史湘云：紅樓夢金陵十二釵之一

剛開始看到的是史湘云的大大咧咧，沒有寶釵的那份過于禮教，也沒有黛玉那份小心思細(xì)膩，史湘云有著大咧咧的熱情與歡快，有點(diǎn)男孩子氣，卻也討人愛。有啥說啥也是口無遮攔。

可后來發(fā)現(xiàn)說，表面這么歡快的史姑娘，家里的生活也是難以訴說的。雖然也是富貴之家?？梢?yàn)楦改溉ナ肋^早，在家里面也是受盡了束縛，并沒有過的那般好。什么也都是會(huì)被人記著，使絆子的。沒了父母的庇佑，也只得活的小心翼翼。所以難得來大觀園，或許也是她最美的時(shí)光了。

針線活好，卻也不愿意單個(gè)去為寶玉而作，只覺得襲人姐姐好，要幫助她。從來不會(huì)去區(qū)分對待。給姑娘們的也會(huì)給襲人一份。因?yàn)樾〉臅r(shí)候他們都睡在一起玩在一起長大的，自然有著不一樣的感情。只是，長大之后，襲人明顯有了主仆之分，本本分分規(guī)規(guī)矩矩，反倒讓湘云覺得有些生分，但好在還可以說到一起去。

后來呢，家族敗落，被賣給了船妓，中秋之夜遇到了同樣落魄的寶玉。兩人哭成一團(tuán)，卻也無奈分離。怎奈何，世道炎涼，事事瞬息萬變。

很多人說，最后是史湘云和寶玉在一起，因?yàn)槭废嬖朴薪瘅梓耄鹩衽?。但不論結(jié)果如何，都不重要了。重要的是，我們或許在某個(gè)時(shí)間段都有史湘云的部分，天真快樂而無所顧忌，樂樂呵呵。只是隨著長大遇到的事情，慢慢變得棱角全無了。

愿你我，能夠有自己所自在，不必在乎禮節(jié)的部分的存在，活的熱情而歡快。

【作品學(xué)習(xí)與讀書】

基于空氣元素的練習(xí)，能讓你在世上運(yùn)作的效率更高

Sadhguru:?In the yogic tradition, we refer to air as “vayu,” which not just means air as a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases, but as a dimension of movement. Among the five basic elements – earth, fire, water, air, and ether – which make us and everything in the universe, air is the most accessible and relatively the easiest element to gain reasonable mastery over. Hence, a large number of yogic practices are structured around vayu or air, though in the composition of the body, air makes up only a small percentage.

Sadhguru（薩古魯）：在瑜伽傳統(tǒng)中，我們稱空氣為“vayu”，它不僅僅指氮?dú)?、氧氣、二氧化碳以及其它大氣成分的混合體，也指空氣的流動(dòng)這一維度。在組成我們和宇宙萬物的五個(gè)基本元素——土、火、水、空氣和以太中，空氣是最容易觸及的，相對而言，它也是最容易掌控的。因此，大量的瑜伽練習(xí)都是圍繞著空氣元素來設(shè)計(jì)的，雖然在身體組成中，空氣只占了很小的百分比。

The area between the navel and the pit of the throat is the main activity zone of prana.

肚臍到喉嚨根部之間是生命能量的主要活動(dòng)區(qū)域。

Most of the yogic practices that involve an element of breathing are aimed towards vayu or?prana vayu. Vayu is the element – prana vayu is one of the?pancha pranas. We are in a womb of prana, which is the atmospheric bubble. This larger prana breaks down into eighty-four pranas. Out of these, five pranas can cover the day-to-day requirements of most human beings. These pancha pranas are sufficient to keep your body and mind well, and yourself spiritually alive. Another ten are needed for someone who is into occult practices. The remaining pranas are generally too subtle to explore and experience. The prana vayu is an inward movement between the pit of the throat and the navel. At least sixty percent of the process of?Shakti Chalana Kriya[1]?that we teach is aimed towards prana vayu. We focus on this element because the quality of the air that we breathe and how we breathe largely determines people’s surface experience of life.

大部分運(yùn)用到呼吸的瑜伽練習(xí)都是為了（激活）空氣元素（vayu），或空氣能量（prana vayu）。vayu是指空氣元素——而空氣能量是五大能量（pancha pranas）之一。我們都身在一個(gè)能量子宮中，也就是大氣層這個(gè)泡泡中。這個(gè)更大的能量可以分為84種能量。在這84種能量中，其中有五種能量能滿足大部分人的日常生活需求。這五大能量就足以維持你的身心健康，以及靈性層面的鮮活了。對于從事神秘術(shù)的人來說，還需要另外十種。其他種類的能量通常都太精微，人們難以探索和體驗(yàn)到。空氣能量是人體內(nèi)肚臍到喉嚨根部之間流動(dòng)的一種能量。我們所教授的Shakti Chalana Kriya（Shoonya密集課程中教授的克里亞練習(xí)）中百分之六十的練習(xí)都是為了激活空氣能量。我們之所以專注在這個(gè)元素上是因?yàn)?，我們所呼吸空氣的質(zhì)量以及我們呼吸的方式，很大程度上決定了人們對生命的表層體驗(yàn)。

I would say almost ninety-nine percent of the people today are only concerned about how to navigate their way through the world in a reasonably pleasant and successful manner. There are very few who seek to become perceptive to another dimension of life. In this context, vayu and prana vayu become most significant, because a certain level of mastery over prana instantly enhances the sharpness of the intellect. That means the practice of Shakti Chalana Kriya can leave you a little smarter. Your emotions get a little more stable, organized, and sweet. And you can do some physical activity better than you used to. For most people, these three aspects are all they want in life.

我得說，如今，幾乎百分之九十九的人都只關(guān)心如何以一種比較愉悅，比較成功的方式來穿行于這個(gè)世界。很少有人會(huì)追求對生命其它維度的感知。在這樣的情況下，空氣和空氣能量是非常重要的，因?yàn)槿绻銓δ芰繉?shí)現(xiàn)一定的掌控，你的智力立刻會(huì)變得更加敏銳。這就是說，練習(xí)Shakti Chalana Kriya會(huì)讓你變得更聰明一點(diǎn)，你的情緒也會(huì)變得更穩(wěn)定，更清晰，更甜蜜，你從事某些體力活動(dòng)的能力也會(huì)提高。對于大部分來說，這三個(gè)方面就是他們一生所求了。

The impact of the air that we breathe is very immediate. You can go without food for eight to ten days without causing damage to the system. You can go without water for up to three-and-a-half days without causing damage to the system. But most people can go without air for only three-and-a-half to five minutes. With some practice, you can stay without air for longer periods, but this involves a little bit of cheating. If you manage to keep your metabolic activity very low, you do not need to breathe through your nostrils but you breathe through your skin. As there is perspiration, there is also respiration, or movement of air through the skin. If you substantially activate the prana vayu, you can survive for a longer period of time without breathing through your nostrils.

我們所呼吸的空氣給我們帶來的影響是非常直接的。你或許可以做到八到十天不進(jìn)食都不會(huì)給（身體）系統(tǒng)帶來損害，你或許可以做到三天半不喝水也不會(huì)給系統(tǒng)帶來損害。但如果不呼吸，大部分人都只能堅(jiān)持三分半鐘到五分鐘。如果做一些練習(xí)，你堅(jiān)持的時(shí)間會(huì)長一點(diǎn)，但這里面有小小的作弊成分。如果你將新陳代謝水平維持在很低的水平，你就不需要通過鼻孔呼吸，而是通過皮膚呼吸就可以。皮膚上有排汗系統(tǒng)，也有呼吸，空氣會(huì)通過皮膚進(jìn)出。如果你充分激活空氣能量，不需要通過鼻孔呼吸，你也能存活更長時(shí)間。

Yogic practices that focus on vayu give instant results – especially on the level of your mind and emotions.

專注于空氣元素的瑜伽練習(xí)會(huì)帶來速效，尤其是在頭腦和情感層面上。

In this context, the Shakti Chalana Kriya is a phenomenal practice. We have taught it to a few million people over the years. If all of them had kept it up and grown with it, the world would have changed by now. Growing with it means – if your practice was initially only forty minutes, over time, you extend it to one-and-a-half to two hours. If, let us say, at least one hundred thousand people were doing Shakti Chalana Kriya the way it should be done, it would already change the atmosphere in the world.

從這一點(diǎn)來看，Shakti Chalana Kriya是個(gè)效果顯著的練習(xí)。這些年以來，我們已經(jīng)將它教授給幾百萬人了。如果他們所有人都堅(jiān)持練習(xí)并隨之成長，到目前為止，世界都應(yīng)該已經(jīng)發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)變。隨之成長的意思是，如果一開始，這個(gè)練習(xí)只需要花四十分鐘，一段時(shí)間后，它會(huì)延長到一個(gè)半小時(shí)到兩個(gè)小時(shí)。比如說，哪怕有十萬人在按照正確的方式練習(xí)Shakti Chalana Kriya，那么，這個(gè)世界的氛圍都已經(jīng)發(fā)生了改變。

So, what can we do with air? We can pollute it. We can purify it. Above all, we can use air as a force of transformation in our lives. There is a certain immediacy about air or vayu, which makes it very responsive and gives it the ability to transform or to bring about changes very quickly. And of all the elements, wind is the one that can generate maximum force. That is true both in the outside atmosphere and within the human system. If you learn to activate it, it will make you phenomenally strong – not necessarily in terms of muscular strength but in terms of life. A certain amount of sadhana is needed to activate the prana vayu. The standard is that generally, if you do 1,008 days of Shakti Chalana Kriya without a break, then your prana reaches a certain level of activity. The sheer energy that you carry will set you apart.

所以，我們能對空氣做什么呢？我們能污染空氣，我們能凈化空氣。最重要的是，我們可以將空氣運(yùn)用成我們生命中一股轉(zhuǎn)化的力量。空氣或空氣元素有一定的即時(shí)性，這就賦予了它反應(yīng)敏捷的特征，賦予了它帶來快速轉(zhuǎn)化和轉(zhuǎn)變的能力。而在所有元素中，風(fēng)可以產(chǎn)生最強(qiáng)大的力量。對于外在的空氣和人體系統(tǒng)內(nèi)的空氣都是如此。如果你學(xué)會(huì)去激活它，它就會(huì)讓你變得極其強(qiáng)壯——不一定是指肌肉強(qiáng)健，而是指生命的強(qiáng)壯。要想激活空氣能量，需要進(jìn)行一定量的靈性練習(xí)。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是，通常，如果你連續(xù)練習(xí)Shakti Chalana Kriya1008天不中斷，那么你的能量就會(huì)被激活到一定的程度，攜帶著這種純粹的能量就會(huì)讓你與眾不同。

You will seem to have a limitless amount of energy. There is no such thing as limitless energy, though – only in other people’s perception, it appears like that. If your prana vayu is really active, you will be able to manage your time well. Life is a combination of time and energy. If you keep your energy or the prana vayu very intense, you will seem to have more time. Activity will happen out of the effervescence of your energy, not out of effort. If you keep up the Shakti Chalana Kriya, your ability to be active will increase immensely.

你就會(huì)看似擁有無限的能量。其實(shí)沒有無限的能量這回事，只是在其他人看來，似乎是這樣。如果你的空氣能量被真正激活，你就能很好地把握你的時(shí)間。生命就是時(shí)間和能量的組合。如果你能保持高強(qiáng)度的能量或空氣能量，你的時(shí)間似乎就更充裕了。你會(huì)因?yàn)槟愠渑娴哪芰慷兴鳛?，而不是因?yàn)槟愕呐?。如果你?jiān)持練習(xí)Shakti Chalana Kriya，你保持積極活躍的能力會(huì)大大增強(qiáng)。

Today, an increasing number of people need to take longer breaks from their work, in the sense of sabbaticals and the like. This need arises when you do not manage your prana vayu well, and there are many reasons to it. One thing is – if you eat food that generates gas or air in the lower belly, below the navel or?manipuraka, it disturbs the movement of air or vayu from the navel to the pit of the throat. The area between the navel and the pit of the throat is the main activity zone of prana. When you eat bad food and have gas, you will experience a great lack of energy in the system, because the prana vayu will not function well. You have gotten the air in the wrong place. It should move between the navel and the pit of the throat – in this area, it is powerful.

如今，越來越多的人需要更長的假期，比如公休或類似的休假。之所以會(huì)出現(xiàn)這種需求，是因?yàn)槟銢]有掌控好你的空氣能量，這里面有很多原因。一方面是，如果你吃的食物會(huì)在小腹中、也就是肚臍或臍輪以下的部分產(chǎn)生氣體，它就會(huì)干擾空氣元素從肚臍到喉嚨根部的運(yùn)行。肚臍到喉嚨根部是能量的主要活動(dòng)區(qū)域。你吃進(jìn)變質(zhì)的食物并產(chǎn)生氣體時(shí)，你就會(huì)感覺系統(tǒng)內(nèi)缺乏能量，因?yàn)榭諝饽芰烤蜔o法好好運(yùn)作了。你在錯(cuò)誤的地方產(chǎn)生了空氣。空氣應(yīng)該在肚臍到喉嚨根部之間運(yùn)行——在這個(gè)區(qū)域，就非常強(qiáng)大。

The idea of taking charge of the element of air is to bring about health and an instant sense of wellbeing.

掌控好空氣元素的目的是為了帶來健康和幸福感。

If the prana vayu moves below the navel, the effervescence in life is gone. The body feels like a sack of potatoes. By the way – potatoes literally cause inertia in the system because they lower the prana vayu. And of course, any food that is moving towards putrefaction has the same effect. This includes food that you buy in the supermarket, which is stored for long periods of time, and has no pranic value. Even if it is not yet beyond the expiration date, it is slowly moving towards putrefaction. In the yogic culture, one important aspect of managing the prana vayu is to eat food within an hour-and-a-half, or a maximum of four hours after cooking. Certain substances must be eaten even more quickly, or else they will create gas in the system. Once there is gas in your system, you cannot master your prana vayu.

如果空氣能量在肚臍以下活動(dòng)，生命的活力就消失了。身體就會(huì)像一袋土豆一樣有氣無力。順便提一下——土豆真的會(huì)給系統(tǒng)帶入惰性，因?yàn)樗鼤?huì)降低空氣能量。當(dāng)然，任何即將腐壞的食物也會(huì)帶來同樣的結(jié)果，包括你從超市買來的，已經(jīng)存儲了很長時(shí)間的食物，它們也都沒有能量價(jià)值。即便它還在有效期內(nèi)，也是在慢慢地一步一步變壞。在瑜伽文化中，要掌控好空氣能量，一個(gè)很重要的方面就是，食物烹煮好之后要在一個(gè)半小時(shí)以內(nèi)進(jìn)食，最多不能超過四個(gè)小時(shí)。有些食物甚至要更快進(jìn)食，否則它們就會(huì)在系統(tǒng)內(nèi)產(chǎn)生氣體。一旦你系統(tǒng)內(nèi)有了氣體，你就無法掌控你的空氣能量。

Not only yogic practices – even the way you keep yourself, the way you breathe, walk, sit, and stand can help you gain a certain amount of control over prana vayu. Every human being has some control over the five elements – otherwise, you would not be alive. For life to move to a higher possibility, having mastery over the elements is important. Vayu or air is the best dimension to work with for part-time yogis, because it is relatively easy to master. Yogic practices that focus on vayu give instant results – especially on the level of your mind and emotions. By increasing the prana vayu, you can solve mental problems. The mind will get much more organized. But even if you master the element of air, your karmic mill will still keep rolling. Generally, it will move even faster than before, because it has a clear run now. That means your karma is getting worked out faster – but you may have a more eventful life.

不僅僅是瑜伽練習(xí)——甚至是你日常生活的方式，你呼吸，走路的方式，你的坐姿，站姿都會(huì)有助于你一定程度上掌控prana vayu。每個(gè)人對這五大元素都有一些掌控度，否則，你就不會(huì)活著了。為了讓生命實(shí)現(xiàn)更高可能性，掌控這些元素是很重要的。對于兼職瑜伽士來說，空氣元素是下功夫的最好的地方，因?yàn)樗容^容易掌控。那些專注在空氣上的瑜伽練習(xí)會(huì)帶來速效，尤其是在頭腦和情感層面上。通過提升空氣能量，你可以解決各種心理問題，頭腦的條理性會(huì)大大提升。但即便你掌控了空氣元素，你的業(yè)力工廠還是會(huì)不停運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)著。通常而言，它甚至?xí)纫酝\(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)得更快，因?yàn)樗F(xiàn)在運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)起來更輕快了。這就意味著，你的業(yè)力在加速消解——但你人生中的大事件可能就多了。

The idea of taking charge of the element of air is to bring about health and an instant sense of wellbeing. If you activate vayu and it reaches a certain peak, naturally?agni?or the fire element will follow to some extent – maybe to twenty-five to thirty percent. If you have mastery over the element of air, the element of fire will partially come along with it. A lot of people lack fire, which is a big problem in life. They may do things, but nothing will come out of it. Once the fire is on, you are much better than the way you were. Though fire only makes up a small percentage of the human system, in many ways, it is everything. It also gets you closer to the subtle element of ether.

掌控空氣元素是為了帶來健康和幸福感。如果你將空氣元素激活到一個(gè)巔峰，agni，也就是火元素自然會(huì)隨之增長——也許到25-30%。如果你掌控了空氣元素，火元素就會(huì)隨之增長。很多人都缺乏火，這是他們生命中的一個(gè)大問題。他們可能做了一些事情，但一無所成。一旦火元素上來了，你的狀態(tài)會(huì)大大改善。雖然火元素只占人體系統(tǒng)組成的很小比例，從很多方面來說，它就是一切。它也能讓你更加靠近以太這個(gè)精微的元素。

Vayu has a great influence on all the day-to-day things that people aspire for. The process of activating vayu is an important step in one’s growth. Vayu-based practices can bring you a higher level of intellectual capability, energy, and effectiveness in the world.

空氣元素對于人們?nèi)粘Ｗ非蟮氖挛镉兄薮蟮挠绊懥?。在一個(gè)人的成長過程中，激活空氣元素是非常重要的一步?；诳諝庠氐木毩?xí)能為你帶來更高的智力、能量，能讓你在世上運(yùn)作的效率更高。

【思考】

欺騙：

昨天是315，很多不合格的物品陸續(xù)被爆出來，也是對消費(fèi)者的一種欺騙。

不合格的產(chǎn)品、物品，因?yàn)楸贿^度包裝、過度宣傳，吸引了一大批人來用，來買。

但為什么孩子不停的出類似的這些事情呢？

無非是利益的一種極大追求，同時(shí)又要滿足消費(fèi)者需求。消費(fèi)者想要的永遠(yuǎn)是便宜好用，但這么完美的想法很多時(shí)候會(huì)因?yàn)槭艿较拗撇粫?huì)那么完美的實(shí)現(xiàn)。于是生產(chǎn)者自然學(xué)會(huì)了如何偷工減料來實(shí)現(xiàn)所謂的便宜好用。卻致使消費(fèi)者受騙，用到了不合格的物品。

其實(shí)在這個(gè)欺騙當(dāng)中也是一種博弈。

這個(gè)博弈就是，你相不相信天下掉餡餅，或者說你相不相信某種廣告的威力對你的影響。信了便被忽悠了。但你哪怕不信，也會(huì)被周邊人安利，被廣告所洗腦。打開電視劇，處處布滿著廣告。滿大街的也都是廣告。

所以，之所以會(huì)因?yàn)檫@些欺騙人們的東西存在，就是因?yàn)橛欣汕?，甚至可能是暴利，而沒有思考說是否做的安心，是否真的合規(guī)。當(dāng)然了，還有很多的潛臺詞，內(nèi)行話。聽不懂的人自然就被忽悠了，卻不自知。

所以某種程度上來講，有時(shí)候也會(huì)有點(diǎn)自欺欺人的作用。你相信，有你相信的理由和解釋。不相信也有不相信的理由和解釋。很多的不合格，也不一定一直不合格，偶爾不合格也是存在的，一直不合格的也有。需要更深入探索的是，這些不合格背后到底是什么在驅(qū)使人們不斷的購買或不斷的制造這些不合格的產(chǎn)品。因?yàn)槭袌鲂枨?。所以正?guī)的解決需求問題，同時(shí)規(guī)范化管理，或許可以減緩很多不必要事情的發(fā)生。但有些時(shí)候，不是所有物品都要去檢測的，就好比路邊攤的煎餅，看似不合格卻不會(huì)有人在乎，因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)候就是吃的那份市井習(xí)氣。所以也就不算做欺騙了。如果你讓著這些人還要去做個(gè)檢測啥的，無異于告訴他們別賺錢了一樣。

所以，可能因?yàn)樽鋈魏问虑槎夹枰粋€(gè)起點(diǎn)，而站在不同點(diǎn)上的人總會(huì)想方設(shè)法利益最大化，因而引發(fā)一些欺騙行為。還有就是場子大了，自然什么情況都會(huì)出現(xiàn)，避免不了，這也就是當(dāng)場景多到幾百萬上億的時(shí)候，小概率事情也是回發(fā)生的一樣。

所以，最佳的方式不是去聽別人的安利，而是自我尋找那個(gè)適合自己的部分，固定自己的范圍，不隨人走，而是跟隨自己的方向走，就不容易被帶偏，跑掉，或容易上當(dāng)受騙了。自我的堅(jiān)定是很難被動(dòng)搖的。

【每日一句】

體驗(yàn)合一

【夢境】

不怎么記得住了

【每日反思與改過】

昨晚熟睡當(dāng)中，突然感覺刺眼的光，就醒了。發(fā)現(xiàn)不知道何時(shí)舍友打開了燈，不知道坐在那里干嘛。那一刻真的特別惱人，因?yàn)槭焖?dāng)中被吵醒真的是有想罵人的沖動(dòng)。然后翻來覆去一會(huì)才又睡過去。后來想想可能舍友有重要時(shí)間處理所以開了燈吧，也還好了。不應(yīng)該當(dāng)時(shí)那么氣。
