西班牙艺术家玛利亚的静修心得
2016年6月18日到20日,来自西班牙的艺术家玛利亚在三和静修中心参加了三天的静修工作坊。以下是她在这三天当中的体验和心得(附原文)。一个多月前我在离辛庄不远的上苑艺术馆认识了几位在这里驻馆创作和体验生活的外国艺术家。她们对中国的风土人情和文化充满兴趣,在三到四天的静修工作坊当中都有相当愉快而奇妙的体验(参见本公众号7月1日和7月2日所发巴西艺术家玛丽娜和婕娜的静修心得)。我国以儒、释、道为核心的文化博大精深,渊源流长,对于人类文明以及精神的演进有着独特的贡献和价值。静修作为儒、释、道三家共同的基础,则是我们把握自己的传统和文化,并以此与世界上不同的文化交流互动的关键门径。它作为一条人类认识自我,转化自我的可靠道路,对于艺术家的艺术灵感和创作,尤其是把自己的生命力、创造力和理解力与永不枯竭的生命和灵性之源相联系,同样具有极为重要的意义。这三位外国艺术家在短短三、四天的静修训练当中体验到的身心的不同层面及其变化为她们开启了生命之旅中新的领域,也让我对自己所走的道路有了更多的理解和确信。
我在来中国之前不久第一次听说静修。我对此感到很好奇,自己试着练习了一个星期。这让我意识到静修不是那么容易的事。仅仅试着停下自己的念头并且放松远非轻而易举。
我来到中国之后我遇到了Leo(金博士)。他让我对静修的兴趣和好奇越来越强烈。他跟我讲他自己的个人经历以及对静修的研究,我觉得非常有意思。于是我就决定,在我活这么大第一次用几天时间来照顾自己,跟Leo学习静修。我在他这里呆了三天,学习静修,也学习享受生活和当下的时刻。
我通常是一个非常忙,也有很多思虑的人。在刚开始练习静坐时,我很容易失去注意力。我必须不停地努力从脑子里排除各种各样的念头。当我开始感到脑子里没有那么多念头时,我开始感到背部一个地方有强烈的疼痛。那是我曾经受伤的地方。随着我能够越来越深地进入冥想状态,疼痛开始减轻,我也感受到全新的体验。一开始我感到我的关节(髋关节、脊椎、肩,……)有轻微而明显的移动,似乎在调整自己的位置。每一次这种体验都变得更为舒服。我开始感到身体里出现有节奏的律动,一开始象波浪一样,随之就象在转圈。当我有了这些体验之时,我的身体非常放松,背部的疼痛也大为减轻。
这三天的体验让我意识到我们的身体有多么强大,同时,照顾好自己对我们在人生中想要达到的任何目标来讲都是基本的前提。
我感谢Leo给我带来这样的体验以及他的友好,感谢和他以及他的家人在一起的美好时光。尤其感谢Leo的妻子,李菲。她让我体验了中国的针灸。这些经历让我感到自己很强大。我不会忘记这些经历,并且会在自己的生活当中继续练习静修。
I first heard about meditation short time before coming to China. I was curious so I tried to do it by myself during a week. That was enough to realize it was not such an easy thing. Just try to stop my mind and relax was really hard.
When I arrived to China I met Leo, and he increased more and more my interest and curiosity about it. He told me about his personal experience and researches about the topic, which completely caught my attention. It is for this reason that I decided, for first time in my life, take a few days off to take care of myself by learning meditation with Leo.
I spend 3 days at his place, with his family, learning about meditation, but also learning to enjoy the life and the moment. I am usually a very busy and concern person, so during the first sessions I was loosing the concentration very easily. I was mainly fighting to clear my mind of thoughts. When I started feeling my mind freer of thoughts, I started feeling a strong pain on my back, caused by an old injury. The more I was getting deeper into my mind I was starting to get ride of the pain and to experience very new feelings. First I felt some sharp little movements on my joins (hips, vertebras, shoulders…), kind of readjusting the position. Each time the experience was more pleasant and I started experiencing rhythmic movements on my body; first like waves and then like circles. When feeling that, my body was very relaxed, and the back pain much softer.
This 3 days experience helped me to understand and feel how powerful is our body. I understood that take care of ourselves it is a basic issue for whatever target we want to reach on life.
So I want to thanks Leo for this life learning experience and his kindness. Also for the great time I have with him and his family, especially to Liu Fen, Leo´s wife, who has also introduce me on acupuncture. All together has made me feel great and strong. I will not forget it and I will try my best to keep going with meditation in my daily life.
