Health and fitness are just the side-benefits of Hatha Yoga. Classical Hatha Yoga is a powerful system to prepare the system for a 'cosmic download' and explore our full potential.

健康和健身只是哈他瑜伽的副作用。古典哈他瑜伽是一個強(qiáng)大的系統(tǒng)，為“宇宙下載”做準(zhǔn)備，并探索我們的全部潛力。

In this comprehensive guide to the fundamentals of hatha yoga, yogi and mystic Sadhguru introduces us to this phenomenal science. In a series of articles, he corrects many misunderstandings about the process and explores how we can reap the maximum benefits hatha yoga has to offer.

在這個哈他瑜伽基礎(chǔ)的全面指南中，神秘家瑜伽士薩古魯給我們介紹了這一現(xiàn)象科學(xué)。在一系列的文章中，薩古魯糾正了對這個過程的許多誤解，并探討了我們?nèi)绾尾拍塬@得哈他瑜伽所能提供的最大好處。

Sadhguru: When you experience everything as oneness in your consciousness, then you are in yoga. To attain that unity within you, there are many ways. You work with the body, then you move to the breath, then to the mind, then to the inner self. Like this, many steps have been created, but they are only different facets of yoga. It is important that all of them are addressed in a very balanced way, all at once, as one single unit. There is really no division as such; yoga employs all aspects of who you are.

薩古魯:當(dāng)你在你的意識中體驗(yàn)每件事為一體時(shí)，你就在瑜伽中。要達(dá)到內(nèi)在的合一，有很多方法。你與身體一起工作，然后你轉(zhuǎn)向呼吸，然后轉(zhuǎn)向思想，然后轉(zhuǎn)向內(nèi)在的自我。就像這樣，許多步驟被創(chuàng)造出來，但它們只是瑜伽的不同方面。重要的是，所有這些都是以一種非常平衡的方式同時(shí)作為一個單獨(dú)的部分來運(yùn)作。實(shí)際上沒有這樣單獨(dú)的劃分；瑜伽運(yùn)作了你的方方面面。

The body is a very large part of who you are right now. The science of using the body to hasten your evolutionary process is hatha yoga. The body itself has its own attitudes, its own ego, its own nature. Let us say you decided, “Starting tomorrow, I will get up at five in the morning and go for a walk.” You set the alarm. The alarm rings. You want to get up, but your body says, “Shut up and sleep.” It has its own way, doesn’t it? Hatha yoga is a way of working with the body, a way of disciplining, purifying and preparing the body for higher levels of energy and possibilities.

身體是你現(xiàn)在存在的很大一部分。利用身體來加速你進(jìn)化過程的科學(xué)是哈他瑜伽。身體本身有它自己的態(tài)度，它自己的自我，它自己的屬性。讓我們假設(shè)你決定，“從明天開始，我將在早上5點(diǎn)起床去散步?！澳阍O(shè)置了鬧鐘。鬧鐘響了。你想起床，但是你的身體說:“把鬧鐘關(guān)掉睡覺。”“它有它自己的方式，不是嗎?”哈他瑜伽是與身體一起工作的方法，一種訓(xùn)練、凈化和準(zhǔn)備好身體去到更高維度能量可能性的方法。

The Science of Hatha Yoga

哈他瑜伽科學(xué)

Hatha yoga is not exercise. Understanding the mechanics of the body, creating a certain atmosphere, and then using body postures to drive your energy in specific directions is what hatha yoga or yogasanas are about. “Asana” means a “posture.” That kind of posture which allows you to reach your higher nature is a yogasana. There are other dimensions to this, but to put it in the simplest way, just by observing the way someone is sitting, you can almost know what is happening with him, if you have known him long enough. If you have observed yourself, when you are angry, you sit one way; if you are happy, you sit another way; if you are depressed, you sit another way. For every different level of consciousness or mental and emotional situation that you go through, your body naturally tends to assume certain postures. The converse of this is the science of asanas. If you consciously get your body into different postures, you can elevate your consciousness.

哈他瑜伽不是運(yùn)動。理解身體的機(jī)制，創(chuàng)造一種特定的氛圍，然后用身體姿勢把你的能量推向特定的方向，這就是哈他瑜伽或瑜伽體式的意義所在。Asana的意思是“姿勢”?！斑@種讓你達(dá)到更高本質(zhì)的姿勢就是瑜伽體式。還有其他的維度，但是用最簡單的方式來說，僅僅通過觀察一個人坐著的方式，你幾乎可以知道他發(fā)生了什么，如果你認(rèn)識他足夠久的話。如果你觀察過自己，當(dāng)你生氣的時(shí)候，你以一種方式坐著;如果你快樂，你就換一種方式坐著;如果你感到沮喪，你就再換一種坐姿。對于你所經(jīng)歷的每一種不同層次的意識或精神和情感狀況，你的身體自然傾向于采取特定的姿勢。這就是瑜伽體式科學(xué)。如果你有意識地讓你的身體進(jìn)入不同的姿勢，你可以提高你的意識。

Dedicating a certain amount of effort and time to see that the body does not become a barrier is important.

花一定的精力和時(shí)間來確保身體不成為障礙是很重要的。

The body can become a means for your spiritual growth or it can become a major barrier. Suppose some part of your body – your hand, leg or back, for instance – is hurting. When it is hurting badly it is hard to aspire for anything higher because that becomes the biggest thing. Right now if you have a backache, the biggest thing in the universe is your backache.

身體可以成為你精神成長的一種方式，也可以成為一個主要的障礙。假設(shè)你身體的某個部位—比如你的手、腿或后背—正在疼痛。當(dāng)它受到嚴(yán)重傷害時(shí)，你很難去追求更高的目標(biāo)，因?yàn)槟菍⒊蔀樽畲蟮氖虑椤，F(xiàn)在，如果你背痛，世界上最大的事情就是背痛。

 Other people may not understand that, but for the person who is going through it, that is the biggest thing. Even if God appears you will ask for your backache to go! You will not ask for anything else because the physical body has such a power over you. If it is not functioning well, it can take away all other aspirations from your life. Whatever you may fancy, all your longings just disappear once the body starts hurting – because to look beyond that takes an enormous amount of strength, which most people do not possess.

其他人可能不理解這一點(diǎn)，但對于正在經(jīng)歷這一過程的人來說，這是最大的事情。即使上帝出現(xiàn)，你也會要求背痛消失！你不會要求任何其他東西，因?yàn)樯眢w對你有這樣的力量。如果它不能很好地運(yùn)作，它可以帶走你生活中所有其他的愿望。不管你怎么想，一旦身體開始受傷，你所有的渴望就消失了——因?yàn)橐氤剿?，需要巨大的力量，而這是大多數(shù)人所不具備的。

There are thousands of people who have come out of spinal problems by doing simple asanas. Doctors had told them they would definitely have to go through a surgery, but they never had to. Your back can be restored to such an excellent condition that you will never need to go to a chiropractor. It is not only your spine that becomes flexible; you also become flexible. Once you are flexible, you are willing to listen, not just to someone’s talk; you are willing to listen to life. Learning to listen is the essence of a sensible life.

有成千上萬的人通過做簡單的體式來擺脫脊柱問題。醫(yī)生告訴他們，他們肯定要做手術(shù)，但他們從來沒有這樣做過。你的背部可以恢復(fù)到這樣一個極好的狀態(tài)，你將永遠(yuǎn)不需要去找一個脊椎按摩師。不僅是你的脊柱變得柔韌，你也變得柔韌。一旦你變得靈活，你就愿意傾聽，而不僅僅是別人的談話；你愿意傾聽生活。學(xué)會傾聽是理智生活的本質(zhì)。

Dedicating a certain amount of effort and time to see that the body does not become a barrier is important. A painful body can become a major obstacle, and so can a compulsive body. Simple compulsions, whether they are about the body wanting to relieve itself or of lust, can rule you so strongly that they will not allow you to look beyond; the physical body becomes a major entity. Body is only a part of you; it should not become the whole of you. Asanas level the body down to its natural place.

花一定的精力和時(shí)間來確保身體不成為障礙是很重要的。痛苦的身體會成為主要的障礙，強(qiáng)迫性的身體也會有障礙。簡單的強(qiáng)迫行為，無論是關(guān)于身體想要釋放自己還是欲望，都可以如此強(qiáng)烈地控制你，以至于不允許你超越;肉體成為一個主要的實(shí)體。身體只是你的一部分;它不應(yīng)該成為你的全部。瑜伽體式會平衡你的身體去到一個自然的位置。

Hatha Yoga Prepares the Body

哈他瑜伽為身體做準(zhǔn)備

Another aspect of hatha yoga, when one wants to move into deeper dimensions of meditation, is that it allows for a higher possibility of energy. If you want your energies to surge upwards, it is very important that the pipeline of the body is conducive. If it is blocked, it will not work, or else, something will burst. Preparing the body sufficiently before one goes into more intense forms of meditation is very important. Hatha yoga ensures that the body takes it gently and joyfully.

哈他瑜伽的另一個方面是，當(dāng)你想進(jìn)入冥想的更深維度時(shí)，它允許更高的能量可能性。如果你想讓你的能量向上涌動，身體的管道很重要。如果它被阻塞了，它就不能工作，否則就會發(fā)生沖突。在進(jìn)入更強(qiáng)烈的冥想之前，充分準(zhǔn)備好身體是非常重要的。哈他瑜伽確保身體能輕快快樂地接受它。

Hatha yoga does not mean twisting your body, standing on your head, or holding your breath.

哈他瑜伽并不意味著扭動身體、倒立或屏住呼吸。

For a lot of people, spiritual growth happens very painfully because the necessary preparation does not happen. Most human beings have unfortunately let themselves live in a condition where the external situations mold them and direct them. Whether it is wisdom of the world or spiritual possibilities, they get the point only when they are knocked around by life. Even then, only some become wise; others become wounded.

對很多人來說，靈性上的成長是非常痛苦的，因?yàn)闆]有做好必要的準(zhǔn)備。不幸的是，大多數(shù)人都讓自己生活在一個由外部環(huán)境塑造和指導(dǎo)的環(huán)境中。無論是世界上的智慧，還是靈性上的可能性，只有當(dāng)他們被生活擊倒時(shí)，他們才會明白這一點(diǎn)。即使這樣，也只有少數(shù)人有智慧意識到;別人還是會受傷。

It is this possibility of transforming a potential wound into a source of wisdom that leads one to a state of freedom. If one has put in the necessary preparation, it can be a very pleasant and wonderful experience of growth. But for a majority of the people in the world, growth happens painfully; very few people grow blissfully. It is becoming a norm in the world that growth must be painful. It can be done blissfully, but because both the body and mind have not been prepared, all change happens painfully. So, asanas prepare you for growth and transformation by equipping you with a solid foundation.

正是這種將潛在的創(chuàng)傷轉(zhuǎn)化為智慧之源的可能性，會使人達(dá)到自由的狀態(tài)。如果一個人已經(jīng)做了必要的準(zhǔn)備，它可以是一個非常愉快和美妙的成長經(jīng)歷。但對世界上大多數(shù)人來說，成長是痛苦的;很少有人能幸福地成長。這已成為世界上的一種常態(tài)認(rèn)為成長必須伴隨痛苦。其實(shí)這可以幸福地發(fā)生，但是因?yàn)樯眢w和頭腦都沒有準(zhǔn)備好，所有的改變都發(fā)生在痛苦之中。所以，體式為你的成長和轉(zhuǎn)變做好準(zhǔn)備，為你轉(zhuǎn)化自己打下堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。

Today, the hatha yoga that people are learning is not in its classical form, not in its full depth and dimension. Largely the “studio yoga” that you are seeing today is unfortunately just the physical aspect of it. Just teaching the physical aspect of yoga is like having a stillborn baby. That is not only no good, it is a tragedy. If you want a live process, it needs to be taught in a certain way.

今天，人們正在學(xué)習(xí)的哈他瑜伽不是古典瑜伽，也不是以全面的深度和維度在做傳播。很大程度上你今天看到的“瑜伽工作室”教授的瑜伽不幸的只是身體層面。僅僅教瑜伽的身體層面就像生了一個死胎。這不僅不好，而且是一場悲劇。如果你想要一個活生生的過程，就需要用某種方式來傳播。

Hatha yoga does not mean twisting your body, standing on your head, or holding your breath. There was a time when I was personally teaching hatha yoga as a two-day program. People would burst with joy; tears of ecstasy would flow simply doing asanas. That is the way yoga needs to be done. Unfortunately, the hatha yoga in the world today brings peace for some, is healthful for others is and a painful circus for many.Most yogis just use the simple postures to break the limitations of who they are. That is all I learned when I was eleven years of age – just a few simple postures. It is just the way it is done that makes the difference.

哈他瑜伽并不意味著扭動身體、倒立或屏住呼吸。有一段時(shí)間，我親自教授哈他瑜伽作為一個為期兩天的項(xiàng)目。人們欣喜若狂；狂喜的淚水會隨著做瑜伽體式而流淌。這就是瑜伽需要做的。不幸的是，今天世界上的哈他瑜伽給一些人帶來了和平，對其他人來說是健康的，對許多人來說是痛苦的馬戲團(tuán)。大多數(shù)瑜伽士只是使用簡單的姿勢就打破了他們的局限。這就是我11歲時(shí)學(xué)到的所有東西—只是一些簡單的姿勢。正是這樣做才會發(fā)生很大的不同。
