水瞑想

東洋の知恵『五行』木火土金水の元素で万物が成り立ち、
互いに影響しあい、変化し循環する。というものがある。
そのうちの水の行は
「五行大義」のなかで「水の体は寒虚である」と
定義されている。
「虚」とは窪んで中があいている、空っぽを意味する。
朝から夕方まで動き蓄積していく働きが実(じつ)。
夜の眠りの役割は活動をやめて空にする、これが虚の働き。
水はまた、乾いた所めがけて下へ下へと流れていく。
それは底にある思い、
願いに潤いを与える働きだ。
活動を停止させ、次の活動に備えることが
水の潤いを意味する。
「寒虚」とは陰の極み。
陰陽の思想においては、
極まる陰の中に一点の陽がある。
つまり水の内側には光がある。
眠る陰の中に陽的活動が存在するのだ。
目に見える実の活動が評価されてきた昨今、、、
活動を削ぎ落とし、何もしない虚の状態の豊かさに目を向け、
水の行をコンセプトにした瞑想を提供したい。
あなたが花咲くその大元には、
つけ加えるものを必要としない命そのものがある。
命が健やかであるよう、
祈りを込めて水の豊かなところへ戻っていきましょう。Water Meditation by Ailing Sai
Within the Eastern wisdom,there is the rule of “Gogyo “.
It literally means our universe is consists of 5 elements in Ying and yang. .
This is the cosmology, born in ancient china.
These elements are water, tree, fire,earth and metal being shown in a circle vision in clockwise order
This shows the interconnected relationships in either harmonious creative way or controlling and opposing way.
In those ways the elements are influencing between the two standing next to each other,
and their transformations affect to the next elements
seated in this complexed system.
In this principal of the 5elements’s interconnected transformational circulation,
water is defined like this: The body of water is cold and void.
“Being void “means having dent and holding hole in the center,
in other word it means empty. This phenomenon is called as “kyo”in Japanese.
On the contrary,for instance ,when we work from the morning to the evening ,
this cumulating action within is called as “Jitsu” , it means solid.
And during the night when we sleep ,we stop action and
become empty vessel, this is due to the function of “Kyo”or the void.
Water has tendency of running towards dry parts streaming down and down. It is its own bottom stream desire and its nature of offering moisture to the peoples wishes to grow.
Calmly stopping the activities and getting ready to the next stage is only possible by the gift
from moisturizing water.
“Kan-kyo or cold emptiness” is the ultimate state of “Ying”.
In the philosophy of Ying and Yang ,they say there is still the spot of Yang in its ultimate Ying.
Within the Water ,they say,there is still a spot of light.
That means, within the sleeping stillness of Ying, there is acting Yang do exist.
In these days, we tend to seek the value only in our visible substantial activities….
But I dare to present you the meditation that cut off all the element of action in order to discover the abundance that is only to be find within the total surrender,the void. -
I call it as the Water element conceptual meditation.
When the time comes for you to bloom, in your deepest core,
you should find the Life itself which won’t require anything additional.
Wishing the Life to be healthy,
Let’s return to the source of the plentiful water.
