Shanti – pace
«Om. May peace radiate there in the whole sky as well as in the vast ethereal space everywhere. May peace reign all over this earth, in water and in all herbs, trees and creepers. May peace flow over the whole universe. May peace be in the Whole Universe. And may there always exist in all peace and peace alone. Om peace, peace and peace to us and all beings!» (Yajurveda 36:17).
Happy New Year and Happy Birthday Capricorn! You have finally removed the heaviness of your own ruler, Saturn, and although the planet of fortune has also gone from your orbit, from this year you will feel the positive fruits of both, what this 2020 bequeathed. Although until Epiphany you may feel uncertain and not convinced that you can relax in your soul, already shortly after the holidays you will feel the change that will push you, if you have not already done so, to take on new healthy habits, to enjoy the your physical and mental peace. Peace be!
IN PRACTICE
Buddha-āsana, Buddha contemplation pose
An ultra simple pose, but with a great impact. Stay there every day at least a minute.
Awareness exercise
Sit every day for five minutes in a meditative position and think about what your ideal life would be like: What would you like? How would you like to be? Don’t judge too much, just observe what emerges spontaneously.
Mantra of the month
«Shanti shanti shantihi»
