🦁🙏🤍 Happier January 🤍🙏🦁 Day 25: Decide To Lift People Up Rather Than Put Them Down.

🧙‍♂️🌟 Full Snow Moon 🌝 in Leo ♌ 🌟🧙‍♂️ Aquarius ♒ Season made Us question who We really are, and what is the Motivations behind some of our Decisions. To Be able to See your Unique path, You need to Forget what OTHERS are doing. No More Comparing to others,, No more Following the Mass Crowd, and No more Seeking External Validations. And this Mental detachment is Truly Amazing & Powerful, but did You accidentally detach your Heart ♥ as well? Did You detach your Love from the World? Did You Start Judging them once again, or Looking down onto them? Isolating from them maybe? Declaring that You're Different and that they'll never Understand You? That's the "Shadow" of Aquarius ♒. Self-Exile, Self-Rejection, Self-Doubts and Self-Destruction are the usual suspects... And this Leo's ♌ Full Moon 🌝 Energies, are Here to ask You to Take your Power back, to Open Up your Heart ♥, and Start Trusting Yourself again. Spread your Joy, spread your Live, and all of the different Shades & Colors that makes You, so much Different, so "YOU"nique. Show the World who You Truly are Unapologetically, Show them What Drives You Passionately, perhaps a different Way of doing something will manifest for them... It doesn't Matter if they Clap & Cheer, if they Boo, and if they continue Ignoring You, It Absolutely doesn't Matter. What Truly Matters, is that You are Happy, Fulfilled and at Peace with Yourself, and that you're not Hiding anymore, behind Walls of Known, of Ease, Comfort, and sometimes of a Wee bit of Fear of the New & Unknown. Just as the Power that drives Leo's ♌ Lion 🦁 Energies⚡, it is Now great Time for You to Take the Lead, Trusting that You are Exactly where You need to Be, that You have Everything that You Need to Face, or Deal and Succeed to whatever Life experiences may bring to You on your Journey. Step by Step, Trusting in you're Sovereign & Divine Power's, as You continue Moving forward, always Guided by your Heart ♥. You got this, I promise You... 🧙‍♂️🙏🤍🌝♒🌟✨💫 💜 💙 💚 💛 🧡 ❤️ 💖 (at Snow Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVQ3TXuQXL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🤍🙏🕉️🧘‍♂️ MUDRAS 🧘‍♂️🕉️🙏🤍

Meaning ‘Seal’, ʼMark’ or ‘Gesture’ in Sanskrit are said to intensify the Effects of our Yoga or Meditation practice, and Enhance the Flow of Energy ⚡.

The specific origins of Mudras are unknown although they’ve been around for thousands of years, appearing in varying religions and traditions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Tantric rituals, Roman art, Asian Martial arts, Taoism, Indian Classical dance, even found in organizations such as Freemasons, and more.

While some Mudras involve the entire Body, most are Performed with the Hands and Fingers.

The purpose of these hand gestures varies according to tradition, from focusing Subtle Energy, transmitting teaching through symbols, Acting as a tool for Healing illness, even attributing Magical Powers or Psychic Abilities to the Practitioner.

In Yoga and Meditation many uses Mudras alongside Pranayama (Yoga Breathing exercises), usually when seated cross-legged in Sukhasana, Virasana or Padmasana.

Mudras are also incorporated into the Physical practice of Yoga Asana.

Performing Mudras have been said to stimulate the Flow of Prana (Life Force or Energy ⚡) throughout the Body, and to Quieten the Mind by focusing it on the simple touch of our Hands or Fingers and to Intensify the Power of our practice.

According to Ayurveda, disease is the result of an Imbalance in our Body caused by a Deficiency or an Excess one of the Five Key Elements: Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.

Each of these is said to Play a specific Role within the Body and are represented by the Five Fingers:

The Thumb – Fire

The Forefinger – Wind

The Middle Finger – Ether (or Space)

The Ring Finger – Earth

The Little Finger – Water

The Fingers in essence Act as electrical circuits and the use of Mudras adjust the Flow of Energy which Balance these Elements, accentuating Healing.

Anima Mundi, orThe Soul of the World. The Anima Mundi is the feminine creative power of God who turns the sphere of the stars and disperses planetary influences to nourish the material world.

The Anima Mundi appears in The History of the Macrocosm and the Microcosm of Robert Fludd, who described her as a “supreme intelligence” of “an angelic nature.”

As man (the microcosm) has a soul, so must the macrocosm have a soul, Fludd said. The engraving of the Anima Mundi shows a virgin joined to God by a chain that descends through the levels of the hierarchy of Existence.
