一句话瑜伽，第184期Elissa：让我们谈谈心灵与身体的联系。我喜欢这样的说法：我能屈能伸，所以我不易碎，这意味着以柔克刚。我认为它也涉及身体和心理的柔韧性。你的身体弯曲，意味着你头脑为你抗了一下。Let's talk mind-body connection for a moment. I love that saying that goes :Ibendso I do not break which implies a certain flexibility to combat the weakness of rigidity.I think it also references physical &mental flexibility. Your body bends but the idea of somethings breaking implies your mind snapping.
我一直具备身心的柔韧性，也许这是一种巧合，但……也许不是！命运多舛的我，一生中的大部分时间，都经历一种自身免疫性疾病。I' ve always been a flexible both physically &mentally, &maybe that's a coincidence but then again...maybe not! The majority of my life has been plagued with an auto-immune disease.
我不懂病情所有的细节，但最困扰我的症状之一便是便秘。这导致了一系列其他的事情，比如害怕吃得太多，身材不好等等。I won't get into all the details but one of the most constant symptoms that would plague me was constipation. This led to a whole slew of other things like the fear of eatingtoo much, bad body image etc.
身体的便秘导致精神的便秘，如果有什么困扰我，我不能处理它或放它走。我让它在我体内膨胀，让我感到疲惫和迟钝。The physical constipationled to mental constipation If something bothered me I couldn t process it or let it go. I let it bloat up inside me which made me feel exhausted &sluggish.
8年前，当我发现瑜伽时，我的疾病开始好转。这不是身体锻炼的缘故，我已经是一个舞蹈演员了并且非常活跃，它来自于精神明晰和专注瑜伽的一臂之力。It was when I found yoga 8 years ago that my disease started to subside.It wasn't from the physical exercise, I was already a dancer &very active, it was from the mental clarity &concentration yoga helped me cultivate.
冥想和专注一件事，有时会帮我厘清一些缠人的事情，一旦我让一个沉重的念头走了，事情就变得容易了。The meditation &focus on one thing at a time helped me get clear & mindful about all the shit I was carrying around constantly. Once I let one heavy thought go, it was easier to let others go.
我发现我的精神的代谢加快：把一个想法，情况或问题，通过代谢处理掉，然后完全放走它。我不禁注意到身体上的便秘也消散了。I found my mental metabolism speeding up: taking in one thought, situation or problem, processing through it, then completely letting it go. I can't help but notice that the physical constipation has dissipated as well.
巧合？还是证明了更深层次的身心联系？我不是科学家，我也没有研究过它，但我会说，如果你改变你的心态，你会改变你的身体。如果你移动你的肌肉，你就会移动你的想法。Coincidence?Or proof of a deeper mind-body connection? I'm not ascientist nor have I done studies on it but I would argue that if you change your mindset you will change your body&if you move your muscles you will move your thoughts.
伸展你的身体，伸展你的思维。清除你头脑的混乱，你的身体会感觉不同。Stretch your body, stretch your mind. Clear the clutter from your head &your body will feel a difference.
