TRATAKAM YOGA： 「心智投射（Mental Beaming）」(TRATAKAM YOGA: "MENTAL BEAMING" )

 

TRATAKAM YOGA：

「心智投射（Mental Beaming）」
意識，而非人格

Tratakam（凝視法），又稱為「Guru Yoga（上師瑜伽）」，是一種古老的瑜伽修持方式。它是透過凝視一張特殊的照片來進行冥想。這種方法能夠使心智藉由想像力的創造力量，將意識投射至無限。練習時，保持眼睛張開，直接凝視照片中眼睛裡的光，並將全部的專注力集中在眼睛上。你所冥想的，不是這位 Mahan Tantric（偉大譚崔大師） 的人格，而是透過這雙「靈魂之窗」所顯現出的意識（Consciousness）。這張特定的照片具有一種中性（neutrality）的直視目光，它超越了人格。

將照片放置在距離自己約三至六英尺（ 約90公分至180公分 ）的位置。在照片前放置一至兩支蠟燭，使照片能夠清楚看見，其餘房間則保持黑暗。坐姿保持脊椎挺直。頭部應該覆蓋頭巾。先唱誦 「Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo」，並告訴自己的心：更高的自我將引導我穿越個體性的海洋，進入宇宙自我的平靜之中。 要知道，在所有事情上，你都將獲得指引。接著睜大雙眼，與照片中的眼睛四目相對。微微向上提起下眼瞼。你會感覺自己不再需要眨眼。讓身體完全靜止。呼吸會自然變得越來越輕、越來越細微。凝視照片眼中的光，並在心智中穿越這張照片，前往那道光的源頭。

持續這個冥想15分鐘或更久。不久之後，照片甚至可能開始對你說話！這是一種自我療癒的冥想，並能幫助你接觸自己內在更高層次的指引。

建議將照片裱框，使臉部周圍環繞橘色。進行 Tratakam 冥想時，也可以在心中默默聆聽 SA TA NA MA 的 Shabd（神聖音流）。

他是我們的靈性老師。

TRATAKAM YOGA: "MENTAL BEAMING" Consciousness, Not Personality There is an ancient form of yoga called Tratakam, or "Guru Yoga". It involves meditation on a special type of photograph'. It gives the mind the ability to project to infinity through the creative power of the imagina-tion. You sit with eyes open and gaze directly into the light in the eyes in the photo-graph?, keeping your concentration totally focused on the eyes. What you are meditating on is the Consciousness of the MahanTantric, seen through the "windows of the soul". You are not meditating on him as a person. This par-ticular photo has the direct stare of neu-trality, it goes beyond personality. Set the photo about three to six feet away from you. Put one or two candles in front of it so the picture is clear. The rest of the room should be dark. Sit with your spine straight. Your head should be covered. Tune in with "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo" and tell your mind that the higher self will guide you across the ocean of individuality into the peace of the cosmic self. Know that you will receive guidance in all matters. Then open your eyes wide to look eye into eye at the picture. Draw up the lower eyelid slightly. You will feel like you do not need to blink anymore. Completely still the body. The breath will automatically become lighter and lighter. Look at the light in the eyes of the photo and travel mentally through the picture to the source of that light. Continue this meditation for 15 minutes or longer. Soon the picture may talk to you! This is a self-heal-ing meditation and enables you to contact your own inner higher guidance. It is suggested to mount the photograph so that the face is surrounded by the color or-ange. You can mentally listen to the SA TA NA MA shabd while doing the Tratakam meditation. To obtain the complete detailed instructions for Tratakam Yoga, (including meditation on light) and to order the full size 8-1/2" x 11" glossy meditation photo, contact KIT (see p. 17 for address).
