Part – 2 : 醒覺：皮膚的每個毛孔都要化為眼睛 Awareness: Every pore of the skin has to become an eye：

我們要學習培養強烈的敏悟力，讓皮膚的每個毛孔都可以做為內心的眼睛。

當你可以在這些內心之眼的幫助下，從身體內部輕柔地調節與平衡身體。用內心之眼「看」與平常用肉眼看是不同的，你不是在看，而是在感覺：你是在感知自己身體的位置。

比如你在做「戰士式」站姿時，雙臂伸展，

你可以看到你面前的手指尖，但你也可以感知自己的指尖。
你可以感知手的位置，手的伸展、手指尖的狀態。
你也可以感知後腿的放置狀態，不必回頭或照鏡子就知道自己的腿是否伸直了。

你必須在身體億萬個細胞的內心之眼幫助下，觀察和調整自己的身體位置，（內外皆同時調整），這樣你就可以開始將醒覺的智性帶到全身，將大腦與肌肉的智性融為一體，這種智性在體位法練習時全程必須遍布全身，一旦失去皮膚的知覺，體位法就變得呆板，智性也會跟著停止。

Asana can begin to teach us . We are developing such an intense sensitivity that each port of the skin acs as an inner eye. You can adjust and balance the body gently from within with the help of these eyes. This is difference from seeing with your normal two eyes. Instead you are feeling: you are sensing the position of your body:

When you stand in the warrior pose with your arms extended, you can see the fingers of your hand in front of you, but you can also feel them.
You can also sense the placement of your back leg and tell whether it is straight or not without looking back or in a mirror.
You must observe and correct the body position (adjusting is from both sides) with the help of the trillions of eyes that you have in the form of cells. This is how you begin to bring awareness to your body and fuse the intelligence of brain and brawn. This intelligence should exist everywhere in your body and throughout the asana. The moment you lose the feeling in the skin, the asana becomes dull, and the flow or current of the intelligence is lost.

皮膚佈滿了密集的神經末梢纖維網，我們日常感知的痛覺、觸覺、壓覺、溫度覺都來自皮膚，這些感覺最終回饋給身體和大腦讓我們能夠做出正確的反應。
