June & your Inner Journey

Do the grey skies and frequent rain clouds affect the way you feel? According to numerology, this month is a time for introspection, for creating time and space to go deep within and sort out the wheat from the chaff.

Asana & mantra can be a great vehicle for this. In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, we learn that one of the major qualities of asana is sthira, meaning steadiness and alertness. Mantras, which are made up of manas (mind) and tra (purification), when we add our own intentions to them, can promote healing, insight, courage, power, creativity and spiritual connection.
