Mukta – relaxed

« The Mukta moves about there laughing, playing, and rejoicing, with women, with carriages with other Muktas of his own period or of the past Kalpas. (So great is his ecstasy) that he does not remember even the person standing near him, nor even his own body. And as a charioteer, is appointed by his master, to drive the carriage, just so is this Prāṇa appointed to drive this chariot of the body».  ( (Chandogya Upanishad , 8.12.3.).

The mukta is the liberated person, so relaxed that he can move around the world without being too distressed by what is around him.

Do you tend to believe that if something goes wrong at work, it is someone else’s fault? You are struggling to make your way, Virgo, but as in all roads there are more or less great obstacles. None insurmountable though. Look inside yourself, for perhaps there are fears or memories within you that cloud what you see now. You may even be afraid that if you relax too much, you won’t be doing much while you feel like you have to get busy. Well, there is a measure for everything and often even by relaxing you can generate something new and creative.

Awareness exercise

Take at least five minutes each day when you leave all worries aside. You don’t need to meditate. You can read a book, lie down looking at the ceiling, drink or eat something good. But for those five minutes, don’t think about what you have to do. Use a timer … five minutes!
