But what you cannot see is that my massage partner’s legs are even longer. See them in the pic? Of course you cannot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, I should be as serious as I am professional (it is what I am trying to affirm myself each day right now)! Let’s talk about the pic this time. What are we doing? Doesn’t it look like a murder scene? Or that I am trying to kill, if not hurting her? But wait! why does she look so comfortable?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because, in fact, she is enjoying the pleasure of pressure- I am using my body weight to press on her back, right after finishing the thai fish. This sequence is called the“elephant walk”, though it looks more like a walking downward-dog in yoga! But the name cannot be more correct and precise – like having an elephant on your back, this pose heavily and effectively PRESS and SQUEEZE your back muscles, which are mostly tight and weak for common sedentary people. Other than releasing the tightness of the back muscles, its main benefit is to improve the circulation of blood flow on the back, while pushing all the CO2 out of your lungs- you would not believe it until you try it yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh! I love cooking the thai fish, but I also love this elephant. But this time, knowing how pleasurable it is, I love to be a receiver better!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warning: like doing downward-dog, arms should be straight and shoulders should be externally rotated all the time while acting like an elephant on someone’s back, otherwise ( such as if your bend your elbow and or not opening your chest enough), not only the receiver will not enjoy the pleasure of pressure, the giver might hurt her shoulders joints as the result of this unstable position and wrong body mechanic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-3365678174260221669?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/3365678174260221669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=3365678174260221669&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/3365678174260221669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/3365678174260221669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2008/05/thai-elephant.html' title='Thai elephant泰象行'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SByY4YxNsxI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/v5MYmQlWGYE/s72-c/080427%E6%8C%89%E6%91%A9+003+small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-6634081901780546958</id><published>2008-05-01T23:12:00.009+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T12:28:07.533+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thai yoga massage'/><title type='text'>Thai fish + cobra泰飛魚與眼鏡蛇</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SByNa4xNswI/AAAAAAAAAOI/nbI2slN5BWI/s1600-h/080427ææ©+011+small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196183563133629186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SByNa4xNswI/AAAAAAAAAOI/nbI2slN5BWI/s320/080427%E6%8C%89%E6%91%A9+011+small.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SByMuYxNsvI/AAAAAAAAAOA/VsnSeUnTGSM/s1600-h/080427ææ©+001_small.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196182798629450482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SByMuYxNsvI/AAAAAAAAAOA/VsnSeUnTGSM/s320/080427%E6%8C%89%E6%91%A9+001_small.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;See? I am obsessed. I can’t take the fish pose out of my head and I am sure I will keep thinking about it until it is all written down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between thai-yoga fish pose and yoga cobra pose is that, with the assistance of a giver, the fish pose is more powerful than the cobra pose. The giver, while kneeling on the back of the receiver, uses her body as leverage to lift the receiver up by leaning backward, the receiver then “uses” the giver also as leverage to lift up herself more easily and effectively. The result is that the cobra pose originally in yoga, become more powerful: the receiver can almost effortlessly enjoy the benefits of the cobra pose without needing to engage too much of her arms muscles to get into the final pose; at the same time, the “leverage” from the back (i.e. the giver) enables the receiver to open her chest into a deeper level. As a result, the receiver will be able to lengthen more of her front deltoid and pectoralis major, whilst engaging the mid-trapezius to make it stronger to counter balance the collapse of the mid-back resulted from sitting too long. Moreover, this pose is done without the need to sacrifice the stability of the shoulder joints (i.e. the shoulder joints are effectively turned into a externally rotated position). This way, it protects, opens as well as strengthens these joints... all in all, doing 1 fish pose can yield 3 benefits for the shoulders! not to mention how it helps strengthen the lower back, how it lengthens the front hips, how it...!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only drawback of the thai-fish pose, is that it is done and finished too quickly. 2-3 repetitions then done and you will have to say goodbye and move forward, unless the giver is kind and attentive enough so that you can ask for more without worrying you will be charged higher! Consider this, you are so blessed to have someone, such as me, around who knows and practices thai yoga massage, and who is not intended to charge... at least for the time being...!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;PS: special thanks to my massage partner for her permission to publish the fish pic taken together.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-6634081901780546958?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/6634081901780546958/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=6634081901780546958&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/6634081901780546958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/6634081901780546958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2008/05/thai-fish.html' title='Thai fish + cobra泰飛魚與眼鏡蛇'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SByNa4xNswI/AAAAAAAAAOI/nbI2slN5BWI/s72-c/080427%E6%8C%89%E6%91%A9+011+small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-4430287717035898889</id><published>2008-05-01T00:30:00.012+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T12:28:07.777+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thai yoga massage'/><title type='text'>My thai yoga massage泰式按摩之旅</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SBih_IxNsuI/AAAAAAAAAN4/RckEUIlti_Y/s1600-h/080427ææ©+001_smallsmall.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195080276229599970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SBih_IxNsuI/AAAAAAAAAN4/RckEUIlti_Y/s320/080427%E6%8C%89%E6%91%A9+001_smallsmall.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The more I look at the photos taken the other day, the more self-obsessed I become. What a great picture I took with my partner doing the fish-pose in thai massage! I can't wait to share with everyone! But since so far I haven't asked for her permission to pose this pic on this blog, that i decided to have her face blurred into non-existence! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Can't you see? isn't it the cobra pose in yoga! a cobra pose which stretches the abs, hip-flexors, the spine, the chest and the shoulder joints! but it is a cobra pose practiced with a partner! The reason I am interested in thai massage is that it reminds me of yoga/partner yoga, both of which emphasis the importance of relaxation, balance, compassion and loving-kindness. One of the things that keep impress me, is that thai massage combines many things- thumb-pressing, 經絡, indian 印度醫學, yoga, chinese 醫學, acupuncture, to name a few...... so much to learn, so deep a science it is! and you can reap the benefit of having your whole body relaxed right away after a single session!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course, when you switch to become a giver of the massage, thing turns differently. Not only it is like you have completed an hour of exercise, it is also like you have sent messages to the world that you have great power and ability to heal yourself and other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(this photo is private, taken by one of my friend, all right reserved, nobody should try to circulate la!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-4430287717035898889?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/4430287717035898889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=4430287717035898889&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/4430287717035898889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/4430287717035898889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-thai-yoga-massage.html' title='My thai yoga massage泰式按摩之旅'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/SBih_IxNsuI/AAAAAAAAAN4/RckEUIlti_Y/s72-c/080427%E6%8C%89%E6%91%A9+001_smallsmall.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-1418955732279482184</id><published>2008-04-21T23:06:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-04-21T23:08:06.237+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Other'/><title type='text'>我與死神擦肩而過</title><content type='html'>前天晚上，風雨交加。我與死神擦肩而過，拾回一命。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我在柴灣工作至夜深，正值黑色暴雨懸掛之際，下班準備回家。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;途經豐業街之際，突然頭上傳來一陣怪異的聲響。我本能地用左手蓋頭保護自己，半秒內，已看到一塊差不多四呎乘四呎的擋風玻璃從天而降，正正掉在我右邊兩呎的路上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我沒被嚇壞，只是呆了一呆，兩腳只加快地離開，倒是後面緊隨的兩位途人大叫起來，驚訝究竟這塊玻璃從來「飛」過來！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在餘下的歸家途中，整個人思想奇離地十分平靜，只慶幸沒受傷，而且好端端地繼續活著。人說，愈接近死亡，心愈會平靜。而這感覺，至這個晚上，依然存在。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-1418955732279482184?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/1418955732279482184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=1418955732279482184&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/1418955732279482184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/1418955732279482184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2008/04/blog-post.html' title='我與死神擦肩而過'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-5117604233331395932</id><published>2008-03-30T22:33:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-04T01:10:54.564+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Thai yoga massage'/><title type='text'>Thai Yoga Massage</title><content type='html'>I have to admit- I hate what I am doing right now for a living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I found my new love- Thai Massage stretching that, along with yoga and exercise, balances the ordeal I endure in my daily life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With my credentials as a freelance yoga instructor, I think I will soon succeed in "transforming" myself into a thai-yoga massage practitioner, as I will go with a partner to attend a 4-days intensive course.

They are the result of the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have long been conscious about the existence of my body. I have always been since middle-school. When I looked into the mirror I was ashamed of the pimples that spread over my face and made me looked ugly. When I grew older, I started noticing the change of my breast, of their growing out of my control, along with menstruation from the age of 13, then I started to realize that I was stepping into a new phase of life into womanhood. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn’t treat and take care of my body very well in my early womanhood, from time to time I would fall into a deep hole of sadness and loss that I was skeptical of my own being, the very essence of life and existence. When looking back, I guess all these was the result of my ignorance of how this machine, name it as the body, was working. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was until I got rid of the darkest phase of my life that I had built up a very deep attachment to it. It was not my physical body I acknowledged, for this had happened as soon as I started to work out in the gym, but my physical and emotional body united as a whole (thanks to yoga). There can never be any separation of them as they are the reflection of one another- neither of them can exist without the other. In English, when 2 people say to each other, “we have a connection”, it implies not only the physical (romance) side, but also the connection between their mind and heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a connection with my body which is as deep as being in love with her. She is the reflection of my heart and a place for me to rest and nurture. When I hold my hands I feel the pleasure of touch; I caress it in the expression of love and care. It feels pain when I am dismayed and sad, it feels light and strong when I am caring and optimistic. It is the way we communicate, as intimately as making love of 2 lovers. The awareness of its existence sometimes makes me broody and obsessed, that sometimes I just can’t bear to look at it withering with ages unless they would cause no sadness in my mind.&lt;div

type='html'>自從知道甚麼是「幻痛」後，就對人腦的妙奇功能更為之讚嘆。其實每個人的性格、特徵、思考模式，以至種種生理及心理現象，都是離不開腦背後所指喚。有些研究更發現，心靈至宗教的一些個人經歷，例如「看」到神的出現、與神對話，以及其他涉及靈魂的事，都可能與腦顳葉的活動有關。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以此推論，於是大家或會明白為何多做冥想、靜坐這類與腦活動有關的事，是可以改變腦細胞的活動和分泌，從而達到合一、當下、超越時空natural high的境界。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;自從認識到有「幻痛」這回事（人體斷了肢後，原本負責該活動區的腦細胞會「轉移地盤」入侵別的大腦活動區，以致觸碰該活動區所負責的地方，例如臉，時，就會產生該已斷的肢體所「產生」的幻痛），就益發覺得人腦，保養不好的時候，真的會有「踏錯線」的情況出現，即政府禁毒宣傳片所說的「壞腦」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;酗酒不但會傷肝、也會傷腦，它尤其會干擾小腦的運作，令它失去協調複雜的人體活動和平衡的功能。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;難道清醒真的如斯痛苦，非要借酒逃避現實不可？而這些現實，又是否真的是「現實」？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，我仍然是主張「正正常常」地活著。所以當昨天晚上在尖沙咀海旁站了多句鐘頭，期間看到不遠處有幾個十零歲的、樣子長得以為自己好有型其實面目猙獰的小朋友在吃大麻吃到出神時，除了真想打巴個佢地之外（因為在旁的我們也因此間接地吸了「二手草」），也實在黑心得希望低能（又是腦問題啊）的他們早日食壞腦（腦細胞死了就不會復活的，即英文所謂的gone for good），那麼他們就可以早日與其藏在大腦顳葉的快樂之神會面。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大腦保養不當，真的會「踏錯線」的。尤其是處於失意和悲觀情緒時候，甚麼都惡性循環，彷彿蒙上一層灰，就會開始質疑做人的價值，為甚麼別人有的我沒有、為甚麼別人平步青雲我就一無所有、為甚麼我事業愛情兩失意、為甚麼我老豆唔係李家誠諸如此類，明明身邊有愛惜自己自己又愛惜的人，也想統統與之斷絕來往獨個兒鑽牛角尖死鬼左佢……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大概，這就是憂鬱症了，即腦神經細胞傳導物分泌失調，也即是時候看醫生治肝鬱吃逍遙丸了——嗯，這是經驗之談，而我真的希望歷史不再重演（雖然近日精神真的頗低落）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;究竟大腦是甚麼的東西？&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='html'>發現身邊不少人都有或多或少的肝毛病。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liver，肝，英文的名字真的改得好——Live-r，活著就是靠它好好的活（明白這個雙關語嗎？）。自我修復的能力是內臟之冠，即使出了毛病，割去一半很快又可以生長回復原來大小。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;能者多勞，肝的工作量也是最多最繁忙：製造營養、儲存營養、造血、酵素、排毒、分解化學物質、分解毒素、製作膽汁……一旦出了毛病，健康大概是瀕臨破產的邊緣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中醫所說的「肝」，與西醫解剖理解的「肝」也大同小異。失眠、休息不足、嗜甜、嗜精製美食、抽煙、壓力、缺乏運動，統統與肝的健康對著幹。萬一生活出了岔子、消沉失意，又會傷肝，變了惡性循環，身心健康雙雙變負資產，雪上加霜，長此下去，大概也命不久矣！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;去照一照鏡中的自己吧。有沒有現代人生活的寫照：雙目無神、帶黃、眼睛繞著兩個黑圈子上路嗎？臉色黑/萎黃無生氣？這些都是最基本能推論得到肝的健康的提示。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;心情不好嗎？可能會連累肝的運作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;要好好護肝，它才能好好保護你今後的健康。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由今天起，少吃零食、多休息、運動、喝檸檬水、吃蔬菜、勤排毒、生活定時……還有，找愛護關懷你的人傾訴、分享生命……你的肝，以至你的人生，就會快快樂樂健康起來。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（貼士：服用中成藥的「逍遙丸」和「舒肝丸」也是不錯的選擇。我的中醫表哥極力推薦）&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

heart these days. I got what I want- a short moment of happiness and relief; I got what I deserve- a face with acnes which are keep growing; some of them are on the chin area, some on forehead, and some, bizarre as they are, are found on the bottom of my ears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can no longer bear to look at my face. And so I let my facial therapist to take care of it today. I call her therapist, instead of beautician or whatever relevant, not only because she turned my face into 10 years younger in just 2 hours’ time, but also because during those 2 relaxing hours, she kept sitting on my side, listening to what I complained about life, about work and about everything that goes against my will and way. In other words, it is more that just facial, it is also psycho-therapeutical. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, at the end of those kind words and patience, you still have to pay, and I did it very willingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little thing about face and health: according to Chinese medication, skin problem such as acnes on the chin are actually caused by poor digestive function. There must be something wrong with your stomach or bowels, that waste and toxic keeps accumulated in the elimination system without a proper out. The body has to find its way to let go of toxic, as a result, the workload of its eliminating members, such as the kidney, liver and skin becomes heavier. In other words, the more acnes (for example) you got, the poorer your digestive system is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about those in my forehead then? Let me save everybody’s time: it is because I think and I get upset too much these days. Why? Because my bank account is screaming out of hunger these days and I still haven’t the clue how to fill up its stomach.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-5239765643029043596?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/5239765643029043596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=5239765643029043596&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/5239765643029043596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/5239765643029043596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2007/12/skin-facial-and-beyond_06.html' title='Skin, facial and beyond'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-557527557547771880</id><published>2007-12-06T11:19:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-04-05T21:17:57.388+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Anatomy'/><title type='text'>Brain and life itself</title><content type='html'>人類的記憶會隨著內容的不同，而被儲存於大腦皮質的各個區域中。物體的形狀是儲存於顳葉聯絡區、物體的所在位置是位於額葉聯絡區、至於身體的運動方式則是於運動聯絡區。而各種記憶會再加以細分，儲存於不同的神經元內。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;記憶大致可分為四種，分別是「含意記憶」、「步驟記憶」、「插曲記憶」、「恐懼記憶」。從學問性知識和自我體驗所得來的「含意記憶」，與額葉、海馬、頂葉、顳葉前部等處有關，腳踏車的騎法、樂器演奏，以及條件反射之類的生理和肉體反應之「步驟記憶」，則是與所有的中樞神經系統有關。自身所體驗的「插曲記憶」主要是儲存於海馬中，而「恐懼記憶」則是儲存於扁桃核內。（《人體學習大百科》，P.32）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always had a special taste on the brain and memory.

If god would take away some sections of my brain and keep me still alive, I hope it would be the 扁桃核 so that I would lose all the sensations of fear to face life with courage; second one is of course the very hidden part which controls lust and desire, so that I would be totally free from those stupid human attachments.

She commented on the straps she saw on the pictures, calling for a cool-minded-ness that I should better take and said, “Why would they be helpful or beneficial? The straps wouldn’t get you anything, only to tighten the muscles and slow down the flow of blood and energy around that acup-point. Those who designed these straps actually knew nothing about acupuncture and it is just a scam for money.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I trust my friend and I trust my insight after her opinions. When holding those acu-straps, my attention was put onto the plastic pins only and forgot the straps themselves which are for stabilizing the “effect”. In yoga, as in any other relaxation exercise, what we look for is mainly the relaxation of the muscles, which in the end brings forth the total relaxation of the mind and body. As such, if anything tightens our bodies, relaxation would never be achieved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t have any knowledge on Chinese acupuncture yet. Being innocent may not be dangerous, but when someone is smart enough, when he or she is willing to keep learning and pursuit for a better life, he or she will definitely save a lot more time (and money) to make a better shopper.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-4564962150741081172?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/4564962150741081172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=4564962150741081172&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/4564962150741081172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/4564962150741081172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2007/11/strapstrap.html' title='Straps_trap'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-5252459132363723717</id><published>2007-11-22T13:03:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T12:28:08.275+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Other'/><title type='text'>Straps</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/R0UNxDaRXXI/AAAAAAAAANo/tGbMExyEZpg/s1600-h/IMG_3545.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/R0UNxDaRXXI/AAAAAAAAANo/tGbMExyEZpg/s320/IMG_3545.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5135526086466166130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These 2 are no ordinary straps. They are made use of Chinese acupuncture (中醫針灸), a topic I fall head-over-feet-ly these days. When worn on specific parts of the body, it is said that certain discomfort or symptoms of disease could be relieved without any side effects as we used to face during medication.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought these little things out of curiosity a few years ago. They were highly recommended by a friend of mine who used to have special interest in alternative healings, and who, by twist of fate, became my latest working partner in the magazine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time has changed. We are no longer partner now because to our disappointment the magazine has been folded lately. Losing a job may not be a bad thing, losing an opportunity to work closely with a talented and beautiful person, however, is surely a pain waiting for one to heal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pain. It is something we tend to avoid or run away from. However, pain is part of life, part of being human, as are office politics, relationships, love and hate; those make up life and make it whole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still remember they were not a bargain. Each cost more than $100, and they were rare stuff- not easy to be found in common dispensary. The light-brown strap, which is for PMS &amp; menstrual problem, was a gift from my friend. After trying on it, I then bought the green strap. They look very similar, but are different in the degree of treating the specific symptoms they separately target. The green one, looking surprisingly stylish when wearing on the palm, is for curing/lessening the pain and irritation caused by headache. It is also said to be able to lift one’s spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2 straps look like fashion, and fashion doesn’t last, and so my fancy for them soon diminished and they ended up idling in my corset for years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though they are comfortable, they will definitely leave you dark spots after removing it from your skin, as if someone had hit and punched you in your face! It is a good idea that I take a snap shot next time to show you how it looks like (I am not wearing it right now).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-5252459132363723717?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/5252459132363723717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=5252459132363723717&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/5252459132363723717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/5252459132363723717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2007/11/straps.html' title='Straps'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/R0UNxDaRXXI/AAAAAAAAANo/tGbMExyEZpg/s72-c/IMG_3545.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-8071043932913417384</id><published>2007-11-19T14:07:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T12:28:08.619+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Other'/><title type='text'>Acupuncture and amazement (奇妙的中醫針灸)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/R0EocjaRXWI/AAAAAAAAANg/RdDVvruryzw/s1600-h/acup_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/R0EocjaRXWI/AAAAAAAAANg/RdDVvruryzw/s320/acup_1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134429521185955170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/R0EoVTaRXVI/AAAAAAAAANY/OxY9LfMYnBs/s1600-h/acup_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/R0EoVTaRXVI/AAAAAAAAANY/OxY9LfMYnBs/s320/acup_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5134429396631903570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These 2 photos were taken last night at my middle-school-classmate’s new home in Tin Shui Wai, the so-called “City of Sadness” which should actually be re-named as “City of Windiness”,in my opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were house-warming. We were sitting in the living room. Next to me was another middle-school-classmate. I cropped the photo into half because I am not sure if she would be willing to have her face appeared on this blog. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is not the point here, not so much as I want to have everyone’s attention on my shiny-freaky left leg with a needle on it. Inserted by another middle-school-classmate of mine who has just finished an acup-course, this is an acup-point called the “足三里”said to have involved and controlled the well-being of ones health (plus beauty benefits).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After 10 minutes sitting with a needle on my leg, something strange inside started happening- I felt more energetic, alive and focused. The energy level was going up and all the tiredness and boredom after the windy move earlier that day seemed to have gone in an instant. When I took to the washroom, I saw my eyes were rounder and my face brightened. I told my classmate how amazing the effect was then she replied it was because needling that point is what the Chinese physicians usually prescribe to improve chi and blood flow, i.e. 大補氣血! (So, this is the “point” and I can’t help poking it over and over again right now.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon hearing this benefit (that neither any yoga asana nor massage can achieve this), as always a health enthusiast, I was interested and excited immediately, hoping to take a course as soon as possible to learn more about acupuncture and how it relates to other healing systems. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just hope my friends would join me- even if they are not interested to learn, they would be willing to be my guinea pigs to have needles on their bodies …&lt;div

/&gt;近日無論是情緒、精神和精力都很欠佳。因生氣、沮喪和偶而的一種孤寂感，人彷彿縮水了似的，變得十分不可愛，連帶在體適能上，也彷彿變了另一個人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;近這三次踏單車，都因為體力和專注力欠佳而頻生撞車意外。第一次擦傷了手掌，掉了一小片外皮、流了一張小手帕的血、撞瘀青了左右小腿的肌肉；第二次，較輕微，只撞損了左手姆指；第三次，可能最嚴重，整個人倒在車的一旁，膝蓋瘀青了，兩個坐骨直墜地上，不但痛，還震動了骨盆一帶，現在該部分暗「痛」處處，有點可怕——怕震傷了腰椎不自知。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;人體最脆弱的地方，未必是心靈，但腰椎，一定可以被列入「應小心呵護」的部分。因為它活動幅度大，因為它活動幅度大所以也特別易受傷。意外、退化、勞損、姿勢不當，它最容易成為第一受害人，甚至叫你痛不欲生。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;無論是誰，平日都該多做伸展和一些強化肌肉的運動，才能在各大小意外跌跌撞撞間懂得協調，利用強與韌，把意外的損害減至最低。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，運動還是要在精神和集中力不太差的時候進行才安全。否則就會像我般，意外接踵而來。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>對很多習瑜伽的人來說，大休息是式子中看似最容易，其實卻是最困難的式子。因為它講求的，不單是放鬆，也是意識的集中。兩者同一時間互存，互惠互長，就是難度所在。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;人在集中的時候（例如工作、說話、期待），肌肉總會不期然繃緊起來，肩胛骨向上提、頭向胸口縮、胸大肌過緊、頸部的深層肌（頸屈肌）過弱，做成所謂「上交叉綜合症」的問題——寒背、縮頸、壓迫脊椎關節、打亂整個人姿勢的重心，久而久之造成頸痛、腰痛、膝痛等辦公室症候群。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當人安安靜靜地躺在地上做大休息時，所有因為姿勢不良而過勞的肌肉會得以放鬆——放鬆，不單是肉體的放鬆，卻也是精神的放鬆。這時候積壓在胸中的鬱悶悲傷慢慢被釋放出來，慢慢由心輪流瀉往身體四肢其餘地方。人放鬆，意識同時又要集中，自然會集中在當下身體的感覺上，那就是大休息最難熬所在——你無可逃避要再一次面對那些複雜的情緒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;感覺到那種長年累月的沉重和壓力嗎？感覺到你的悲傷浮現出來了嗎？感到身體在抽搐嗎？你的淚水已淚流滿臉？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;放心，請放鬆吧！讓要釋放的盡情釋放，讓該被洗滌的盡情洗滌。就像我，在某個失望的深夜裡，坦然讓自己躺在大休息的懷裡，心一邊痛哭著，一邊說，隨它去吧，因為你將再一次得到平靜和真正的快樂。&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這是警告。眼睛有問題如此，就必須停止所有會影響眼睛的劇烈／有危險的運動。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當中，也是我知道消息後馬上想到的，就是必須避免再做倒立的動作，尤其是頭倒立式——這個我喜愛的式子，即使不說再見，現在也要跟它說暫別一段日子了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;很奇怪，寫到這裡，我才發現，由不斷的嘗試、失敗、研究直到成功，這麼一個特別的瑜伽式子，我彷彿原來早已把它視作親密的愛人。這時要說別離，這麼突然要說別離，心裡竟是滿滿的捨不得，捨不得。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Evolution後，就更加覺得近年瑜伽大熱和商業化所導致的精神分裂現象愈來愈令人討厭：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;物質主義——當大師們循循善誘，叫大家surrender和letting go的當兒，外面會場的鎖售處擺放的，都是貴格貨物；三百多元的一張瑜伽墊（我家裡的墊只需70元而已）、百多元一個瑜伽磚、七百多元一條瑜伽運動褲……商家要賺錢，本是無可厚非，但mark up得如此厲害，打著瑜伽之名，掛羊頭賣狗肉；最可憐是大夥兒仍是放不下，目迷五色，最終荷包大出血，虛有瑜伽學生之名，精神卻仍舊那麼空空的……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;對不起，我真的要反復三思，我個人所謂的修行(我也有一條價值差不多六百元的瑜伽褲啊！)、我心裡的瑜伽，和外面的瑜伽，究竟是否同一件事。&lt;div

/&gt;練習體位法已超過四年了。當我愈認識自己，就愈怕碰上一些過分熱心的瑜伽導師，怕被他們看中，然後走過來，協助也好，強迫也好，要我完成一些看似容易，卻是我永遠無法做到的式子。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這是因為，也是我相信的：沒有人比自己，更清楚做每個式子時的感受和限制。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這也是《Anatomy for Yoga》這張DVD要傳遞的信息：人體結構看似人人相同，每個人都有五臟六腑，再由骨骼肌肉來保護。但只要作精細的比較和觀察，就會發現每個人都有微小的差別，而因為這些差別，便構成個人的特質，變得無可取代。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;《Anatomy for Yoga》是一張教材式DVD，沒有一般式子的示範流程。正因為這樣，它特別值得瑜伽迷參考和細味。講者是資深瑜伽導師和解剖學專家Paul Grilley，他強調的，就是每個人的關節結構都有微妙的差別，這些差別會導致不同幅度的碰撞（compression），而最終影響體位法的表現，諸如做得「好看」、「不好看」、「有益」、「有害」、「標準」、「不標準」等。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DVD一開始Grilley就花了很多時間講解八個主要人體關節和骨骼構造、它們如何影響人體活動幅度（range of motion），以及這些活動幅度與傳統瑜伽的「標準」的矛盾關係。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;簡單而言，要做「好」、做到一個式子，不單先要將肌肉伸展至一個程度，更要有一眾關節的互相配合。當骨與骨互相碰撞，令關節活動到了盡頭，就是碰撞點（point of compression）。Grilley的理論是，必須將肌肉的柔韌性完全剔除，我們才容易看清楚那個阻礙活動範圍更深層和重要的因素：骨骼和關節結構。他還借助很多學生來比較和示範，而他們的共通點是練習瑜伽多年，肌肉的柔韌性已不再構成活動的阻力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;結論是，既然每個人的關節結構都有微妙的差別，因此做每一個式子時，外表儘管相同，感受卻未必一樣（Two people who look the same on the outside when doing a pose, are not feeling the same on the inside），因此沒有一個所謂客觀的正確「做法」或「姿勢」（All variations are legal, all arm and foot placements are legal...），也因此必須尊重個人先天的限制，別盲目追求「標準」而勉強自己或他人，以致受傷。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;舉個例子：當大夥兒都說做戰士第二式（Warrior II）時骨盆要保持正中而膝蓋不可向前旋時，一些人，卻因為先天髖關節結構的限制，而無法「合符標準」地完成。而主要原因，是骨頭與骨頭到了觸碰點，而阻止關節繼續被扭動的結果。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最有別於主流的觀點，是Grilley認為骨的碰撞並非壞事，相反，它能刺激骨骼，提高其密度；而肌腱和韌帶也會隨年紀增長而逐漸縮小，所以我們無須過分憂慮，只要不過分勉強，就不妨多加伸展，來保持關節的活動範圍。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這樣，又回歸瑜伽的精粹：接受和放下。在瑜伽裡，我們被教導要滿足當下，但其實又有多少人能做到？就像體位法，不少人喜歡向難度挑戰，迷戀肌力和柔韌度，強迫身體向極限挑戰，以做到高難度動作而自豪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然而，沒有一套準繩是可以適合全人類的。因著先天和後天的差異，有一些事，無論個人怎樣努力、無懼挑戰，最終也未必能「成功」的。而體位法畢竟不是瑜伽的全部；而每個人在意識和啟悟的潛能上卻是相同的。自我意識由體位開始，最終會在放鬆、靜坐和專注中無限擴闊。在當下裡，接納個人獨特的天賦和限制，放下對「標準」和身體的執著，以愛和慈悲為人生締造更多快樂和幸福，才是瑜伽。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary:&lt;br /&gt;“All bones are different.  All people are different.”“What was right for somebody, is wrong for somebody else.”These are the messages from Paul Grilley in his highly acclaimed DVD Anatomy for Yoga.  It focuses on the understanding the skeletal structure of the body of how the difference of bones affects our individual asanas practices.  Comprehensive, intelligent and humorous, this is a DVD for yoga teachers as well as serious students who want to deepen their understanding of anatomy in relation to yoga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;原載：Yoga Journal Hong Kong, #04&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-6828345534438652461?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/6828345534438652461/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=6828345534438652461&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/6828345534438652461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/6828345534438652461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2007/06/anatomy-for-yoga.html' title='Anatomy for Yoga'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/Rnc7VKAhIfI/AAAAAAAAALI/G2C4piOApek/s72-c/Grilley_DVD_Box-300.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-846788045965134114</id><published>2007-06-07T10:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-06-12T22:46:41.647+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yoga'/><title type='text'>Backbending (轉載自Monica「體驗式瑜伽」）</title><content type='html'>我問學生「哪一類的體位法比較難做？倒立？手平衡？還是後彎？」學生答曰「都難！！」我聽了不禁莞爾。是啊，對大部份初學者來說，這些都是屬於「高難度」的動作。可是，若問一個比較有經驗的瑜伽練習者，她/他會知道：後仰的學問很大。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;為什麼呢？因為像輪式、駝式等後仰動作，不但牽涉到到一個人的柔軟度，還要部份肌力幫助。後仰做得漂亮的人，並不代表他做起來輕鬆愉快，因為有可能他是冒著下腰脊椎的椎間盤強力壓迫變形的風險在做這些漂亮的動作的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因為知道隨便做後仰動作帶來可能的不只是下腰或頸椎的不適，更可能會慢性傷害我們寶貴的下腰椎，因此我在初學者的班較少做後仰動作。包括多年前曾受過傷的我自己，也儘量少做高難度、大角度的後仰動作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;直到我前陣子上了Anusara Yoga的訓練課程後，不但減少我對深度後仰的恐懼(是的，我怕腰痛)，不但自己做得更輕鬆、更勝任，也更有信心讓學生在後仰動作中，也能和我一樣不害怕的放心去做高難度動作。  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;後彎的奧妙 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Anusara教法有什麼絕竅呢？它打破過去我們認為後仰時，要把腰、臀拉高且往前推，讓身體拱得更圓的做法。而是以更深入的開胸姿勢來取代折腰動作。因為把下背部拱高的姿勢，在站姿沒有講究的情形下，很容易就用到下背的力量，而那個部位的肌肉太少，要去支持重量，當然會「折」得很不舒服。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但我們的肩膀卻是身上最靈活的關節之一，只要有系統且有步驟的去活動肩部與前胸、上背的肌肉，就能啟動很多我們想像不到的能量。Anusara神奇的地方就在這裡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，要把平常略帶僵硬(相信我，即使是練瑜伽多年，很多人，包括我的肩部都還處於「不夠開」的情形下)的肩、上背與胸部，練習到有力、鬆開且放對位置，真的不是很容易。以我來說，剛開始那些肌肉真的吃不消的發酸，可是，每一次做深度後仰時，我都再一次發掘自己居然還有這些多的潛力被開發出來，那種喜悅相信很多朋友也很想經歷吧？  &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;後仰的能量 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;您或?#92;會問「我們幹嘛那麼辛苦練習後彎呢？」其實後仰打開的，不只是身體層面的肌肉、關節，還有強健肺活量與心臟而已，還有處理到很多心理面的層面。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;如果觀察小孩和成人的站姿，我們會發現一個普遍的現象：小孩站時很容易就是肩膀打開、心胸往前的情形。但是成人呢？大家都知道我們很習慣垂頭、駝背，不是嗎？以心理學角度看，我們在受到壓力和挫折時，很容易採取防衛做法，就是把胸往內縮，這個姿勢更能保護我們的身體與心理，時日一久，自然養成不良姿勢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;也就是說，經常做後仰或是開胸動作，不但讓我們比較開朗、比較有自信，也更能接受新挑戰、更能信任別人。對於穩定自己的情緒也有很大的幫助，也會覺得身體更有氧、更有活力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，開胸不是只有用在後彎上，在倒立、側拉、甚至前彎，也都啟動開胸能量，以這種角度來做所有瑜伽體位法，真的很不一樣喔~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;想來打開心胸重新做後仰，試試無壓力的後仰嗎？歡迎您來和Monica以及其他同學一起分享您學習的經驗與喜悅。當然，在Monica這期的Flow Yoga不會只有後仰，甚至說，後仰動作也不是特別重(為了平衡，當然不能過度)，可是您可以獲得更多更多的信心喔～ Flow Yoga上課時間：6/9(每週六)下午3:00~4:30。及6/13(每週三)晚7:30~9:00。缺課可互相補課。每次1.5小時，一期12堂各有不同主題與重點，共3,600元。報名請來信om108t@gmail.com謝謝。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-846788045965134114?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/846788045965134114/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=846788045965134114&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/846788045965134114'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/846788045965134114'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2007/06/backbending.html' title='Backbending (轉載自Monica「體驗式瑜伽」）'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-1312411811188448655</id><published>2007-05-27T14:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T12:28:10.568+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yoga'/><title type='text'>What is new is not new</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/RlkiPQAcxaI/AAAAAAAAAKY/UM4b3Dq80MM/s1600-h/yoga+journal_issue4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

You will find me nowhere, cos I didn't write anything for this issue; you will find me everywhere, as I translated all I was needed to translate.  What a big task!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wonderful partner-editor-good-friend wrote many articles for this issue.  She is a very talented and soulful person.  Try to have your heart open and read her works, then you will know what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, this is a very special magazine.  It is more than a yoga or exercise magazine.  When we love, we know that there is more to life than merely eating, drinking and playing.  When we truly look into ourselves, really look into what our lives are all about, no matter how much tears will shed, how much laughter will follow, a marvelous and meaningful journey of life will soon begin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-2047295235780133166?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt=''

type='html'>「有些人以為身體柔軟就是體能優越，或者以為身體柔軟就是健康，這都是謬誤不實的想法。每次當我們說，柔軟度就再高，若是缺乏持久力，稍做運動便會腰痠背痛時，這些人都振振有詞地抗議說，他們直立彎曲身體時，雙手都可以摸到地板，因此絕不可能腰痠背痛，無論怎麼解釋，他們總是堅信自己的看法。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;關節的柔軟度以２５～２６歲時為最高峰，此後隨年齡之增長而愈僵硬。因此，提高柔軟度的訓練必須在二十五歲以前完成，２５歲以後不必勉強自己訓練已經老化的關節，否則會傷害關節，十分危險。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;若想使身體柔軟，最好的方法是做慢動作的柔軟體操，尤其在入浴後，肌肉溫度提高時做最有效果，可是速度一定要慢，否則十分危險。因為柔軟度的個別差異很大，因此不可參加此方面的集體訓練，年紀大的人彎腰時應該格外謹慎，如果姿勢過分勉強，比如兩腿併攏、伸直膝蓋彎腰時，極容易傷害腰部。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ P.158-

type='text'>一些關於運動和創傷的反思</title><content type='html'>雖然讀過又pass了急救，又有一紙瑜伽證書在手，但以下所說的，差不多完全是過去自己的親身（或見過的）經驗，簡直就是「身體力行」的最佳反面範例。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;人有好多罪過，而哀大莫過於無知或一知半解，然後在一知半解後以訛傳訛，製造更大的錯誤。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;要改變，要為自己和身邊的人謀幸福，因此，就要不斷探索、糾正、努力、上進；有料子，才有資格寸、有資格驕傲自恃（雖然這兩者與無知也差不多的討厭）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.&lt;br /&gt;肌肉拉傷、關節扭傷，必須立即做的，不是用跌打酒勁捽患處（簡直是無腦的做法），而是要休息、做冷敷；每次十五分鐘，每日三至四次。原理是要減低患處的血液循環，才能盡快消腫，而非加速其紅腫（除非你喜歡玩另類，像一些極端存在主義者般享受劇痛的感覺）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;腫消了，才好做熱敷，然後再用跌打酒之類的東西輕輕按摩，加速該部位的血液循環，促進康復。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.&lt;br /&gt;關節的韌帶鬆了，會失去穩定關節的作用。這時候，若繼續做瑜伽高難度拉筋法，就遲早會甩臼、加速關節之間的磨擦，成日啪啪聲，造成更多傷害（例如發炎、骨刺）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;為甚麼要做瑜伽摺前摺後、扭來扭去這些動作？伸展的動作固然舒服，但為甚麼要把腳放上頸、整個人前後摺起來、整個脊椎作三百六十度旋轉？除了好勝想認叻、或生意失敗想轉行入馬戲班表演外，普通市民根本無須、也無必要做這些沒用又高危的動作（面對現實吧：我們不是五歲已開始練習軟骨功的瑜伽大師！）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;出現上述情況，請先做一些負重運動，令肌肉結實一點。因為肌肉，與韌帶一樣，有穩定關節的作用。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.&lt;br /&gt;身邊有人「發羊吊」（癲癇），千萬不要把手指插進病人的口腔內，以為這樣可以防止對方咬到自己的舌頭。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實，咬斷舌頭的發生率好低；反而，咬斷（你自己的）手指的機會會大許多嘍！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有人「發羊吊」就讓他躺下來吧。最緊要讓他鬆弛下來，暢通氣道，而不是阻止其郁動（即鬥力）。然後，無論病人有沒有醒過來，也要call白車將他送院檢查。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.&lt;br /&gt;Sit-up，仰臥起坐，早已被醫學界和運動科學界視為高危動作之一，是絕對要禁止的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有腰背痛問題的人，醫生或物理治療師常會吩咐他們做多些強化腹肌的運動，這樣就可以穩定軀幹，減少腰背承受的壓力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;於是乎他們就傻更更學人做sit up，曲起膝蓋後起點到止點由零度摺到一百二十度，以為自己腰力驚人。殊不知，原本軟扒扒的下背突然要承受強大的拉力，肌肉先會拉傷，再過多三五七年，遲早會被拉力折磨至椎間盤突出。到時候，要一嘆躺在手術台上的滋味，必會有他們的份兒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;無論想不想練腹肌，都不要再做sit up。請改做安全許多的crunch吧（步驟與sit up一樣，只不過今次只需離地大概30 - 40度就足夠了。見下圖）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.&lt;br /&gt;要拉筋（伸展），千萬要先進行暖身運動。肌肉暖了，才能承受更多的拉力（但千萬不要作「振盪式伸展」bouncing，因為這只會刺激神經系統收縮肌肉，就更容易拉傷）。想像在冰格拿出一塊瘦肉：向瘦肉大力一拍，就會斷開兩塊；所以瘦肉必先融雪，待變得軟綿綿，回復韌力，才好用來煮食。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雖然你不是冰格的瘦肉，但在天寒地凍的日子（像現在），仍要小心一點；平日多做些保暖工夫，免得肌肉因低溫過度而凍死，或被自己無意一拉扯開斷裂而肉痛手尾長到死。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;這是上帝設計人時所定下的規律，即使食肉減肥大師Dr Akin幾勁，都無法改變這個定律；瑜伽也不可以，除非那是大量運動肌肉、「辛苦型」的強力瑜伽。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有氧運動對心血管系統的好處：&lt;br /&gt;**增加心臟尺寸&lt;br /&gt;**增加心臟收縮力&lt;br /&gt;**增加心縮排血量&lt;br /&gt;**增加血管血流&lt;br /&gt;**降低靜態心跳率&lt;br /&gt;**增加最大攝氧量&lt;br /&gt;**增加微絲血管數量&lt;br /&gt;**增加線粒體（身體的能量發電廠）的數目及體積&lt;br /&gt;**促進氧化酵素活動&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以下是《完全健身》內有關用心率評估個人健身的節錄：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;安靜時的心率也是你的健康狀況的一個標誌。人的安靜心率是相對穩定的。一個人的健康水平提高，安靜時的心率會相應降低，但過度疲勞或健身過度的時候，安靜心率也會提高，如果你發現自己的安靜心率比平時提高了，也就是說你該增加休息了，正常人的心率應該在每分鐘60 ~ 90次（按：較多人認為是每分鐘60 ~ 80次）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;心率和你身體的缺水程度、疲勞狀況、外界溫度等其他因素有關。當你沒有喝足夠的水，運動時血液容量不能有效地增加時，心臟就需要超量工作來滿足要求。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;對於這些刺激、含強烈咖啡因的飲品，其實早已心知其壞處，例如會導致生暗瘡、失眠、頭痛等問題。無奈是，既身處工作的戰場，人往往身不由己；為了維持良好的工作表現減低被老闆炒魷的機會；於是，提神醒腦的咖啡，自然是最直接最便捷的好拍擋！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;後來修讀了一個基礎營養學課程，方知這位醒腦的「好拍檔」，真面目可憎之程度！於是，在中了多年咖啡因毒之後，趁著近日放長假休養生息之際，決定把它狠狠甩掉——即使過程十分艱巨，例如要忍受頭痛欲裂、疲倦、對甚麼事也提不起勁，以致被朋友們投訴冷漠無情等等的脫癮徵狀。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;可憎的程度：&lt;br /&gt;有沒有喝過一杯甜美香濃咖啡或濃茶後，變得興奮、活躍，然後又在很短時間內，變得情緒低落、意志消沉的經驗？原來，這是咖啡因（和糖）在背後作祟，令血糖在短時間內猛地提高，然後又在短時間內急速滑下。血糖的不穩定會導致精神和情緒上的問題，像抑鬱、焦慮、緊張，於是令人進一步倚賴咖啡因來急速提神解決問題，形成一個惡性循環，人的情緒只會變得愈來愈失去平衡，也愈來愈笨（良好的學習能力得靠穩定的血糖以維持足夠的體力、記憶和專注力）！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;咖啡因不但有刺激腎上腺素分泌以致精神緊張、令人愈來愈上癮等廣為人知的壞處外，原來，長期過量攝取，更會損害腎上腺功能，導致記憶力衰退、增加體重和精神萎靡不振的問題——噢！怪不得近年記性愈來愈差，常常對老闆的指責左耳入右耳出，原來不是因為年紀漸大，而是愈來愈上咖啡癮所致！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;營養大賊：&lt;br /&gt;不過，最鮮為人知的，就是咖啡因的「大賊」角色——作為利尿劑，它加速體內水分的流失、破壞鈉和鉀的平衡，直接和間接都會為破壞健康（例如因脫水導致的皮膚和消化問題、鈉過多鉀過少造成的神經系統等問題）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最嚴重的，是咖啡內含有一種有害物質Benzoid Acid。要把它中和「去毒化」然後排出體外，人體最重要的化學工廠肝臟必須超時工作，期間還要利用大量的甘氨酸（一種重要的氨基酸）來幫助「解毒」；當大量甘氨酸被損耗後，便無法提供給身體其他組織維持正常需要，例如膠原質會因缺少了甘氨酸而被破壞，導致比生暗瘡更恐怖、諸如皮膚衰老、臉皮鬆弛等小姐太太們最害怕的惡夢——去到這個階段，無論怎樣做美容、怎樣努力做瑜伽摺來摺去力挽狂瀾，大概也只會徒勞無功！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;甩咖啡因與甩一個壞情人一樣，過程痛苦又漫長（聽說要幾個星期）；但為了健康和幸福，無論怎樣難過，也要挺過去。只要相信：癮頭一旦成功甩掉，人生就會自由、快樂許多！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;原載：&lt;br /&gt;Yoga Journal-Hong Kong, Issue 1&lt;div

"靜心"(meditation)，這個字和"醫藥"(medicine)，這個字來自同一個字根。醫藥意味著那個能夠治療身體的，而靜心意味著那個能夠治療心靈的。這兩者都是治療的力量。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     另外一件必須記住的事是:"治療"(healing)，這個字和"完整"(whole)這個字也是來自同樣的字根。被治癒只是意味著成為完整的，不缺任何東酉，這個字的另外一個含意是"神聖的"(holy)，它也是來自同樣的字根。"治療"、"完整"、和"神聖的"這幾個字的字根都是一樣的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     靜心具有治療作用，它能夠使你變完整，而成為完整的就是成為神聖的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     神聖跟屬於任何宗教或任何教會無關，它只是意味著在你裡面你是全部的、完整的，什麼都不缺，你是滿足的，你就是存在想要你成為的那個樣子，你已經實現了你的潛力....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     宗教是一個向內的旅程，而靜心就是它的道路。靜心實際上所做的事就是:它帶領你或你的意識進入到盡可能深的她方。甚至連你自己的身體都變成某種外在的東西，甚至連你自己的頭腦都變成某種外在的東西，甚至連你自己的心----它非常接近你存在的中心，都變成外在的。當你的身體、頭腦、和心，所有這三者都被看成是外在的，你就來到了你存在的最核心。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     這個來到核心是一個很大的爆發，它能夠蛻變每一樣東西。你將不會再是同一個人，因為如此一來你知道身體只是外殼，頭腦稍微內在一點，但也並非真的是你內在的核心，心又更內在一些，但還不是最內在的核心，你不會去跟所有這三者認同。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     你會首度覺得結晶起來....你已經不再是那個舊有的、空洞的人。你首度開始感覺到有一股無比的能量、耗用不盡的能量，那是你以前從來沒有覺知到的。你首度知道說死亡只會發生在身體、頭腦、和心，而不會發生在你。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     你是永恆的，你一直都在這裡，你也將會永遠都在這裡，以不同的形式，而在最後則是以一種無形的狀態。你無法被摧毀，你是不可摧毀的，這種了解能夠從你身上帶走所有的恐懼，而恐懼的消失就是自由的出現，恐懼的消失就是愛的出現，加此一來，你就可以分享，你想要給多少就可以給多少，因為現在你是處於耗用不盡的活泉....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     靜心能夠使你變完整，使你變神聖，使你變成一個耗用不盡的泉源，去幫助那些飢餓的、口渴的、以及在黑暗中追尋、找尋、和摸索的人。你變成一道光....靜心是通曉你自己本性的一條路。不需要神、不需要教羲、也不需要聖書。沒有人需要變成一個基督徒、一個佛教徙、或是一個印度教教徙，那一切都是全然的無稽。一切所需要的就是去找到你的中心，而靜心就是去找到它最簡單的方式。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     它能夠使你在心靈上變完整、變健康，它能夠使你變得非常富有，使得你能夠摧毀世界上所有的心靈貧窮。心靈貧窮是真正的貧窮。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     身體在食物、衣服、和庇護所等方面的貧窮可以很容易藉著科學和科技而得到幫助，但是科學和科技無法給你喜樂，那超出它們的範圍。你或許可以擁有每一樣世界所能夠提供的東西，但是如果你沒有內心的和平、安詳、寧靜、和狂喜，你將仍然保持貧窮。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     事實上，你將會比以前更加感覺到你的貧窮，因為那個對照將會存在。你生活在金色的皇宮裡，但是你知道你是一個乞丐，那個金色的皇宮將成為一個對照，如此一來你可以看到內在什麼都沒有，你是空虛的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     那就是為什麼當人類變得越來越聰明，越來越成熟，就有越來越多人會開始覺得沒有意羲，越來越多人會開始覺得生命是偶然的，繼續活下去是沒有用的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     最近所有在西方發展出來的哲學都指出一件事﹕或許自殺是唯一的答案。當然，如果你不知道你的內在世界，而你已經擁有外在世界所能夠給你的每一樣東西，那麼自殺將會看起來好像是唯一的答案。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     靜心能夠使你的內在變富有，那麼自殺就會變得不可能，即使你想要摧毀你自己也沒辦法。你的本性是不可摧毀的，知道這個不朽是一項很大的自由，可以免於死亡、免於疾病、和免於老年。所有那些事情將會來了又去，但是你保持不被踫觸到、不被刮到，你內在的健康超越了任何疾病。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     它就在那裡，等待著被發現。&lt;div

type='html'>為身體固本培元，我們聽得多，但心靈上的固本培元，我們卻鮮有顧及。前些時，有位新相識的朋友因多年婚姻失敗，看過精神科醫生，近來又說見鬼，我就勸她固本培元吧！又有名年輕小伙子，老板刻薄，工作多，女朋友又不諒解，我也叫他固本培元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;人的心情，大多數都是隨著外在環境變化而波動。當遇到升職加薪，情人笑臉迎來，我們自然喜上眉梢；但若家人病倒或冤家得勢，那心情就沉重起來。人生本來就有得意和失意，但是當心靈脆弱而不如意事又壓頂而來，心便不能再負荷而出現嚴重問題。在離婚率高企、精簡架構和資源增值（都是增加壓力的代名詞）之聲不絕於耳的今天，不如意事真是十常八九。所以，我們應當學會保養心靈健康，多為精神固本培元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;何謂精神上的固本培元？失了平衡和過度波動的情緒，都會有損精神健康。首先我們要學會對世間上的得失看得淡些。&lt;strong&gt;現在的「得」，可能是未來的「失」；現在的「失」亦可能成就未來的「得」。&lt;/strong&gt;反正，人生本來就是變化無常，得得失失都是遷流不定。為了一兩次的得失而負面地影響一生，實在是太短視了。若能學會「只問耕耘，不問收穫」，當面對人生得失時，心就自然好過些。從工作中學習，得失中成長。目前的得失成敗，肯定不是永遠的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第二，要知道我們的「心」本來就健康，只是&lt;strong&gt;當心沉迷於外境世界，幻得幻失，妄想紛飛之時，心才有病&lt;/strong&gt;。我們要學到讓「心」休息，不要無了期追求外在的滿足和胡思亂想。求，是永無止境的。若把寶貴的心靈健康付託於外在世界和那些極不穩定的人和事，實在是太危險了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;讓心靜靜地安閒，無憎無愛，慢慢隨著呼吸而微笑，自在地融入那寧靜的安樂。&lt;/strong&gt;有時間就多去遊山玩水，和大自然打成一片，讓身心都享受一下無求任運的自在。當心能回復寧靜，自然能再次發揮它本有的光明和智慧。心靈的健康，本來就無須依靠外在的任何事物！不為外界所牽引，回過來照顧關懷本心，就是心靈的固本培元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一個健康的心比甚麼也寶貴。有健康的心靈，工作才能有效率，所以，多多關懷和照顧自己的心吧！這是你最好的投資。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;（作者簡介：

come），但仍可分享一些這方面的瑜伽經驗。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;入睡是最常發生的（正如練瑜伽的大休息savasana也常常易入睡）。可能是身體和精神在日間太消耗、太疲累所致；也可能是意識太散渙，難以集中，便不知不覺睡著了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因此，靜坐和冥想，最好不要在太疲累時練習。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最好在一個固定時間、寧靜的時刻練習。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;練習前，可以做一些簡單的拉筋，以及幾分鐘的調息法，例如「小風箱呼吸法」（坐直，慢慢腹式吸氣，讓空氣脹滿肚子和橫隔膜，然後用少於一秒的時間很快把它呼出來，這時印堂兩眉中間位置會有一種提神醒腦的震動）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不要躺著來練習，因為這個姿勢注定會使初學者很快入睡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;盤坐練習。這個姿勢很能穩定心情和力量。做不到蓮花坐，就做半蓮花，或簡單的至善坐或盤坐。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;適當地收緊底鎖、海底輪鎖、太陽叢鎖（這是瑜伽術語，簡單而言是輕輕挺胸收腹同時收緊生殖器附近的肌肉）。這能幫助意識的集中。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雙手置膝蓋上。最好同時做手印。意識手印、知識手印都好。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;意識停留在呼吸中。在個人經驗裡，我覺得最有效集中的方法是在呼氣時透過第三眼（third eye）默唸OM，這樣專注於一點上，較不易被紛亂的思緒打擾。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;每天就這練二十至三十分鐘。人的確會平靜許多，至少在之後的兩三個鐘頭內。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實，戀愛、行、住、坐、臥都（可以）是禪（就是那種「合一」的感覺）。只不過我們不是大師，還得借一些技巧輔助，來打開心靈美麗之門。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;開始持續每天練習冥想的習慣是慢慢從體位練習中培養出來的。之前的想法是，若他朝真的執教鞭做導師，就必須對每個式子的細節、做法和給身體的反應更加瞭如指掌，才可以再解釋指導別人。殊不知，在過程中，卻誤打誤撞，意外地走進冥想的狀態；在式子裡，竟一窺到專注當下的奧妙和喜悅，有點像中國禪學裡所說的「動禪」一樣，感覺非常快樂。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;即使心裡總渴望愛，包括別人的愛、愛著的人的愛，但仍相信，真正的愛，是由個人內心出發的，終極是不假求外。瑜伽在這方面已說得很清楚，也證明得很清楚，只要每天定時抽出二十分鐘，安安靜靜的坐下來，漸漸地，野馬般不馴的思緒會慢慢平靜下來，然後，從平靜裡，人會得著許多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;例如，掌握到身體微妙的細節。身體無時無刻跟我們溝通。肩痠了，它藉此告訴我們，過勞了，需要小休一會；下背痛了，它告訴我們幾十年的生活壓力已極度積壓在腰椎和下盆內，已瀕警戒線，是時候自救，否則你將崩潰（記得弗洛伊德的朵拉個案，hysteria，歇斯底里，是因為子宮生病嗎？）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;近來因為受傷的關係，放棄大部分體位練習，改而練習收攝和靜坐。而在最近幾次盤坐靜坐結束時，雙腳已很少麻痺了。身體告訴我，我的確是準備好了。體內潛伏的蛇（昆達里尼語）開始騷動。原來，受傷，也是上天送來的一份禮物，在被動裡，體會了動裡有靜，靜而不動的奧妙和偉大。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

生物學家們對章魚的試驗証明了這一點。章魚是生長在海洋里的一種凶殘動物，除了食殺其它魚類外，還經常與同類斯殺。奇怪的是，雌性章魚從排卵的第六天開始，就一反常態，變得極為溫順，開始絕食，全心全意地孵化魚卵。經過40多天，它的兒女們一旦被孵出，這條雌性章魚的生命也就走到了終點。雌章魚為什么會在生兒育女后悄悄地死亡呢？為了揭開這個秘密，科學家們對不同種類的章魚進行了對照研究，同時進行大量的解剖實驗。原來，奧秘就在章魚的眼窩后面的一對腺體上。這對腺體到了一定時候就會分泌一種化學物質，導致章魚自身死亡。生物學家稱這種化學物質為“死亡激素”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    人類有沒有類似章魚的這種“死亡之腺”呢？經過研究發現也是存在的。不過人類的“死亡之腺”不是長在眼后，而是長在人腦之中。人腦內有一種特別重要的腺體───腦垂體，它雖然只有5克重，不如一粒蠶豆大，卻調節、控制著人的生長發育、生殖及新陳代謝，重要的是它還促使甲狀腺分泌甲狀腺素。人類一旦缺少甲狀腺素，就會感到渾身乏力，也和雌章魚一樣不想吃東西。而且一旦甲狀腺素停止分泌，人就會衰竭死亡。科學家的研究証明，人的腦垂體也定期釋放“死亡激素”。“死亡激素”影響人的生命，從而使人走向死亡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    為了証明這一點，科學家又用年老體衰的大鼠做了對比試驗。把它的腦垂體切除掉，為了不影響其它激素的分泌，同時對大鼠移植人工甲狀腺素。奇跡出現了：老年大鼠的免疫功能及心血管系統竟然恢復了青春。腦垂體所分泌的“死亡激素”確是促使人類死亡的一個極其重要的原因。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    找到了根本，人類延長壽命就有了希望。但是，要延長人類壽命，可不能簡單地把腦垂體切除掉。因為這種方法雖然可以杜絕“死亡激素”的產生，但同時也斷絕了人類必需的其它各種激素。科學家目前面臨的任務是：搞清“死亡激素”是腦垂體的什么細胞產生的？通過什么渠道發揮它的作用？它的分子結構又是如何？有哪些因素可以使“死亡激素”減少、甚至停止分泌？在這些問題解決以后，人類就可以采用藥物、手朮等多種現代醫療技朮來破壞“死亡激素”的產生，或延緩它的出現，從而使人類的壽命得以延長。&lt;br

/&gt;幸好已病好七七八八，否則昨晚必死無疑！因為不但要練習成人心肺復甦法，也要練嬰兒心肺復甦法；不但要吹大人Anne，也要吹Baby Anne，少D氣力都唔得。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;同學說，回家後可繼續用枕頭來練習，冇得練吹，至少也有得練按壓技巧。好建議啊！因為課程快完結，下月中就要考試了（我一D書都未溫呢！），除非不介意肥佬，否則非要好好練習不可。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實自始至終，我對急救的興趣都普普通通。不過，可以學習新東西，還是滿滿的感覺良好。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大概是上了take course癮了，當下，已在考慮報讀另一個course。會是甚麼course呢？如無意外，應該會是 Fitness and Sport Science Foundation。不但因為有興趣也有需要，也因為個course比較便宜——要好好儲錢呢，否則以後根本無法報讀那些下下都要萬幾二萬蚊甚至更貴又只有幾個月長的瑜伽導師班。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.3  無知、我執、迷戀、厭棄、貪求，是生命的五種障礙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.4  無知是其餘幾項的溫床，無論是沉睡的、輕微的、可構成障礙的還是激烈的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.5  無知將那些不是永恆的、不純潔的、痛苦的、不屬真我的，認同為永恆的、純潔的、愉快的、屬於真我的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.6  我執是知覺者將自己認同於知覺的能力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.7  迷戀是對欲望的追逐。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.8  厭棄是住在痛苦之中。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.9  貪求在那些有學識的人之中仍然存在，是會自己助長的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.10  這些障礙還在精微階段時，可以做相反的事情來消除。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.11  如果成形以後，可以靜坐冥想來消除。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.12  那些障礙由過去的業行而來，在可見及不可見的界域發生作用。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.13  一旦生根，便影響生命的狀況、生命的長短和種種經驗。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.14  由於行善與行惡的不同，分別產生樂果與苦果。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.15  對於有智慧的人來說，甚麼都是苦的。因為一切都在改變，事物變成它們相反的狀態。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.16  還未來到的痛苦是可以避免的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.17  痛苦的因由是知覺者認同於被知覺者。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.18  此世界有各樣事物和知覺，是要讓我們解脫於這個宇宙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.19  自然有四種特性：特定的、非特定的、有分別的、無分別的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.20  知覺者只是知覺本身，雖然純潔，還是通過思維來看事物，而自我使他認同於這個思維。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.21  這種知見的性質是為了知覺者的好處。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.22  雖然對覺醒的人來說，這些都會毀去，但對其他人來說，仍然存在。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.23  知覺者與被知覺者遇合，便產生這個世界。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.24  無明是它的原因。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.25  如果沒有無明，沒有知覺者與被知覺者遇合，知覺者便得到自由。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.26  消滅無明有賴不斷的明辨。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.27  智慧有七個階段，隨著知識增長，一個接著一個展現。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.28  通過瑜伽的鍛鍊，那些雜染便會被知識之光去除，生出明辨的智慧。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.29  持戒、精進、調身、調息、攝心、凝神、入定、三摩地，是瑜伽的八支。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.30  非暴力、不說謊、不偷盜、不縱欲、不貪圖。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.31  無論何時、何地、在甚麼情況，屬於甚麼階級，這都是不可打破的誓言。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.32  內外潔淨、滿足、對身體及感官的控制，學習經典、對神順服，都是精進。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.33  如果有反對瑜伽的思想，要用相反的去對抗。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.34  毀滅的本能是有害的思想。無論是自己去做，去引生，或去認同。如果由貪婪、怒氣、迷惑成為動機，無論是溫和、中度還是猛烈，都會帶來無窮的苦難和無明，因此要發展出相反的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.35  只要確定非暴力，敵意便會消除。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.36  不說謊，便能得享工作的果報。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.37  不偷盜，便能得享財富。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.38  不縱欲，便能得享靈性上的強健。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.39  不貪圖，便能得到生命的知識。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.40  潔淨為身體帶來保護，不會因與他人接觸而被感染。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.41  精神上的潔淨，產生覺醒和對感官的控制。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.42  滿足產生最大的快樂。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.43  身體以及感官的完美，因持戒而消滅那些不潔而來。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.44  由不斷的學習達至與上天合一。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.45  三摩地是由注意力與神合一而產生。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.46  姿勢必須穩固舒適。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.47  控制不安，對無限作冥想，便能做到。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.48  這樣，便不會受二元性騷擾。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.49  掌握了姿勢以後，便要控制呼吸。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.50  控制吸氣和呼氣便是調息。在外、在內，以至於靜止不動，都因應時間、地點和數目而調節，呼吸又細又長。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.51  第四樣是呼吸既不在外，也不在內。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.52  於是對光之遮蔽便除去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.53  這樣精神便適合作冥想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.54  如果精神脫離了知覺，而知覺亦不與感官混合起來，注意力便與自己合一。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.55  於是達至對感官的最高控制。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

href="http://www.sahajayoga.org.hk/9_yoga.htm"&gt;這個網頁&lt;/a&gt;轉載而來。&lt;br /&gt;                          &lt;br /&gt;第一章  靜坐冥想&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.1  現在，我們要解釋甚麼是瑜伽。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.2  瑜伽是學會控制意識的轉變。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.3  這樣，知覺者便能還其本來面目。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.4  否則，我們便會認同於那些轉變。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.5  那些轉變有五種，痛苦的與不痛苦的：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.6  知識、謬誤、幻想、睡眠和記憶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.7  知覺、推論與親證都是知識。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.8  錯誤的知識是謬誤，不由實相而來。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1.9  字面的知識但沒有對象便是幻想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.10  覺醒的失去便產生睡眠。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.11  那些經驗過的事物還殘存的便是記憶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.12  通過鍛鍊和不執著於物，便能控制以上種種。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.13  堅持不懈便是鍛鍊。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.14  經過一段長時間，便能打下牢固的基礎。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.15  不執著便是對所見所聽之物，毫無欲望。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.16  由於知道了自己的真我，對世上種種都無欲無求，這便是最高的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.17  最高的冥想是由真我與宇宙聯合而產生真理、明辨、喜樂的知覺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.18  另一種冥想是由捨棄世俗和持久的鍛鍊達成，可以消解那些舊的習性。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.19  那些無分別的存有，沒有了身體，完全溶入最高的自然。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.20  其他人則要經過信心、發奮、記憶、靜慮、智慧等階段。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.21  有些人意願很強，很快便可進入冥想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.22  由溫和到強烈的鍛鍊，效果最好。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.23  此亦可由對神的順服達到。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.24  神的靈，不受任何性質或行動所影響。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.25  祂是所有知識的來源。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.26  祂是古人，以至於今人的導師。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.27  祂的象徵便是那神聖的聲音(AUM)。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.28  此聲應常念誦，便可達到成功。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.29  由它可達至宇宙的意識，並使一切毫無障礙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.30  疾病、怠惰、猶豫、疲弱、物欲、謬見、精神不集中、注意力不穩定，這些都是令意識分散的障礙。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.31  此外還有憂慮、緊張、呼吸不勻等。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.32  練習瑜伽可克服這一切。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.33  心境的平靜來自友誼、仁愛、喜樂和平等心。要平等對待快樂的與受苦的，值得的和不值得的，便能使意識純潔。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.34  控制呼吸也能克服這一切。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.35  精微的知覺產生最高的意識轉變，使心靈平靜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.36  這是由於那超越的、內在的光。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.37  亦由於意識控制了欲望。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.38  亦由於對夢境和睡眠的知識。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.39  亦由於靜坐冥想的鍛鍊。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.40  那聯合由小至原子大至無限都能主宰。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.41  真正的知見是知覺者、知覺的能力與被知覺者三者完全通透。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.42  知覺者能像通過無疵的寶石來直觀對象。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.43  真確的知識是能直觀對象。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.44  同時思維有所轉化，淨化了記憶，使對象能在無思維的狀態下呈現。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.45  精微的對象在無分別的情況下呈現。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.46  以上的叫有種子的冥想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.47  但如果達到無分別心的冥想，真我便呈現。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.48  智慧便與真理合一。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.49  此與言辭的推理截然不同。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.50  這種由靜坐冥想而生的狀態會超越以前的思想習性。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.51  這種控制一旦達成，便達到無種子的冥想。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;時候到了，似乎真的可以把相依了半生的文學暫時放下——嗯！我其實真的好年輕的，只不過我其實小學五年級已開始看Emily Bronte的《咆哮山莊》和海明威的《戰地春夢》這類經典外國文學而已。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;時候到了，最近進入另一段「學以致用」期。要幫雜誌勁翻譯瑜伽稿和寫其他健康類的稿，以上那一堆書，便成了參考時的好幫手。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;幸好在家工作，否則，實在很難想像怎樣才能把上述的書本抬回辦公室用來參考呢！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS：雜誌的創刊號已出版了。今期我的參與不多。下期就會多一點。&lt;br /&gt;PSS：封面人物竟是我喜歡的導師冰小姐！她在訪問中說：「能夠成為瑜伽老師，是幾世修來的事！經歷了很多關於瑜伽的智慧，才可以走到這一步！」讀罷，心裡滿是難言的感動。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>又去上課。在紅磡海隧等車，已知不妙。滾滾沙塵、車輛的汽油味，再加上風大，撲面而來的，盡是垃圾。是的，垃圾，身體不能接受的垃圾，氣管遭殃，不斷reflexively咳嗽叫救命。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;到達南華會的時候，咳得很厲害，於是去了高爾夫球場坐下休息一會兒。很多人在練習發球，眼看球兒霍地一聲便被打出九霄雲外，實在很有快意。對於他們的技術，我不懂判斷，但從他們發球的勁道而言，他們的腰力，實在是很不錯。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這天晚上Anna又來陪我們上課了。今次學壓心。先提顎、按頸動脈、聽呼吸、看氣息；然後是在胸骨兩乳頭正中下一吋處作按壓。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;按壓也有技巧，不可用蠻力，否則遇著是真人急救，傷者隨時可以因急救者的一股蠻力而導致骨折。按壓時，急救者要先跪地，身體正中與傷者乳頭成一L字形，雙手交疊，用肩膀借身體的力量向下壓，二十秒壓三十下，然後作人工呼吸。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今次我出師有名，有借口向講師要求不做人工呼吸：「阿Sir，我氣管發炎，可唔可以唔吹？」可能我的樣子太可憐了，也可能他心情好的關係，講師今次竟很「順攤」立即答應，而且語氣還非常溫柔，令我登時有點受寵若驚不好意思起來（畢竟我是誇大了病情）！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我們一個一個輪流出來練急救。一位男同學，很害羞的類型，在全班同學面前，竟緊張得手震，壓心壓到「卜卜聲」（旁邊的美少女空姐同學搗蛋地加V.O.說：「呀！我心口D骨斷哂啦！」），我們統統忍俊不禁。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;講師在旁，回復一貫有點寸的本色，向同學說：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「你唔駛咁緊張啦！係佢死ｏ者唔係你死呀！」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;說罷，大家嘩的一聲放聲大笑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;上了差不多兩個月的急救班，終於出現全場哄動的場面。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;昨天晚上終於學全個課程最重要的部分：CPR，心肺復甦法。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;那是甚麼呢？當然就是人工呼吸和心臟壓法。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;像上次一樣，講師又再在櫃桶底拿出一個箱子，內裡倘著的，是Anna。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anna是個假人，給大家用來練習CPR（因為太舊，她的左腳已甩了，好慘不忍睹啊！）。她生前原是瑞典人，在一次海上意外遇溺死了。她父親是個醫生，非常傷心，為了紀念她和造福世人，便照了她的樣子，精心研製假人幫醫護人員作急救練習之用。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;說回CPR。原來我們每天在電視上看的所謂人工呼吸（諸如男／女主角遇溺做人工呼吸然後有情人終成眷屬之類的老套情節），全是兒戲、做戲咁做而已！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今時今日，即使情況危急，都未必等如要進行人工呼吸，簡單如：傷者面部有創傷、沾有毒物、持續嘔吐、口內有異物等等，進行人工呼吸就十分危險。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而且凡學過急救、懂急救的人，每天身上都應帶著一張專門的急救面膜（見圖），方便在急切的情況下，用來做人工呼吸——即是說，絕不是直接且尷尬地口對口，而是非常安全、隔離和衛生地為傷者進行心肺復甦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;說回Anna，用她做人工呼吸原來極需技巧，要（扮）檢查脈搏、心跳、呼吸，又要按額、提顎、打開氣道，笨手笨腳、正值感冒著的我（我死死氣問阿Sir：「我感冒啊，可唔可以唔吹？」阿Sir即回答：「唔駛驚喎，有面膜唔會傳染架喎！」），練習時程序亂哂籠，到吹氣時，既掌握不到技巧，復四蹄發軟，滿眼金星，事後連聲也失掉，頭痛欲裂，辛苦死了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2006年，很自豪於只患了半次感冒的yogi的我，終於挺不住，今天早上醒來，完全變了一個失聲病人。真是死在Anna手上了！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Bingo! 全中！以下就是一般大眾市民做運動時常犯弄致受傷的錯誤。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;請認真閱讀，愛惜身體！&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;運動不當，很容易造成傷害，偏偏許多流傳普遍、行之多年的動作，在運動教練陸文灝眼中都是有害的動作，值得一一提醒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先，很多人為運動脖子，喜歡三百六十度繞頸，但這容易磨損頸椎的椎間盤，久了不僅脖子易疼痛，且可能導致頸椎骨刺；其替代動作可低頭、順著胸口作一百八十度繞頸。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其次，許多人作過身體三百六十度旋轉，以伸展胸肌、腹肌、背肌，但與三百六十度繞頸相同，這會使脊椎第四、第五節的椎間盤磨損，最好改以前彎及後彎分開作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另一個常見的錯誤動作是直腿站立、曲體前彎&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;（yogi phyllis按：即類似瑜伽的forward bends），&lt;/span&gt;以此伸展背部及腿部肌肉，但這也易造成椎間盤突出，若身體還前後搖擺振動&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;（即：bouncing）&lt;/span&gt;，傷害還會更嚴重；且前曲時把膝蓋打直，會使腿後筋的壓力變大，若加上振動，還可能拉鬆韌帶，導致關節受傷。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;專家建議，作屈體前彎時，應先屈膝、屈髖，身體再下壓，背儘量伸直，等到柔軟度增進時，再慢慢將腿打直。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;此外，以仰臥起坐訓練上腹部肌肉，十分常見，但很多人動作都不正確。例如，腿伸直、由人壓住，作仰臥起坐時會牽動全身，使背、腿、頸、肩全部用力，反而分散腹部力量，對原有背、頸問題的人，可能雪上加霜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;正確的仰臥起坐應屈膝，起身時下巴、胸口距離約一個拳頭，身體與頭部維持一直線，吐氣縮小腹，讓下背部貼地，雙手可輕托頭部、抱著額頭、或在胸前交叉，不必勾住頸部，然後輕輕抬肩，上半身離地約十五到三十度即可，&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;勿須達到九十度，&lt;/span&gt;再還原吸氣，平躺後放鬆肩膀。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;為訓練下腹部，有些人把身體躺平、直舉雙腿，此時下背部懸空，腿又高舉，會對脊椎（&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;即：腰椎&lt;/span&gt;）造成壓力，對腹肌、背肌不佳的人易傷背椎。最好以一腿屈膝支地，另一腿打直，慢慢上抬、再放下，背部一定要貼地，以腹部力量舉腿。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;還有一個常見危險動作是在空中踩腳踏車，這樣雖可預防蘿蔔腿，但易壓迫頸、背椎、上背部肌肉，最好在臀部下方墊枕頭以支撐背椎，腳高舉直，腳踝交替屈伸、或將腳擱在牆上，一樣有助小腿血液循環。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;轉載自【2002/12/13 民生報】&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

/&gt;不是體操，不是運動（雖然它有運動的益處）。前兩者只會消耗身體的能量，瑜伽卻可以增加滋養身體的能量。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;是一種生活態度，心靈的成長和鍛鍊。如果純粹追求做到某一兩個動作，喜歡與別人比較的話，那不過是體操，請不要再「玩」下去了，因為，每個人身體結構都不同，有些動作，無論怎樣練，都會被先天或後天所侷限，因而做不來。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;體位法（Asanas）只是哈達瑜伽（Hatha Yoga）的某一項，也是瑜伽八肢（Eight Limbs of Yoga）的第三項而已，不要將它以偏概全，等同為瑜伽的全部。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;冥想（Dhyana）是八肢的第七肢，到達三摩地（Samadhi）前的最後階段；然而，只要懂得專注（mindfulness），懂得在體位動作、甚至生活裡進行自我觀察，享受呼吸的當下，就是禪，就是冥想之境，並非必須正襟危坐才謂之「冥想」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;練瑜伽的人未必能常常保持內心的平衡、無欲無求，正如一些自命虔誠的教徒也未必是好人一樣。我們總有許多憂慮，以及人與人之間的恩怨和糾纏；瑜伽不是萬能藥，但只要安全、保持耐性，它就是沒副作用的止痛藥，而且愈吃愈叫人快樂。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>脂肪是由脂肪細胞組成，其主要功能是儲存能量。脂肪細胞以脂的形式儲存能量，當身體需要時再釋放出去。脂肪被纖維結締組織分隔成小脂肪團，在真皮（構成皮膚深層的組織）和肌肉之間呈簇分布。當脂肪細胞儲存的能量大於其消耗時，體積就會明顯變大，脂肪開始堆積。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在女性臀部和髖部的皮膚表面，常常能看到大量深淺不等的凹陷，通常稱作奶酪狀外觀。這是由於該區域連接皮膚深層面與包裹肌肉筋膜的條索纖維缺乏彈性，導致纖維束之間的脂肪外突造成的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這個特點對女性有重要作用：當身體能量的吸收大於消耗時，脂肪儲存加快，皮下脂肪被纖維結締組織網所分隔，當結締組織網收縮時，通過該區域的淋巴管和血管也收縮，物質交換降低，血液不能立即到達該區域帶走儲存的脂肪酸，&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;因此，這就很容易理解為甚麼這些區域的脂肪難以減去，甚至是高強度的鍛鍊也不能完全減去。例如，女性常可通過節食來減輕體重，縮小乳房，但臀部的脂肪仍然存在。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

/&gt;今時今日漂亮的女導師比比皆是，唯獨男導師，就，嗯……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這位有型的yogi，大概是迄今見過的瑜伽男人中最好看的：大隻，但覆蓋在身體上的，統統是瘦長的肌肉，強壯有力，柔軟度又極高，一舉手一投足，結合了舞者和瑜伽人的優雅內斂之美。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大師級如Iyengar和他的超級師父Krishnamacharya，雖已穩坐武林盟主的地位，但他們的身型（指的是年輕時），仍嫌略瘦小，令人錯覺以為瑜伽純粹是餐風飲露之士的譚崔式的修鍊秘技。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;即使來到21世紀，仍有很多人覺得瑜伽是女人的減肥玩意，男人不該練，除非他是娘娘腔，除非他是排骨精（著實見過很多一做upward facing dog或arms up 胸前就露出一副肋骨的男人，的確幾可怕）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再看看這位荷蘭瑜伽士，練習時那一副自戀卻專注的氣質，將肌肉的條理和力量完全「靈魂化」，將人體（肌、骼）的美（米高安哲羅式）、瑜伽動態和靜態的美，重新、甚至進一步在時間的長廊裡予以凝固。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再世俗、虛榮、膚淺一點：如果（你認為）Rodney Yee是瑜伽界的劉德華，那麼這位仁兄，就該是梁朝偉了。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

pervert），站在最前最正中的位置，幾乎用嗅著的距離觀看。也因為如此貼近，不但看清楚顱骨內一切奇特的結構，也吸入了很多從骨頭內傳來的灰塵，弄得鼻子癢癢，好不辛苦。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;站在死亡面前，心是最平靜的。對照之下，自會覺得追追逐逐地做人，實在無聊，也叫人疲累。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yoga'/><title type='text'>普拉提重光日</title><content type='html'>翻閱有關腹肌和髖骨的解說，發現中、西方對「軸心」的理論不謀而合；中國武功講求的勁道，必須有強而有力的腰部作穩定支撐；而西方的普拉提和被西化了的瑜伽，對這一地帶同樣也非重視。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雖然已完成生命中第一個導師班（以後大概陸續有來），但一直不滿意自己的Chaturanga和push-up；又因為想練好Bakasana (crane) 和Bhujapidasana（以及想學Peacock），卻難求突破：Chaturanga，做多過十下就開始想死；Bakasana，無法超越二十秒不跌的長度。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;看《Anatomy of Hatha Yoga》怎樣說：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A sure way to develop what yogis call inner strength is to tone the abdominal region. If energy in the arms and shoulders is weak, a strong abdomen can give you an extra edge, but if the abdomen is weak, look out, because even the strongest arms and shoulders are likely to fail you.” (David Coulter, P.139)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;讀罷，不得不死死氣拿本發黃的《普拉提自學天書》，自命不凡地揭去「中級程度」的部分練了半句鐘——沒用，沒教練在旁催促，人只會不停蒙混過去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;至於做得最「誠實」的，只有Criss Cross、Single Leg Stretch、Neck Pull（pull了超過三十下！）和Swan（與Cobra pose很相似，似乎好易啊！）。雖然流了一點汗，但自己的所謂「腹肌」，卻完全無「被火燒」的正常感覺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;唯一得著的，是學會將瑜伽對呼吸的專注套用在普拉提上，而令過程充滿了專注的喜悅。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;為了練就一身瑜伽武功，似乎真的不能不由中央地帶重新出發：得閒看看健身中心的schedule，然後返回Pilates班重新修身和修心。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='html'>急救班阿Sir教書十分快速，一輪嘴的說說說，然後就叫我們回家讀書、溫書、練習，又叫我們多留意一些意外傷亡的新聞，留意不同意外、傷者的不同傷勢，說可以有助了解急救究竟是甚麼一回事云云。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這位阿Sir，有三十多年的急救經驗，正所謂見慣大場面，上課時，最喜歡繪影繪聲地分享過去經驗，而那些經驗，對於迷戀人體解剖學的我，也覺得幾鬼恐怖：阿婆對腳怎樣被一輛大貨車壓扁、一支鐵管怎樣插在一個男人的肚裡、某傷者怎樣被剖開肚子連腸子也流了出來、某男孩的眼睛怎樣被鉛筆插中……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;啊！這位阿Sir，說的時候完全「沒感情」，似乎真的「化了」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;倒是苦了在座我們這些未見過世面的人，聽著聽著，不是眼睜睜，就是毛管時不時都會豎直。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;似乎，除了要克服這「膽小」的問題外，下次大概應該帶備羽絨大衣，以備不時之需。&lt;div

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有沒有覺得，身邊滿是噪音、躁狂病患者，不停在耳邊轟炸；情緒「走在繩子盡頭」（at the end of the rope），卻苦無對策，避無可避？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;又或是，無良雇主無止境地加重自己的工作量、親友不體諒、你愛的人沒用你期待的方式去愛你；憤怒一天一天積壓在心裡，卻又無從宣洩，日日朝九晚十二，斷六親、失自由、失健康，甚至最後連生存意志也失去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;生命攸關，最好，當然是Say NO，然後遠離上述環境。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但，既身處江湖，那有這麼容易、話遠離就遠離？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;既然控制不了外在環境，那麼，惟有被動一點，坐下來做做這個「防止七孔流血式」（Closing 7 gates）：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;步驟：&lt;br /&gt;1.盤腿坐或坐在椅上，挺直腰板；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.舉起雙手，貼臉，手背向外；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.先將左右大姆指分別插入耳孔；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.雙目閉上，再將食指按著眼皮；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.中指輕輕按在鼻孔上；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6.閉上嘴巴（不要像相中人般張開嘴巴），無名指和尾指按在嘴上；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7.深深吸一口氣，然後用中指緊緊閉上鼻孔，垂頭，將下巴按在鎖骨上；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.閉氣10至15秒（這時會「見」到很多星星），期間你可以在心裡咒罵幾聲，發洩不滿。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9.  最後抬頭；慢慢將氣從鼻子呼出。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;重複：&lt;br /&gt;看個人需要吧。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;功效：&lt;br /&gt;防止因激氣而導致的七孔生煙、七孔流血；幫助收攝眼耳鼻舌身意，讓心境回復平靜，提高EQ，然後樂得讓世界繼續瘋狂下去。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Turlington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But these are her words, which made me think we are the same when it comes to our own passion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the same path everyone would go through, so personal and lonely, which in the end makes us a happy and sincere yogi (I would say I am definitely becoming).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Many of us who are drawn to yoga share aspirations of freedom, but we soon realize the real journey to freedom begins inside. Once you start the journey, there is no return. This personal journey will require courage, as others may have a hard time accepting the changes you may choose as you find your way along on this quest. Once you discover yoga, however, you will feel empowered by the knowledge that you have cultivated and the necessary tools with which you have been equipped, especially the breath, which will bring you back home to yourself time and again.&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;You may find, as I did, that the breath can be one of the greatest friends or lovers we will ever know.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;The breath is more intimate than anything else could ever be because it reaches the innermost spaces inside of our bodies.

Today, we live in a sedantary world, we are somewhat couch-potatoes; we worry about ourselves but on the other hand, we hardly move but slouch and bend over at desk, either looking for miracles happen, or doing paperwork which seems never end.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's face it - we are in a rut, a life rut.  Perhaps the best thing, the first thing to get away from this rut, is to stand up and free our bodies - it is at least a first step before we can truly get some spirit and free our minds.&lt;div

/&gt;很多年沒見過他了。幾年前還血氣方剛，曾經上過他的一課瑜伽班，只覺得十分辛苦和「悶」（那時只愛aerobics）。誰會料到，幾年後的今天，人已變，click一click，便愛上瑜伽（其實要多謝他，因為我的啟蒙老師Maggie，原本就是由大師K訓練出來的），更熱愛生命，對任何傷身害體的劇烈運動早已敬而遠之。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在整整兩小時三十分鐘裡，大師談的盡是生命課題；何謂人生、自我、活著的價值、愛、關係、持戒、精進、瑜伽八支、飲食、健康（他說：if you keep practising, yoga can make you 15 years younger than your age!）；然後，又教我們做某幾個式子（超辛苦！）、一些呼吸的學問……我們乖乖的專心聆聽和練習，在這麼一瞬間，我忽爾覺得，這是整個training course裡最獲益良多、最感動和忘我的一個晚上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在恍惚間，我從鏡子裡，看見了自己，一個笑著的自己。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Training已接近尾聲。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;同學們彷彿成了戰友，開始盤算下年會否參加另一個更高級的導師訓練班。大家一致認同，這個課程太要求我們在短時間內學習很多東西，是故不夠全面（的確，怎可以不教人體解剖學的？!）；另一方面，我們卻十分喜歡這位訓練班導師，幾乎統統變了她的fans，更希望可以繼續跟隨她學習。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我們開始交換聯絡，最後更與大師和導師一起合照，場面溫馨快樂，把考試的壓力暫時拋諸腦後。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

href="http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2005/12/1-pigeon-pose.html"&gt;Pigeon Pose&lt;/a&gt;！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;繼頭倒立後，這個是最心儀的一個瑜姿。除了優美好看外，它能令整條脊椎（尤其是腰椎）變得非常柔軟和強壯，同時拉鬆下盆、收緊下背、打開肩膀，令身體所有關節的柔韌度大大提升，進入另一個新境界。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;後彎腰的動作其實不大適合初學者。自問不是初學者，但若要成功做隻「鴿子」的話，我今後還得從各款後仰式入手，那便指「後」可待了。&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;同學們真是臥虎藏龍。除了幾位兼職瑜師外，還有空手道教練、游泳教練、大學音樂講師和音樂導師。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今天與某位同學聊天，得悉她根本未學過瑜伽，卻竟身手不凡，舉重若輕。旁敲側擊下，才知道她正職是舞蹈和Pilates導師！怪不得可以在毫無準備下，氣定神閒地向各人示範一個非常講求腰力的提腿朝天90度動作。噢，真是有眼不識泰山！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;遲些「了」起條筋想學跳舞的話，又多一個選擇了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今晚用了很多時間學習教學法，兼且人人都要即席做導師。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我被老師抽中要示範Camel Pose。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一向不喜歡這個動作，尤不喜歡它對頸椎和膝蓋造成的壓力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但既然要教了，就得努力去教好它——用毛巾或摺厚張墊幫膝蓋卸力、跪地、膝蓋打開與臀寬、hip square、pull navel into spine、收緊大腿、下背、雙手按著下背、吸氣、仰後、慢慢把右手和左手按在腳上、大腿收繄用力、hip向前推、頭最後向後仰、打開肩膀、保持自然呼吸……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一輪嘴的說說說和做做做，感覺與每天跟姪兒玩耍的情境竟沒甚麼分別。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但因為面對眾人，今次情況竟變得更加好玩。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;好玩。如果教學真的如此好玩，那麼這門學問，便真的值得繼續花心思和時間鑽研下去。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

/&gt;老師用一半以上時間教式子。被迫練習從前一些害怕的、不喜歡做的動作。在面對的過程裡，彷彿與心魔鬥爭，時勝時負之餘，也愈來愈有所得著：不單是力量和柔韌度（啊，老師讚我雖然瘦削，但意料之外地有力量呢！），還有心的得著。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因為，通常害怕的、不喜歡的，往往是一些需要克服、跨越的弱點；人，永遠渴望十全十美，少能真正坦然豁達地面對自己的好與壞；在此底下，練習瑜伽，從「修身」裡，不知不覺變了「修心」；在呼吸的微妙平衡中，人，變得更專注，也更坦然、更「無所謂」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;就像上課時，同學們一起練headstand、crane pose，雖然個個最後變了滾地冬瓜，卻打成一片，嘻嘻哈哈快樂得像開派對一樣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我知道我是幸福的，因為我有瑜伽，給我無限包容和推動。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，我是萬二分願意將我的幸福分享給身邊的人，現在只希望時間能給我更大的耐性和包容。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;早前報讀了聖約翰救傷隊的急救學證書課程。月底開學。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;純粹是興趣。只希望學一些急救常識助己助人，再沒別的期待。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;誰料，今天他們致電給我，說課程有變動，可能辦不成了，問我會否介意調班，他們可安排我去讀另一個課程——就是那個真正培訓救傷隊員的專業課程，不但學費不變（已經好便宜呢！），而且會有更多實習和培訓的機會，說不定畢業後（當然先要通過考試），可以加入做救傷隊員呢！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;先不說這個課程會不會很難讀，單就「學費不變、更多野學」，已經令我覺得如中彩票。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再想深一層，未來若能在CV上添加「瑜伽導師、XXX救傷隊員」這些乜頭，的確是挺過癮的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;嗯，運氣實在不錯。去買注六合彩先！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

/&gt;這些印度大師，從小鍛鍊筋骨，無時無刻都可以做高難度動作，未必明白我們市民大眾一般問題和限制，總以為人人都像他們一樣輕巧，不用熱身、隨隨便便就可以做拱橋、拉一字馬；有時候他們更熱心過頭，逼學生跟著做，意外就這樣發生。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其實，印度大師是高手，他們在身體和靈性的修維都較高，只適合高級的瑜伽修行者去追隨。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;至於初學者，尤其是滿身創傷、身體僵硬的人，最好還是跟隨一些注意身體細節的老師去學習（特別推薦Iyengar yoga一派）。這些老師大部分都是「過來人」，可能受過傷、可能原本是肌肉僵硬的人，因此會明白我們身體的各種極限，知道力量和柔軟度得來並不易。跟其學習，雖然會覺得「濕碎」，卻安全得多，才能從練習中體會真正的樂趣和益處。&lt;div

/&gt;舉例說，做Warrior I時，虛有姿勢，沒有實際，不知道原來這個姿勢要鍛鍊的是hip flexors、後腿hamstrings及臀大肌，而錯誤地在final pose上將身體重心全部放在前腳，便容易增加前腳膝頭的壓力，久而久之，會造成膝蓋移位、甚至軟骨磨損的傷害。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Samadhi is in the details，一個正確的姿勢，對整體的安全和健康十分重要。提手、拗腰，郁動的，並不只是手和腰，而是整體肌肉和骨骼的配合、協調。Everything happens as a whole，一組肌肉必須適當收緊，相對的另一組才能適當地伸展。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這就是互動。正如我喜歡你，我愛惜你，但也需要你給我配合；而你更必須是一個懂得自我尊重、珍惜的人，才有讓別人愛惜的條件。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Avoid hyperextending. When joints are overly mobile and flex too far back, they're hyperextended. In the knees, hyperextension often occurs in poses in which the legs are straightened, such as Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) and Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend), putting an unhealthy tension on the ligaments. If you're prone to hyperextension, keep a slight bend in the knees during standing poses and keep your weight evenly distributed among the four corners of your feet. In seated forward bends, place a rolled-up sticky mat or towel under the knee of the extended leg or legs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Start with your feet. Proper alignment through the feet is the key to building strength evenly in the ligaments on both sides of the knee; when all the ligaments are equally strong, the kneecap glides effortlessly up and down and the cartilage doesn't get worn down. Separate your toes and press actively through the four corners of your feet in every pose, even inversions. If your feet are out of alignment, your knees are going to suffer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 Keep your knees in line. When moving into deep knee bends, such as Virabhadrasana II (Warrior Pose II) and Parsvakonasana (Side Angle Pose), first align your bent knee over your ankle, then draw your kneecap in line with your second toe. Maintain awareness in your back foot, pressing down evenly, while lifting up from the arch of your front foot. "If you let the arch drop, the knee falls inside the big toe, and you're set up to suffer a number of different kinds of overuse and acute knee injuries," says Angela Smith, a professor of orthopedic surgery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 Tune in to subtle signals. "Oftentimes, the knees don't give immediate feedback," explains Iyengar teacher Joni Yecalsik. "Only later do you realize you've gone too far. When it comes to the knees, the sensation that would normally proceed the red flag is the red flag." If you feel achiness when you come out of a bent-knee pose, you may have worked too hard. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 Build strength by balancing. Balancing poses, especially those that require moving through a bent standing leg, such as Garudasana (Eagle Pose), are especially beneficial. "Very dynamic balancing protects the knee against future injury by training the functional alignment, not just working the muscle," Smith says. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6 Be prop-friendly. When it comes to seated asanas, nothing makes a tight knee happier than a bounty of props. In Virasana (Hero Pose), try raising your seat with blankets or a block. Anytime the knees are deeply bent, such as in Balasana (Child's Pose) or Marichyasana III (Pose Dedicated to the Sage Marichi III), pressure can be relieved by placing a rolled-up washcloth as far into the knee pit as possible before bending the joint. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 Warm up with hip openers. "If your big joints aren't open, your small joints will always take the stress," yoga instructor Sandy Blaine says. "Many people hurt their knees doing Lotus when their hips aren't ready." She recommends warming up with hip stretches like Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Gomukhasana (Cow Face Pose).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18858983-115657889794709319?l=gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/feeds/115657889794709319/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=18858983&amp;postID=115657889794709319&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/115657889794709319'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18858983/posts/default/115657889794709319'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gotoyourhealth.blogspot.com/2006/08/7-ways-to-protect-your-knees-in-yoga.html' title='7 Ways to Protect Your Knees in Yoga'/><author><name>phyllischan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02827597997512311414</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jwP36eBVHQw/TEqd2mJVlEI/AAAAAAAAAZI/6nMDdglVniw/S220/IMG_4507.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858983.post-115656373347049682</id><published>2006-08-26T11:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-08-26T11:42:13.483+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yoga'/><title type='text'>Noisy Joints</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;The popping, cracking joints you hear while practicing yoga may be problematic or not, depending on the cause.&lt;/strong&gt;    ~ By YJ Staff, &lt;em&gt;Yoga Journal&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cracking and popping noises can be attributed to a few different phenomena. One explanation is that when a joint is pushed into or out of its normal position (which could be done during a yoga pose) gases, primarily nitrogen, are displaced and escape from the synovial fluid inside the joint, causing a popping sound. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another reason for the noise, according to frequent Yoga Journal contributor and international yoga teacher Judith Lasater, comes from a tendon moving across a joint or from arthritic changes that have already occurred in the joint. She believes that if this popping occurs naturally during yoga practice, or in daily life, for that matter, there is not a problem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it is unadvisable to continually try to pop one's joints (i.e., cracking the knuckles). This practice tends to create hypermobility and can lead to instability in the joint. This instability can cause the surrounding musculature to tighten up a bit to support the joint and thus the urge to pop will arise again, says Lasater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the popping is from a tendon moving across a joint or from arthritis, continue to pay attention to the area, and if the symptoms change, or if there is pain associated with a popping or cracking noise, seek the counsel of a qualified health professional.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

up，已不停down-dog、up-dog、plank地做。不消十分鐘，個個同學不是頭頂冒煙，就已經做著出水芙蓉；間中還夾雜一兩聲濃重的呼吸聲和呻吟聲，整個課室儼如夏日刺腳的沙灘，熱辣辣、濕立立，卻又充滿人的活力！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;兩句鐘後，除了某些性感的部位，整件運動衣已完全濕透，恍如被洗衣機洗禮過一樣！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今次真是一回非常厲害的有氧操，運動量之高，根本與上了一課六十分鐘的kickboxing沒分別！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;愈來愈覺得這個老師「正」；教導細心、示範詳盡又好看、人又靚聲又甜。無奈在一個課堂裡，有太多東西要記和學了；耳朵和手常常不協調，常常來不及記下重點；到記好了，老師卻已教著別的東西。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;肌肉強壯，才能保護身體減低被拉傷的機會（最容易拉傷的地方，多為下背）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;肌肉的伸縮性，相對於韌帶（ligaments）和肌腱（tendons），高許多、許多；伸縮性愈大，愈代表它強壯和柔韌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最重要是，關節需要強壯的肌肉來保護，否則附近的韌帶和肌腱容易鬆弛，容易被拉傷，更容易傷關節。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;如果你身形瘦削，柔軟度卻異常高，先不要太早高興，因為上述情況絕有機會發生在你身上。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technically，有所謂hyperextension（過度伸展），最容易發生在上述人士身上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;必須對人體結構（尤其是自己身體）有所認識，才能減少受傷的機會。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以下精選幾個「瑜姿」，多練習吧（每天練半至一句鐘），它們可以強化肌肉，打造一個漂亮又扎實的身形：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.&lt;a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/492_1.cfm"&gt;山式&lt;/a&gt;（Mountain Pose）：強化大腿和膝蓋，改善姿勢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2&lt;a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/1708_1.cfm"&gt;.戰士第一式&lt;/a&gt;（Warrior I）：強化大腿，同時伸展軀幹肌肉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.&lt;a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/784_1.cfm"&gt;月半式&lt;/a&gt;（Half Moon）：強化大腿，同時改善hip的柔軟度，改善平衡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4.&lt;a href="http://www.yogajournal.com/poses/471_1.cfm"&gt;眼鏡蛇式&lt;/a&gt;（Cobra Pose）：強化後背、臀部、大腿，伸展脊椎。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5&lt;a
