TODAY'S LEARNING
Total Body Relaxation Meditation

Total body relaxation is an exercise that helps you relax your body, mind, and Spirit. It is designed to bring you into a state of deep surrender and stillness, allowing you to experience a heightened sense of peace and tranquility. This technique, which is also known as progressive muscle relaxation, aids in stress relief, physical tension release, and the reduction of anxious feelings.

Developing the skill of full-body relaxation can help you manage stress, enhance your mental clarity, and activate your body's innate healing energy. This technique can also help to get stagnant energy and stuck emotions flowing again. I like to do a full body relaxation exercise just before going to bed or after a really stressful day. Those who have trouble falling asleep or clearing their minds before bed may find it very beneficial.

To practice this technique, you will simply isolate one particular area of the body at a time by gently contracting or squeezing the muscles for about five seconds before relaxing them completely for five seconds. I like to repeat this isolated clench and release for a total of three times before moving on to the next body part.

For example, you may choose to start with your feet and then work your way upward. To start, you would squeeze and clench your feet and toes for the count of five, release for the count of five, and then repeat two more times. You would then proceed to your shins and calves, repeating the sequence until you have experienced this cycle of tension and release in every area of your body.

This practice uses a series of tensing and releasing to bring more flow to the energy channels. The challenge during this practice is to only focus on one muscle group at a time, while allowing the rest of your body to be still and the breath to be as relaxed as possible.

Each squeeze should feel slightly uncomfortable, like pressure is being applied to the particular body part you're focusing on. You may even sense a slight trembling in yourself. At the same time, you don't want to be so forceful that it causes you pain. So, you'll want to find a good balance where the pressure isn't too extreme that it hurts you, but not so light that it doesn't provide the intended results of relaxation.

Total body relaxation techniques help ease tension, ease the physical effects of stress and anxiety, and soothe your nervous system when used on a daily basis. It's an excellent activity to enhance general wellbeing.

About: We all have parts about our personality that we tend to suppress. People also refer to it as the 'Shadow-self'. It's the part where our negative beliefs about ourselves and others dwell.

When we do 'Shadow Work', we shine a light on these dark parts of our being. And while this can be a very difficult and painful practice, exposing and accepting them will lead to enormous personal growth.

Doing shadow work allows us to deal with and overcome past trauma. It can help you realize the source of your negative beliefs and your worst habits. Surface memories you had long forgotten or have been suppressing, and confront them.

Our emotions are not something that should rule us. We should aim to live a more balanced life. Only by accepting our emotions as they arise, are we able to let them go. We don't need to react to our anger or hurt the way we are used to.

 WEEKLY ASTROLOGY

According to astrology, the Sun stands for our individuality, identity, and sense of self. This identity of ours is already undergoing significant repair as it moves through the depths of Scorpio from October 23 to November 21, clearing the way for what is by removing everything that no longer feels connected and authentic.

The Sun and Uranus reside at opposing corners of the universe, stimulating one another, on November 13, the same day as this potent new Moon. But today, it appears that this recreation is the main attraction.

On November 17, 2023, as the Sun and Mars align in Scorpio, we are endowed with the motivational fires needed to discover the real us, to rediscover the strength needed to follow our path, and the courage and vigor to accept it. It's an energy spark. a passionate thrill. a fundamental yearning to follow our souls' calling—the one that is unique to ourselves and no one else.

This alignment of the stars in our skies, and consequently in our emotions, inspires us to remove any barriers that prevent us from expressing who we truly are. It gives everyone of us the confidence to take charge and say "no" when necessary. And maybe long overdue, a wholehearted "yes" to ourselves.
