【如何在家自然地排毒和淨化身體? 】(淨化五大元素)
Sadhguru gives us tips to cleanse each of the five elements within us, which when practiced regularly, can lead to a sense of rejuvenation and wellbeing within.
薩古魯給出了淨化內在五大元素的貼士,如果每天實踐這些貼士,就可以從內在獲得活力與幸福。
Sadhguru: Before you attempt anything that is considered as a mystical process, it is very important to stabilize the five fundamental elements within you. These are known as pancha bhutas or maha tatwas in the yogic science. The body, the very earth, the universe , and the cosmos, all are just a play of five elements. The body's composition is such that most of it is water. Then there is earth, air, fire, and the rest is akash or etheric space.
薩古魯:在你嘗試任何所謂的神秘修行之前,很重要的一點就是要穩定你內在的五大基本元素。這些元素在瑜伽科學裡被稱為Pancha Bhutas或Maha Tatwas。身體、大地、萬物和宇宙都不過是這五大元素的遊戲。身體的大部分是由水構成。此外還有土、風和火,最後是空(Akash)或以太空間。
How these five elements behave within you determines just about everything. Bhuta means element, bhuta shuddhi means to become free from the taint of elements or to cleanse the elements. It means to become free from the physical nature. Most human beings are completely in the grip of their physiological and psychological processes. Our physiology is something that we have accumulated. Likewise, the whole content of our psychological process has been accumulated in the form of impressions.
這五大元素如何在你內在運行將決定了一切。 Bhuta是指元素,Bhuta Shuddhi是指清除這些元素的污垢或淨化這些元素,使其脫離物理屬性。大多數人完全受到他們的生理和心理過程的控制。我們的生理機能是我們所累積的。同樣,我們的心理過程的全部內容也是以印記的形式堆積而來。
Between these two processes, who you are existentially, the nature of your being, is completely missed. If you want to access dimensions that are not yet in your experience, dimensions that are considered mystical, the first thing that you need to do is to start cleansing the five elements within you. When the elements are pure, you distinctly know the difference between what is physical, what is psychological, and what is existential.
在生理和心理的過程中,你的存在本質被完全錯失了。如果你想觸及你還未曾體驗的神秘維度,你需要做的第一件事就是開始淨化你內在的五大元素。當這些元素變得純淨時,你會清楚地了解身體、心理與存在之間的區別。
Tips to Cleanse the Five Elements
淨化五大元素的貼士
Water 水
Among the five elements, water has the greatest significance because a major percentage of the body is water. You need to take sufficient care of the water that you consume – not just in terms of its physical purity, it being bacteria-free and so on , but in terms of how you keep the water and how you approach it. There is substantial scientific evidence today that a thought, an emotion, a touch can change the molecular structure of water and greatly alter the way water behaves within your system.
在這五大元素中,水最為重要,因為身體的主要部分是水。你需要格外注意你所喝的水——不但要注意水的物理純度、無菌性等,並且還要注意如何裝水和取水。如今有大量的科學依據證實念頭、情緒和触碰都會改變水的分子結構,從而極大地改變水在你的系統內運作的方式。
Water has a great sense of memory. Everything that happens around a body of water is in some way stored in the water molecules. You could call it a fluid computer. You are not dealing with a commodity – you are dealing with life-making material . Water is life. It is important how you treat it before it enters your system.
水擁有很強的記憶感。任何發生在水周圍的事都會以某種方式被儲存在水分子裡。你可以將其稱之為流動的計算機。你不是在對待一件商品——你是在對待製造生命的材料。水即是生命。在水進入你的系統之前你如何對待它是十分重要的。
You can keep the water in a metal container, preferably made of copper or an alloy of copper, wash the container every day with an organic substance, and keep the water in a place where it is not touched by other smells and substances – there is sufficient space around it. If you do this, and you approach it by holding the vessel in your hands with a sense of gratitude and reverence because it is life-making material, and then consume it, you will see it will do wonders within your system. Healthfulness and equanimity will be a natural consequence.
你可以將水裝在最好是由銅或銅合金製成的金屬容器裡,每天用有機物質清洗容器,並將水放在不會被其它氣味和物質沾染的地方——讓水周圍有足夠大的空間。此外,你在取水時應當帶著感恩和崇敬的心情將容器用雙手捧著,因為水是製造生命的材料,然後再去喝水。如果你這麼做了,你將看到水會在你的系統裡產生很奇妙的作用。健康和寧靜將會是自然而然的結果。
Earth 土
The earth that you walk upon has a sense of intelligence and memory. Even if you live in a concrete jungle, it is important to keep in touch with the earth upon which you live. Create ways for yourself to somehow remain in touch with it. If your bare hands and bare feet – particularly the palms and soles – come in touch with the earth on a daily basis, it will harmonize the physiological process in your system.
你腳下的大地有著智慧和記憶。就算你住在水泥鋼筋的叢林裡,與你腳下的大地保持接觸也很重要。想想一些與大地保持接觸的方式。如果你光著手腳——尤其是手掌和腳掌——去與大地每天接觸的話,你係統裡的生理過程會變得和諧。
Try to spend at least a few minutes in the garden, barefooted, touching plants or trees, because the earth is the basis of life. All life – yours and that of every other creature – has come from this earth. Stay in touch with it and harmonize your system.
試著至少花幾分鐘到花園里赤腳走動,去接觸植物和樹木,因為大地是生命的基礎。所有的生命——你的生命以及其它所有生物的生命——都是來自大地。你要與大地保持接觸,從而使你的系統變得和諧。
Air 風
Though air represents only a small percentage of your body's elemental composition, it is the most dynamic element in terms of the transaction that happens on a minute-to-minute basis. It is well-known that what kind of air you breathe is important, but how you breathe and how consciously you do so is equally important.
雖然在你身體的元素構成中風只佔了很小的比例,但是從每分鐘所發生的變化來看,風是最有活力的元素。眾所周知,你呼吸什麼樣的空氣是很重要的,但你如何呼吸以及你如何有覺知地呼吸也同樣重要。
Especially for those of you who live in large cities, it may not always be in your hands what kind of air you breathe, so it is good that at least for a few minutes every day, you take a walk in the park, along the lake or the river, whatever is available to you. If you have children, it is important that at least once a month, you take them out far enough from the city, where nature is in a reasonably pure state, and they can climb a small hill, walk in a forest, or swim in a river, to be in touch with nature and do something where the breath is dynamic.
尤其是對你們當中那些住在大城市的人而言,你可能無法完全控制你呼吸什麼樣的空氣,所以每天最好花上至少幾分鐘到你方便去的公園裡、湖邊或者水邊散步。如果你有孩子,重要的一點是一個月至少有一次帶著他們遠離城市到那些自然環境還未受到破壞的地方,他們可以爬個矮山,到森林裡散步或在河裡游泳,與大自然親密接觸,進行一些增強呼吸的活動。
This is not just for aerobic exercise but because there is a constant exchange of air from within and without. The very intelligence in the body will make sure that when it senses the air is pure and alive, the way the body breathes will be different. With this exchange of air, cleansing will happen within the system. If you are in pure air, it is important to bring the breath to a dynamic state with some activity. You do not have to do too vigorous an activity – just enough to breathe slightly deeper than normal for a period of time. Especially for growing children, this is very important because it greatly enhances the body's integrity and strength.
這些活動可不是僅僅為了有氧運動,而是因為身體內外一直有氣體交換。身體本身俱有智慧,在它感到空氣純淨而有活力時,它的呼吸方式也會有所不同。伴隨著氣體交換,系統內部會發生淨化。如果你周圍的空氣很純淨,通過某種活動增強呼吸很重要。你不需要做太劇烈的活動——在活動中只需要比正常略深地呼吸一段時間。尤其是對於還在發育階段的孩子來說這點很重要,因為身體的整合性和力量會極大地提高。
If you are not able to take yourself out on a daily basis, you can do a simple yogic practice called nadi shuddhi at home to cleanse the breath.
如果你無法每天出去散步,你可以在家做一種叫氣脈淨化(Nadi Shuddhi)的簡單瑜伽練習來淨化呼吸。
Fire 火
Fire accounts for another part of your elemental makeup. What kind of fire burns within you? Is it the fire of greed, hatred, anger, resentment, lust, love, or compassion? If you cleanse the element of fire, once again your physical and mental wellbeing will be well-taken care of. You become an equanimous and exuberant being. A simple process you can do to cleanse the fire within you is get some sunlight every day. Though we have contaminated every other element, fortunately, sunlight cannot be contaminated – it has remained pure. Make best use of that.
在你的元素組成中火佔了另一部分。在你內在有什麼樣的火在燃燒?是貪婪之火、仇恨之火、憤怒之火、怨念之火、慾望之火、愛之火還是同情之火?如果你淨化了火元素,你的身心幸福會再次得到很好地保證。你變成一個寧靜而豐盛的人。為了淨化你內在的火,你能做的一個簡單的練習就是每天曬點陽光。雖然我們已經污染了其它四種元素,但幸運的是陽光不會受到污染——它一直保持純淨。要充分利用陽光。
If you wish to, you can light a fire with an organic substance like straw or firewood, without any oil, and stand facing the fire with open hands and open eyes for three minutes. Then stand with your back to it, exposing your spine for three minutes. This process cleanses your aura and brings about a new sense of resurgence in the system. It rekindles and reconnects the fire within with the fire outside. This is the basis of all fire-based rituals of the East .
如果你願意,你可以用稻草或木柴等有機物質而不是油來生火,雙手張開雙眼睜開面向火堆站立三分鐘。然後背朝火堆站立三分鐘,使你的脊柱對著火堆。這個練習會淨化你的光環,給系統帶來新的甦醒感。它會重新點燃內在之火併將其與外在之火重新聯結。在東方,所有使用火的儀式都是基於此。
If having a fire is not practical for you, at least light a lamp with vegetable oil or ghee and be around this lamp. First, sit facing the lamp, then turn around and sit so that the fire element within you gets rekindled.
如果生個火堆對你而言不太現實,至少用植物油或酥油點燃一盞燈,處在這盞燈附近。首先臉朝向燈坐著,然後轉身背對燈坐著,這樣你內在的火元素會被重新點燃。
Akash 空
The fifth and most expansive dimension of the elemental composition is akash or etheric space. Akash has a certain intelligence. The nature, quality, and power of your life is essentially determined by how much access you have to the akashic intelligence. There is only a limited amount of water, air, earth, and fire, but the akashic dimension is limitless. If your access to it expands, both your perception and intelligence will grow.
元素組成中的第五個維度同時也是最廣袤的維度是空或以太空間。空有某種智慧。你生命的本質、質量和力量從根本而言都取決於你能夠從何種程度觸及空的智慧。水、風、土和火的量是有限的,但是空這個維度是無限的。如果擴大了與空的接觸,你的感知和智慧都會成長。
One simple process you can do to find more access to the akashic intelligence is, after sunrise, before the sun crosses a 30° angle, look up at the sky and bow down to akash for holding you and this planet in place. After the sun crosses 30°, sometime during the day, look up and bow down again. Within 40 minutes after sunset, look up at the sky and once again bow down to the etheric space around us that is holding everything in place.
為了能更多地觸及空的智慧,你能做的一個簡單練習就是在日出之後而太陽的角度還沒超過30度之前,抬頭望天,向空鞠躬,感謝它使你和這個星球都各就其位。在太陽的角度超過30度後,在白天的某個時刻,抬頭望天,再次鞠躬。
在日落後的40分鐘內,抬頭望天,再次向我們周圍的以太空間鞠躬,感謝它使一切各就其位。
If you get akash to co-operate with your life energies, life will happen in magical ways. An intelligence that you have never thought possible will become yours.
如果你能讓空與你的生命能量合作,生命將以神奇的方式綻放。一種你從未覺得可能的智慧將屬於你。
