朱砂为什么能辟邪

朱砂能辟邪是因为邪生于阴、存于阴、发于阴,人受于阴则会阴阳失去平衡,就会存阴、受阴、生邪,不能正道。而朱砂在中医、道教中称之为极阳之物,具有平衡阴阳气场之功能,人需阴阳平衡才能得以健康长寿、悠闲自得。且我国中医很早就发现, 朱砂有特殊的镇静、催眠、抗惊厥的作用。所以, 在传统中医药的方剂中, 医治这类疾病, 首选的药物就是朱砂。这应该就是民间用朱砂 “辟邪” 的缘由所在。

朱砂的风水作用

在风水学中,朱砂是经由日月精华的矿脉中采集,因吸收天地之正气,所以带有极强的磁场。不同于玉石、天珠握在手里是冰凉的感觉,握在手心里是温暖的,也就是说朱砂是带有极强阳气的磁场,凡道家、仙佛用于开光、辟邪、镇煞等都非用朱砂不可,世人一直将其当成是开运、镇煞、祈福纳财的上上之极品。由于朱砂属于六晶系矿脉, 采集过程极为不易, 提炼成纯矿更是困难重重, 因而铸炼成立体佛像则更属上乘极品, 因此朱砂饰品是镇宅、避煞、开运、祈福纳财的吉祥物之一。
