外面下著雨 初春的雨
已入夜 但仍不停的落下
空氣裡 有些微潮溼的分子 但並不膩或重 令人安心的氛圍
這一陣子來 極度的想要安靜 空出空間 時間
工作之外 只想空白 不用刻意安排這事那事
放輕鬆其實是不容易的 甚至是奢侈的事
在城市裡生活 要保持生活的運作就要不停的忙
心境卻不全然要落入重覆設限的模式
往內找尋安靜 帶出輕快安穩步伐的韻律
做什麼事都可以不慌不忙一件一件來 自自然然

原來
時間過的這麼的飛快
原來 這麼久沒讓自己好好坐下來 跟自己對話
多麼想念 渴望這安靜 但我讓自己不停的忙 放不下的忙
忙著什麼呢
好想好想清靜 透徹的 輕 淨
想擺開心裡的束縛 我知道我是值得幸福的
但時間還未到吧 還是試煉的時候 還有一些揹著的包袱
拖繭而出不是容易的事
如果不夠勇敢 很容易又會回到退步的原點 而我不想這樣
生活裡的沈重是日積月累的
倘若每一天都是好好的面對 就不會累積什麼逃避的心情 人 事 物
想要大清掃一番
想要乾淨的空間 在內在外
想要回歸修行
與其想著身外事 我想往內行走 往內清潔 往內釋然
Niyamas
我需要這樣的再開始
with love, acceptance, forgiveness
I want to polish my light

Summary of the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra
We worship Shiva - The Three-Eyed Lord
Whose eyes are the Sun, Moon and Fire
Who is fragrant and nourishes all beings;
May he protect us from all disease, poverty and fear
And bless us with prosperity, longevity and health.
May he liberate us from death,
For the sake of immortality;
As the ripened cucumber is automatically liberated,
From its bondage from the creeper when it fully ripens.
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is a prayer to Lord Shiva (part of the hindu trinity, the lord of destruction, penance and meditation) for help in overcoming "death". The seeker is more concerned with avoiding spiritual "death" rather than physical "death". The mantra is a request to Lord Shiva to lead us to the mountain of meditation, which is indeed Lord Shiva's abode. Legend has it that Lord Shiva appeared before his devotee Markandeya (who was destined to die at the age of sixteen) and stopped his aging process a few days before he was supposed to turn sixteen. Thus, death would never be able to claim him! Hence, this mantra is also referred to as the Markandeya mantra in classical hindu studies. The mantra should ideally be repeated 108 times, twice daily, at dawn and at dusk.

Significance of Mrityunjaya Mantra
The Maha Mrityunjay is a mantra that is said to rejuvenate, bestow health, wealth, a long life, peace, propsperity and contentment. The Mantra is a centuries old technique of connecting one to pure consciousness and bliss.
The prayer is addressed to LORD SHIVA. By chanting this Mantra, Divine vibrations are generated which ward off all the negative and evil forces and create a powerful protective shield. And it is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind. It is a vibration that pulsates through every cell, every molecule of our body and tears away the veil of ignorance. It ignites a fire within us that consumes all our negativity and purifies our entire system. It is also said to have a powerful healing of diseases declared uncurable even by the doctors. It is a Mantra to conquer death and connects us to our own inner divinity.
Known as the Moksha Mantra of Lord Shiva, Maha Mrityunjay evokes the Shiva within and removes the fear of death, liberating one from the cycle of death and rebirth.
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is very much a protector from accidents, mishaps and daily calamities in the modern busy life.
When to chant :
Chanting the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra with sincerity, faith and devotion in Bramha Muhurata is very beneficial. But one can also chant it anytime in a pure environment with great benefit and discover the happiness that's already within.
This Maha Mirityunyaya Mantra is a life giving mantra. It is a mantra to keep us safe from harm, safely in the arms of the Lord. It has a great curative effect, against diseases of body and mind, if it is chanted with sincerity, faith and devotion. In these days, when life is very complex and accidents are an everyday affair, this holy Mantra comes to your rescue. It wards off death by snake-bits, lightning, water accidents, motor accidents, air accidents, and accidents of all kinds. Besides, It has a great curative power.

It is also a Moksha-Mantra. It is Lord Shiva� mantra. It bestows health (Arogya), long life (Durgha Ayus), peace (Shanti), wealth (Aishwarya), prosperity (Rishti), satisfaction (Tushti) and immortality (Moksha).
On your birthday, repeat this Mantra with faith. It will bestow long life. You may repeat also at bed-side of alling persons.
To chant with the mantra or to have it playing in the background can be helpful in everyway as we allow its influence to permeate our consciousness
UNDERSTAND THE MAHAMANTRA
It is important to understand the meaning of the words as this makes the repetition meaningful and brings forth the results.
OM is not spelt out in the Rig-Veda, but has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given in an earlier Mantra of the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati. This Mantra is given in the Prayer page of my Book "Maharishi Jaimini's Upadesa Sutra".
TRYAMBAKKAM refers to the Three eyes of Lord Shiva. 'Trya' means 'Three' and 'Ambakam' means eyes. These three eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimurti or three primary deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and the three 'AMBA' (also meaning Mother or Shakti' are Saraswati, Lakshmi and Gouri. Thus in this word, we are referring to God as Omniscient (Brahma), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This is the wisdom of Brihaspati and is referred to as Sri Duttatreya having three heads of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
YAJAMAHE means, "We sing Thy praise".
SUGANDHIM refers to His fragrance (of knowledge, presence and strength i.e. three aspects) as being the best and always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing, seeing or feeling His virtuous deeds.
PUSTIVARDHANAM: Pooshan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world and in this manner, He is the Father (Pater) of all. Pooshan is also the inner impeller of all knowledge and is thus Savitur or the Sun and also symbolizes Brahma the Omniscient Creator. In this manner He is also the Father (Genitor) of all.
URVAAROKAMEVA: 'URVA' means "VISHAL" or big and powerful or deadly. 'AAROOKAM' means 'Disease'. Thus URVAROOKA means deadly and overpowering diseases. (The CUCUMBER interpretation given in various places is also correct for the word URVAROOKAM, but not apt for this mantra). The diseases are also of three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the three Guna's and are ignorance (Avidya etc), falsehood (Asat etc as even though Vishnu is everywhere, we fail to perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other senses) and weaknesses (Shadripu etc. a constraint of this physical body and Shiva is all powerful).
BANDANAAM means bound down. Thus read with URVAROOKAMEVA, it means 'I am bound down by deadly and overpowering diseases'.
MRITYORMOOKSHEYA means to deliver us from death (both premature death in this Physical world and from the neverending cycle of deaths due to re-birth) for the sake of Mokshya (Nirvana or final emancipation from re-birth).
MAAMRITAAT means 'please give me some Amritam (life rejuvinating nectar). Read with the previous word, it means that we are praying for some 'Amrit' to get out of the death inflicting diseases as well as the cycle of re-birth.

美麗的印記
Stay close to the teacher and teaching that resonate with you. Unlearn to learn, step into the Grace of the Guru, surrender and trust the teaching. Let go and fall into the river of spirit and energy.
-Stephen Thomas
貼近你心靈的上師，貼近與你有著共鳴的教學。學習去釋放所學，再進一步的學習，步入上師的恩典裡，相信、臣服於他的教誨。放開一切，溶入靈性與能量的河流裡。
春天是綻放曙光和新生命的季節，這時節帶來無限可能性、希望和夢想的生機，也正是在這個時候，我生命中重要的老師出現了，而我清醒舒服的行走在自然適合我的法性上。當我聽著 Stephen 說出上面的一段話時，我知道我回到了家，不需再往他處尋尋覓覓，因為當我準備好敞開學習的心，所有的教學便一一隨之而來。我很開心這份親近心靈恩典的到來，透過呼吸法、梵唱、瑜珈經學說、以及阿育吠陀養生學、基礎體位法、潔淨法、冥想的練習，將愛、慈悲和古老的智慧融合為一。
在TT 第一日，一整天喜悅的漣漪朵朵在心裡漾起，感受到自己再自然不過的完整存在於學習裡，打從深刻的內在覺得光亮溫暖，與自己的神性和超出本我之外的神聖能量連結。穩穩扎根在生命的呼吸裡，跟真實合而為一是如此的美麗。隨著一天天的學習和體會，知識像花瓣般一層層的從中心展開、疊起。從這次的培訓中我獲得一個珍貴的領悟，那就是帶著柔和的心練習，柔和在仁慈、尊重、不批判。將意念臣服於善，讓內在的老師引導方向。 信任、愛、呼吸到心的中央，放開自我、讓靈性闊展開來。持續不間斷的練習，因為用心付出的心力是不會消失的。
深深感謝太陽神 Surya、創造與毀滅之神 Shiva、大地之母 Parvati 、知識女神 Sarasvati 、守護之神 Vishnu、除障象神 Ganesha、火神 Agni 和風神之子 Hanuman，祂們所指引的光；也誠摯的向延續傳承古典教學的老師的老師們致敬。非常謝謝 Stephen，我們敬愛的導師，謝謝妳乃珍、Rachel、Judy、Michelle 和每一位親愛的TT靈性摯友美好的存在，多得我們一起創造如此充滿愛的美麗印記。我想要祝福大家源源不絕的愛與靈感，真摯希望我們能帶著光亮與所有的人分享我們自學習中獲得的禮物。
