Lek跟我是瑜伽上很好的瑜伽朋友，他是泰國知名的陰瑜伽老師，也是泰國瑜伽雜誌的作者之一。他常常說，我不輕易帶別人來我家的，你是第一個中國人。
他家是一個像歐式的雙層別墅，家裡5條狗和一個傭人，前面是院子後面是游泳池，還有一些獨立工作室，這是一個夢想的家。
我們共同之處，在於我們都是瑜伽老師，我們都不喜歡過多的規矩，我們都喜歡熱情地擁抱別人，我們都喜歡寫字，分別在不同的雜誌刊登一些關於瑜伽的文章，以至於我們成為了摯友。
我在泰國的時候，我參加了他的關於生命的水流陰瑜伽，雖然因為行程問題只參加了短短一天半但是已經讓我感覺到另外的關於心的打開的瑜伽，我想這是最好的連接方式。
而後多次在泰國的課程他擔任我的翻譯，他的個人魅力和思想品質都是每個瑜伽人可以去學習的，因此我請求他發來幾篇已在其他國家刊登過的文章，但是在目前沒有在中國公開過，致給我的學生們，我的讀者們。
Journey deep into the InnerLife
深入內心世界的旅程
By Lek Kittikunadul
這是一個曾經自卑、在家庭感到孤立的人的故事。
他在曼谷市中的泰國華人家庭中長大，他經常感到失望。無論他做什麼都覺得比別人差。
在體育課上，因為他又瘦又小又沒有運動技能便總是做替補隊員。在其他課程上，他老是遭受到欺辱。
This is the story of a man who used to suffer from low self-esteem and feel isolated from his family. He grew up in the city of Bangkok amongst a Chinese-Thai family feeling he was constantly a disappointment. Whatever he did, he felt inferior to others. In PE he was always a sub as his body was small and skinny and lacking in any sport skills. In his other classes he was bullied and rebuked.
直到一天，他發現了瑜伽。
他能夠感覺到這是一個正確的溝通方式和推力吸引他去做他喜歡的事。從那天開始，瑜伽成為他生活的一部分，他的生活逐漸發生變化。他習練瑜伽並能夠去教別人。
他開始感到自我的價值。
Then one day, he found yoga. He could feel right away a connection and pulse drawing him to what he loved. From that day, yoga became a part of his life and gradually, his life began to change. He trained in yoga until he became competent enough to teach. He began to feel self-value.
這是我的故事。
在瑜伽之前，我學習了生命能量學，它讓我對瑜伽有了不同的看法。
我還把瑜伽和其他的研究結合起來，包括中醫和結締組織，尤其關注結締組織與潛意識之間的聯繫。
This is my story.
Prior to yoga, I studied life energetics which has made me see yoga differently. I also combine yoga with other studies including Chinese medicine and connective tissue especially focusing on the connection between the connective tissues and the subconsciousness.
我們的大腦是一種神奇的東西，它可以構建身體，控制我們組織和內部器官的功能。
我們的身體根據我們的大腦的狀態行動，如果大腦有壓力，我們的身體就感覺到緊張。如果我們的大腦處於放鬆狀態，我們的身體也會放鬆的。
我曾經和一個患有背痛和肩痛的學生注意到一種問題，當我問他們的生活方式和工作時，他們中的80%都在工作中感覺到壓力。這就是所謂的「辦公室綜合征」。
大部分人認為辦公室綜合征是長時間做同一個動作造成的，比如長時間固定姿勢坐著辦公，即使我們改變姿勢疼痛還是存在的。當你的上司在你附近辦公時嘗試去觀察一下你自己，大部分人在這種情況下會變得更緊張。這就像有能量積壓在你的肩膀和脖子上。
如果這種壓力頻繁地出現，這將成為需要治療的身體癥狀。我們不能僅僅通過改變體式來治療這種癥狀，我們必須同時治療我們的大腦。
Our mind is an amazing thing that builds of body and controls the functions of our tissues and internal organs. Our body acts according to our state of mind and if the mind is stressed, our body will become tense. If our mind is relaxed, our body will be relaxed as well. I』ve noticed a pattern with my students who suffer from back and shoulder pain—when I ask them about their lifestyle and work, 80% of them are feeling stressed at work. This is what is called 「office syndrome.」 Most people think that office syndrome is from doing the same habits for a long time like sitting in certain chairs, but pain persists even when we change our position. Try to observe yourself when your boss is near you at work, most people tend to feel more stress in this situation. This is felt as energy accumulation in your shoulders or neck. If this kind of stress occurs frequently, it will become a physical symptom requiring therapy. We can』t treat this syndrome only by changing the body, we must treat the mind as well.
當我們討論身體的狀態時，這通常是很難想像的因為它是我們無法觸摸和感覺的東西。我們的大腦通過身體傳遞信息來告訴我們身體里到底發生了什麼。任何發生在身體里的特徵都會顯示我們的內部精神狀態。
這就像我們正在開的車，我們只能加入汽油讓汽車發動，直到癥狀出現否則我們不知道發動機的狀態。
這跟我們身體是一樣的。我們吃東西補充身體的營養，這樣我們才有能量去運動。一旦身體開始身體，我們才逐漸開始照顧身體。然而，只有極少部分的人真的去關注大腦的狀態。大部分的疾病來自於心理的不平衡。
When we talk about the state of mind, it』s often difficult to picture because it is something we can』t touch or feel. Our mind sends messages throughout the body in order to tell us what is actually going on in the body. Any symptoms present in the body indicate
our internal mental state. This is like a car we are driving, we can only put in gasoline to encourage the car to work, but we won』t know the state of the engine inside until symptoms begin to show. It』s the same in our body, we eat in order to nourish our body so we will have energy to do activities. We generally start to look after it once it begins to show sighs of illness. However, there are only a few people who really care about the state of the mind. Most illness comes from an unbalanced mind.
我們的大腦記住著我們從出生開始的經歷並且通過五種感官去感受外面的世界：味覺，嗅覺，聲音，視覺，觸覺。
當這些感官收到來自外界的信息時，它們就會傳遞信息給大腦。當我們的感官接收到新的事物時，頭腦就會用以往的信息去讓我們的身體如何做出反應。但是這個與瑜伽有什麼關係呢？
Our mind records our experiences starting from the moment of birth and learns the outside world through the five senses: taste, smell, sound, sight, touch. When the senses receive information from the external world, they send messages to the brain. Then our brain processes the information and stores it in the mind. When our senses face a new event, the mind uses old data to inform how our body will react to it. But how does this relate to yoga?
把我們的思想分為兩部分:
思維部分或頭腦意識、做的部分或潛意識部分。
無論何時我們身體遭受到痛苦，頭腦就產生厭惡、痛苦和不安全的情緒。
Let』s divide our mind into two sections: the thinking section or conscious mind and the doing section or subconscious mind. Whenever we cause pain to our body, the mind relates dislike, pain
潛意識會傳達信息到我們的身體，然後我們的身體就會做出相應的反應來避免更多的痛苦。
所以當我們嘗試相同的（曾經感覺疼痛的）體式時，我們的身體會感受倒抵抗力，因為肌肉會做出反應來保護我們的意識不受痛苦。
例如，當你在練習帕奇莫塔的前屈時，那些在腿筋上缺乏彈性的人會在做這種姿勢中感到痛苦。我們施加的力越多，身體就會越抗拒，尤其當老師過來壓我們的時候，我們會感覺到痛苦。下次我們再看到老師我們能注意到我們的身體有某種收縮的衝動。
and insecurity. The subconscious will send a message to our body to react and our body will become contracted in order to avoid feeling more pain. The next day, when we try the same posture, we will feel resistance in our body because the muscles have contracted to protect the mind. For example, while practicing Paschimottanasana forward fold, those who lack elasticity in the hamstrings will feel irritation in this posture. The more force we apply, the more the body will resist, especially if a teacher comes to press on us, we will feel more pain. The next time we see the teacher we may notice our body contracting on impulse.
Vanda Scaravelli在她的書《喚醒脊柱》說過，「運動是身體的歌曲」，「...身體想唱歌而不是嘶喊」。
現在很多瑜伽鍛煉主要專註於克服困難的姿勢而不關心結果。我們的瑜伽訓練也體現在我們的墊子現實中。
如果我們是一個不活潑的人，我們將會做一些對我們便利又舒服的瑜伽。如果我們有能力又有衝勁，我們傾向於選擇有能量一點的瑜伽，我只是想指出我們根據自己個人的目標做瑜伽，通常不是為了健康而去選擇瑜伽。
Vanda Scaravelli said in her book, Wakening the Spine, 「Movement is the song of the body」 and 「[…] the body wants to sing, not scream.」 Many yoga trainings today focus sole on overcoming difficult asanas without concern for the outcomes. Our yaga trainnig manifests in our off the mat reality as well.If we are an inactive person, we will do yoga that is convienent for us and comfortable. If we are competitive and ambitious, we may choose to train with power yoga. We all have free will to choose how we want to live and practice yoga, I just want to point out that we do yoga according to our own personal targets, not always for health.
為什麼我們一次又一次地為了成功，就用瑜伽折磨我們的身體？我曾經就是這樣去自己練習。我決定練習更有難度的姿勢來證明我自己不再是虛弱的並希望得到同行的認同。
開始練瑜伽時我的身體狀況很好，而到後來發現我自己在和疼痛抗爭。我想大家接受我的身體但自己內心都不能認同自己。
就在這時我發現了潛意識的學習。我學會了一些不自覺的習慣，並開始理解大腦是如何與我們的習慣相聯繫的。我開始改變我的方法，更多地關注瑜伽內部的美感。這超越了肌肉和組織的界限進入了精神和身體之間的聯繫。
Why must we torture our bodies over and over again with yoga based on achievement? I once was like that in my own practice. I chose to practice advanced asanas to prove to myself that I am no longer weak and seek the approval of my peers. I started yoga with a perfect body and began to find myself struggling with health issues. I wanted people to accept me physically but didn』t feel the approval internally. That』s when I found the study of the sub conscious. I learned the habits that I did unvoluntarily and began to understand how the mind works in connection with our habits. I began to change my methods and focus more on the internal landscape of yoga. This leapt beyond the limits of muscles and tissue into the connection between mind and body.
這就是我怎麼創造了「瑜伽的內在生活」這門課程，它旨在改變我們身體和內在的生活。它幫助我們改變我們思考的方式和我們的身體怎麼相互作用。
瑜伽的內在生活是一種通過瑜伽鍛煉來改變我們的生活方式和態度達到自我恢復的方式。
這種瑜伽專註於能量水平和身體水平的功能。一旦我們理解了能量怎麼運行的，我們就可以獲得能量去改變我們生活中的各方面。
通過量子物理學我們知道能量總是以相同的質量吸引能量。如果我們的能量低，我們將會變得怠惰的和缺乏追求生活經驗的動力。然而，如果你能量滿滿，我們的生活就會平衡，這樣我們就能對世界做出積極的反應。
This is how I created 「Inner Life Yoga」 a course that aims to change our life both physically and internally. It helps us change the way we think and how we interact with our body.
InnerLife Yoga is a rediscovery of self by way of a yoga training that addresses our lifestyle and attitudes. This yoga focuses on the energetic levels and their function at the physical level. Once we
understand how energy works, we gain the power to change all aspects of our lives. From Quantum physics we know that energy always attracts energy with the same quality. If our energy is low, we will become inactive and lack motivation to pursue life experiences. However, if our energy is too high, we will get angry easily and act out towards others. If we have sufficient energy, our life will be balanced and we will be able to interact with the world positively.
如果我們思考過「吸引力法則」，我們就會發現能量能夠吸引別人的能量。
我們的低能量就會吸引到消極的想法從而問題就會發生。如果我們一直長時間擁有這種低能量，這將會成為我們的習慣甚至是我們的經歷。
在我們的大腦，網狀激活系統從五官中獲取信息並且傳送這些信息給我們的大腦處理，在身體中表達出來就形成了習慣。當網狀激活系統重複收到相同的信息併產生相同的習慣，這個系統就能迅速地偵查到這個信息。
If we consider the Laws of Attraction, we know that energy attracts other energy. Our low energy will attract negative thinking and problems will start to occur. If we hold this energy for a long time, it will become our habit and thus our experience. In our brain, Reticular Activating System (RAS) receives information from the five senses and sends such information to our brain to be processed and expressed in the body as habits. When RAS repeatedly receives the same information and causes the same habits, the system will be able to detect the information more quickly.
例如，如果我們喜歡抱怨什麼惹怒了我們，比起能使我們開心的信息，我們的網狀激活系統可能能更迅速地發現到惹怒我們的事情的信息。
那些經常喜歡抱怨的人將會經常發現他們周圍的事情都很惱火。為了使網狀激活系統幫助我們找到我們真正想要的，我們必須改變我們看問題的方式。
如果我們想好的事情發生，我們必須經常想這些好的事情知道他們成為習慣，然後這些渴望將會成為現實。如果我們明白網狀激活系統怎麼起作用的話，我們就能預見我們的思考習慣是怎麼作用到我們的現實的。
For example, if we like to complain about what annoys us, our RAS is likely able to find this information more quickly than information on things that make us happy. Someone who likes to complain a lot will often find everything around them annoying. In order for RAS to help us find what we truly want, we must change the way we see things in our life. If we want good things to happen to us, we must think about those things more often until they become our habits. Then these desires will start to enter our reality. If we understand how RAS works, we will be able to forsee how our habitual thinking interacts with our reality.
