内心的平静

INNER PEACE
By  Swami Rama

Inner peace and happiness is a subject that concerns everyone, It concerned the ancients, and it is our concern today as well--to understand how we can be happy. We always think that people somewhere else are happier than we are, but that is not true. Everyone is restless; everyone is unhappy. And the reason is that human beings have not understood the source of happiness. No matter where you live, no matter what you have in the external world, no matter how many things you own, if you do not have peace within, you will never be happy.

To understand this, you will have to understand two things. One is called "within" and the other is called "without." Accordingly, there are two concepts for living, One is: make yourself happy in the external world, and you will be happy within. The other is: make yourself happy within, and you will reflect that happiness outside. But there is also a middle path: you can do both. You can make yourself happy in the external world through your attitude as you perform your actions and speech in that world, and at the same time you can maintain happiness within by being constantly aware of the Reality that is beyond body, mind, and senses. Actual knowledge comes when you start understanding both.

We all expect to be peaceful; we all expect to have happiness within us; and that is why we like to enjoy things. Even the smallest enjoyment comes with the hope of finding peace within. But we sometimes find that the enjoyments of the world create more turmoil than going without them would. Try to think of a single pleasure of the world that brings you lasting happiness, that brings you lasting enjoyment. You cannot. Suppose, for example, you have a watch. That gives you pleasure; but if you lose the watch, then that same watch becomes a source of pain. You depend too much on the things of the world. You think that after having this thing or that thing, after acquiring this thing or that thing, you will enjoy life and finally have peace. But it never happens. The things of the world cannot bring happiness; peace of mind does not depend on anything external, and without peace of mind you can never be happy.

So first of all let us try to see how our peace of mind is disturbed, how our mind remains in turmoil; for if we really want to understand our emotions, we can learn to be happy. There are many people in this world who enjoy life by being cheerful, by being in a state of tranquility. They maintain that state because they have learned to create a bridge between the external world and the internal world. People generally fall into one of three categories. Those in the first category do not understand the cause of their own turmoil. Those in the second category analyze the cause, but they cannot handle it, they cannot remove it. But there is a third category of people who know and understand the cause of turmoil, and who then remove it. These people remain free from inner and outer conflicts.

The Vedas, the most ancient scriptures, say that when our senses are not a source of distraction, when our mind is calm and quiet, when there is no inner turmoil and conflict, then we have attained the highest state of wisdom. Actually, the path of enlightenment is very short, but it is difficult to tread because we always expect that someone from outside will come and enlighten us. But this does not happen. Unless you are prepared to take responsibility for yourself, to understand your own inner being and your own internal states, you will not find happiness. You have to learn to do that.

BRIDGING THE TWO WORLDS

Though the worlds within and without are different, they are not totally separate. So you will have to learn to create a bridge between them. If you do not know how to live in the external world you will never have happiness. You cannot, for life and relationships are one and the same. You cannot separate them. Somehow, somewhere, everyone is related to something, to someone. Even a swami is related to his practice. He has no worldly relationships, it is true, but he is concerned about his students, about their progress. We should learn to deal with these relationships. This is very important, for if we do not do that, then we are constantly blasting our inner peace. If we leave our duties, if we run away, we will still have problems because we carry our mind with us all the time no matter where we live, and the source of our problems is in our mind.

Some of you will say you have done your best in the external world, yet still you are unhappy. You should remember one thing: it is the ego that comes in the way of your relationships. For example, two people may have decided to live with each other, but most of the time they are on their own ego trips. "I want this," one says, and the other says, "I want that." That I and that want come between the two of them and create a problem. So in relationships ego stands as one of the biggest barriers. Modern egos are very strong because people do not get training in taming the ego. We all have different wants, and if we try to fulfill them without regard for others there will be conflict.

You should not expect to gain happiness from others. Everyone asks, "Do you love me?" But there is no need for doing that. You can find out within how much you love a person, and that is exactly how much that person loves you. Do not ask, "Do you love me?" That is not love, but expectation. You are expecting too much from others. Just love, and you do not have to ask the question. The whole world suffers because everybody says, "Do you love me? Do you love me?" You expect others to love you, and yet you do not love. Love does not mean expectation, love means awareness. If you are aware that in everybody's heart, deep within, there is eternity, you will love that. You will be able to say, "I love you not because of your body, senses, and mind. I love you because you are an eternal shining flame. We are like lamps, and your eternal flame is shining the same as the one in me. I love that flame." Saying "I love that flame" means that you are loving yourself when you love others. It becomes very easy. So you should learn to change your concepts, change your attitudes toward life a little bit and make it into a poem, a thing of beauty.

One of the sages I met in the Himalayas said to me, "I don't know why people are bothered so much; it is very easy to enjoy life." So I said, "What is the formula, sir?" And he said, "Life needs adjustment. Its goal is contentment, but those who do not know how to adjust--how can they attain their goal?" When you cannot adjust yourself in the external world, the whole problem lies with your inner understanding. So learn to study your inner processes, and then you will be happy.

But modern people have no time for insight. They do not want to sit calmly even for a few minutes. And if they do try, then they start thinking, and this leads to turmoil. But it is not our thinking process that creates the disturbance, that makes us petty and small. It is something called emotion. No matter how much wisdom you have, no matter how much you understand, it will not help you if you have not organized your emotional life. No amount of book learning can help you do this. Even if you know the scriptures, you cannot be happy if you have no control over your emotions. So you should learn to study where the emotions are coming from and why they are creating problems for you. You have to find the way to divert and channel these negative emotions.

One way to do this is to learn to control your attitude as you perform your actions and speech in the external world. Nobody knows how you think; people know you because of your actions and speech, and this is how you relate to the external world. So if you know how to direct your speech and actions, you can know how to live peacefully in the external world. The wound from a bullet can be cured, but the wound from a word is not that easy to heal. If someone is very harsh to you, or if someone has spoken something that you cannot forget, that wound is still there. Speech is very powerful; action is also very powerful. So only those who know how to conduct their actions and speech can be happy in the external world. Behind our actions is that which motivates us to perform them, and that force is called desire. If you are always saying, "I don't know why I did that, and I am sorry," then you are lying to yourself. You know why. Even if you do not consciously remember the reason for being compelled to do something, you still know it. Many of your actions are controlled by your unconscious mind, but any part of you that motivates you to do something is also yours, and you can learn to control it, too.

FOR ME BUT NOT MINE

How do we perform actions in such a way that they do not become a source of problems for us and for others? If we learn to change our attitude, we will be happy. When we have to do something, we should find out how to do it in such a way that we are not attached to it. All the things of the world are meant for us to enjoy--but they are not ours. All of our pleasures and joys are marred when we start owning things, for if we try to possess things we become attached to them. Nothing belongs to us. That which gives us problems is our "my" business: "My house, my car, my bank, my this, my that." Wherever our my is attached, that gives us problems. We get attached to these things--and attachment brings misery--and then we cannot enjoy them.

Do you know that the words we use most the whole day, from morning to evening, are I, my, and mine? All the time we tell people, "I have done this; I am sad; I am happy; I am rich; I am poor...." Whatever we do we always use that I. But suppose someone were to say, "Well, sir, you are talking of your I all the time. Can I know what that I is?" You would have to keep silent. If someone were to say, "Is that body your I? you would say, "No, it is merely my body." So where is the I that you want to express all the time? What is that I of which you are talking all the time? Have you known that l? Where is that l? When you start studying yourself, you become aware that you have to know one thing: you have to know the I that is within you. And there is only one way of knowing it. You must ask yourself the question, "Who am I?" If you ask other people, "Who am I? What are we trying to do? What is God? What is Self? What is Self-realization?" they will think that you are crazy. But for knowing yourself and your I, you do not have to consult others. You have the power to find out for yourself.

If you put yourself in a completely dark chamber away from all light, then where are your hands? You cannot see your own palms, yet you know that they are there. What is that which tells you? Who tells you that your hands are there? Who tells you that you still exist? For knowing your own existence, you do not need any outside light. You have the capacity to find out within yourself. So first of all, you should learn to know yourself, and the ancients say there is a way to do this. If you were to ask a sage, "Who am I? Am I this body?" the sage would say, "No, you have a body, but you are not the body." "Then am I the senses?" "No, the senses are different from you." "Then am I the breath?" "No. Body, senses, and breath are not at all you." "Oh, then I think I must be the mind." "No, the mind goes through modifications--through the thinking process, through thought patterns, through analysis--it is constantly fluctuating. So you are not the mind." "Then who am I?" "You are seated behind body, senses, and mind. That which is peeping through the mind, senses, and body, that you are."

When you start understanding yourself, when you begin to cease to identify with your body, senses, and mind, then you will find that your own self is an eternal wave; your own self is a child of immortality. That which creates problems for you is your mind, because you are constantly identifying yourself with its thought patterns. You do not know, you do not think, that there can be something more, something deeper, higher, and stronger than the thinking process. You think, for example, "My husband said I am a bad woman. So, I must be a bad woman. My son also says I am bad. And my friend the other day told me I am bad. I am definitely bad." You have accepted these suggestions from outside. But you have not cared to make the effort to truly understand; you have not cared to look within. So you feel guilty, and you are suffering. This happens with everyone. You should sit down some time and think about it. Do not blame all these things on God, saying, "God made me like this, so I am like this." God made you beautiful, but you make yourself miserable. And you also have the power to make yourself happy. Both are of your own doing. You can transform your personality by understanding this.

BEYOND BODY, SENSES, AND MIND

How will you transform your personality? By being constantly aware of the Reality within, which is not body, senses, breath, or mind, but beyond that--that flame, that light, that life. Remind yourself: "I am not body, I am not senses, I am not mind--so who is there to create problems for me? This body, these senses, these thoughts have no power to create problems for me, so why am I suffering? I am suffering because of my association with the body, senses, and mind. It is all right to have them, to use them and enjoy them, but when I become attached to them and identify myself with them, I am bound to suffer." Suffering comes when you have something and you do not know how to use it. If you are aware of this, you will quickly come to realize that you have all the things you need; you simply need to learn how to use them. That is all.

So you should know the technique for using the instruments that you have. And that is, you should be constantly aware-- inside--of the Reality. "I am beyond body, senses, and mind. Who is there to make me suffer?" If you say "God," then that poor God should suffer more than we because he would be responsible for having created a whole world of suffering. If you believe that God has created such a miserable world, then there is no need for believing in God. But God has not created a miserable world; it is we who have created a miserable world for ourselves. All the miserable conditions in the world have been created by us, and we can remove them and be happy. So constantly be aware of the Reality that is beyond body, senses, and mind. And when you do your actions, think that all the things of the world are meant to be used and should be used--they should be enjoyed. But know that they are not yours. Then you will be happy. Happiness is not something that we cannot have. It is our right; it is our birthright; we are working for that; we live for that; we hope to continue to live for that.

You talk of other worlds, other dimensions, unknown things. You should not do that. You should understand the nature of the known. You are not satisfied with the things of the world, but it is the nature of the world that nothing is permanent. Everything is subject to change; everything is decaying; everything is dying. Accept this fact--and then live in the world. Do not talk. about the unknown. Do not expect the unknown to come and enlighten you; do not expect the unknown to suddenly drop in and make you happy. Make yourself happy by understanding that the light of lights is within you.

That which is called God or the Lord is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. If he is not within you, then he is not a great Lord, he is not omnipresent. If he is omniscient, then that means that the knowledge of God IS within you. And If he is omnipotent, then the Lord in his full majesty must be within you. So that which you consider to be God is within you in his full majesty. You do not know that because you rely on your body, which is subject to change. But there is something that does not change--something beyond the body, senses, and mind. It is that light, that flame, that eternity--which is within you--that does not change. It is called God within you.

So remember, you are not so miserable as you have made yourself out to be. You are God, too, and cultivating this constant awareness within you will help keep you from false attachments, from identifying yourself with your body, mind, and senses. So you must say to yourself, "Body, mind, and senses are mine, but they are not me, for I am that eternal flame which is not subject to change, death, and decay." This awareness should always be with you.

So how do you live in the external world? How do you find inner peace and happiness? By creating a bridge between the internal and external worlds, by adjusting your attitude when you perform your actions and speech, and by being constantly aware of the Reality within.

经常这里酸和那里痛的人看过来

许是我长期的职业病，对着电脑逐字琢磨、敲打的长年“身体”疾病和在城市森林中的求生挣扎导致的心力交瘁和迷茫促使我慢慢地走向这个方向上。

常常学生问我怎么会放下那个稳定的高薪和"星光熠熠"的职业改换到这条跑道上，我总会开玩笑地说，"啊，是阿，身体被我玩烂了。”

现在回想，也不是杞人忧天。经过了这几年的东养生，西放松的借口,逐渐看到自己的身和心的慢慢“相应”，早在没遇上<生活的艺术>的日子，那些时候都是在夜半惊醒，感叹身体不属于我的。那些身体的麻酸，这里那里的涨气不舒服，有的没的永远补不足的睡眠，你会知道，当那个身体不听你的召唤时的心是多么脆弱，彷徨，无奈。再加上心的贪嗔痴慢疑，各种七情六欲、种种压力、各种执着在左右你，让身心的疲累和低能量是可想而知的。

这个故事，放在这个年代，我想，普通得再不普通不过了。

你还在20多岁时，你不会想到今天这样的情景。在30岁时，也许有些人会开始遇上了。到了40，50 岁时，你会感觉“老怀安慰”，因为你并不孤单。亲人朋友的情况，比比皆是。

我有时候会跟我家妖精说，可能以我这个岁数的人来说，出席丧礼和进出医院的次数可能比同年龄的人多了一些吧。当然也是因为做义工服务的关系，更多机会接触生死情景。你会觉得，真的，生命就这样稍纵即逝。而你临走前的那个念头，就决定了你的下一世。不管你平日怎么修，临时的最后一口呼气和强烈念头，就决定你上天堂还是地狱啦。但多少人都还不是这样的懵懂，迷糊，甚至有些是因为临走的情况太快了，只能凭着肉身的那最后一个强烈感觉，就重复性地再来人世间“重新玩过"。

嗯，离得有些远了。

话说回来。

近年对Yoga Therapy 这块的兴趣，也当然是因为自己的身体需要疗愈，最后，就变成今天的这个工作坊啦。之前上了Judy 老师的工作坊，那一次倒是让过去所学的杂七杂八的东西打通的感觉:)。后来熬不过朋友学员们嚷着要我分享。好吧，独乐乐不如众乐乐。毕竟这玩艺还真的有一套。那有许多人告诉我，他不做瑜伽的，他喜欢运动。我想说的是，很可惜。因为你会运动到你可能40，50岁的时候，就不得不回头找这类的疗愈瑜伽了。为什么呢？因为疗愈瑜伽在国外的盛行，特别是在医学物理治疗区域，已经不是什么新鲜萝卜皮的事情了。

西方医学也是坚持运动对身体好，到近期你会看到越来越多的“运动伤害”的字眼出现在大小媒体的报道中，就会知道，现代人的“娇弱”身体，不是能够随便运动的。与其说很多人是在运动，不如说很多人是在“发泄”，拼运动。这里伤，那里伤的。年轻的时候，你也许不懂，慢慢几年下来，你就会看到了其累积性的利害。

也不是说做瑜伽就不会有伤害的。瑜伽，也会有它的运动伤害，如果你是在拼瑜伽的话。根据瑜伽经典， Patanjali Yoga Sutra，我们以为的瑜伽，不是一种运动，那只不过是瑜伽八肢里的其中一环。那个动作的部分我们称为瑜伽体位法。那只是一个准备我们的身体，到最后一个三摩地的境界。不少朋友练习瑜伽却没办法获得全面性的瑜伽疗愈，那是很可惜的。除了享受那一时的扭到高难度动作的满足感，也只有外功，内在的气血循环却不好，也不懂得呼吸，练就了一堆的硬肌肉，更别说心法的那一块了，柔软如水的内在力量和弹性。

所以，瑜伽是什么？瑜伽是一种修心方法，是一种生活哲学，是平衡。而当瑜伽结合了疗愈这一环节，当然，真正的瑜伽本身就身心灵的合一，就是一种疗愈，以现在的瑜伽疗愈定义，就是结合了一些其他的知识，如物理治疗、中医知识、运动学等等后，就特别符合如此多娇的现代人啦:) 放心，没有高难度的动作，都是些简单，渐进式的动作。

这一次的疗愈瑜伽工作坊会分几个系列。这一次会以建立如何不受伤的基本概念为主，以及分享疗愈瑜伽里的第一个环节，就是放松。有别于一般的瑜伽都通过体位法来做放松和暖身，疗愈瑜伽会把放松放在第一个步骤。放松的方式主要通过深层按摩你的肌筋膜。特别适合那些本来有这里酸那里痛的朋友，也适合那些拼瑜伽拼到身体也有这样状况的朋友，如果你没上述问题，这知识就适合你作为预防，甚至加深你的瑜伽或运动疗效。而基本概念则是让你更清楚了解为什么酸痛是什么，为何酸痛会发生，避免慢性劳损。


以下是第二第三场工作坊的时间表，有些好像只剩下几个位子。还有几个地点也在洽谈着日期，有兴趣的，就留言看看有没有这个机缘到你的地方分享。

别对自己那么苛刻...

嘿，女孩，

请停止对自己的判断和审视。在这个到处都是贴标签的年代，别人为你贴的标签也就算了，难道你还要自己再为自己加上那么多吗？

生命是浩瀚的，是无限广的，是不可知的。你永远不知道你自己可以去到哪里。你此刻需要做的，就是放松。Just relax。

了解自己，是好的。但不是又在为自己另外贴上什么标签。只需要轻轻地，知道，“哦，我有情绪了。”然后就让它静静地过。

就像古儒吉常说的，" Fear is just a fear. Don't think of "im fear of water..why?" ” 事情本来就是这样简单，因为那就是事情的本质。现代人的做法往往喜欢分析，分析后还要再判断，判断后又心生新烦恼....这样下去没完没了。

你所需要做的，就只是.......放松。That's it。

放松，放松你的身体，放松你的呼吸，放下你脑中所有的想法。

当然不是什么都不想。这是不可能的！因为念头的本质就是会不断地浮现。只需静静地让这些念头像浮云一样，随它去。也不去分析，也不需追思下去，也不需捉着它......

别理这些是不是因为你的原生家庭，你的潜意识，你的前世...你的什么的，那些都只不过是一些过去的印记。
Past is Past! 过去的，早就过去了，生命的发生是在现在！当下！

何必让那些过去跟自己过不去呢？！

你真的，只需要做的是......深吸口气，然后...呼气......放松！

你就是平静...你就是喜悦....你就是爱！！！
爱是你的本质，爱不是一种情绪！~ 古儒吉

Love,
Zooooker

当感到痛苦和焦虑时.....

Your Home is in my heart

倒数

嗯，筹办时间只有1个月左右。

但要说的是，band队们的精神让我感动。

他们对音乐的热忱，对每次演出机会的珍惜和真诚。

这些人实在太少见。

过程中有许多的挑战，

却因为这些的不确定因素，

让整个show更值得期待。

究竟整场的火花是怎么样呢？

期待中。

回归北部的第一场重头戏.

新旧舞台战友，陪我一起疯的场子。

你要不要来？

生命的呼吸 Breath of Life

如果世上没有爱，那全世界就幸免于麻烦！所有世上的问题根本都源自于爱，同样的，所有的喜悦、享受及生命的目的也是爱！如果没有爱，你将不会嫉妒。嫉妒之所以存在是因为爱；贪婪的出现也是因为你对物质的爱恋；愤怒也是因为你太爱完美。这就是为何你会对不完美感到愤怒。而当你太爱你自己时，你因此也变得自大与傲慢。

因此，每一种爱的扭曲不止会为我们自己带来问题，同时也为他人带来问题。就算这是事实，假若生命中没有爱？试着去想象，在这星球上，没人爱你，而你也不爱任何人，那你的生命会有任何意义或目的吗？你的生活肯定会极度压抑、无聊、甚至是无趣的。但是我们要如何进入那个免于扭曲、并让我们对自己感到轻松自在的爱呢？

此时若有一些关于自己、关于我们的念头、意识以及扭曲的问题根源之认知，会对上述问题有所帮助。当你感觉精疲力尽时，你无法连接你的内在美德。世上的每个人生来就拥有这些美德。他们只是因缺乏认知而被蒙蔽。所以只需了解这些美德一直在那里，只是把蒙蔽的部分掀开既可。

我们不应认为在我们内在深处只有痛苦。痛苦只是在表层而已。当稍微再深入内层时，痛苦是不存在的。你的内在是不可能受伤的！如果你痛苦只是因为你不够深入。这就是为何我们无法原谅其他人因为我们认为是他人导致我们手上。当你以不同角度去面对一个人，你会发现那个人本身也是无知、小我及缺乏觉察力的受害者。所以，每一个加害者的内在深处都有一个受害者在哭喊着帮助。如果我们能认知这点，那我们就无需原谅他们。我们会对他们心感慈悲。

当我们快乐时，我们内在有些东西正在扩展着。而当我们难过时，我们内在有些东西正在碰撞；一种收缩紧绷的感觉。只需了解这点，就可为我们带来自由。那我们的心智或意识就不再是任何人话语，意见或观点的傀儡。它就自由了。我们就会无条件的快乐。

没有呼吸，就没有生命！懂得呼吸，懂得生命！呼吸的韵律可以帮助我们与自己、灵魂、意识及本我连接。我们会与世上的所有人、事、物连接。

我很确定在场每个人的深处都可以感觉到自己从未长大过  - 不曾改变过或是变老。这象征着你内在深处的灵魂。那个不曾改变过的灵魂。那个不曾变老的灵魂。这不是衰老的迹象。虽然你的身体在老化，但是你的内在有一部分是不曾老化的。与这个不曾老化的部分连接，把那份美带到生活中。这就是静心。

我们须认识我们的呼吸多一些。我们需要认识我们所有存在层面多一些。例如：身体、呼吸、心智、理智、记忆、我执及本我。这些我称为“生活的艺术”，认识自己及生命的7个存在层面。通过这些认知会让你更处在当下，同时帮助你保有你与生俱来的纯真。这让你在何时何地，与任何人在一起时都感到归属感！

我建议每一年至少有一个星期的时间让自己放假。在那段时间，与大自然相处。在日出中醒来，食用适量食物  - 吃所需要的，做一些练习，如：瑜伽与呼吸练习，几分钟的歌唱，保持静默、并好好享受这个创造界。让自己沉浸在大自然中，当你的整体系统充电后，接下来的一整年你会感到活力充沛、热忱愉快。

转了一个圈

每天总找个机会和老爷闲聊，

就聊些当日的生活体悟，

分享一些生活大小事件。

近期很突然地决定搬回北部。

重新开始。

当别人很多都是一线式生活，

而我们却是很好玩地转了个圈，

回到了“起点”，

原来的地方。

但不一样的我。

老爷说法是，

“哪里跌倒，那里来过。”

而我的说法是，

“出去转了一圈，

现在要重新回来带着这些过去的人

一起前进。”

反正，前路如何，我们不知道。

这些本来不在我们的掌控中。

忧郁、担心、恐惧很多时候都是因为对于未知的一个投射。

就你心里知道

不论什么安排，都是老天爷在那一刻给你最好的安排。

小小的心就会很放心。

走就对了。

做就是了。

按老爷的说法，

“老实做人，吃饭时吃饭，睡觉时睡觉。”

而我的说法，

“过个小小的日子，聊个小小的天。”

这就是生活。

今天，我為你帶來花

早晨陽光正好。

Every morning when i wake up i see you

Divine Love

多么美的诠释。

Divine love is - 

"I have never seen your face but I have fallen in love with you. 

I have not heard your name but my heart beats by your name. 

I have never touched you 

but you are pulsating in every cell of my being. 

I have never met you but you are in me. 

All I want is to dissolve. 

All I want is to be one."

~Sri Sri

某个下午，我在那座城市

蔡岳勳导演与古儒吉大师

读完导演的分享，我开始有冲动想把我跟古儒吉这三年的因缘点滴全部写出来！！

酝酿中....

「痞子英雄」電影導演蔡岳勳說
上完課我整個人被「upgrade」好像晶片程式模組被重組了

因為太太小惠的鼓勵與堅持下，我意外地接觸了生活的藝術與靈性上師古儒吉大師。小惠對於心靈成長與各種開發潛能的課程一直保持著高度的熱誠與興趣，但我是個虔誠的佛教徒，深覺佛陀給我的教誨其實已經很足夠了，更何況我還沒把他所教的完全消化完畢，因而對於她屢次邀我一起陪她參與靈修課程感到興趣缺缺。有一回，她拿了一堆簡介要我無論如何一定要選一個，不忍心拂逆了她的好意下，我選了一個呼吸法的課程：「那就這個吧！」「人自然而然會去選擇適合他自己所需要的！」小惠神祕地說。

於是我與五位同事一起上了課程，上完初級後兩個月，我與太太和兩位同事接著一起去巴里島上高級課程，高級課程後，我理解了好多好多的事情。包括對佛陀、我自己的人生、生命、身體、靈魂的理解，在那裡突然整個被連結，被打開了。

課程第二天早上，在「你是光你是能量的靜心」中 ，那是一個能讓人找到內在的光體與靈魂的存在的靜心，原來我真的可以看到自己內在的光體，原來這個身體不是我，而是靈魂光體的存在，兩者之間是可以對話的。很妙的！那個靜坐到最後我發現甚至真的可以用眉心呼吸，我開始理解、連結在這個身體、靈魂與世界三個不同位元之間彼此相互關聯運作的關係。

上完那個早上的靜心，中午時我告訴太太我覺得很難受、很昏沉，我必須回房去休息睡一下 ，進房後我一躺下去就睡著了，而且完全無法動彈，但那同時我的腦部卻處於一種非常高速高頻運作的狀態，無法知道它正在做什麼，我曾嘗試著翻身，但無法動彈，一直到他們下課回來，我還是起不來，持續昏睡到半夜都處於那樣的狀態中，廖老師曾交代他們不要叫醒我，並且餵我喝了大量的能量水。

等到我醒來時，整個人的狀態很不一樣，這很難形容解釋，好像我整個人被整理過，晶片程式模組被重組了。後來我喜歡笑稱那叫「upgrade」。那十五個小時對我來說是很驚人的事，不會動彈的昏迷！我頭腦的組合模式的確被改變了。
隔天清晨起來，我打開窗，看見所有的人都在海灘上做瑜珈，於是我在房裡跟著做，做完瑜珈後，我整個人非常清晰而清醒，處於一種非常飽合的狀態。當「禁言」結束時，我走到海灘散步，我的能量非常的好，辨識能力已經精微到可以清楚地看見每一粒沙子，我坐下來靜坐一會兒，起來後又到處散步，看見海邊一個坡璃屋內有一對新人正在舉行婚禮，我看著，看著忽然理解了一件事情，我了解我為什麼要來，我忽然了解我的目的和責任是什麼，我淚流滿面卻非常開心，我明白了當人們了解了自己的目的，原來自己原本的面貌是乾淨的意識，當時的我是非常自由的、非常輕鬆的。

從巴里島回來後，我接著學了自然三摩地靜心法。人是很難跟自己相處的，這是很大的問題，人永遠不知道怎麼跟真正的自己相處，永遠給自己製造了很多的痛苦、麻煩跟困擾，那些好好壞壞都是自己所創造出來的，最難的是知道自己為什麼要在這裡。
我的人生到了四十歲才有一個比較完整的樣貌，四十歲那年某一天，我突然清醒了。我發現我的神經系統在那一年終於整個連結完畢，甚至包括對人、對自己、對人生都有了新的看法。因此對自己、靈魂與社會三個不同位元的關聯是什麼，不再混沌不清，我開始可以看很多深奧的佛經，懂得佛陀說的法是什麼。當一個人對自己有相當程度的了解，就有辦法找到跟自己相處的模式。如果真的能找到與自己好好相處的方法，那麼在世界上的每一天都是很快樂的。

這整套技術對我的日常生活是很有用的，在非常疲勞和有壓力時，它能讓人在瞬間恢復元氣。如果人們願意花四十分鐘的時間，把自己靜靜地關在房裡，好好地做完呼吸法，會回到一個非常純淨和穩定的狀態。當我工作壓力累積到很龐大時，只要連續做個兩三天就會覺得回到很輕鬆、、自在的狀態。尤其我最喜歡做元呼吸法後的大休息式，我常常進入很深沉的原始的根源的位置。當人卸下所有的壓力時，就可以跟自己的內在相處，沒有人世的繁雜與自己設定的痛苦，那是很自在的。我的基督教朋友說他懂，基督徒說這感覺叫做「喜樂」，出現在他們基督的力量降臨時。一旦人們進去那個根源的位置，那裡沒有界限。

練淨化呼吸時，我完全跟著古儒吉大師的聲音節拍在呼吸，他的聲音好像儲存在體內很久了，就像是他就在旁邊一樣 。今年四月十日他要來之前， 我決心協助淨化呼吸法做更廣泛的推廣。在協助的過程中，我感到很快樂，常常升起莫名的快樂與開心，我相信會很成功的！在做的過程中也許很辛苦，但我相信古儒吉會安排好一切的！我們不是作為者，我們只是推動的元素。

生活的藝術是很好的技術！對台灣目前的環境來說，我們需要更多正面的力量，來把這個傾斜的環境稍微推回來一點點，古儒吉來的正是剛好的時機點，而且他沒有宗教派別的問題，他能讓所有的宗教在這裡融合。所以我們很開心、也期盼這次萬人靜心跟生活的藝術能讓更多人發現並了解。我想推行正向、良善的力量是很重要的事！這比只是拿出很多錢來建設社會，還來得實際、有用！也能讓人生更有意義！

于小惠与古儒吉大师

于小惠：我們家，每天，在恩典之下！

于小惠 2012年3月
編輯：曾有人問古儒吉有關神的問題，還記得他幽默的回答：「人們將神鎖在心裡，卻又弄丟了開鎖的鑰匙」。
找到鑰匙後，才發現自己就是圓滿！

每次當我要寫我在生活藝術的故事，我就會傻在電腦前很久，然後又默默地把電腦闔上，事實上，我接觸生活藝術已是第三個年頭了，這三年來，發生的奇蹟太多，故事太多，我總是很想分享給大家知道，但是，就是有一種愛，你會覺得，再美好的文字，也不足以形容。再了不起的言語，也不足以表達，但是，今天不能不寫了，因為

～我們最愛的老大（古儒吉）要來啦～

生活藝術，是一個很美的地方，很科學的靈修技術，很熱忱卻不矯情的人們！在這裡，喜樂是真的，眼淚是真的，感激是天天都有的～不管你在甚麼艱困的情境中，只要走進中心，使用技術，很快的，一切都溶解，你就回到那份喜悅的源頭～我想這就是，愛的力量！

人生來就是幸福的，但是活著活著，活著就忘記了，忘記怎麼快樂，忘記生命本身就是富足的，這時我們需要一個好的方法跟技術，讓我們憶起本來的我～第一次上完初級課程，覺得好開心噢，怎麼會有一個這麼輕鬆的靈修課程，課程中除了練習帶回家的都是滿滿的愛～我們也如願地懷了第三個寶寶～在懷孕四個月時，我們幸運的到了巴里島參與了有古儒吉的高級課程，這才真的讓我震驚，世界上竟然有一個如此完美的課程～在巴里島的課程中，我們深深地與上師和眾人們完整的連結著。這些年，我總是記得愛孩子愛丈夫愛同事愛別人，卻常常抵擋不住內在的匱乏感受，永遠覺得自己不够好，對孩子和家人苛求，卻又深怕失去甚麼，每天粘著家人緊緊的，不安全感，仿佛是與生俱來的，怎麼樣都揮之不去～

但是在課程的第二天，我真的就找回了那份深愛自己的感受，這真的太難得了，我相信只有真的深受這樣痛苦的人才能理解我的心情，我突然間覺得安全了，恐懼消失了～內在充滿了愛與信心～這樣的體會是我從出生之後第一次！

我知道自己再也不用努力了，這些年我做好一切，經常是為了討好，為了乞求更多的讚美，更多的愛！然而現在，我知道，我可以真的發自內心的去做，願意做才做，愛自己才做～那一天，我好感激，好感激～直到現在的每一天，我還深深記得那分悸動，我知道，我們終於回家了！這才是回家的道路啊！

爾後的人生，都是幸福而奇妙的，老三在水中誕生了（水中生產），愛笑又好帶，老大跟老二都去上了兒童課程，平常愛斗嘴的兩人，只要我搬出古老大，兩個就乖乖的去靜坐，坐完就抱在一起互相說愛對方～老公每次拍到人仰馬翻或著遇到解不開的問題，一次的三摩地，事情就能奇蹟式的轉變，這是我們家，每天，在恩典之下！我真的好感謝好感謝，感謝我們的古老大！

其實還有太多太多的話想說，但是真的，說兩輩子也說不完，只能說，這真的是太棒了呀！！！

我們一起回家吧！如果你也有好多的彷徨，痛苦，難解的習題，放心地把自己交出來吧～回家的道路，有好多人陪伴，一點也不漫長！

The Universe LOVE You

By Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

First of all connect to yourself.

When you go deep in yourself and let go of all the anxiety

and know that you are loved by the universe,

you get inner strength.

The universe loves you, air loves you, space loves you,

the sun and moon love you.

So you are surrounded by that energy of love

and you’ll just melt in meditation

and that is what gives that inner strength;

so solid, child like again.

Free from inhibitions, free from worries, being natural!

很多时候就是担心太多。导致自己不放松。

习惯了现代教育教导我们的方式，

要成功就要策划啦，掌握大局啦，迅速看到效果啦，

要努力啦，那种很商业的模式，

就是这些，让自己很多时候更要求，更费力，达不到的时候就捉狂。

其实呢，事情很简单的。

就只是放松。

当你放松的时候，things will fall in its place.

不是吗？

感谢老天今天派了一位天使来，

虽说她本来是要和我谈他的问题的，

可是过程中，我却学习很多。

从她身上，我看到了我自己。

再一次，感恩。

人和鬼

华人有个说法是有趣的- “人也你说，鬼也你说”，

这句话的意思表达非常生动，到位。

就看到别人犯规，马上跳出来要指正、制裁对方。

但同样情况来到自己身上，就理直气壮，是在执行天理。

为何会发生这样的情况呢？

答案也是很简单，缺乏觉知力也。

如果心是平静的，

不被情绪或过去的负面印记拉扯的，

这样行动和决定才能正确。不是吗？

那要如何让心重新变新呢？

静坐和呼吸。

心的变化

When the heart speaks and the heart listens, harmony is produced.

~ Sri Sri Ravi Shanker

所谓心得

有朋友问我，

怎么近来都不分享我在这条路上的心得。

我想了想，

其实我无话可说。

为何？

因为，说来说去，

都是那些开悟圣德说过的话。

不是说我会“直接copy”他们的一字一语。

而是，不管我领悟多少心得，或是概念，

其实他们早就说过了。

我们只不过沿着他们走过的路，

继续在走。

所以他们才是GURU。

GURU是谁呢？

GURU就是那些曾经来回走在这条路上，

非常熟悉这条路的一花一草，

懂得如何开门进入这条路，
懂得如何越过重重障碍，
懂得如何抵达终点的人。

所以，我再怎么写，

顶多也只是发表自己近来的心情，

谈不上什么个人发现的伟大心得。
而且很多时候，

我们长篇大论的说了一大堆，

甚至出书专大事发表的某某课题，

最后回看这些GURU们的三言两语，

整件事情就这样一清二楚，

简单，干脆，一针见血。

就因为我们还没悟，

所以继续兜得不亦乐乎，煞有其事。

生命中有个GURU来引导我们穿越生命的面纱

是非常幸运的。

因为一位GURU能看到的，

不是我们所看到的，以为的实相层次。

那你问我，在印度几乎整个月，我学到了什么。

我说啊，我在Learn To Unlearn，
也在过程中才知道自己是个幸运的人，

今生有个GURU引领我，

提升我，教导我，

必要时候，给我一个当头喝棒，

在我不觉察的时候，帮我料理很多我没想过的麻烦事。
还真要花上那么多年的时间，

才明白，自己以前多么费力，

苦苦挣扎，自以为是。

也许，很多东西都要真的撞了头，痛到不行，

才了解，放下就只是那几秒的松手而已。
