Astrology and Spirituality

Image
This blog is a continuation of my previous blog that is based on the universe in our palm. As I have mentioned earlier that the human beings are miniature universe and planets and their energy represents different parts of our body, astronomy or astrology also has some direct connect in our lives. Here, I would like to explain astrology in spiritual terms rather in religious terms. With this I mean that there are planets that also represent gods in Hindu mythology, such as the Lord Surya (the Sun), Lord Shani the Saturn (the son of Lord Sun), Jupiter (The Guru), Rahu and Ketu (2 notorious demons), Mars (related to Lord Hanuman) and so on. So what is astrology? In spiritual terms, I would say the study of the position of planets at the time of our birth and how each planet is placed that provides some degree of power or energy from the universe. Other definitions say that Astrology is science, the study of the cosmic objects that are planets. The astrologers stu

Universe in our Palm

Image
Further to our previous blog on Hasta mudra for consciousness and healing, mudras have many more purposes as each finger represents more. The thumb represents kidney, bladder, intestines, belly and female reproductive organs and the Index finger represents the throat, neck, teeth, ears and thyroid glands. The Middle finger is for intellectual awareness, power, accomplishments, and ego whereas the ring finger is for eyes, face, and brain. The pinky, little finger, represents the heart, lungs, shoulders, upper back and circulatory system of our body. This information on fingers is useful for curing people with acupressure or acupuncture. According to the tantra philosophy, the universe is the expression of awareness or consciousness. The Shiva being masculine and retains the static quality and Shakti or the Kundalini, a feminine, is dynamic, energetic and very creative. The human beings are a miniature universe. Every principle that applies to the universe also applies

Hastha Mudras for Consciousness and Healing

Image
Mudra is a formation of a gesture, we also call it a ritual gesture in Hinduism and Buddhism performed during spiritual practices.  Mudras involve the eyes, body postures, and breathing techniques as well, here we will focus on understanding the Hastha Mudra for meditation and consciousness. Hastha Mudra is a Sanskrit term where hastha means hand and mudra means a mark or a seal.  Hastha mudra is practiced mainly in a seated position but some techniques can be done while walking or even while standing provided the body is calm.  The advantage of mudras is that it helps in the flow of energy and stimulates the brain while performing asana, pranayama, and meditation. Our yogic science has explained that the human body consists of panch tattvas and every finger is related and connected to these tattvas. The Thumb represents fire (agni), the index finger represents air (vayu), middle finger represents space (akash), ring finger represents earth (prithvi) and the baby finger repr

Mantra Meditation and Healing

Image
A sound is a powerful tool. The vibrations and waves generated due to the  right kind of sound can heal the soul.  Music, however, has always been there as a source of relaxation and peace. Music is also a type of sound.  Our solar system creates a sound of AUM. God is the master of the cosmic sound that causes the planets to adopt the elongated orbit to produce beautiful vibrations and music; also known as the music of the spheres. A great Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras also observed the heavens sounded one vowel down to our earth. The ancient sages from India also discovered the same conclusion. The pronunciation of vowels corresponds to the vibration of the f ive planets namely Venus (O), Jupiter (A), Saturn (E), Mars (I) and Mercury (U). Our music reveals the essence of the universe. It is through music that we can reach  God too. Great Saints like Kabir, Soordas, Swami Haridas  are known for their soothing devotional songs and Music. Maestros like  Baij

We see different colours because there is a variety of wavelengths that make us see different colours. Imagine a world without colours? It will be boring and lifeless. Colours play an important role in our life. It influences our mood and approach. “Most people are unaware of the profound effect colour has on their behaviour,” said Kenneth Fehrman, co-author of the book, Color: The Secret Influence. Many scientific studies have confirmed that colours have a great effect on our body and mind. It is found that colours help us heal. Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy or light therapy, is a holistic style of healing that uses the spectrum of light and colour to change subject’s mood and mental health.
