Ayurveda, Yoga & Bhakti w/ Dr. Laksmana Dasa AyD

#astrologyandgita BG 6.5 There are many planets in the wash of purification right now ( the Sun, Debilitated Mars, Venus, and retrograde Mercury) . In the sign of Cancer ruled by the Moon or the indicator of the Mind .. The opportunity seen is a cleansing and purifying of our values, our creativity, expressions and the way we communicate with each other; what brings us joy and those close to heart and close to our hands . ... What feet we place our head at right now is key . How are our actions in the world seen ~ or not seen ~ in which case becoming heated with hot steam or a need to blow off some hot steam is very indicated . ..) This cleansing is a pivot ~ or the top of the mountain between our past actions and our future with Jupiter ruling the 9th and in the 5th house in exchange with Saturn. This is beautifully displayed by the Lovers Card of choices ~ also representing Gemini where the Moon is at today. The mountain at center .. The changeable Moon rules this process right now both fickle and nourishing ~ as of today the Moon resides in Gemini; 12th from the As of Cancer... This is the High Priestess in the house of the Lovers ~ along with the Fool or Rahu. This house is interestingly represented by the Moon Card. The unconscious emotions and beliefs are creating an undercurrent to our mental perspectives ~ and can in fact rule much of our actions right now. How do we relate to the unconscious undercurrents that can seize our mind so easily... ??? The Bhagavad Gita explains: "A man must elevate himself by his own mind, not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. "(Bhagavad-gita 6.5) How can I befriend my Mind as an ally rather than an enemy? How can I nourish and Inspire my Mind rather than saturate, intoxicate or distract? What brings me joy? #foodforthought #bhagavadgita

#todaysbliss ~ .... blue: ... as a primary color it cannot be created nor destroyed ~ only added too and fractals: ... a little more green it goes one way and a little more violet and it goes the other... ~ blue has the healing properties of reducing heat or Pitta Dosha in Ayurvedic color therapy ... ~ corresponds to Saturday; Saturn and emotional due diligence... ... ~ Royal and Lighter blues are considered more Sattvic; in the mode of goodness, truth and harmony ... ~ Electric and intense blues are more in the mode of passion; Rajas, the mode of self motivated desire. ~ Deeper blues like the ocean are more introspective ~ subconscious and corresponds to the psychic realm, the hidden, illusion and the mind . . ~ Lighter blues like sky blue give a new perspective; a breath of fresh air or inspiration ~ the color can act like a cool breeze ... and can remove doubts. ~ Walking meditation can show one how the ranges of blues are perfectly conceived in nature ... by our gaze from the ground level ~ to eye level ~ and then to heaven... . . #ayurveda #krishnabhakti #ayurvediccolor #color #the3gunas #walkingmeditation See more
