Zodiac Signs And Yoga
We have all had moments in life when we wondered why we keep on making the same mistakes again and again
. While we are quite content with some aspects of our nature, we are not so fond of some of our other traits. Why is it that some of us always have difficulty with self confidence while others genuinely feel brave and secure? How come some people are such good communicators while others experience great difficulty in expressing themselves, thus leading to much unhappiness in their personal relationships? Even though we are all human in that we all have two eyes and one nose, our inner being is incredibly unique. Then again we come across the question, why is a certain positive or negative trait being expressed differently in each one of us and more importantly, how can we turn our weaknesses into strong points?
The energies exerted by the planets when you were born indicate your basic strengths and weaknesses. We can give an example of this using the north and south nodes of the moon. The positions of these two indicate the fundamental lessons we will have to learn in life. While the South Node shows the habits, weaknesses and talents we were born with, the North Node gives us an idea of the lessons we need to learn and the skills we need to develop to become better people. Even though we might not appear to be using certain talents, we are always capable of developing them.
Let's take up the nodes of Virgo and Pisces. A person born with Virgo in the northern node will have Pisces in the opposite South. This means, the person has already spiritual and intuitional qualities of Pisces inbuilt, however he still has to learn how to manifest the practical approach and communicational qualities of Virgo. By instinct, this person will always want to behave according to the South node because he already knows how to do these very well. He will always enjoy a spiritual understanding and depth but will tend to refrain from communicating with others or working in a disciplined and active way in life. Nevertheless, the cosmic teacher wants us to overcome all our fears and so will always send this person tests in life that will teach him to bring out just these qualities he is hiding within. Astrology mainly teaches us about ourselves and the balance we need to establish in our life.
Naturally, it is not so easy to establish new and positive traits in our character, let alone transform weaknesses into strengths. We face the same tests again and again until we finally achieve an inner improvement which resolves a particular weakness in our being. Our instincts always tell us to go one way while conditions in life push us in the opposite direction. We end up having to tackle many hurdles in the journey of life and could even find that we suffer from tension and thus, sickness.
Thanks to a discovery made by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, we can now establish inner balance in our life by using our own powers. There is no need to renounce the life and hide away in the Himalayas or in a cave, due to the awakening of a spiritual energy called Kundalini one can find inner balance in the normal life conditions. Just like our physical and spiritual traits, our Kundalini energy is also born with us but lies dormant, hidden until called upon. Once awakened through the incredibly simple technique of Sahaja Yoga, the process that follows is one of serene transformation. Day by day you can see your own change through meditation. How? With the help of the inner teacher, the loving and beautifying Kundalini energy which Shri Mataji calls one's "very own Mother". Your energy is unique to you and knows everything about you. If she is the mother energy, then you are the child that she is responsible for taking care of. Kundalini energy gives us not only a spiritual experience, she also gives us guidance in our day to day life by sending signals through the central nervous system.
Now we are speaking about our energy centers, widely known as chakras, that are located in various parts of our body. Any weakness in the energy centers is located by your Kundalini energy to be worked upon. Daily meditation enables you to empower yourself through the connection established by your Kundalini with the all pervading cosmic power. Shri Mataji defines the awakening of this energy as "self realization", i.e. "knowing yourself". Once you obtain this knowledge, it is easy to make the changes that are important for you to establish balance in your character. For example, astrological vulnerability to anger is caused by an energetic blockage at the second energy center. Once the Kundalini energy rises she will send signals through the nervous system in this area. Not only will the person be aware of this problem but will enjoy the capacity to correct it as well. After all, you can't ignore yourself!
Both yoga and astrology show us how energy works in our life. Yoga accepts that energy is expressed through the body while astrology shows us the hidden reasons for certain things. Both are able to make the same findings.
As humans are becoming more and more spiritually oriented, curiosity is aroused over the connection between these two ancient sciences and how they can be used to improve human life. Combining them together can give us better understanding of ourselves and can show us the way how to clear our problems. Thus we can establish balance between our physical, emotional and spiritual beings. Both of them require teachers to be able to learn, and Shri Mataji is now renowned as a world spiritual master who teaches everyone wanting to learn the science of self-realization, free of cost. By awakening your Kundalini energy, she helps you rise above your inborn weaknesses and turn them into strengths that you can be proud of. Numerous people have expressed how they have been able to create beautiful music or write amazing poetry after this experience. This is all thanks to the opening of the second energy center. A great number of people have enjoyed being cured from inherited diseases or have expressed how certain aspects of their birth charts, despite being quite dangerous, manifest in a much milder and positive way than expected. The experience of Sahaja Yoga is also described as second birth as self realization is like refreshing your system in an instant! We hope you now fully enjoy the love and harmony the cosmos is waiting to offer you.
