Our Inner Fire Blazes
拙火Tummo(東方古老語言)或昆達利尼Kundalini(梵文)是由內在風息或氣離開側脈進入中脈而產生內在熱能的體驗。在哈他瑜伽(描述這個過程的術語)教義中,這是消除誤解的途徑,這種誤解將我們束縛於苦難中;這也引導我們直接體驗現實的終極本質。這種體驗使我們從所有的限制中解脫出來,獲得慈愛心、悲憫心、智慧和極樂的體驗,這些都是瑜伽的明確目標。
Tummo (Tibetan) or Kundalini (Sanskrit) is the experience of an internal heat created by the inner winds or prana leaving the side channels and entering into the central channel. In the teachings of hatha yoga (a term describing this process), this is the gateway to removing the misunderstanding that binds us to suffering and leads us to directly experience the ultimate nature of reality. This experience frees us from all limitations to the experiences of love, compassion, wisdom, and bliss—which are the explicit goals of yoga.
這個概念與許多現代瑜伽方法大相徑庭,但確實代表了已存在數千年的正宗瑜伽文獻,包括我們正在學習的《哈他瑜伽之光》。
This concept is a far cry from many of the modern approaches to yoga, but it does represent the authentic yogic literature that has existed for several thousands of years, including our present book of study, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
拙火的體驗通常被描述為在脊柱底部較低脈輪處產生的熱能,或在肚臍以下幾公分脊柱稍前方產生的熱能。這種熱能可以遍布全身的皮膚表面,也可以抵達中脈深處。這種內在熱能的概念是斯瓦特瑪拉瑪大師這部文本和整套哈他瑜伽的一個重要主題。
Experiences of inner fire are often described as a heat generated at the lower chakras at the base of the spine, or slightly in front of the spine several inches below the navel. This heat may spread throughout the body at the surface level of the skin, or very deeply in the central channel itself. This idea of inner heat is a main topic of Master Swatmarama’s text and of hatha yoga as a whole.
*梵語yoga(瑜伽)一詞來自詞根yuj,意為「連接」或「結合」。在瑜伽的精微解剖學中,有三條主要氣脈。右脈稱為Ha,「哈」脈,左脈稱為Tha,「他」脈。瑜伽的目標是將哈脈和他脈的氣帶入中脈,並在那裡「結合」或「瑜伽」它們。從這裡我們可以看出,哈他瑜伽描述的就是瑜伽的目標。
*The Sanskrit word yoga comes from the root yuj meaning “to join” or “to unite.” In the subtle anatomy of yoga, there are three main channels. The channel on the right is called the Ha channel and the channel on the left is called the Tha channel. The goal of yoga then is to bring the prana from the Ha and the Tha channels into the central channel and to “unite” or yoga them there. Here then we can see that hatha yoga is a description of the goal of yoga.
