美的幸福方程式 The Formula of Beauty


清代醫學家吳尚先在《理瀹駢文》一書說:「七情之病,看花解悶,嗅香提神,聽曲消愁,有勝於服藥者矣。
 
A medicine expert in the Ching Dynasty once mentioned in a book, saying that if one was upset, he or she was advised to appreciate the beauty of blossoms, smell the fragrance of something to enhance his or her spiritual status, or listen to some great music to chase away the melancholy, as all the methods were thought to be superior to any medicinal treatment.
 


賞花,是視覺與觸覺的藝術;季節的遷變演化出大自然的繽紛色彩,讓人在四季的絮語中,看見美的存在與生命的豐盛。
Appreciating the beauty of blossoms is by all means enjoyable to our sense of sight and sense of touch. The seasonal changes bring out amazing colors, which allows us to witness the abundance of life as well as the existence of beauty in all seasons.


品香,是嗅覺的美感活動;植物的根莖葉花果實,蘊藏豐沛的生命力。昆蟲、鳥類、爬蟲類、哺乳類動物,都曉得以植物為藥;自古以來,人們也用香藥來淨化、療癒身心。嗅息香氣時,我們與植物的療癒力相應,讓軟弱得以堅強,讓恐懼得到勇氣,讓慳吝得以寬宏,讓高傲得以謙遜。品香,讓我們懂得去愛、去療癒、去理解,並活出自己的本性。
Yet, to appreciate the fragrance of incense can be regarded as an enjoyment for our sense of smell. All parts in plants teem with life. As a result, all the animals, including reptiles, insects, birds, and mammals, know to turn to plants for their medicinal properties. In addition, since the dawn of history, people have used fragrant herbs to purify themselves or calm themselves down. As we inhale the fragrance, we turn strong, courageous, generous, and humble. Appreciating the fragrance of incense makes it possible for us to love, to heal, to understand, to live with our essence.


欣賞音樂,是聽覺的活動;音樂是一個很神聖的恩典,人們不僅用音樂崇拜神、讚美神,也透過樂曲領略寧靜、撫慰心靈。有了音樂,我們可以表達喜怒哀樂,抒發心中的情感;許多研究更證明,音樂可以譜出療癒之路,讓我們恢復身心靈的平衡與健康。
Another thing, listening to music is an audio activity. Music is a holy blessing, and thus people worship their gods with music and feel at peace with consoling music. With music, we can express all out emotions. A lot of studies have shown that music can be healing, helping us regain the balance and health of our body, mind, and soul.

根據調查,人們百分之七十六的疾病都是因為負面情緒的心理因素所引起。透過五感美學,刺激大腦運作,讓腦波進入Alpha(8~12Hz)狀態。 Alpha波也稱「健康波」,是身心感覺最放鬆及最舒適的狀態,可以提高免疫力,恢復自癒能力,並能分泌腦內嗎啡帶來幸福感。
According to some research, 76 percent of diseases arise from negative emotions. Through the aesthetic enjoyments of our five sense, our brain waves can stay at 8~12Hz, also known as Alpha wave. That is the most comforting brain wave to us. Alpha wave can enhance our immune ability, help us heal, secret morphine to make us feel happy.
  美是一帖處方,其療效有勝於服藥者矣,七情之病就在自然、音樂、香氣中,得到了慰藉!
Beauty overwhelms all the medicine. All the emotional traumas can be healed by nature, music, and fragrance!
