HRIDAYAYOGASUTRA
The Heart Yogasutra, by Mark Whitwell
フリッダヤヨーガスートラ
ハート ヨーガスートラ、マーク・ウィットウェル著
This sutra is a map to show you where you are going with Yoga of Heart.. You may not necessarily want to start with it, but you can refer to it as you go.
The hrid is where left merges with right, above with below, front with back, inhale with exhale, outer with inner, female with male, strength with receptivity, where heaven meets earth and spirit takes form. It has a specific location as source of body and mind, but is felt only in and as the body’s Life-given relatedness and natural state. This sutra is a ‘thread’ that weaves together these considerations of the Heart.
このスートラはあなたがヨガの心とともにどこに向かっているのかを示す地図です。
必ずしもこのスートラとともに始める必要はありませんが、ぜひあなたの実践の参考にしていただければと思います。
フリッドとは、左と右、上と下、前と後ろ、吸う呼吸と吐く呼吸、内側と外側、女性と男性、力強さと受容性、それらが融合する場所であり、そこで天上は地上と出会い、魂は肉体という形になります。
フリッドは明確な身体と心の源泉ですが、身体に生命が与えられているという関係性や自然な状態としてやその中でのみ感じられるものです。
このスートラは、心の考察を１つにまとめる「糸」です。
11 The right side, the base and the back of the body carry the male principle; the left side, the crown and the front carry the female principle. The exhalation carries the male force and the inhalation receives the female. The base and spine supports the receptive front and great crown above. In life, strength receives. Giving and receiving are restored as the natural state of life. When practicing the union of the system’s polarities each principle strengthens the other. Asana, pranayama, meditation and life are a seamless process by which the natural polarities of life are acknowledged and absorbed. The intelligence of the male female mutuality is present in every cell and in the social wisdom of a free life.
