Hatha yoga, in the twentieth century, is mainly practiced for health and vitality. It’s a marvelous means of exercising, stretching, and freeing the body so it can be a healthy, long-lived, and vital instrument of the mind and soul.
    二十世纪,以健身为主旨,哈他瑜伽广为流行. 身体的强化,伸展和放松使得哈他瑜伽成为一种奇妙的健身方式,它带来的不仅是健康长寿,还给予头脑与心灵以生命的活力.

    In addition, hatha yogis can become extremely clear-minded and can concentrate well. However, a few yogis do practice hatha yoga as their main method for spiritual realization. Their clear minds and pure, healthy bodies enable them to meditate easily.
    除此之外, 哈他瑜伽士能够保持头脑的高度清醒,有力地控制注意力. 尽管如此,少数瑜伽士把哈他瑜伽作为精神认知的主要途径, 他们清晰的头脑,纯净健康的身体使得他们能够顺利地进行冥想.

    In Sanskrit, ha means sun, tha means moon. Hatha yoga is the practice of harmonizing the body’s inner currents (principally the currents of Feeling, Thinking, Willing, and Acting) until they are in perfect balance.
    在梵文中,ha意为太阳,tha意为月亮. 哈他瑜伽是调和体内各种流动(主要是感觉,思想,意志和行为的流动)达到平衡状态的练习.

    Normally the hatha yogi with the calm mind focuses awareness at the ajna center half an inch above where the eyebrows join and directs awareness to move through that center into a super-conscious state. The individual life, the finite life, meets and fuses temporarily, at first, with the infinite life.
    通常,头脑清醒的哈他瑜伽士把意识集中在眉心轮(眉心上方1英寸处), 引导意识通过此处,进入一种超意识的状态. 个人生命,有限生命与无限生命相遇相熔.

    Hatha yoga  is not well-known today and the purity of life required in order to do hatha yoga meditation well requires more time and application than most people are willing to give. However, those few dedicated men and women who are true hatha yogis live in abundant well being and universal harmony.
    哈他瑜伽现在并不风行. 哈他瑜伽的冥想要求生命的纯净性,更多的时间和实践,而这些恰恰是大部分人不愿奉献的. 尽管如此,那些作为真正的哈他瑜伽士而献身的男女,生活在满满的幸福和普遍和谐中.
