"all ailments - from the head" - the Old Believers are convinced. Wise advice of the Old Believers

Today we publish some idioms, the wisdom of the Old Believers of Altai (based on the works of Kuchuganova Raisa Pavlovna):

"Do not renounce the bag and the prison." It looks completely new, although only one prefix has been replaced in the modern sound, and the word "renounce" has become "renounce". But the meaning of the Old Believer expression is completely different ...

"Whoever groans, he persecutes God." The Old Believers preserved the tradition not to complain about fate and not to moan in vain, to maintain firmness of spirit and trust in the guardians.

"You do not see off a person, but an Angel." It was said when they saw off the guests. At the same time, it was customary to see off with a kind word and to the very gates, expressing maximum respect for the guest.

"Where it is clean, there are a hundred angels, and where it is dirty, there is not a single one." Beauty in purity. This applies to cleanliness in the house, and the purity of the body, and the purity of thoughts, and the purity of the Spirit and everything else. And faith in the Angels and in the forces of Good helped to overcome the temptations and difficulties of life.

1. Learn to see all living things around and enjoy everything - grass, trees, birds, animals, earth, sky. Look at them with kind eyes and with an attentive heart - and such knowledge will be revealed to you that you will not find in books. And you will see yourself in them - tamed and renewed.

2. Make it a custom to stand barefoot on the ground for at least a few minutes at any time. Give the body the ground before she calls him herself.

3. Look for an opportunity to be near the water. It will relieve fatigue, clear thoughts.

4. Drink clean water wherever possible, without waiting for thirst. This is the first medicine. Where fate did not lead me, I first looked for a well, a source. Do not drink sweet and salty (mineral) bottled water. The first will corrode the liver, the second will wall up the vessels.

5. There should be vegetables on your table every day. Nutritious are those vegetables that are warmed and filled with the sun. In the first place - beets, not on earth the best food. Then - beans, pumpkin, berries, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, spinach, lettuce, apples, grapes, plums.

6. Meat, if you want, you can eat. But rarely. DO NOT EAT pork, she sent not one person to the next world. But a thin slice of fat will do the trick. But don't smoke it. Why use resin...

7. Bad food - sausage, fried potatoes, cookies, sweets, canned food, marinades. My food is cereals, beans, greens. Predator ate meat - barely crawling, lazy. And the horse pulls from oats all day long. The locust feeds on grass because of the power it has to fly.

8. It is better to eat a handful, but often. To eat less, I drink a lot of water and compotes, eat roughage and raw vegetables. From Thursday evening to Friday evening I do not eat anything, I only drink water.

9. Fasting is the greatest grace. Nothing strengthens and rejuvenates me like fasting. The bones become light, like those of a bird. And the heart is cheerful, like a guy's. With every major post, I get a few years younger.

10. The sun rises and sets - for you. Work is argued after sunrise. Get used to it and you will be strong in body and healthy in spirit. And the brain rests better and brightens in the evening sleep. This is what monks and warriors do. And they have the power to serve.

11. It is good to take a nap for half an hour on your back in the middle of the day so that the blood refreshes your head and face. It is bad to sleep after eating, because then the blood becomes thick and fat settles on the vessels.

12. Sit less, but sleep enough.

13. Try to be outdoors more. Train yourself to live in a cool room. It is enough that the legs and arms are warm, but the head is cool. The body withers and ages from the heat. In Ussuriysk forests I knew an old Chinese who always went around in wadded clothes, but almost never heated in a hut.

14. Strengthen the weak, frozen body with herbs. A handful of herbs, berries, leaves, branches of currants, raspberries, strawberries, steam with boiling water and drink all day. In winter, you will benefit greatly from this.

15. Don't forget the nuts. A nut is like our brain. It has power for the brain. It is good to consume a teaspoon of nut butter daily.

16. Be kind and considerate with people. From each of them, even empty ones, you can learn something. Make no enemies or friends out of people. And then you won't get any trouble from them.

17. What is destined for you will be given. Just learn to wait patiently. That which you should not have, and should not wait. Let the soul be light.

18. Do not believe in prejudices, astrologers, do not resort to divination. Keep your soul and heart pure.

19. When the soul is bad, you have to walk a lot. Better field, forest, over water. The water will carry your sadness. But remember: the best medicine for body and soul is fasting, prayer and physical work.

20. Move more. A stone that rolls does NOT grow moss. Troubles keep us on the ground. Don't shy away from them, but don't let them dominate you either. Never be afraid to start learning a new business - you will renew yourself.

21. I have never been to a resort, nor have I been in bed on a Sunday. My vacation is a change of occupation. The nerves rest when the hands are working. The body gains strength when the head works.

22. Do not ask for little. Ask big. And you'll get smaller.

23. Do not be cunning to take advantage of everything, but try to be useful yourself. The vine that does not bear will soon wither.

24. Do not be a scoff and a mockingbird, but be cheerful.

25. Don't overeat! A hungry beast is more cunning and quicker than a well-fed man. With a handful of dates and a mug of wine, the Roman legionnaires ran 20 kilometers in full ammunition, crashed into enemy ranks and fought for half a day without a break ... And the Roman Empire fell from satiety and debauchery of the patricians.

26. After dinner, I walk around the garden for another half an hour.

27. When you eat, do not drink it down. Do not drink before or after meals.

28. In order not to go to hospitals and pharmacies with your child, give him into the hands of Nature. From an early age, teach to walk on the ground barefoot. This is the strongest hardening. A child burned in the sun - it will benefit, a wasp or an ant stung - also good, stung by a nettle, bathed in cool water, scratched with a thorn, ate a carrion in the garden - it means that he was hardened from ailments, became stronger in body, stronger in spirit.

29. When you cut vegetables with a knife, they partially lose their earthly strength. It is better to eat them and cook them whole. Onions are twice as useful if crushed with your hands or with a wooden plank.

30. It is not necessary to drink store-bought tea. For me, the best tea leaves are from young pear branches. This tea is very fragrant and medicinal. Removes salt and excess water, relieves pain and inflammation of the joints. And coffee, tea, sweet drinks, beer undermine the heart.

The amazing principle of self-treatment of some Old Believer Slavs, with whom I (the source of the article is indicated at the end of this article) at one time had the opportunity to communicate, is striking in its simplicity and effectiveness at the same time.

not without reason simple designs are the most durable. This principle contains only three points. If you really want to understand the algorithm and individuality, then I ask you to turn on all your attention and delve into what is written below. So, let's start with the backstory.

To begin with, I will clarify the definition of the Old Believers as such. In this context, it is not the Old Believers who fled from Nikon's reform in the 17th century, but the so-called animists. Figuratively speaking, worshiping the forces of nature. Their way of life was completely based on proximity to the surrounding phenomena and living creatures. Even before cutting down the tree, the man apologized to him. This may seem strange to a modern layman who is not familiar with the concept of "force" (energy) and has no idea about its course and nature. But this is a separate topic that requires an independent explanation. Now just try to understand the peculiarity of the thinking of a person of that time and his motives for actions.

Now closer to the point. Having the good fortune to communicate with an aged lumberjack, I managed to find out from him a simple secret of curing diseases. And it consists in three steps. Let's start in order and with a description:

1. Analysis of your thoughts and actions. First of all, they (Old Believers) strain their memory and remember where they could attract negativity. That is, they thought badly of someone, acted insincerely. Or it may be that they were simply too lazy, which is categorically not recommended in the community. If you describe the item in two words, then “God punished” will come out. And, if the reason is found, then the sick person apologizes to those with whom he did not do well, and makes amends with good deeds. This man said that if the disease is of a spiritual nature, then most often such introspection is quite enough and in a day or two the person feels great. If it does not help, then the disease has another source. This is the next paragraph.

WHAT IS SUFFERING, ILLNESS, DEBTS AND OTHER "UNPLEASANT SITUATIONS" FOR IN HUMAN LIFE?

THE MAIN DEEP CAUSE OF ALL DISEASE AND AGING IS EGO:

HOW TO GET RID OF ALL DISEASES (a selection of videos about the psycho-emotional causes of diseases and a universal, simple algorithm for healing from diseases):

UNIVERSAL ALGORITHM (SYSTEM) FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS (with health, relationships, money, etc.):

2. Fasting and meditation. If the sick person took something superfluous from nature, then the disease most likely began because of this. A more understandable word for modern man there will be "gluttony". This list item is based on the understanding that, having taken something from nature in excess of what is needed, a person thereby frankly is greedy and wastes resources (plants, animals, forces), thereby violating the natural balance. It is hard to realize this for someone who lives in a consumer society and does not understand how you can take something beyond measure, if more is better. And in order to restore the balance of interaction between personal and natural forces, the ill person fasts. And both in nutrition and in thoughts. While practicing meditation. Yes, they meditate not only in the east, but few people know about it. The fact is that after immersion in oneself, thoughts come to consciousness that lead to recovery. It is impossible to understand, you can only experience it for yourself.

This is how the Slavs-Old Believers are treated to this day. They live together in community. At the same time, for a long time, some overcome the milestone of a hundred years. Because they know about the dangers of oversaturation and do not run to dubious doctors for even more dubious medicines. They treat each other like family and put morality above all else. For health begins with the head.

Last year, fate brought me to Lake Baikal from Buryatia. I am a hydrographer and we worked on the Barguzin River. Almost untouched the purest air, good ones simple people- everything was enthralling. But most of all I was struck by the Semey settlements there. At first we could not understand what it was. Then they explained to us that they were Old Believers.


Semeyskie live in separate villages, they have very strict customs. To this day, women still wear sundresses to their heels, and men wear blouses. These are very calm and benevolent people, but they behave in such a way that you can’t go to them once again. They just won't talk, we've never seen anything like that. These are very hardworking people, they never sit idle. At first it was somehow annoying, then we got used to it. And later we noticed that they are all healthy and beautiful, even old people. Our work took place just on the territory of their village, and in order to disturb the inhabitants as little as possible, we were given one grandfather, Vasily Stepanovich, to help us. He helped us take measurements - very convenient for us and the residents. For a month and a half of work, we became friends with him, and my grandfather told us a lot of interesting things, and showed us too.
