匯集東西方觀點── 有關呼吸的鼻子與胸腹腔解剖生理學、瑜伽能量學、調息法 揭露如何運用呼吸來調節生命能量的祕密   呼吸不只是單純的生理現象 呼吸的節奏及速度，反映著一個人的身心狀態； 若能調控呼吸，就能改變人生。   ◎「呼吸」不值得注意嗎？ 情緒、身體及呼吸之間的關係本質為何？ 呼吸是否與心念有任何的互動關係？ 我們是否能藉由改變呼吸模式，來改變情緒與生理狀態？ 「呼吸」實則扮演著整合人類生命各層次的角色， 若能對「呼吸」有著徹底的了解， 將能擴展我們對身心的覺察及調控力。   ◎****呼吸是身體與心念之間的連結   斯瓦米‧拉瑪與兩位美國知名醫師，分別從東方與西方的觀點，對「呼吸」進行全面的審視，包括胸腔與腹部的物理運動、呼吸道的生理與解剖學、各式呼吸習慣的生理與心理作用、鼻子構造與呼吸氣流的關係、呼吸氣流與神經系統活動的複雜模式、瑜伽觀點中潛藏在身心背後的載具「氣」（prana）等，說明了呼吸對生理健康及高階意識狀態的重要性。斯瓦米‧拉瑪也在本書中分享喜馬拉雅瑜伽士所練習的調息法，讓讀者可以立即從中受益。   不論是幫助釋放食物中的能量、影響心肺系統的功能，或是改變自主神經系統、情緒狀態等，呼吸在維繫人體器官的完整運作中，扮演著關鍵的角色。呼吸是所有生理活動的基本，並因為它碰觸到人體眾多層面的運作，我們可以透過它來觀察與操控這些層面。   受傷時的哭泣、驚嚇時的喘氣，以及憤怒時呼吸的顫抖等，都是我們所熟知的情緒如何影響呼吸的情況。瑜伽士認為，呼吸與心念之間存在著對等的關係，若某種心念狀態會造成某種呼吸模式，那麼藉由有意識的採用該呼吸模式，即可喚起相對應的心念狀態。如果我們改變呼吸模式，就能改變個性；當我們的心念受到干擾時，呼吸就會變調，會變淺、變快且不均勻。   呼吸與心相互依存，掌控呼吸，心就會開始變得專一；假使呼吸不規則或斷斷續續，則心就會散亂。能控制呼吸與「氣」的人，就能控制住他的心；能控制心的人，就能控制住他的呼吸。調息能幫助練習者控制「氣」，進而達到更高層次的靈性修持。   本書將呼吸理論知識視為可被應用的個人成長工具，詳實描述了一系列實用的練習與技巧，以便讀者可有系統地控制呼吸及「氣」生命能量。這些練習都有助於擴展對呼吸的覺察，並以有益的呼吸方式來取代無意識的呼吸習慣。由於呼吸是身體與心念之間的連結，因此也可以被用來介入身體與心念的運作，隨著我們對呼吸的覺察及控制，這種介入將可以深化生理與心理的改變。     作者/譯者簡介 作者簡介 斯瓦米‧拉瑪（Swami...
