Hi Everyone π
This week we move through a Virgo Full Moon accompanied by a lunar eclipse happening on 3rd March.
In yoga philosophy, the Moon is connected with the mind (manas). Periods like this can sometimes amplify mental activity, emotions, or sensitivity. This may feel a little uncomfortable at times, but it also offers an opportunity to deepen our personal practice and awareness.
When the mind becomes restless, the practice is not to control it but to observe it with steadiness. One of the eight limbs of yoga that supports this is Pratyahara, the gentle withdrawal of attention inward.
Practice for the week
Spend at least 10 minutes each day sitting and observing the breath.
Notice the movement of the mind, and draw attention inward, steady and calm, observing the breath. Allow the senses to soften inward. Observe the movements of the mind without following them.
Reflection
