Picture of The Day

🔥 Do You Feel Fiery?

The imbalance: Pitta fire + water (2⁄3 fire, 1⁄3 water) When your pitta is out of balance, you’ll feel fiery. Do you know when you feel like you're about to burst? That’s pitta gone wrong. It’s why we have cartoon characters with fire coming out of their heads to demonstrate anger and use terms such as “hot-headed” or “hot-tempered.” When you have too much pitta, you can physically feel heat and tension move throughout your body. With nowhere for it to go, you may end up erupting onto others. When left out of balance, unresolved anger or rage will build up—and it could get inappropriately directed at those closest to you.

Tap Into Joy With Moving Meditations

WHAT ARE MOVING MEDITATIONS? Moving meditations can take many forms, but walking slowly and consciously is a friendly entry point. Destination, distance, and pace are all incidental—each step is your focal point. Relax your arms at your sides and move freely, coordinating your breath with your steps. Choose a setting you love such as the beach, a favorite park, or a beautiful meadow. Meditation is your complete involvement in the action of walking.

TRY THIS:

Get grounded: Lie down and feel the earth beneath you. Stretch or touch your skin as a way to reconnect to your body. Use oil to massage yourself, feeling the sensation of your fingers. Take notice of your surroundings. Smell the air and hear the sounds around you to tune back into the present. Practice deep squats and any pose lying down where you feel supported, rested, and grounded. Know that you are safe, held, and loved by Mother Earth—and that she is inside of you.

Yogapedia:

This grounded leg lift helps cultivate balance, centeredness, and stability and elongates your side body while offering a hamstring stretch.

STEP BY STEP1. Lie on your right side with your bottom leg extended, and your foot flexed. With your right elbow down on the mat, bend it to bring your right palm to support your head. Ground down evenly from your elbow to your foot.

2. Stack your body so that your left hip and shoulder are above your right hip and shoulder.

3. Using your left hand, draw your top (left) knee to your torso. Then, use your left hand to grab hold of your thigh, calf, foot, or big toe. Flex your left foot, and extend your leg up to the ceiling so it’s nearly perpendicular to the floor.

4. As your leg lifts, press your left sitting bone toward your right heel. This action helps activate your core muscles and stabilizes your body in the pose.

5. Draw your left front ribs into your body.

6. Lengthen your back and waist.

Hold for 5–10 breaths. Repeat on the other side.
