Hands are up at sides, elbows down. Jupiter & Saturn fingers are in “V” mudra. Pull shoulders back, put pressure on shoulder blades. Eyes are closed, looking at the tip of the chin from the inside. Breathe long and deep. Contemplate the mind. 11 min.
Inhale, hold, squeeze, exhale. 3x
This meditation will calm the mind, bring it to Shuniya. Sensation of breathing through the spine.
“Out of that comes the art in which man equates himself with God,
And forgets the strength of the cyclone.
And as every pride has a fall,
The cyclone comes back
To complete the circle and start all over again.”
Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Stagnation thwarts all efforts to improve the situation. No amount of brilliant or creative endeavors seem to change anything. There is no blame. Rather than feel remorse for the state of affairs, just accept that you must hold to your course and keep your grace. Continue reading “Today: Stagnation and Retreat – from the I Ching”
“The cyclone brings the destruction and tests the plantation. It gives the chance of reconstruction. Out of reconstruction comes new designing, new planning

Use your discipline to overcome your limitations, but not too much. Too much discipline is too constrictive and cannot be endured. It becomes self destructive. Allow what you have been waiting for to come in its own time and through release of your resistance.
“Golden rays of the setting sun
Mingling with the moon at the far away horizon,
And the waves reflecting light towards home.
Somewhere under the canopy, a meditating yogi, a smiling sage
Watching the charisma of the divine heaven.”
