教你如何静坐冥想

  冥想和瑜伽类似,都是通过静坐的方式来清除杂和,梳理思绪,从而达到身心祥和之境。

  冥想一般是连续 10钟至 23个小时的打坐。其首要注意的是坐姿正确,初试者可坐在一个约8厘米高的座垫边沿,将注意力放在3尺外的地方,或者什么也不想,只关注呼吸的运动。冥想时要学会用肚腹呼吸,吸气时腹部胀起,呼气时腹部收缩。

  冥想时的着装也有讲究,最好穿着松软的衫裤,因为任何紧束的服饰都会令你在冥想时感到不适。静坐时,以自我暗示的方式令自己全身放松。每放松一个部 在,便幻想扔掉了心里的不安和焦虑。如此静坐10来分钟后,身体便不会再感绷紧和压力。若能多加练习,一段时间后,便可使心灵经常处子平静状态,思维会更 清晰,分析能力也会得到提高。

  经常冥想静坐能减轻生活的压力,增强身体抵御疾病的能力,缓解精神紧张,并对呼吸道、头痛、胃痛、神经系统等疾病有很好的改善作用。

  静坐冥想不难学会,你既无须念念有词,也无须意守丹田或者打莲花坐。其实,假如你曾不断祈祷,或曾长时间凝视某种东西(例如篝火或大海),你大概已经懂得静坐冥想的窍门了。

  如果你想正式地练习,要领很简单:

  1、以舒服的姿势坐定,传统的姿势是席地盘腿而坐,在臀下放一个圆形小软垫。假如觉得这样坐不舒服,还有许多其他姿势,比如仰卧,坐在自己的腿肚子上或直背椅子上等。

  2、挺直脊背,可以想象自己的头给一根绑在天花板上的绳子吊着。

  3、用鼻子深呼吸,让肺部充满空气,腹部和整个胸腔因而扩张。然后用鼻子或嘴缓缓呼气,到接近呼完就把腹肌收缩,将腹部所有气体排空。

  4选一样东西注视,比如烛光,花或图画。或者,(这时候可以借鉴瑜珈休息术中老师教过的,吸气的时候缓缓默念………………”呼气的时候轻声 缓缓念………………”)或者在每次呼气吸气的时候数数目,借此把注意力集中于自己的呼吸,缓缓吸气,数五下;在缓缓呼气,数五下,假如发觉自己开 始分心,要慢慢地将心思拉回来,重新集中于呼吸或你正在注视的物体上。

  开始时最好每天练习十分钟至一小时,不过专家说,即使只练习几分钟也有好处

KUNDALINI ENERGIES 昆达里尼能量

昆达里尼能量

(瑜伽教理中的)生命力(据认为蜷伏在尾椎部,当上升至脑时,即激发悟道)


Stretching back into the corridors of time, Asian religions have spoken of a mystical force called the 'Kundalini'. Throughout history many names have been given to this power. Orgone, esprit, loosh, prana, elan vital, and bio-electricity are some of these names.

回到时间隧道,亚洲宗教已经谈到称做“昆达里尼”的生命力。整个历史多次给这种力取了很多名字。生命力,才气,loosh,prana,热烈的生机和生物电就是这些名称的一部分。

The rise of the kundalini is linked with a warm liquidly magnetic energy when it rises up the spine. Physical symptoms connected to the opening of the kundalini may include crackling noises at the base of the neck, and unexplained headaches - but be careful about attributing these symbols to rising kundalini energies. Often they have a medical cause that needs the attention of a physician.

当昆达里尼由脊骨上升时候,它的升起和温暖流畅的磁能连接在一起,昆达里尼的开启与身体症状联系一起的包括脖子底部烤肉皮的噪音以及无法解释的头痛-但是小心将这些符号归于到昆达里尼能量上来。经常它们有医学原因需要医生的诊断。

Kundalini energies are sometimes triggered by a blow to the head or other physical trauma timed by your soul to awaken your psychic journey and innate abilities.

有时头部受打击或其它身体外伤昆达里尼能量同步被灵魂触发唤醒你的精神旅程和天生的能力。

Releasing the Kundalini energy too quickly can have serious emotional effects on a person. One should not attempt to open this thrust of energy if one is not in a balanced psychologically. This is not for those with manic depression or bi-polar disorder.

一个人释放昆达里尼能量太快可以有严重的情感影响。如果一个人心理上不平衡,他就不应该尝试打开这个能量推力。这不适合狂躁消沉或bi极混乱的那些人。

The manifestation of the Kundalini energy - frequency of vibration - links with the Sanskrit term 'Chaitanya' - the integrated force of your physiological, mental, emotional and religious bodies.

昆达里尼能量的显现-振动频率-与梵语‘Chaitanya’连接在一起-你生理、精神、情感和修道身体综合的力。


Kundalini literally means 'coiling,' like a snake. Energy and consciousness - moves in spiraling motion - coils - loops - the snake. This is a metaphor for the spiraling energies of consciousness - which is our reality of thought and is explained by Sacred Geometry the loops are the loops of time - the slinky effect - time as an illusion played out in a physical game of polarities - duality emotions.

昆达里尼字面意思就是‘盘绕’,像一条蛇。能量和意识-以螺旋运动感应-盘绕-环-蛇。这就是意识的螺旋能量的隐喻-意识是我们思想的实相被神圣几何学解释的环就是时间之环- slinky作用-时间是由极性的物理游戏扮演的幻想-二元情感。

In the classical literature of Hatha Yoga, kundalini is described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine.

在瑜珈气功古典文学里,昆达里尼被描绘成在脊骨底部盘绕的大蛇。


The coiled and dormant 'feminine' energy, refers to the vast potential of psychic energy contained within us all. It is normally symbolized as a serpent coiled into three and a half circles, with its tail in its mouth, and spiraling around the central axis (sacrum or sacred bone) at the base of the spine. The awakening of this serpent and the manifestation of its powers is a primary aim of the practice of Kundalini Yoga.

盘绕和沉睡的‘女性’能量,引用我们身体内部全部巨大的精神潜能。通常以盘绕三圈半的大蛇来象征,嘴里含着尾巴,而在脊骨底部盘绕在中央轴(骶骨或神骨)上。蛇的唤醒和她力量的显现是修习昆达里尼瑜珈主要的目标。

The image of coiling, like a spring, conveys the sense of untapped potential energy that will spring into action soon. For now we remember in small doses.

盘绕的图像,像一根弹簧,传递未打开的潜能感觉,潜能立刻以弹簧起作用。因为现在我们回忆起一部分。

Kundalini can be described as a great reservoir of creative energy at the base of the spine. It's not useful to sit with our consciousness fixed in our head and think of kundalini as a foreign force running up and down our spine.

昆达里尼可以被描绘成脊骨底部创造性能量的巨大储库。看做我们脊骨上下流动的外力暂时照看我们的被固定在头脑和昆达里尼思想意识没有用处。

The concept of kundalini can also be examined from a strictly psychological perspective. From this perspective kundalini can be thought of as a rich source of psychic or libidinous energy in our unconscious.

昆达里尼的概念也可以从严格的心理透视被检查。从这透视昆达里尼可以被认为是精神或我们无意识性欲能量的丰富来源。

In the classical literature of Kashmir Shaivism kundalini is described in three different manifestations.

在克什米尔Shaivism古典文学里,以三个不同的表现来描绘昆达里尼。

The first of these is as the universal energy or para-kundalini.

首先这些被看做普遍的能量或para-生命力。

The second of these is as the energizing function of the body-mind complex or prana-kundalini.

其次这些被看做身体头脑联合体或prana-生命力的强化功能。

The third of these is as consciousness or shakti-kundalini which simultaneously subsumes and intermediates between these two.

第三这些被看做同时包含和这两者之间媒介的意识或者shakti-生命力。

Ultimately these three forms are the same but understanding these three different forms will help to understand the different manifestations of kundalini.

基本上这三种形态是一样的,只是理解这三种不同的形态将有助于理解昆达里尼不同的表现。


This energy is also related to one's personal storehouse of ***ual energy. Kundalini takes ***ual energy in its raw form and converts it into fine spiritual energy of an extremely high frequency, which then allows the fruition and activation of paranormal activities such as good quality OBE's, telepathy, matter/energy conversion, and communication with entities that inhabit the vast areas of our multi-dimensional universe.

这能量也涉及一个人的性能量仓库。昆达里尼获得自然形态的性能量而将它转化为纯粹的非常高频率的精神能量,于是精神能量允许超正常行为例如好品质OBE、心灵感应、物质/能量转化与居住在我们多维宇宙广阔地方的实体沟通的实现和激活。
