帕德瑪納巴：蓮花肚臍 Padmanabha : the Lotus Navel

#83 1997/1/8 德國巴丹多 卡斯特靜心所

我們身上的各個器官由不同的神衹(devas)掌管。太陽叢神經輪連結著太陽，那是它被稱為太陽叢神經輪的原因。當太陽甫射下的第一道光芒照在太陽叢神經輪上，這將對你的身體非常有益。在一大清早做瑜珈調身法中的拜日式可使你獲益良多。

太陽叢神經輪對中樞神經系統、視覺神經、胃和我們經常說的「第六感」都有深遠的影響。太陽叢神經輪是你身體的第二個腦袋。通常此輪的大小比一粒杏仁還要大上一點。藉由瑜珈調身法、靜心法與淨化呼吸法的鍛鍊，這個太陽叢神經輪可以變成像一個杏桃般的大小。然後它將能運作得更好，並且平衡身體中的功能。

當太陽叢神經輪收縮時，一個人會感覺到恐怖、悲傷、沮喪；所有的負面情緒一一出現。

而當太陽叢神經輪擴張時，直覺的心智甦醒；心智轉為清晰並且專注。

克里希納被稱為帕德瑪納巴(Padmanabha)，這是指一個擁有「如蓮花般大小肚臍的人」。如果你成為帕德瑪納巴，你將變成完全的創造性。婆拉哈(Brahma)──造物主，是由一綻放的太陽叢神經輪所生。

現代人們的太陽叢神經輪依然微小，肚子愈來愈大。

Weekly Knowledge #83 Bad Antogast 08 Jan 1997 Germany

Different organs of our body are governed by different devas. The solar plexus is connected with the sun, that's why it is called "solar" plexus. When the first rays of the sun fall on the solar plexus, it is very good for your body. Doing Surya Namaskar ("sun salutation") yoga asana in the early morning is very good. The solar plexus has a profound impact on the central nervous system, optic nerves, stomach, and what we usually call "gut feeling." It is the second brain in your body. Usually the solar plexus is slightly bigger than an almond. Studies have shown that with the practice of yoga, meditation, and Sudarshan Kriya, the solar plexus can become as a large as the size of the palm. Then it performs better. It balances the body functions. When the solar plexus expands, the intuitive mind works better. The mind becomes clear and focussed. When the solar plexus contracts, one feels horrible, sad, depressed, and all the negative feelings come.

Krishna was called Padmanabha, meaning "whose navel is the size of a lotus flower." If you become Padmanabha, you become absolutely creative. Brahma, the Creator, is born out of a blossomed solar plexus.

These days, the solar plexus remains small, but the tummy keeps getting bigger.
