79 CONSCIOUS BREATHING (The End)

【有意识的呼吸，一个宁静的避难所】

我们的呼吸是一个稳定、坚实的基础，我们可以依靠它避难。无论我们内心发生了什么，呼吸总是与我们同在，像一个忠实的朋友。每当我们被思绪带走，被强烈的情绪压倒，或者当我们的心思不宁、分散时，我们可以回归到呼吸上来。我们让身心合一，收集、平静并固定我们的心念。我们意识到空气进出我们的身体。有了对呼吸的觉知，它自然会变得轻盈、平静和宁静。无论是白天还是夜晚，无论我们是在走路、开车、在花园里工作，还是坐在书桌前，我们都可以回归到自己呼吸的宁静避难所。

[CONSCIOUS BREATHING, A PEACEFUL REFUGE]

Our breathing is a stable, solid ground in which we can take refuge. No matter what is going on inside us, our breathing is always with us, like a faithful friend. Whenever we’re carried away by our thinking, when we’re overwhelmed by strong emotions, or when our mind is restless and dispersed, we can return to our breathing. We bring our body and mind together and we collect, calm, and anchor our mind. We’re aware of the air coming in and going out of our body. With awareness of our breathing, it naturally becomes light, calm, and peaceful. At any time of the day or night, whether we’re walking, driving, working in the garden, or sitting at our desk, we can return to the peaceful refuge of our own breath.
