"I AM LOVE" with Senses, Sounds and Serenity- Thank you for joining us today!
感謝今天您的參與！
Every yoga pose has an inner quality. Today the topic is "I AM LOVE". We tried to bring LOVE in our every breath and every movement. In the end of class, we drank energy lemon water and shared how we felt in the class. Someone shared her feelings about the harmony in sound therapy and some other raised question about flexibility.
每一個瑜珈體位動作，不是著眼於表象，其實都有一個向內觀的意涵。今天的主題是「我是愛」，在每一個呼吸、動作中，投入「愛」的觀想。在課堂最後三十分鐘，大家一起喝能量水，分享今天課堂的感受。有人說頌缽的音樂真的很寧靜和諧；有人問自己一直很想增加身體的柔軟度，但為什麼練了多年，都好像沒什麼進步？
Our body reacts naturally to sound vibration. That's why when we are in the nature, either by a creek, on the beach or in the forest, the sound of air flowing through leaves or the waves crashing onto seashore soothes and relaxes us right away. The sound from singing bowls is gentle and harmonious. No more words are needed to explain as everyone can feel its healing quality.
我們的身體對聲波會自然地反應。當我們在大自然中，聽聽蟲鳴鳥叫、風兒在樹梢流動、浪濤沖刷海岸，都能立即感到和諧、心曠神怡。而喜馬拉雅頌缽的聲音是非常平和、輕柔的，所以無須言語解釋，當下聽到其妙音，及能感受到那療癒的力量。
In modern Yoga, people seek for flexibility, more ,more and more. However, flexibility in Yoga is a quality. Can we bring this quality out of mat into life? This is the question we should ponder further. On the other hand, without strength, keep pushing on flexibility has its risk on a physical level. Outwardly flexibility should go hand in hand with strengthening; inwardly, we need to keep these two qualities, strength & flexibility, in balance.
在現代的瑜珈世界裡，人們極度講求柔軟度。然而，柔軟度在瑜珈裡應是一種內觀的品質，我們應該思考的是如何將這柔軟的身體轉化成一顆柔轉的心。另一方面，一直不斷拉筋，卻不增強訓練肌耐力，是有可能會造成長期的傷害風險。從身體角度而言，肌耐力與柔軟度的訓練應該要並行；而從內觀而言，力與柔須平衡，方為道。
Thank you so much once more for bringing us such great energy and love today.
再次感謝你們創造如此美麗的空間與寧量！
