品香靜心，讓自己和世界更美好的快速法 To meditate with incense is a rapid way to make yourself and world better!

近年來，整個地球、社會環境的意識混亂，無論是環境、氣候、生態都已遭受嚴重破壞，戰爭、經濟、貧窮、人心疏離……人們承受嚴重的精神壓力，心靈空虛、感受不到愛、對生命絕望，因此憂鬱症、癌症、慢性疾病都已成為人類最迫切需要解決的問題。

In recent years, our world is experiencing unprecedented chaos in terms of the collective consciousness or the living environment. Moreover, the endless wars, financial recession, poverty, and segregation among human beings all impose severe burdens on our psychology. And thus, many of us tend to feel despaired, empty, and hopeless, suffering from depression or other chronic diseases, which has become an urgent issue that we have to cope with immediately.

 

根據調查，靜心會開啟內在的愛與慈悲，對世界產生積極的正面效益。1993年夏天，在世界聞名的謀殺之都華盛頓特區，進行了一個大型試驗，來自一百個國家的四千名志願者整天一起靜坐，結果發現特區的犯罪率下降了25％。從量子力學的觀點而言，情緒思想就是一種波動，再微細的念頭也會造成影響。而宇宙是一個無量之網，彼此相互共振，此地人們的情緒思想所產生的波動，會同步傳遞至他處，這個共振的現象，說明無論地球發生什麼事，都和我們有關係，必須負起責任。

According to some studies, meditation can trigger our inner love and compassion, which leads to a positive impact on our world. In summer, 1993, a well-known study conducted in Washington, a town noted for its high murder rate, reported that the murder rate of a single day dropped 25% in Washington when 4000 volunteers from over 100 countries meditated for that whole day. Based on quantum physics, our emotions radiate vibrations. Even subtle thoughts have vibrations. In one sense, the universe is an infinite net, where every being can influence one another. That is to say, we have to be fully responsible for what we are doing, since what we do matters to others and what is happening on earth matters to us too.

 靜坐在集體意識中產生協調性和正面性。這種集體意識的正面性的成長，降低負面性的趨勢（如上述所說的犯罪及暴力行為），同時也提高了正面的社會趨勢。靜坐可以改變人類集體意識，是讓世界更美好的快速方法。我們片刻都離不開呼吸，藉由靜坐，我們整合了內在分裂的自己，找回健康和幸福，也同時協助世界更和諧，恢復地球原本的美麗。

Meditation brings harmony and positive influence to the collective consciousness. When the positive impact gets stronger, the negative phenomena, such as crimes and violence, relatively dwindle. That’s why meditation is regarded as a rapid way to curb the society. We have to breathe every moment, and through meditation, we can regulate our breath and simultaneously integrate our inner world, retrieve our health as well as happiness, help the world become more peaceful, and last but not least, make our earth a better place to live on.

然而許多學靜心的人，剛開始由於念頭紛飛，自覺資質不好、沒有慧根、毅力不夠，因此總想放棄。經由實際體驗，靜坐時點一盤天然香，香氣會在空間形成祥和寧靜的能量場，能夠快速讓腦波放慢、緩和情緒、沉澱思維，體會到靜心對生理、心理以及靈性的深遠影響。品香靜心自然簡單、是讓自己和世界更美好的快速法。
