我的'圣经'- Inner Engineering: a Yogi's Guide to Joy

自从发现失眠的原因后, 我开始改变以前的急性子, 咖啡没有喝了, 走路慢了, 也开始注意 生活中不经意发生的事, 比如有意注意自己的呼吸, 比如放慢走路的步伐, 注意周围的人和环境, 同时每天都练习 transcendental meditation, 有时有效有时没有. 
前阵在网上找逾迦材料, 看到Sadhguru的几个片子, 非常喜欢, 又到图书借来他的书: Inner Engineering: a Yogi's guide to joy.
这本书从头到尾讲的人生哲学,人体形成的5大元素, 逾迦形式, 如何达到平和开心极乐的心态, 如何自控和放下焦虑抑郁, 如何享受生活, 如何饮食,如何锻炼,如何养生, 如何逾迦. 太喜欢他的书, 准备去买一本, 经常看.......
也就几天, 以前走路很快不注意周围环境的我放慢脚步后竟然发现周围有的同事走的太匆忙, 也开始静心伶听风声雨声小鸟的歌声.
某天上班, 不到2小时应付2个急诊住院及频繁的检查治疗,  接着另一个病人急性心绞痛要找医生做检查找MET....., 每当觉得心跳有点快, 我就提醒自己深呼吸, 真的很有用. 
我还天天听Mantra 音乐做半小时静坐, 时不时收听和做他节目里的逾迦, 这几周睡眠似乎好了很多.
更得益的是我跟老公说, 这本书让我从中性的角度去看事做人, 我会更理解他的做事的角度, 更平常心, 于己于人, 都会得益不少.
今天去看医生, 甲状腺检查没事, 我跟医生讲了自己正在做的事和正在看的书, 她很支持我继续这么做. 她说能这么做的人太少, 否则吃药的人会少很多.
生活中很多事看起来平常的不再平常, 但做起来却不那么容易, 这就是为什么很多人有各种各样的不开心,所谓" 世间本无事, 庸人自扰之"就是这个道理. 然而要做到 be ease and peaceful with yourself 不是那么容易的事. 要慢慢来, 一步步做, 变成一个不为琐事烦恼的人, 做个真正开心快乐的人, 做一个大自然人.
看Sadhguru的录像读他的书是一种心灵和精神享受, 他是个非常有智慧非常幽默的 YOGI. 太多太多经典录像,选几个放这里:

 









书中几段经典:

The only thing that stands between you and your well-being is a simple fact: you have allowed your thoughts and emotions to take instruction from the outside rather than the inside.

The planet is spinning on time: not a small event. All the galaxies are managing fine; the whole cosmos is doing great. But you have one nasty little thought crawling through your head, and it is a bad day! The problem is you are living in a psychological space that bears no connection with reality. And you are insecure, because it can collapse at any moment.

Being responsible is taking ownership of your life. It means you have taken the first radical step to becoming a complete human being—fully conscious and fully human. In taking responsibility and beginning the journey toward conscious living, you are putting an end to the age-old patterns of assigning blame outward or heavenward. You have begun the greatest adventure life has to offer: the voyage inward.

The way you eat not only decides your physical health, but the very way you think, feel, and experience life. Trying to eat intelligently means understanding what kind of fuel this body is designed for and accordingly supplying it, so that it functions at its best.

“One of the biggest problems in the world today is loneliness. It is quite incredible. The planet is teeming with seven billion people, but people are lonely! If someone enjoys being alone, there is no problem at all. But most people are suffering because of it! They are going through serious psychological problems as a consequence. If you are lonely, it is because you have chosen to become an island unto yourself. It doesn’t have to be this way. “I am not responsible” makes you unwilling to get along with anyone—until you can’t even get along with yourself. It often comes to a point when you believe you are not even responsible for what is happening within yourself!
