呼吸是一個「生命力、生命能量進入你、流過你,而被你送回生命本身」的過程。當你靜觀或靜心時,有意識地引導你周遭的生命能量,由你的頭頂進入你體內,感受那能量滋潤著你身體的每一個器官、每一個細胞…
聽神談【一個可以擴展意識+增進身體健康的方法】
單純地吸入在你周圍的生命能量。以生命自然的節奏,做一段長時間的深呼吸。當你做這個時,安靜地坐著或躺著。
尼爾:哦,這我曾聽過。在某些訓練裡,這稱為「內觀呼吸練習」(breath work) 。
是的。現在,當你吸氣時,(有意識地)感覺你自己吸入生命的能量。在深呼吸一會兒之後,想像這生命能量由你頭頂的一個門戶進入。當它流過你的身體時,以你內在的眼睛(internal eye)觀看它。當你呼氣時,讓它由你的腳底出去。這樣來回做幾次。並以你的心掃描你整個身體。
現在,想像這個能量充滿你的頭腦。感覺氧氣充滿你的頭腦,餵養和滋潤那裡的每個細胞。感覺你頭腦的每個細胞都擴展了。這樣刻意地練習七分鐘。
之後,你可能感覺頭腦有點輕飄飄的。別擔心。你可能會感覺輕飄飄的,因為你將會是輕飄飄的。你已將生命能量的金白色之光送到你的腦子。你已經有意地將它導到那裡。這會讓你的腦細胞輕飄飄。你可能會有一種被啟迪的開明感覺(a sense of enlightenment)。那身體的感覺可能帶來一種對生命,對你周遭的每樣東西的放大覺知。如果這種感覺發生了,請不要驚訝。因為你已打開了你的心胸,將它坦露給你擴展意識的輕柔微風。
現在,你可以回頭,重讀一下你剛讀過的。
尼爾:我將試著那樣做。我將把書放下,我將試著那樣做。
請真的去做。當你做時,承諾自己每天都要做這項「內觀呼吸練習」。你或許會發現到,在一個靜觀狀態下深呼吸的簡單動作(simply act of breathing deeply in a meditative state)可以不只擴展你的意識,也同時增進你身體的健康。
試著以做這項呼吸工作,開始你們一天的生活。不久後,你會變得自動地去做。如果出現這種情況,你就是在自動優先服侍生命(pre-serving Life)。因為呼吸是個「生命力(Life Force)進入你、流過你,而被你送回生命本身」的過程。
摘自《重新定義神》第4章
Simply breathe in the Life that is all around you. Breathe deeply, with the natural rhythm of Life, for an extended period. Sit or lie quietly while you do this.
Neale: Oh, yes, I have heard of this. In some trainings this is called “breath work.”
Yes. Now, as you inhale, feel yourself taking in the energy of Life. After breathing deeply for a while, imagine this energy of Life entering through a portal at the top of your head. Watch with your internal eye as it courses through your body. As you exhale, let it exit through your feet. Do this a number of times. Scan your body with your mind.
Now, imagine filling your brain with this energy. Feel the oxygen fill your brain, feeding and nourishing the cells there. Feel the cells of your brain expand. Do this intentionally for seven minutes.
You may feel a little light-headed after this. Do not worry about that. You may feel light-headed because you will be light- headed. You have sent the golden-white light of the energy of life to your brain. You have directed it there, intentionally. This lightens your brain cells. You may feel a sense of enlightenment. With that physical feeling may come an increased awareness of Life, of everything around you. Do not be surprised if this occurs. You have opened your mind, exposing it to the gentle breeze of expanded consciousness.
Now you may go back and reread what you have just read.
Neale: I’m going to try that. I’m going to put the book down, and I’m going to try that.
Please do. And while you’re at it, make a commitment to do this “breath work” every day. You may find that the simple act of breathing deeply in a meditative state may not only expand your consciousness, but enhance your physical well-being as well.
Try doing this breath work before doing anything else as you begin your day. Soon, it may become automatic with you. If that happens, you will be pre-serving Life. For breathing is the process by which the Life Force enters you, flows through you, and is sent by you back to Life Itself.
