Feather for Pranayama

图片发自App

This is a quick and simple pranayama cue. Imagine a feather floating in the breeze. On an inhale, imagine the feather being caught by an updraft and wafting up toward the sky. On an exhale, imagine the feather drifting back down to the ground. You could assign words to these actions, mentally reciting “rising” with each inhale and “falling” with each exhale. Giving the mind something to do and say will help to keep it from wandering. Picture the path the feather could take as different each time it rises and falls, lifts and settles. This can be particularly effective with the feather.

这是一种快速而简单的调息提示。想象一根羽毛在微风中浮动。在吸气的时候，想象一下羽毛被向上的气流抓住并向天空飘去。在呼气的时候，想象一下羽毛会回到地面上。你可以给这些动作分配文字，在每次吸气时，在心里念“升起”，每次呼气都“落下”。给大脑一些讯息，帮助你避免走神。想象一下羽毛在每次上升、下降、举起和平息时所能承受的不同的路径。这是非常有效的。
