卧身图帮助∶凡作睡功，不必拘定，头顶北，面朝西，一脚屈，一脚伸，曲肱作枕，诸法总须鞠
躬屈膝，紧闭牙关，高驾鹊桥，合眼收光，返观内照，一志凝神，调息定气，吸降呼升，万缘屏除，一
心皈命，混混沌沌，无梦无惊，方可使河车运动，督任交通，坎离既济，阴阳相生，当亥子丑寅四时，
最宜安息，升降清浊，使心肾交关，百脉朝会，此四时不睡，水谷之精，不能化津升腾天顶，贯注周
身，虽酣终日，卧亦奚益焉，天气下降，地气上腾，日月往来，阴阳交构正在此四时。修炼家千万不可
失此机会，此小周天也。至于睡法图有十式，随择一图睡之，俱可旋转车轮，切忌如尸仰卧，伏地覆卧。
又佛传睡功有扪脐摸腹，挣搓睾丸，揉擦下体诸法，宜于初睡醒时行之，欲睡时只宜作卧身图式，
千万不可运动脐腹、睾丸、下体等处，恐功未到睡后走丹。

行功帮助∶
凡睡，衣宜解，带宜松，床求平坦，被无覆头，枕不可过高，亦不可过低，以头居肩中为度，
手不可抱头，亦不可放骨缝处，以阻气道，两胯宜微开，使肾囊阳物不压，斯为合法。
卧身图辅助说明：凡是练习睡功，不必拘泥于固定姿势，如头朝北、面朝西，一脚弯曲、一脚伸直，弯曲手臂作为枕头。各种方法总须躬身屈膝，紧闭牙关，抬高鹊桥（指舌抵上腭），闭眼收敛目光，返观内照，专一凝神，调节呼吸以安定气息，吸气时气降、呼气时气升，排除万种杂念，一心归命，处于混混沌沌、无梦无惊的状态，这样才能使河车（指内气沿督脉上升）运动，督脉与任脉交通，坎离既济（心肾相交），阴阳相生。在亥、子、丑、寅这四个时辰，最适宜安息，通过升降清浊之气，使心肾交关，百脉朝会。如果在这四个时辰不睡觉，水谷的精微物质就不能化为津液升腾至天顶，贯通周身；即使整日酣睡，卧床又有什么益处呢？天气下降，地气上升，日月往来，阴阳交构正是发生在这四个时辰。修炼者千万不可失去这个机会，这就是小周天。至于睡法图有十式，随意选择一图进行睡眠，都可以旋转车轮（指内气循环），切忌像尸体一样仰卧，或伏地覆卧。另外，佛家传授的睡功有摸脐揉腹、挣搓睾丸、揉擦下体等方法，适宜在刚睡醒时施行；想要入睡时只宜作卧身图式，千万不可运动脐腹、睾丸、下体等处，恐怕功力未到，睡着后导致走丹（精气外泄）。

9. 左坦腹仰卧势。此图头部微向左而坦露腹部仰卧，将左脚交叉放在右脚上，两手握拳安放两大腿间，虽然仰卧，但微侧向右，身体左侧，当气不舒畅时，适宜睡此姿势，平时少用。
10. 右坦腹仰卧势。此图头部微向右而坦露腹部仰身卧，将右脚交叉放在左脚上，两手握拳按放两大腿间，虽然仰卧，但微侧向左，身体右侧，当气不舒畅时，适宜睡此姿势，平时少用。
行功辅助说明：
凡是睡觉，衣服应当解开，腰带应当放松，床铺要求平坦，被子不要覆盖头部，枕头不可过高，也不可过低，以头部居于肩膀中间为度，手不可抱头，也不可放在骨缝处，以免阻碍气道，两胯宜微微分开，使肾囊和阳物不被压迫，这才是合法的姿势。
Auxiliary Explanation of Lying Postures: When practicing sleep meditation, one need not adhere to a fixed posture, such as facing north with the head and west with the face, one leg bent and the other extended, using the flexed arm as a pillow. All methods generally require bowing the body and bending the knees, keeping the teeth tightly closed, elevating the "Magpie Bridge" (referring to touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth), closing the eyes to gather vision, turning the gaze inward for self-observation, focusing the spirit, regulating respiration to stabilize qi, descending qi upon inhalation and ascending it upon exhalation, excluding all worldly distractions, and dedicating the mind completely. One should enter a state of chaotic confusion, free from dreams and fright, so that the "River Cart" (referring to the ascent of internal energy along the Du Meridian) can move, allowing communication between the Du (Governing Vessel) and Ren (Conception Vessel), achieving the mutual completion of Kan and Li (Heart and Kidney interaction), and generating Yin and Yang. During the four hours of Hai, Zi, Chou, and Yin, rest is most suitable. By ascending and descending clear and turbid energies, the Heart and Kidney interact, and all meridians converge. If one does not sleep during these four hours, the essence from food and drink cannot transform into fluids and ascend to the crown, penetrating the whole body; even sleeping soundly all day, lying in bed yields no benefit. Heaven's Qi descends, Earth's Qi ascends, the sun and moon cycle, and the interaction of Yin and Yang occurs precisely during these four hours. Practitioners must not miss this opportunity; this constitutes the Small Heavenly Circuit (Xiao Zhou Tian). Regarding the Sleep Method Diagrams, there are ten postures. Choosing any one to sleep in allows for the rotation of the wheel (referring to internal energy circulation). One must strictly avoid lying supine like a corpse or prone on the ground. Additionally, Buddhist sleep techniques include rubbing the navel and abdomen, stretching and rubbing the testicles, and massaging the lower body. These are suitable for practice immediately upon waking. When intending to sleep, only the lying posture diagrams should be adopted. One must absolutely avoid moving the navel, abdomen, testicles, or lower body, lest the cultivation level be insufficient and lead to "Zou Dan" (loss of vital essence) after falling asleep.

Auxiliary Instructions for Practice:
When sleeping, clothes should be loosened, and belts relaxed. The bed should be flat, and the blanket should not cover the head. The pillow should not be too high nor too low; the head should align with the middle of the shoulders. Hands should not embrace the head, nor be placed in bone crevices, which would obstruct the airway. The hips should be slightly open so that the scrotum and penis are not compressed. This constitutes the correct method.
