[Yoga]從呼吸開始吧-01

想想自己從大學就開始學瑜珈到現在
卻還是半調子一個
中間也是斷斷續續的沒有認真的學
難得現在有機會在愛沙尼亞遇到好老師
又砸了錢報名 覺得自己應該好好來認真一下
就從呼吸開始吧!
PS.把蒐集來的資料放在這裡收藏順便跟大家一起分享

在開始「八支串聯瑜伽」練習之前,有一個非常要緊的重點要注意:它並非印度式的有氧運動!那種健康、有力而美麗的身材,只不過是小副產品罷了。
在「八支串聯瑜伽」體系裡頭,有一些基本技巧可以把體育鍛鍊轉換成靈性的操練。幫你進入能有意識的覺知及導引生命能(prana,宇宙能量)的神秘世界。這些精細的技巧,比那些練健美的還更重要。練這些看不見的才算是瑜伽
而「八支串聯瑜伽」中,有下列這些看不見的重點要練:
1.勝利呼吸法
2.能量收束法
3.凝視法
4.串聯動作
5.體位法

勝利呼吸法
勝利呼吸法是一獨特的呼吸技巧與方法,它接通了無限的生命能(宇宙能量)。
演練此法,最先就可感覺出身體發熱。 雖據說依這種呼吸術,可以起拙火溶化週遭的冰雪。但這技巧卻也給了你足夠內在能量,來應付那些似乎不可能的體能要求。作出高難度的瑜伽體位,在在要耗用大 量的肌肉精力。而肌肉系統獲取精力所需能量即來自生命能,且勝利呼吸法就能給他們足夠的生命能。
勝利呼吸法乃透過鼻孔緩慢的呼吸:約四到五個心跳間隔吸氣,並約四到五個心跳間隔吐氣。這樣在你喉嚨產生低柔溫和的聲音,就像內在海洋的浪濤拍岸聲,隨著呼吸起伏著。只要傾聽這一節奏,你便能沉靜地漂浮過整個瑜伽套路。此法將成為你辨認鍛鍊品質的最好指標過於急促地呼吸聲,表示做的過於猛烈;反之,過於疲軟無力的呼吸聲,則表示當時過於渙散了。把剛、柔、快、慢間,把持得恰到好處,即可進入動禪的境界。 

Ujjayi Pranayama (= breathing)
Ujjayi Pranayama is a special breathing technique. It is a method to get unlimited access to Prana (=universal energy).
Performing it, heat may be your first sensation. It's said, that by this breathing, Yogis can create enough heat to melt snow around them. But this technique also gives you inner energy to master impossible seeming physical efforts. Doing demanding Yoga positions can bee just seen as an result of an huge amount of muscular stamina. But the muscular system gets it s energy for this stamina from Prana and Ujjayi Pranayama gives this Prana to them.
Ujjayi breathing means breathing slowly through your nostrils - about 4 to 5 heartbeats in and about 4 to 5 heartbeats out. Doing this you create a soft and gentle sound in your throat, just like the waves of an inner ocean floating to the coast You hear the same sound inhaling and exhaling. Just listen to this rhythm. You can ride on it gently through your entire practice of Ashtanga Yoga.
The Ujjayi Pranayama will become a guide to tell you about the quality of your practice. A too forceful breathing may point you to a too forceful practice - . a too sleepy and unfocused to an too sleepy and unfocused practice. Keeping the right balance between hard and soft, fast and slow means going in moving meditation.
