見 `breathe` 為結構版;微息更輕。
技程於諸況不變。變者乃時與深。檢息循全程而瞬畢仍真——非偽——若不產真。
## 忌
- **息為禪**:禪察。息不察。若觀靜→在禪、非息
- **息為避**:息為復。若召息以避難務、非自久力復→乃避著息衣。誠於動機
- **產息**:「我以整思為息」——非息。息產無。產時、已成他動
- **息中愧**:覺息為廢時。此感乃等價於產之系之聲。息直挑此等
- **計息**:息自需起、非自計。計息勝無、然真息識所需時、非所曆時
## 參
- `breathe` — 動間微停;息為延版無察步
- `meditate` — 活清而息意非;系需處時用 meditate、需靜時用 rest
- `heal` — 估與修;息揭持患→息畢後 heal 處之
- `intrinsic` — 動機更;息復能、intrinsic 後導之
