今日は、2日目のチョプラ博士の部分だけ訳しました。
参考程度にしてくださいね。
Deepak:
日常で自分が周りや運命に翻弄されているように感じたことがありませんか。
決められた道を通っているただの通行人のようだと感じることもあるかもしれません。
また、日々の生活の中で起きていることが前もって決まっているように感じ、自分では状況を変えられないと感じたことがあるかもしれません。
今日は、私たちの可能性を開き、夢を実現するカルマの役割について探求します。
カルマは、自由と力強さを与える強力なツールです。
ポジティブで終わりのない豊かさの実現に影響を与えます。
カルマのスピリチュアル的法則とは、すべての行動はエネルギーを生み出しそれは同じように私たちに戻ってくるというものです。
簡単に言うと、与えたものを受け取るということです。
幸福や成功をもたらす行動をすると、カルマは幸福や成功をもたらしてくれます。
カルマの法則または原因と結果の法則を使う鍵は、瞬間瞬間の選択を意識的にするようになることです。
私たちがより意識的で今という瞬間にいるときは、傷つくという行動や思考を選ばないという選択もできます。何かを決めるとき、それが、幸福や達成を自分にもたらし、そしてその選択が他の皆にも幸福をもたらすのかを自分自身に聞いてみるといいでしょう。
日常に心の平静さをもたらして、カルマという存在を変え始めるでしょう。この神性な状態になることは可能です。誰の内側にもそれは存在し、瞑想の静けさを通してそことつながるのです。心の平静の中で生きると、良い、悪い、勝者、敗者といった世界を経験するのではなく、私たちは深い内なる調和と平安を感じ、そして全体の美に目を向けるようになります。この美しい状態にいるとき、私たちは、純粋な意識の完全な静けさの中で、心の平安、深い気づき、今の瞬間の受容を受け入れます。
瞑想の実践を通して日々、平静さを生み出すと、カルマのパターンと過去の選択の影響を穏やかに洗い清め、新しい生のヴァイブレーションを創造します。過去を解放し、今という瞬間を意識し、自分が望む未来を創造するような行動を起こします。私たちは、目的と情熱をもって充実した人生を自由に楽しむことのできる自分自身の運命のマスターであることを今、理解するのです。
今日のcentering thoughtは、「私はパワフルな創造者である」
Day 2 Empowered Me
"Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web,
he does to himself." Chief Seattle
Today we explore the concept of karma, the ebb and flow of energy in our lives. We will discover that with awareness, we have the opportunity to mindfully harness this natural current to create a life where our dreams and desires open with effortless ease.
So often we hear about good karma and bad karma, but in reality, karma is simply a reciprocal exchange—what we give, we receive in kind. Through meditation, we connect more deeply with the present, increase our awareness of “what is,” and emerge from the silence with a sense of balance and a desire to make right, conscious choices in our lives. In this way, we begin to recognize our own undeniable role in creating the story of our lives and begin to align ourselves with those choices that are the most nurturing for ourselves and everyone around us.
Mindful MomentTake a moment to observe one choice before you today. Prior to making a decision, check in with your inner voice and ask yourself, “Is this the most nourishing choice for me and everyone around me?” If the answer does not feel right to you, then consider making another decision. If when you check in with yourself, your choice feels right in your heart, then proceed with abandon.
Centering Thought: I am a powerful creator
Sanskrit Mantra: Om Kriyam Namah - My actions are aligned with cosmic law
Oprah: "Welcome to day. Empowered Me. Yesterday we ask ourselves the question, 'Who Am I?' That's a big one. We did that to begin opening up to our deepest destiny. Every human has to answer that himself/herself. Today, we tap into the powerful law of Karma as an instrument for unlocking our potential and realizing our dreams. What is Karma? Its a tool to create abundance; more simply said, what you put out into the world is always coming back to you. And you have a choice in the Karma you create in life. When you are more conscious and present, you can choose actions and thoughts that nurture rather than hurt, allowing more of your innate goodness to emanate in the world which draws abundance and richness back to you. If you don't like what is manifesting in your life, you can change your choices and thereby change your karmic pattern. Being present and aware of your ability to make different choices, you begin to feel a new expansive sense of freedom and hope. With each deliberate choice, you can feel more deeply your powerful influence in creating ever-flowing abundance in your life. Consider that as Deepak guides us toward more empowerment through choice and we'll meditate on that together.
Deepak: Have you ever felt as if you were being tossed around at the will of the world around you with little influence on your daily experience and destiny? At times it may feel as if we are just passengers along for the ride. We may find ourselves reacting to situations in life with a sense of powerlessness, as if our circumstance is completely preordained.
Today, we explore Karma's role in unlocking our potential and realizing our dreams. Our relationship and intention with our Karma provides a powerful tool that offers a sense of freedom and empowerment as we recognize our influence in creating positive, ever-flowing abundance in our lives. In the spiritual law of Karma, every action generates a force of energy that is returned to us in kind. Simply put, what we give, we receive. When we chose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our Karma is happiness and success. The key to using the law of Karma or the law of cause and effect is becoming aware of the choices we make in each moment.
When we are more conscious and present, we can choose actions and thoughts that nurture rather than hurt us. When we have a decision to make, it's useful to ask ourselves which action is likely to bring happiness and fulfillment to me and everyone affected by my choice. Setting the intention to make choices that will bring awareness and success to others is a powerful choice.
Today, we'll begin to shift our karmic presence by inviting the state of equanimity into our lives. This divine state is accessible and within each one of us we open it through the stillness of meditation. When we live in equanimity, we experience a deep inner balance and a sense of peace, an ability to focus on the beauty of the whole rather than on contrasts such as good versus bad, winner versus loser. In this beautiful state, we release and allow ourselves to absorb the tranquility of mind, deep awareness and acceptance of the present moment found in the absolute stillness of pure consciousness.
By cultivating equanimity each day though our meditation practice, we gently wash away the karmic patterns and consequences from our trail of past choices, creating a new life vibration. As we continue our journey to meditation, practicing with our karmic resonance and cultivating equanimity in our lives, we release the past, awaken to the present, and take action to create the future we desire. We now realize that we are the masters of our own destinies, free to enjoy our life rich with fulfillment, purpose and passion.
As we prepare to meditate together, let’s take a few moments to focus on today's centering thought, 'I am a powerful creator'. 'I am a powerful creator.'
Now let’s begin. Please find a comfortable position, place your hands lightly in your lap, palms upward, and close your eyes. Breathe naturally and effortlessly. Notice in the inflow and outflow of your breath. Bring your awareness to your body and notice any tension it might be holding on to. Allow your breath to wash away this tension. Begin to release your thoughts and expectations. With each inhalation and exhalation, allow yourself to be more relaxed, more comfortable, more at peace.
Now gently introduce the mantra, repeating it mentally and allowing it to flow with effortless ease, Om Kriyam Namah. The Sanskrit mantra translates in English to 'My actions are aligned with cosmic law'. Om Kriyam Namah. Whenever you find yourself distracted by thoughts, sensations in your body nor noises in the environment, simply return your attention to mentally repeating the mantra. Om Kriyam Namah. Please continue with your meditation for about 10 minutes.
Release the mantra and bring your attention back into your body. Take a moment to rest, inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply. When you feel ready, gently open your eyes.
As you continue with your day, carry this new understanding of your pivotal role of your life with you, reminding yourself of today's centering thought, 'I am a powerful creator'. 'I am a powerful creator.' 'I am a powerful creator.'
