介绍:
在节目的一开始，我想问你一个问题，你们是否遇到这样的情况，我们因为那些气氛的事情而成为“强迫性思维的受害者”。接下来，我要为你读的这段文字啊，或许能给你一些启发，出自《当下的力量》The Power of Now的第一章。作者是德国人:埃克哈特·托利
The good news is that you can free yourself from your mind. This is the only true liberation. You can take the first step right now. Start listening to the voice in your head as often as you can. Pay particular attention to any repetitive thought patterns, those old gramophone records that have been playing in your head perhaps for many years. This is what I mean by "watching the thinker," which is another way of saying: listen to the voice in your head, be there as the witnessing presence.
When you listen to that voice, listen to it impartially. That is to say, do not judge. Do not judge or condemn what you hear, for doing so would mean that the same voice has come in again through the back door. You'll soon realize: there is the voice, and here I am listening to it, watching it. This I am realization, this sense of your own presence, is not a thought. It arises from beyond the mind.
过去的已经过去，不会再回来，但我们有多少人还活在过去不肯放下？未来就算一定会来临，但它也是以“当下”的方式出现。最怕的就是人明明在这里，可是脑子跑到过去，带来了愤怒，伤心，悔恨，愧疚等情绪。或者人在此刻，脑子跑到未来，于是就产生了压力，焦虑，恐慌。如何把自己的注意力集中在当下这一刻？什么是冥想的本质？《当下的力量》这本书继续告诉我们答案。
Instead of "watching the thinker," you can also create a gap in the mind stream simply by directing the focus of your attention into the Now. Just become intensely conscious of the present moment. This is a deeply satisfying thing to do. In this way, you draw consciousness away from mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
In your everyday life, you can practice this by taking any routine activity that normally is only a means to an end and giving it your fullest attention, so that it becomes an end in itself. For example, every time you walk up and down the stairs in your house or place of work, pay close attention to every step, every movement, even your breathing. Be totally present. Or when you wash your hands, pay attention to all the sense perceptions associated with the activity: the sound and feel of the water, the movement of your hands, the scent of the soap, and so on. Or when you get into your car, after you close the door, pause for a few seconds and observe the flow of your breath. Become aware of a silent but powerful sense of presence. There is one certain criterion by which you can measure your success in this practice: the degree of peace that you feel within
其实，我有时也非常焦虑，但其实，这些焦虑，紧张，不安，压力，烦恼——所有形式的恐惧，都是因为对未来过于关注而对当下关注不够引起的。打破那种抗拒当下，否定当下的旧模式，把当下时刻的意识作为一种习惯。慢慢地，我自己也在改变，我要活在当下，最近，我开始去享受当下的资源，我不能说我的生活有多大改变，但我想说：我没有那么焦虑了。希望你也一样，开启一种新的生活方式：活在当下。今日分享就到这里，我是你们的老朋友，crystal.我们下期再见！
