靜心時,注意力應該要放在哪裏？

問題：斯瓦米吉，靜心時, 我们的注意力應該要放在哪裏？

答案：你一定有見過一個新出生嬰兒頭頂上的悸動，靜心時我們就是把意識專注在頭頂的那個位置。隨著年齡的增長，頭頂柔軟的部位開始被填滿而變得堅硬。我們的注意力必須是在頭頂的那個地方。如果我們把雙手放在膝蓋，我們的注意力就會移向那裏；如果我們把雙手放在胸口，我們的注意力就會在胸口。因此不管我們把手放在哪裏，意識都會跟隨。這是我們身體的正常反應。當你將你的雙手放在頭頂，你的注意力就會集中在那裏，也就是達薩哈拉脈輪（頂輪）。靜心時你的注意力必須集中在頭頂。

Question: Swamiji, my question is where should our chitta (attention) be during meditation?

Answer: You must have seen how the top portion of a new born child’s head palpitates. We have to concentrate and put our chitta on that part of the head during meditation. As we grow older, the soft portion on the top of the head starts filling up and hardens. Our attention should be at that place. If we place our hands on the knees, our attention veers there; if we place our hands on our chest, our attention will be on the chest. Thus our attention will be centered wherever we place our hands. This is generally how our body behaves. When you place your hand on the top of your head, your attention will go there, that is, it will be centered on the Sahastrar chakra. You should concentrate on the top of your head during meditation.
