瑜伽不是一劳永逸，它只是让我们多一种认知多一个选择

原标题：瑜伽不是一劳永逸，它只是让我们多一种认知多一个选择

​一句话瑜伽，第261期Suchitra :关于瑜伽存在一个非常普遍的误解，我承认我以前也有过。There's a pretty common misconception about yoga that exists..one I admit I used to have as well.

很多人认为——也许甚至是期待——一旦你开始练习瑜伽，你就会神奇地变成一个冷静、无忧无虑、超脱——一劳永逸。A lot of people think - maybe even EXPECT- that once you begin to practice yoga, you magically turn into this person who is calm,carefree, and just Zenned out - ALL of the time.

想法很美好，但也是完全不可能的。作为人类，我们总是充斥着太多的思想、感觉和情绪……That would be nice,but it's also completely impossible.As humans we are constantly flooded with so many thoughts, feelings, & emotions....

我们不能改变这一点，这也不是我们瑜伽练习的目的。we can't change that,and that's not the goal of our yoga practice either.

但是，我们可以学会更多地了解到这些想法和情绪，我们可以观察并知道它们的存在，而不用作出评断。BUT, we can learn to become more aware of those thoughts &emotions,we can observe &acknowledge their presence without placing judgment them.

仅仅因为它们存在，并不意味着它们需要立即的反应或回应。Just because they exist, doesn't mean they need an immediate reaction or response.

我们永远不必为某种突如其来的感觉而愧疚。And we never have to feel guilty for feeling a certain way.

我们并不总是需要冷静和镇定——事实上体验我们所有的情感是健康的。We don't always need to be calm and collected - in fact it's healthy to experience ALL of our emotions.

但是，也许——只是也许——如果我们学会更多地了解它们，我们也可以给自己一个机会来减少受到它们的影响。But maybe - just maybe - if we learn to be more aware of them,we can give ourselves the opportunity to be less affected by them too.

​当我们准备好的时候，我们可以有意识地选择我们想要回应的方式。And when we are ready, we can consciously choose the way we want to respond.
