Picture of The Day

The Energy Body

Prana is the energy we get from within. A force that changes every day, month, year, or throughout a person's life. Prana gives us energy and must be taken care of and used in a way that doesn't deplete it. For energy management to be sustainable, we need to know how our energy body works. We must pay attention to whether we are feeling energized or tired. We may feel "stretched thin" or "low on energy." If we have too much energy that isn't used, we might feel frustrated. If we have a lot of hard family or work obligations, it might be hard to manage our energy. Luckily for us all, yoga can provide a systematic approach to managing our energy body.

Using the practice of sitting or lying, can be a useful place to start paying attention to the layers of being:

The Physical Body - Anamaya Kosha

Start to pay attention to how you feel when you lie down or sit down. Don't force yourself to be quiet. Slowly make things more comfortable. Pay attention to how warm or cool the room is, and use a head cushion to support your body. Check to see if you can dim the light or cover the eyes. Think about your body temperature and whether you need a blanket or another layer. Stillness comes from being safe, supported, and comfortable. Follow the small changes in the body. Getting the feet, heels, hips, and shoulders just right. Check the support for your head and neck. Then take three deep breaths. Exhale to let go of more weight.

We are telling the body that we'll pay attention and listen. Focusing on ourselves helps us keep our thoughts in check. by seeing the body and taking care of it.

Awareness without judgment, guilt, shame, or denial is being aware of our comfort needs and being willing to meet them. This can grow and get stronger in us.

The Breath – Pranamaya Kosha

As we lie down comfortably, we can turn our curious attention to the breath and how it moves. The mind becomes its faithful friend, there to watch and help. By watching the breath, the mind takes a step back from being in charge and becomes more aware of the natural force that gives us life. We may notice that the mind wants to take over by lengthening or holding the breath, but the practice is to keep bringing our attention back to curiosity and wonder. When we breathe in, our minds may make a note of it by saying something like "breathing in" or "expanding," or maybe "rising" or "nourishing." As we breathe out, our minds can see: "breathing out," "letting go," "falling," or "cleansing."

All of these are things about the breath that the mind can pay attention to. It's a simple way to train the mind to be a loyal friend and team member instead of a controlling force that often works against us.

The Mind, Thoughts & Emotions – Manomaya Kosha

From the breath to the mind. We watch ideas come and go. They move up and down like the air. Thoughts that come in waves and have emotional energy fascinate us. Their feel and quality can either shake our foundations and make us feel less safe or give us support and help us grow. On intent and very often, we look for these qualities. We might think about past or future talks, depending on how "dark" or "loving" or "calm" we feel. We observe. We feel pain, anger, fear, calm, and happiness. As we improve our testimony by being present, we may see our feelings and thoughts fade away. When we notice, we get acceptance and the truth. In the same way that warmth and support bring peace to our bodies, being present for our thoughts and feelings without judging them brings peace to our minds and hearts. We stop passing judgment on them.

We feel both safe and held while also having a sense of space and freedom. Here, we find deep, lasting peace that flows from the inside to the outside and back again. Our peace becomes stable, like a natural wellspring of life. What holds us is also in us, and knowing this lets us let go and flow with life in a way that is both healthy for us and those around us.

🌟 WEEKLY ASTROLOGY 

This week, Mercury comes out of its retrograde phase, the Sun moves into Aquarius, and a new Moon marks a fresh start. We are asked to start making plans, dreaming, and moving forward again.

Mercury was in the sign of Capricorn and moving backwards as we crossed into the new year. When this retrograde ends on January 19, 2023, we can use the invitations, offers, and help that Mercury in Capricorn gives us in a different way.

In astrology, Mercury is in charge of our minds. It affects how we get information, how we think about it, and how we share it. As an archetype, it stands for learning, logic, facts, technology, communication, planning, and so on.

On January 20, 2023, the start of the Aquarius season will signal the conclusion of the Capricorn season. Here, the Sun starts to adopt the form of Aquarius by kindling and illuminating our sense of self, innate inclinations and wants, and outlook on life. This is where the Sun emerges from Capricorn's logical, grounded, and serious nature.

On January 21, 2023, the Sun and Moon will be close to each other, creating a new Moon in Aquarius. When there is a new moon, there is a chance for new beginnings, imagining, and seeing. They include the moment of nothingness where everything is possible.

MANTRA OF THE WEEK

Om Dum Durgayei Namaha

”Salutations to She, who is graceful to the seeker of truth and terrible in appearance to those who would harm devotees of truth.”

Om Dum Durgayei Namaha (Sanskrit: ॐ दुं दुर्गायै नमः) is a Sanskrit mantra, honoring the powerful Hindu goddess, Durga. Since Hindus believe that Durga can take away the pain and protect them from harm, they say this mantra to get divine protection.

One way to get Durga's blessings is to say Om Dum Durgayei Namaha with devotion, humility, and a sense of giving in to divine powers. This can help get rid of problems with health, money, and success, giving devotees wisdom, good health, and wealth.

Om Dum Durgayei Namaha can be repeated silently as a form of meditation or out loud to use the energy of the vibrations of the sound.
