Finding Stillness When Your Mind Feels Heavy

Lately, I’ve been hearing from so many of you who just can’t seem to quiet your thoughts. When the planetary energies feel chaotic, it shows up as restlessness in the home. I find that Moon afflictions, especially, really stir up that underlying anxiety.

Don’t try to force your mind to go blank. It doesn't work that way. Instead, try Chandra Dhyana. It’s a simple practice of sitting quietly and focusing on your breath while chanting 'Om Som Somaya Namaha' just eleven times. It isn't a cure-all, but it helps settle the nerves.

I like to do this when the Choghadiya is in an Amrit or Shubh period to make the most of the timing. You don't need fancy equipment, just a quiet corner where you won't be interrupted for five minutes. If you’re feeling extra scattered, check your birth chart on Vyom to see if you’re currently running a transit that demands this kind of extra self-care. Be gentle with yourself today. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s always enough.
