Where is the Sun calling you to illuminate your path? Share below. 💛 In the cosmos, the Sun is our guiding light, showing us where our soul yearns to shine and grow. Its position in the heavens whispers to us about our purpose, our truth, and the energy we are meant to embody. When we align our daily actions with this celestial light, we step into a rhythm that fuels our spirit, energizes our body, and brings clarity to our mind. It’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and ask: *Am I moving toward what lights me up?* Today, let the Sun be your guide. Step boldly into the spaces that call for your light and let your soul shine brighter. 🌟 Where is the Sun calling you to illuminate your path?

How will you practice the art of receiving today? Share your thoughts below...In a world that often celebrates giving, we sometimes forget the sacred act of receiving. Yet it is through receiving—light, rain, air, love—that life flourishes. Receiving is not about taking; it’s about allowing life to move through us, nourishing and connecting us like blood circulating through one body.When we truly receive, we listen deeply. We absorb the beauty, the pain, the vulnerability that flows between us, and in doing so, we grow stronger together.Today, I invite you to honor both giving and receiving as two vital aspects of the same divine flow. Let’s nurture this pulse of life—within ourselves, between each other, and with the world around us.How will you practice the art of receiving today? Share your thoughts below. 💛#AyurvedaWisdom #ReceivingLight #FlowOfLife #gratitude #thanksgiving #grateful ... See MoreSee Less

Mercury goes retrograde today. When planets “retrograde” they are nearer to earth. Scroll to see the Yantra Mercury and the Earth draw in the sky as they orbit. When Mercury retrogrades, we can feel something unsettled, something hidden, a difficulty in expressing ourselves. Mercury is retrograding today in Jyestha Nakshatra, in Scorpio. Jyestha is ruled by Mercury, so “he’s” retrograding in his own Nakshatra. Jyestha gives the power to overcome, to rise above perils, to conquer, heal, reveal the subconscious to work with it positively. So you can imagine Mercury here will want us to go back and consider carefully those intractable problems we’ve glided over. It’s time to face them. And also to face our fears, anxieties, whatever ick is lurking there in the subconscious. It is time to conquer the illusions and irrationals. Rituals to rise in this Mercury Retrograde period:🍃Tulsi is a plant that relates to Mercury. Tulsi helps us breathe, is an adaptogen so supports the nervous system, and is purifying. Sip a tulsi tea while comtemplatitg your higher mind and its capacity to dissolve all doubts and traces of imagined separation from source.🍃Jyestha means elder, elder sister specifically. Honoring, supporting, serving elders is a great way to bring this Rx transit into supportive alignment. 🍃 Meditate on a green light at your heart. Mercury’s color is green, or more precisely, emerald. It is the planet of the intellect, or inner, deeper mind. Visualizing green light at the heart draws your mind in and down to ground and center. It’s in this quieter space that we make our best decisions.🍃 Ayurvedic herbs like Brahmi, Shankapushpi, Mucuna Pruriens are good for the mind. But each has its own energies - cooling or healing, tonifying or purifying - so do check with your favorite Ayurveda practitioner to know which is best for you.🍃 Forest bathing. Being in nature, surrounded by green life, breathing in pure prana supports the inner Mercury energy. It helps us regain the strength and clarity needed to rise and conquer, as this Mercury Rx in Jyestha wants for you. 💛🍃Image 1: @transcendencedesign3: @dharma_malas ... See MoreSee Less
