It's Metaphysical Monday! As we continue our series on meditation tips, today we would like to discuss the importance of asking questions during your meditation.
這是形而上學的星期一！隨著我們繼續我們的冥想技巧系列，今天我們想討論在冥想過程中提問的重要性。

This sounds like such a simple and obvious idea, but it's so easy to forget to do this! The reason why it's difficult to remember to do this is when we are in meditation we are in a shifted space and aren't always thinking logically. It makes sense to your linear brain to ask things, but meditation is much more heart-centred than brain-centred so you aren't as connected to the part of you that would think to ask questions.
這聽起來像是一個簡單明瞭的想法，但很容易忘記去做！很難記得要這樣做的原因是，當我們在冥想時，我們處於一個變化的空間中，並不總是在邏輯上思考。對你的線性大腦來說，問問題是有意義的事情，但冥想更以心為中心，而不是以大腦為中心，所以你與想問問題的部分沒有那麼緊密的聯繫。

If you are a meditator, you already know there are times where you will experience things that surprise you or make little sense when you first experience them. I remember one time a student in a class I was teaching came out of meditation and said she had seen a tornado with eyelashes in it and wanted to know what it meant. I had no idea! I encouraged her to go back into her meditation and ask and while I can't remember exactly what it meant for her, she did get an answer that made sense to her. While some symbolism has very specific meanings, you will often see things in meditation because they are pertinent to you and your journey. The way to figure it out is to ask.
如果你是冥想者，你已經知道有些時候你會經歷一些讓你吃驚的事情，或者當你第一次經歷它們時並沒有什麼意義。我記得有一次，我課程的一個學生從冥想中出來，她說她看到了一場龍捲風，上面長著睫毛，想知道這是什麼意思。我沒有想法！我鼓勵她重新開始冥想並提問，雖然我不記得這對她意味著什麼，但她確實得到了一個對她來說有意義的答案。雖然一些象徵意義非常具體，但你經常會在冥想中看到一些事物，因為它們與你的生命旅程有關。弄清楚的方法就是問。

Training yourself to remember to ask questions about your experiences as soon as something seems particularly confusing or mysterious will take your meditations to the next level. That is how you start moving down deeper paths of learning within your meditative state and having really profound experiences. So the next time something strange or interesting happens in your meditation, use that as a cue to ask questions. This is how you shift your meditations into being more interactive.
訓練自己記住，當事情看起來特別令人困惑或神秘時，要記得就你的經歷提出問題，這將使你的冥想更上一層樓。這就是你如何開始在冥想狀態下沿著更深層次的學習路徑前進並擁有真正深刻體驗的方法。因此，下次在你的冥想中發生一些奇怪或有趣的事情時，將其當作提問的提示。這就是你將冥想轉變為更具互動性的方式。

So what if you had an experience during your meditation and you realize after you have come out that you really should have asked about it? No problem! Go back into your meditation and ask. You can always send yourself right back to where you were when you had the experience. There are no missed opportunities when it comes to meditation.
那麼，如果你在冥想期間得到一種體驗，並且在之後才意識到你真該問清楚它時怎麼辦？沒問題！回到你的冥想中去問。你總是可以讓自己回到那個經驗的狀態。在冥想方面，不會錯過任何機會。

The other thing I highly recommend to get the most out of your meditations is to write down any experiences that were particularly interesting to you. We always think we’ll remember but the reality is meditations are much like dreams. Unless something really profound happens, if we don't write them down right away they’ll be gone from our awareness by the end of the day.
我強烈建議你充分利用冥想的另一件事是，寫下你特別感興趣的任何經歷。我們總是認為我們會記住，但現實是冥想很像夢。除非發生真正意義深遠的事情，否則如果我們不立即將它們寫下來，它們將在一天結束時從我們的意識中消失。

Your meditation practice can become so much more than just a process of receiving and being at the mercy of whatever you get. You can shift into a wonderful practice of learning and exploring that supports your healing, growth, and expansion in so many ways. I hope our meditation tips over the past few weeks help you deepen your practice into something that is even more beneficial and joyful for you.
你的冥想練習可以變得不僅僅是一種接受和任其展現的過程。你可以轉變為一種美妙的學習和探索實踐，以多種方式支持你的療癒、成長和擴展。我希望我們過去幾週的冥想技巧能幫助你加深練習，成為對你更有益、更快樂的事情。
