This Man Lived to 256, These Are His Secrets

A Chinese herbalist named Li Ching-Yuen was believed to have lived for 256 years.

 

He was born in 1677 and died on the 6th May 1933.

 

From the young age of 10, Li Ching-Yuen worked with herbs and natural remedies, learning from the ancient wisdom passed down through generations.

 

He wandered through the mountains, collecting rare herbs and concocting potent elixirs that promised vitality and longevity.

 

He lived off herbs like Ginseng, Gotu Kola, Goji Berry and Reishi.

 

He supposedly produced over 200 descendants and had 24 wives throughout his lifetime.

 

Li was asked what his secret was to longevity.  This was his reply:  “Keep a quiet heart, sit like a tortoise, walk sprightly like a pigeon and sleep like a dog.”

 

This is how we understand it.

Keep a quiet heart

We often focus on negative thoughts, but the truth is we all have negative thoughts, the key is not to turn those negative thoughts into emotional stress. 

Sit like a tortoise

We are obsessed with time, and we are always running out of it.

 

More often than not we are rushed and stressed, constantly thinking about the next thing.

 

Sit quietly like a tortoise and do things in your own time. If you do things slower, you might just live longer, so you'll have more time anyway.

Walk sprightly like a pigeon

Having good posture has positive effects on depression, and helps us maintain higher levels of self-esteem and positivity when we are faced with stress.
