脈輪(chakras)簡介 |
Introduction to the chakras |
何謂脈輪和她們影響的心理屬性 脈輪是人體能量的中心,位於身體的中軸線上。人身一共有七個脈輪,脈輪主要影響的是人的心理狀態。位於身體底部的數個脈輪主要主導本能部分,身體頂端附近的脈輪則影響我們的思想部分。 脈輪有不同的活躍程度。當她們呈現"活躍"狀態時,表示這些脈輪在正常運作狀態中。 在理想狀態下,所有脈輪都會對我們情緒和感覺發揮正面作用。但實際上,通常部分脈輪會不夠活躍以致於無法發揮作用,或部分脈輪過度活躍。理想狀態是所有的脈輪呈現平衡狀態。 目前存在有許多開發脈輪能量的方式,大部分都是以打開某脈輪為主。由於部分的脈輪過度活躍,因此不適合降低活躍脈輪的活躍程度,因為他們本身的能量已經用於補充其他不活躍的脈輪。恢復能量平衡的方式,建議開啟不活躍的脈輪,使各個脈輪達到能量平衡。 . 1 - 海底輪(Root chakra) 海底輪的能量主要掌管與肉體的聯繫,使人感覺安全放心。如果海底輪處於活躍狀態,你將覺得有種"身植大地"的感覺,感到穩定和安全。你不會不必要的懷疑他人。你覺得活在當下,而且和你的肉體緊密結合。你覺得你有充分的領域感。 如果你容易覺得恐懼或緊張,你的海底輪可能並未開啟。你很容易感覺不受歡迎。 如果你的海底輪過度活躍,你可能有很強烈物慾和貪心,你可能會過於追求安定和拒絕改變。 . 2 - 本我輪(Sacral chakra) 本我輪主要掌管情感和性慾。當本我輪打開時,你的情感表達自如,而且表達時不會流於過度情緒化。你對於親密關係採取開放態度。你感覺充滿熱情和活力。你對於性方面沒有問題。 如果你通常感覺僵硬、缺乏情感或是常常面無表情,則本我輪尚未開啟,你對於他人採取封閉態度。 如果本我輪過度活躍,你總是過度情緒化。你在情緒上將會過度依附你認為性感的人身上。 . 3 - 臍輪(Navel chakra) 臍輪主要掌管你在團體中的感覺。當臍輪活躍時,你感覺在掌控中而且有足夠的自信心。 當臍輪不活躍時,你容易呈現被動和難下決定。你可能變成惟惟諾諾而無法取得你想要的。 如果此脈輪過度活躍,則你可能會有強烈控制慾和侵略性。 . 4 - 心輪(Heart chakra) 心輪主要掌管愛,善良等一般情感。當心輪打開時,你會具有同情心、友善,並且你會致力於和諧的人際關係。 當你的心輪不活躍時,你會冷漠和與人保持距離。 如果此脈輪過度活躍時,你的過度溺愛會令人窒息,並且通常你的愛背後有相當自私的理由。 . 5 - 喉輪(Throat chakra) 喉輪主要掌管自我表達和言談。當喉輪活躍時,你將無障礙的表達你自己,你可以藉此而成為藝術家。 當喉輪不活躍時,你傾向不說話,你的個性傾向內向害羞。不說真心話可能會使此脈輪封閉。 如果喉輪過度活躍,你容易太過多話,通常喜歡掌控談話以致於使人們無法接近你,因為你不是一個好的傾聽者。 . 6 - 三眼輪(Third eye chakra) 三眼輪主要掌管洞察力和視覺化能力。當此脈輪活躍時,你會有很好的直覺,並且喜歡幻想。 如果此脈輪不活躍,你傾向於依賴權威而非自己的思考。你可能會過於依賴信念而非理性批判。你甚至可能容易陷入迷惑。 如果此脈輪過於活躍,你可能活在幻想的世界中,在極端的情況下,有可能產生幻覺。 . 7 - 頂輪(Crown chakra) 頂輪主要掌管智慧及和世界為一體的感覺。當此脈輪活躍時,你會傾向沒有偏見,並且十分意識到此世界和你的存在。 如果此脈輪不活躍,你將不會察覺到精神世界的存在。你可能在思考十分受限。 如果此脈輪過度活躍,你將可能過度思考事物。你可能對於精神世界追求過度熱中並解忽略你身體的需要。 |
What chakras are and their psychological properties Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras located on the lower part of our body are our instinctual side, the highest ones our mental side. The chakras can have various levels of activity. When they're "open," they're considered operative in a normal fashion. Ideally, all chakras would contribute to our being. Our instincts would work together with our feelings and thinking. However, this is usually not the case. Some chakras are not open enough (being under-active), and to compensate, other chakras are over-active. The ideal state is where the chakras are balanced. There exist lots of techniques to balance the chakras. Mostly techniques to open chakras are used. It makes no sense to try to make over-active chakras less active, as they are compensating for other chakras. To restore the compensation they'd be over-active again in no time. To stop them from compensating, the chakras they are compensating for must be opened. . 1 - Root chakra The Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If it is open, you feel grounded, stable and secure. You don't unnecessarily distrust people. You feel present in the here and now and connected to your physical body. You feel you have sufficient territory. If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. You'd easily feel unwelcome. If this chakra is over-active, you may be very materialistic and greedy. You're probably obsessed with being secure and resist change. . 2 - Sacral chakra The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. When it is open, your feelings flow freely, and are expressed without you being over-emotional. You are open to intimacy and you can be passionate and lively. You have no problems dealing with your sexuality. If you tend to be stiff and unemotional or have a "poker face," the Sacral chakra is under-active. You're not very open to people. If this chakra is over-active, you tend to be emotional all the time. You'll feel emotionally attached to people and you can be very sexual. . 3 - Navel chakra The Navel chakra is about asserting yourself in a group. When it is open, you feel in control and you have sufficient self esteem. When the Navel chakra is under-active, you tend to be passive and indecisive. You're probably timid and don't get what you want. If this chakra is over-active, you are domineering and probably even aggressive. . 4 - Heart chakra The Heart chakra is about love, kindness and affection. When it is open, you are compassionate and friendly, and you work at harmonious relationships. When your Heart chakra is under-active, you are cold and distant. If this chakra is over-active, you are suffocating people with your love and your love probably has quite selfish reasons. . 5 - Throat chakra The Throat chakra is about self-expression and talking. When it is open, you have no problems expressing yourself, and you might be doing so as an artist. When this chakra is under-active, you tend not to speak much, and you probably are introverted and shy. Not speaking the truth may block this chakra. If this chakra is over-active, you tend to speak too much, usually to domineer and keep people at a distance. You're a bad listener if this is the case. . 6 - Third Eye chakra The Third Eye chakra is about insight and visualization. When it is open, you have a good intuition. You may tend to fantasize. If it is under-active, you're not very good at thinking for yourself, and you may tend to rely on authorities. You may be rigid in your thinking, relying on beliefs too much. You might even get confused easily. If this chakra is over-active, you may live in a world of fantasy too much. In excessive cases halucinations are possible. . 7 - Crown Chakra The Crown chakra is about wisdom and being one with the world. When this chakra is open, you are unprejudiced and quite aware of the world and yourself. If it is under-active, you're not very aware of spirituality. You're probably quite rigid in your thinking. If this chakra is over-active, you are probably intellectualizing things too much. You may be addicted to spirituality and are probably ignoring your bodily needs. |
生命的奧祕:七大脈輪(Chakra) 簡介
Chakras即脈輪是身體中匯聚能量之地,人體的七個脈輪位於身體的不同部份。人體的各種精神問題、生理問題的根源就是失衡的脈輪。保持脈輪平衡有助於身心的健康,並且改善整體的生活。
脈輪 (chakra),梵文意思是輪子、轉動,指能量彙聚集中於身體的某部位(即能源中心),循環轉動,成為體內能量出入的管道。古印度瑜伽術認為,人體有七個能源中心,且都以盤旋的輪狀出現,貫穿身體的前後部分,能接收和傳達精神,以及性等方面的能量。因此脈輪可以說是存在於身體、掌管身心運作的生命能量控制中樞,對身體各個器官的機能、感情、精神都施加影響。(源自《圖解冥想》藍梅著)。
主要的脈輪有七個,這七個主要脈輪沿著頭頂至脊椎底部分布,有時亦會被稱為「潛藏於身體深處的內在器官」。除了七個主要脈輪,身體還有很多大大小小的脈輪遍佈全身,就好像中國人所說的“穴位“一樣,大大小小的“穴位“都有其對應器官,對影響著情緒。
脈輪也被稱為「精神能量中樞」,他們與土、水、火、空氣和乙太(ether)五大自然元素連結,而這些元素的特性會影響到人的身心特質,我們在阿育吠陀的五元素及三體質中,也有提及過這個概念。
