五种深度净化身体的方法

How these five elements behave within you, will determine just about everything. First thing that we need to do is to start cleansing the five elements. If you have mastery over the elements, you not only have mastery over the body, over the mind, over the very creation. Life will happen in magical ways.

这五大元素在你内在如何表现，几乎会决定一切。我们需要做的第一件事就是开始净化这五大元素。如果你掌握了这五大元素，你就不仅掌握了身体，掌握了头脑，还掌握了整个造物。生命将以神奇的方式发生。

Sadhguru:This body, this very earth, the universe and the cosmos, all are just a play of five elements. This body’s composition is such that 72% of this body is water, approximately 12% is earth, 6% is air, 4% is fire and the rest is space or akash. How these five elements behave within you will determine just about everything. Bhuta means element. Bhuta Shuddhi means to become free from the taint of elements or to cleanse the element. It means to become free from the physical nature.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：这个身体，这个地球，世界和宇宙，一切都只是五大元素的一个游戏。这个身体的组成是，72%是水，大约12%是土，6%是气，4%是火，剩下的是空间或叫akash。这五大元素在你内在如何表现，几乎会决定一切。Bhuta的意思是元素，Bhuta Shuddhi 意味着不受元素的污染或净化元素。它意味着摆脱了物质本性。

Right now, the physiological and the psychological processes are having a complete grip over most human beings. What we call as our physiology is something that we accumulated. What we call as our psychological process, the whole content for this is also accumulated in the form of impressions. Between these two, who you are or existentially what is the nature of your being is completely missed. If one wants to access dimensions which are not yet in your experience, first thing that we need to do is to start cleansing the five elements, so that in the purity of the elements, you distinctly know the difference between what is physical, what is psychological and what is existential.

现在，生理和心理过程完全控制住了大多数人。我们所说的生理，是某些我们所积累的东西。我们所说的心理过程，其全部内容也是以印象的方式积累起来的。在这两者之间，你是谁，或者你存在的本质是什么，被完全忽略了。如果一个人想要触及尚未在自己体验之内的维度，我们需要做的第一件事，就是开始净化这五大元素。这样在纯净的五大元素中，你能清楚地知道，什么是生理的，什么是心理的，以及什么是存在的。

#1 Treat Water With Gratitude

#1 带着感恩之情对待水

Among the five elements, water acquires the greatest significance because 72% of this body is water. If we take sufficient care about the water that we consume, not just in terms of its purity, it being bacteria-free and those kind of things, but the way the water is kept, in what kind of container you keep it, how you keep it, how you touch it, how you approach it, because there is substantial scientific evidence today to show you that a thought, an emotion, a touch, these things can change the molecular structure of the water and can greatly alter the way water behaves within your system. So, one needs to understand you are not dealing with a commodity, you are dealing with life-making material. Water is life.

在这五大元素中，水最为重要，因为身体的72%是水。如果我们对我们所饮用的水给予足够关注的话，不仅仅关心它是否纯净，是否有细菌，以及其他类似问题，还有水的存储方式，你用什么样的容器存储，你如何存储它，你如何触摸它，你如何对待它。因为如今已经有大量科学证据表明，一个想法，一个情绪，一个触碰，这些东西都能够改变水的分子结构，能够极大地改变水在你系统内的运作方式。所以，人们需要明白，你不是在跟某种商品打交道，你是在和制造生命的材料打交道，水就是生命。

If you keep the water in a container which is metallic, preferably copper or an alloy of copper, and if you wash it with an organic substance and keep the water in a place where it is not touched by other smells and other substances, there is sufficient space around it and when you approach it, if you can just hold this vessel with your hands with a certain sense of gratitude and reverence because this is life-making material and then consume it, you will see it will do wonders within your system. Healthfulness and equanimity will be a natural consequence of this.

如果你把水保存在金属容器中，最好是铜或者铜合金。并且，如果你用有机物质清洗容器，并把水放在一个不会被其他气味或物质接触到的地方，周围留有足够的空间。当你靠近它时，如果你可以用手捧着容器，带着一定的感恩和敬畏之情，因为这是制造生命的材料，然后再饮用它，你会看到它能在你的系统内创造奇迹。健康和安宁将会是自然的结果。

#2 Stay in Touch With Earth

#2 接触土壤

At least every day, if you can go and sit in your garden, on the earth just for half an hour, simply, talking to your friend, reading a newspaper, talking on the telephone, do whatever or if you can sit quietly, it's best. Just half an hour you sit in your garden, on the ground, you will see your health situation will change dramatically. I'm only talking about health because that's a tangible thing you can see; other things are happening but you may not be able to notice it. Many other processes are happening. So, as far as possible, try to settle down on the floor.

至少每天，如果你能去到花园里，就在地上坐半个小时，与你的朋友聊天，读一份报纸，讲电话，无论做什么都好。如果你能安静地坐着，那就最好了。只是在你家花园的地上坐半个小时，你会看到你的健康状况发生巨大的变化。我只是在说健康，因为那是你能看得见的东西。其他事情也在发生着，但你也许无法觉察到。很多其他的过程正在发生。所以只要有可能，试着坐在地板上。

Those of you who have very unstable bodies, that if you tend to fall sick very easily and you know, constantly those kind of things, if you just get off your cot and sleep on the floor, you will see it'll make a big difference. Just that much, just may be eighteen inches away you are, just get eighteen inches closer, you will see it'll make a big difference in terms of reorganizing the system.

那些身体状况非常不稳定的人，也就是你很容易生病。你知道，如果经常这样的话，如果你只是离开自己的小床睡到地板上，你会发现这样会产生很大的不同。就那么多，也许你只离开18英寸，只是再靠近18英寸。你会发现就重新组织系统而言，将会有很大不同。

#3 Bring Breath to a Dynamic State

#3将呼吸带入一个有活力的状态

Though air represents only 6% of your body’s elemental constitution, it is the most dynamic part of the element, in terms of the transaction that happens on a minute-to-minute basis. What kind of air you breathe is definitely important and that’s well-known, but how you breathe and how consciously you breathe is equally important. Especially those of you who are living in large cities, take a walk in the park, along the lake or the river or whatever is available to you, something natural to be in touch with nature and to do something where breath will be in a dynamic state. This is not just for aerobic exercise because constant exchange of air is happening from within and without and the very intelligence in the body will take care of this that when it senses the air is pure and alive, the way the body breathes is different.

虽然气在你身体的元素组成中只占6%，它却是元素中最活跃的部分。就气体交换而言，分分钟都在发生。你呼吸着怎样的空气，众所周知，这一点非常重要。但你如何呼吸，以及如何有意识地呼吸也同等重要。特别是对于那些住在大城市的人，在公园里散步，沿着湖边或者河岸，或者任何你方便去到的自然区，接触大自然，做一些让呼吸活跃起来的事情。这不仅是为了完成有氧运动，而是不间断的空气交换里里外外都在发生着，而身体的智慧会处理好这项交换。当它感觉到空气纯净而有生机时，身体呼吸的方式是不同的。

So, if you remain in pure air, it’s important that you bring breath to a dynamic state with a certain activity. You don’t have to do too vigorous an activity, just enough to see that you’re breathing deep enough, slightly deeper than normal is happening to you for a period of time. But on a daily basis if you’re not able to take yourself out, within the house, you can do a simple yogic practice called nadi shuddhi to cleanse the breath.

所以，如果你一直呆在纯净的空气中，重要的是你通过某些活动将呼吸带入一个有活力的状态。你不需要做剧烈的运动，只需要确保你呼吸得足够深就够了，在一段时间内呼吸比正常更深一点。但在日常生活中，如果你无法出门去，呆在屋内，你可以做一个简单的瑜伽练习，叫气脉净化（nadi shuddhi），来净化呼吸。

#4 Light a Fire for Health & Energy

#4 为健康和能量点燃一团火

Fire accounts for 4% of your elemental makeup. If you wish to use fire, you can light a fire with an organic substance like straw or firewood, without any oil and stand facing the fire, with your hands open and keep your eyes open for three minutes, then stand with your back to it, exposing your spine for three minutes. This will cleanse your aura and bring about a new sense of resurgence in the system. This is to rekindle and reconnect the fire within with the fires outside. This is the basis of all fire-based rituals in the East. If having a fire is not very practical for you, at least a lamp with vegetable oils or ghee. You light a lamp and be around this lamp, first face the lamp and sit and then turn around and sit, so that the fire element within you gets rekindled.

火占你的元素组成4%。如果你希望运用火，你可以用有机物质如稻草或木材生火。不添加任何油，站着面向火焰双手打开，保持眼睛睁开3分钟。然后背向火焰，让脊柱向着火焰3分钟。这将会净化你的灵气光环（Aura），给系统带来一个全新的复苏感。这是用外在之火重新点燃和连接内在之火。这是东方所有火供仪式的基础。如果生火对你来说不太实际，至少用植物油或酥油点一盏灯。你点燃灯后，待在灯的周围。先面对它坐着，然后背对它坐。这样你内在的火元素会被重新点燃。

#5 Tap Into the Akashik Intelligence

#5 利用空智慧

The fifth and the most expansive dimension of the elemental composition is akash or etheric space. This has a certain intelligence. The nature, quality and the power of your life essentially is determined by how much access can you find into the akashic intelligence. As I said, this is an expansive part of the elemental composition that means there is no limit. There is only that much water, there is only that much air, that much earth and that much fire but the akashic dimension is a limitless possibility. If you find access, in a limitless manner, both your perception and intelligence can grow.

第五个也是元素组成中最富延展性维度，是空（akash）或阿卡西。它有其特定的智慧。你生命的本质、品质和力量本质上决定于你能接触到多少空的智慧。就像我说的，这是元素组成中一个具有延展性的部分，这意味着它是没有边际的。只有那么多水，那么多气，那么多土，那么多火。而空维度是一个无限的可能性。如果你能接触到它，你的感知和智慧都会无限地增长。

One simple process you can do to find more access to akash or the akashic intelligence is, after sunrise, before the sun crosses a thirty-degree angle, look up at the sky once and bow down to akash for holding you and this planet in place. After the sun crosses thirty degrees, sometime during the day, anytime, look up and bow down again. After the sunset, within the 40 minutes after sunset, look up at the sky and once again bow down. You are not bowing to any imaginary gods up there, just to the etheric space around us which is holding everything that we are in place. If you get the akash to co-operate with your life energies, life will happen in magical ways. An intelligence that you have never thought possible will become yours.

一个你可以接触到更多空或空间智慧的简单方式是，日出之后，在太阳升到和地平线成30度角之前，仰望天空，向空（akash）鞠躬，感恩它承载着你和这个地球。在太阳升过30度角之后，白天的某个时间，任何时间，再次仰望天空并鞠躬。在日落之后，日落后40分钟内，仰望天空，并再次鞠躬。你不是在对任何假想的上面的神鞠躬，只是对我们身边的以太空间，因为它承载着周围的一切。如果你能让空（akash）与你的生命能量合作，生命将会以神奇的方式发生。你从未想到过的智慧将会成为你的。

In terms of health, well-being, perception, knowing, everything, enlightenment, everything is handled if only you know how to keep these five elements properly. The most fundamental practice in the yogic system, which is the basis of everything else that we are doing is called as Bhuta Shuddhi. All other yogic practices are an extract from the pancha bhuta system of yoga. If you do a certain level of cleansing for the elements, then you attain to what's called as bhuta siddhi that means you have mastery over the elements. If you have mastery over the elements, you not only have mastery over the body, over the mind, over the very creation.

无论健康、幸福、感知、知晓、万事万物，开悟，只要你知道如何恰当地掌管这五大元素，一切就都搞定了。在瑜伽体系中最基本的练习，也是我们正在做的其他一切的基础，叫五大元素净化（Bhuta Shuddhi）。所有其他瑜伽练习都是对瑜伽中五大元素体系的提炼。如果你对五大元素进行某种程度的清理，然后你达成了所谓的bhuta siddhi，那意味着你掌握了五大元素。如果你掌握了五大元素，你就不仅掌握了身体，掌握了头脑，还掌握了造物本身。
