引言
Introduction
瑜伽的旅程並不是一種線性的體驗，而且也似乎沒有明確的進步與成功的路標，來標記我們的進展。當我們陷入自身體驗的中心時，便很難評估自己的成長。我們問自己：「我已經走到一半了嗎？與五年前相比，今年我離目標有多近？我是否應該為一個結果去努力，又或者結果的本身就是某種障礙？」
Traveling the path of yoga is not a linear experience and it can seem like there are no clear signposts of progress and success to mark our progress. While we are caught in the center of our own experience, it can be difficult to assess our growth. We ask ourselves, “Have I made it halfway yet? How much closer to the goal am I this year than I was five years ago? Should I even be striving for a result, or is that some sort of obstacle in and of itself?”
斯瓦特瑪拉瑪大師給出了表明練習有效的八個跡象，為我們在不確定時指引方向。這八種跡象本身並不是目標，而是讓我們能夠確信自己走在正確的軌道上，鼓勵我們繼續前進的指標。從這些徵兆中，我們可以獲得啓發：如果我們以正確的方式繼續下去，長期堅持，並勤勉練習，以免在踐行中出現不當中斷的情況，便會達到我們所尋求的結果。
Master Swatmarama helps us navigate this uncertainty by giving us eight indications that our practice is working. These eight signs are not goals in per se, but rather indicators that reassure us that we are on the right track and encourage us to keep going. From these signs we can take inspiration that if we continue properly, with persistence over time, and with diligence preventing undue gaps in our practice, we will achieve the results we seek.
大師所列的八大跡象是：
The eight signs that the Master lists are—
(1) 身體輕盈
our body becomes lean
(2) 容光煥發
our face takes on a glow
(3) 神聖聲音顯現
divine sound is revealed to us
(4) 眼睛明亮
our physical eyes become strong
(5) 常處於健康狀態
we're always healthy
(6) 有力量控制內在明點
we have power over the inner drops
(7) 拙火熊熊燃燒
our inner fire blazes
(8) 內在氣脈完全純淨
the inner channels become completely pure.
在本文中，我們將介紹成功的第一種徵兆，以下的七種，會在接下來的七天裡介紹。
In this article, we’ll cover the first sign of success. Over the next seven days, we’ll review the remaining 7 signs.
