穿越時代的生存冥想（Meditation for Survival Through the Times）

 

穿越時代的生存冥想

Meditation for Survival Through the Times

這是我們曾經承諾提供給你們的五個冥想系列中的最後一個。這五個冥想是 Yogi Bhajan 特別給出的，目的是幫助整合因進入寶瓶年代（Aquarian Age）的轉變所帶來的種種變化。

冥想: 以 Mul Mantra 為冥想

• 使你的光圈之光（auric light）更加明亮

• 擁有一張充滿光芒的臉

• 防止自己老化

以簡易坐坐好，脊椎挺直。唱誦 Mul Mantra，在每一個段落之前深深吸氣：

Ek Ong Kar；Sat Naam；Kartaa Purkh（讓全部的氣透過鼻子呼出）；
Nirbhau；Nirvair；Akaal Moorat；Ajoonee；Saibhung；Gur Prasaad；Jap（讓全部的氣透過鼻子呼出）；Aad Suchshhh；Jugaad Suchshhh；Hai Bhee Suchshhh；Naanak Hosee Bhee Suchshhh。

每一次吸氣時，都必須吸到你最大的肺容量；而每一個段落，都必須用完整個呼吸。

在像 Akaal Moorat 這樣，聲音本身並沒有真正延長的字詞上，透過嘴巴將氣釋放出去，並帶著輕微的 「uhh」聲。在 Kartaa Purkh 和 Jap（Jap 與英文的 up 押韻）時，透過鼻子將氣釋放出去。這就是全部的祕密：最後四個段落結束時，都要透過嘴巴釋放呼吸，就像蛇發出嘶嘶聲一樣。每天至少唱誦 11 遍，持續 40 天。

由於每個人的肺容量都不同，因此這個冥想應該個別練習，而不是團體一起進行。

關於 Mul Mantra 的文字

這個強而有力的 Mantra，由 Guru Nanak（古魯・那納克）所說，是 《Japji Sahib》的開頭幾行。《Japji Sahib》是世界各地的錫克所誦念的晨間祈禱文。

它提供了一種完整、精簡而根本的生命取向。它濃縮了 Sikh Dharma（錫克正法）的哲學。

Mul Mantra 曾被描述為一個：

「命運的終結者。它移除既定的命運，並改變命運，使之走向完全的豐盛。」

（關於《Japji Sahib》中每一個 40 個 Pauri — 頌／詩節的力量，可以在 Psyche of the Soul 中找到更多資訊。）

EK ONG KAR

一位創造者創造了這個創造。

SAT NAM

真理是祂的名字（身分）。

KARTAA PURKH

祂是一切的行動者。

NIRBHAO

祂無所畏懼（因此）：

NIRVAIR

沒有報復，也沒有憤怒。

AKAAL MOORAT

不滅的形體（不死的）。

AJOONEE

未曾出生。

SAIBHUNG

自我照亮。

GUR PRASAAD

（這份領悟是）

Guru 給予我們的禮物。

JAP！

（這是整部 Siri Guru Granth Sahib 中唯一的命令。）

「重複誦念：」

AAD SUCH

在最初之時即為真實。

JUGAAD SUCH

貫穿所有年代皆為真實。

HAI BHEE SUCH

即使現在也是真實。

NANAK HOSEE BHEE SUCH

Nanak 說：真實將永遠存在。

Meditation for Survival Through the Times

This is the last in the series of five meditations we promised you that were given by Yogi Bhajan specifically to help integrate the changes brought by the transition into the Aquarian Age.

MEDITATION

ON THE MUL MANTRA

•   Brighten your auric light,
•   Have a Radiant face
•   Prevent Yourself From Aging.

Sit straight in easy pose. Chant the MUL MANTRA, inhaling deeply before each phrase:

Ek ong kar; Sat naam; Kartaa purkh (let the whole breath go out through the nose); Nirbhao; Nirvair;

Akaal moorat: Ajoonee; Saibhung; Gur prasaad; Jap (let whole breath go out through the nose); Aad suchshhh;

Jugaad suchshhh; Hai bhee suchshhh;

Naanak hosee bhee suchshh."

Each time you inhale you must do so to your maximum capacity and each phrase must use up the entire breath. On words like "Akaal moort", where the sound isn't really extended, release the breath through the mouth with a light "uhh" sound. On "Kartaa purkh" and "Jap" Jap rhymes with

"up"), release the breath through the nose. This is the whole secret: the last four phrases are ended with the breath released through the mouth like the sound of a hissing snake.

Chant for a minimum of 11 times a day for 40 days.

Since each person has a different lung capacity, this meditation should be done individually instead of in a group.

A word about the words in the Mul Mantra:

This powerful mantra spoken by Guru Nanak forms the opening lines of "Japji Sahib", the morning prayer recited by Sikhs all over the world. It provides a complete, concise and fundamental approach to life. It encapsulates the philosophy of Sikh Dharma.

The Mul Mantra has been described as a "fate killer. It removes the fate and changes the destiny to complete prosperity." (You can find more information about the power of each of the 40 pauris — verses - in Japji Sahib in the Psyche of the Soul.)

EK ONG KAR

One Creator created this creation

SAT NAM

Truth is His Name (identity)

KARTAA PURKH

He is the Doer of everything

NIRBHAO

He is fearless (and therefore):

NIRVAIR

Without vengeance or anger

AKAAL MOORAT

Undying form (deathless)

AJOONEE

Unborn

SAIBHUNG

Self-illumined

GUR PRASAAD (this realization is)

Guru's gift to us

JAP!

(The only command in the entire

Siri Guru Granth Sahib.)

"Repeat:"

AAD SUCH

True in the beginning

JUGAAD SUCH

True throughout all the ages

HAIBHEE SUCH

True even now

NANAK HOSEE BHEE SUCH

Nanak says Truth shall forever be.

你可以考慮的食物 (想要更有活力？)

 

想要更有活力？

那就少睡少吃。因為你吃的東西都需要消化，而人體有三分之一到百分之五十的能量都用來消化食物。

小小的事，瑜珈之道

晨間可以考慮：

* 薑茶和奧勒岡（牛至）茶

* 一杯檸檬汁（用水稀釋）。你需要新鮮的檸檬汁，但要用吸管喝，以免傷害琺瑯質。

* 充分咀嚼幾顆杏仁。

* 早上吃一根香蕉，有助於鉀鈣平衡。

* 如果你想明智地避免烈酒、葡萄酒和肉類，可以吃一湯匙葡萄乾 — 充分咀嚼。

* 為了增強內臟功能，取一茶匙荳蔻，用一杯牛奶煮沸後飲用。

* 心情不好？心情糟透了？喝一杯原味瑜伽茶。它能讓你精神煥發，因為它能立即作用於肝臟並增強免疫系統。

強化神經系統冥想（Strengthening the Nervous System ）

 

強化神經系統

「肌肉的力量源自於神經。神經的力量源自於耐力，而耐力的力量源自於你自身。 」— YB

以簡易坐姿坐好。雙手呈現以下手印：拇指與無名指（太陽指）和小指（水星指）相扣，食指和中指（木星指和土星指）併攏並指向正上方。

肘部彎曲，貼著肋骨。雙手與肩同高，距離身體約30公分（12吋）。掌心相對，並在整個動作過程中保持掌心相對。

透過「O」型口，快速吸氣三到四次。每次吸氣時，雙手同時向後擺動至肩膀。

吸氣過程中，雙手向後擺動三到四次，速度極快，大約一秒鐘完成。

透過口型快速吐氣，回到起始位置。這種快速的抖動是一種有意識地自我製造的緊張感，目的是平衡體內的能量。

持續11分鐘。

結束：吸氣，屏住呼吸 10-15 秒，保持這個姿勢，然後用力重複雙手抖動的動作，直到全身都顫抖起來。抖動時，帶動脊椎、肩膀和手臂一起運動。重複此動作兩次。

備註：練習此克里亞瑜珈兩分鐘後，動作會變得比較困難，但你必須繼續快速運動。

這種抖動可以讓你擁有一個全新的神經系統。當你感到疲憊時，正是克服想要放慢腳步的時候。保持節奏，堅持下去。如果經常正確地練習此克里亞瑜伽，它就能讓你擁有一個全新的神經系統。

「那些已經斷開連接、失去功能的神經會開始重新連接，找到新的通路。這就是呼吸的力量，整個系統都會顫抖。」- YB

Strengthening the Nervous System 

"The strength behind the muscles is the nerves.

The strength behind the nerves is the stamina, and the strength behind the stamina is you.

- YB

Sit in Easy Pose. Put each hand in this mudra: lock down the Mercury (pinky) finger and Sun (ring)finger with the thumb and keep the Jupiter and Saturn fingers index and middle fingers) together and pointing straight up.

The elbows are bent and rest against the rib cage. Your hands are at shoulder level about twelve inches from the body. The palms of the hands are facing each other and stay facing each other throughout the movement.

Inhale in three or four quick strokes through the "O" shaped mouth. With each stroke of the breath, jerk the hands back toward your shoulders. Both hands move at the same time.

The inhale portion, during which you jerk your hands back three or four times, is extremely fast. It should be completed in about one second.

Exhale through the mouth in one stroke and return to the starting position. This jerky motion is a self-created nervousness done consciously so that the energy in you can balance.

Continue for 11 Minutes

TO FINISH: Inhale, hold the breath for 10-15 seconds, stay in the position, and repeat the shaking movement of the hands so powerfully that the whole body shakes. Move your spine, shoul-ders, and arms with your shaking. Repeat this sequence two more times.

COMMENTS: After the first two minutes of this kriya the action becomes difficult, but you must continue to move quickly.

This jerk can give you a new nervous system. When you become tired, it is the time to overcome the urge to slow down. Keep the rhythm and fight it out. When practiced regularly and correctly, this kriya can give

you a new nervous system.

"The nerves that have disconnected themselves and are dead will start connecting and finding a pathway. That's the power of the breath, the whole system will be shaking." - YB
