Meditation for Aries: Balance your Pitta!
Mars natives can be benefitted through techniques that develop insight and build energy in the body. Aries people like to work on themselves in a practical way, through physical practices (THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM yoga) or mental techniques like visualizations or rituals.
Here is a meditation for you:
The first 10 minutes: In standing position, close your eyes and start to intensely shake your body from head to toe. Let your body become like a liquid.
The next 10 minutes: Sit down wherever you are. Sit on a chair if you need to and create whatever sounds and gibberish comes to your mind. Do not use words that you know. Release all the irritation you hold inside. If it is needed, visualize or remember situations which caused tension in you, and focus on bringing out sounds from your navel area. Express yourselves!
The last 10 minutes: Just sit quietly. Witness whatever is happening in your body and mind, without passing any judgment on any of your thoughts, without resisting any thought and without destroying any thought. Just be as you are, enjoy the light sensation in your ma´ip¦raka cakra!
Nithya Dhyaan: the Universal Technique
Nithya Dhyaan is a formula and technique that works on all the components of your being. Whatever your birth sign may be, it awakens the cosmic powers within you and makes them available to your being to excel in all spheres of life.
This is a five-step technique. Allow seven minutes for each step. Keep your eyes closed throughout the meditation.
1- Chaotic breathing:
Sit in vajr¢sana (kneel and sit on your heels). Place your hands on your hips and breathe chaotically, without a repetitive rhythm. Just focus on your breathing; let your entire being become the breathing.
2- Intense Humming:
Continue to sit in vajr¢sana, form cin mudra with your fingers (with the thumb and forefinger forming a circle and other three fingers outstretched), and place your hands on your knees, palms facing upwards. In this posture, with your mouth closed, produce the sound 'Mmmm…' from inside your body, as loudly and lengthily as possible.
3- Cakra awareness:
You may continue to sit in vajr¢sana or sit crossed legged if you wish. Keep your fingers in cin mudra position. Now, bring your awareness to each cakra one after the other, from m¦l¢dh¢ra cakra (root center) to sahasr¢ra cakra(crown
center). Feel each cakra completely as if your whole being has become that energy center.
4- Silent Meditation: Be unclutched
In this step, carry the understanding with you that your thoughts are unconnected, irrational and unclutched. Don't try to create thoughts, don't try to maintain thoughts, do not try to destroy thoughts or react to them. Just sit and watch them. Understand, by your very nature, you are pure being and bliss.
5- Guru P¦ja
Now, connect, relax and rest into the universal energy. Just sit in a very deep and passive way, feeling one with the whole, God,
or your Master. Listen to the Guru p¦ja mantras and feel their vibration in you. Express your gratitude with reverence.
