Cooling the Heat of the Mind

The sky right now feels heavy. With the Moon in Ardra and Mars trailing close by, the mind is prone to sharp, sudden agitation. You're likely feeling that restlessness deep in your chest today. It's the friction of the senses against unresolved debts.

When the atmosphere is this volatile, don't fight the tide. I suggest shifting your focus to the Chandra-Mantra, 'Om Som Somaya Namaha.'

It’s not just about sound. It’s about calling on the cooling energy of the Moon to dampen the fire Mars is currently fueling in Gemini. Sit for ten minutes in the dark. Let the rhythm of the chant bypass your racing thoughts.

If you're feeling particularly stuck, keep a glass of silver-touched water nearby while you meditate. It pulls away the excess heat. You've got to stop trying to think your way out of these transits; sometimes, you just have to sit still and let the vibration move through you instead. Don't push. Just listen.
