Hexagram Fifty-Two/Line Three

Keeping his hips still.
Making his sacrum stiff.
Dangerous. The heart suffocates.

Buddha's meditation

This refers to enforced quiet. The restless heart is to be subdued by forcible means. But fire when it is smothered changes into acrid smoke that suffocates as it spreads.
