With our day’s filled with marking off our to-do’s and chasing our tails – life can be overwhelming!
We know about self-care – taking time out to prioritize ourselves with long bubble baths, relaxation sessions, luxurious face masks – but did you know there are daily self-care steps you can take based on ancient wisdom?
The body and mind are interconnected, and as Vedic astrology reveals, our mind-body complex is intrinsically linked to the universe on a macro level. By consistently practicing self-care and aligning with the cosmic rhythms, we can foster a positive relationship with ourselves, ultimately promoting a sense of balance and harmony in our lives.
Here are 5 easy-to-implement tips that will help you incorporate self-care into your everyday routine effectively:
1. Honor the Aditya Connected to Where Your Sun is Placed
Vedic astrology offers insights into the connection between the zodiac signs and our overall well-being. By engaging in rituals that honor the Aditya associated with our Sun sign, we can tap into the divine energies that promote energy, vitality, and balance in our lives.
Each sign in the zodiac has an Aditya, one of 12 divine beings, that are each a different expression of Lord Vishnu (The Maintainer) in the form of the Sun God, and the giver of all material things. Honoring the Aditya connected to the sign where your Sun is placed is a way to improve your well-being, as the Sun is an important indicator of good health and vitality.
The align27 app will give you a specific mantra to chant based on the Aditya connected to your Vedic Sun sign, which the app calculates for you. It will also explain when is the best time for you to chant it for maximum benefit.
2. Use the Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs have the power to shape our reality. By focusing on positive thoughts and emotions, we can attract positive experiences into our lives, including good health and wellbeing. Here’s how to do it:
1. Set clear intentions: Define your wellness goals and visualize yourself achieving them. Reinforce your intentions with present-tense statements like “I am healthy” or “My body is strong.” This is particularly powerful when the body and mind are in a state of deep rest. You can do the Vedic Body Scan, guided by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, which introduces positive intention setting during a guided lying-down relaxation. It is available on the Sattva app.
2. The Law of Attraction Pouch is designed to help the Law of Attraction bring good health to you – why not treat yourself and check out how it works for you!
3. Visualize: Regularly imagine yourself in perfect health, engaging in activities that reflect your desired well-being.
4. Cultivate Gratitude: Appreciate your current health and well-being, and any improvements, no matter how small. Work on replacing negative thoughts or beliefs with positive affirmations and visualizations. A meditation practice can help you to develop the ability to observe your own thoughts and filter out those which aren’t serving you.
5. Take inspired action: Actively work towards improving your health while maintaining a positive mindset. Eat the foods that you know are healthy and nourishing for your body, and keep a healthy exercise routine, even if it’s simply going on a daily walk for 20-30 minutes.
By embracing these ancient practices, you are not only connecting with the wisdom of our ancestors but also fostering a deeper sense of self-awareness and inner peace. So, take a moment each day to pause, reflect, and engage in these sacred rituals as a means to cultivate well-being in your life.
3. Wise Up
Incorporating wisdom into your daily self-care routine can have a profound impact on your overall well-being. By starting each day with uplifting and motivating thoughts, we can set a positive tone for the day ahead and empower ourselves to overcome any limitations our minds may impose on us. This practice not only readies us for the day but also helps us cultivate a mindset that is more resilient and adaptable in the face of life’s challenges.
One way to integrate wisdom into your morning routine is by reading or listening to inspiring quotes or passages from spiritual texts. Check out the wisdom blog from spiritual leader, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shakar. You can also practice journaling to reflect on the insights gained and set intentions for the day. By consistently dedicating time to nurturing your mind with wisdom, you can foster a greater sense of self-awareness, inner strength, and personal growth.
4. Journey with the Moon
According to Vedic astrology, the Moon represents and influences our minds and emotions, making it essential to incorporate its energy into our self-care practices. By keeping an eye on the phases of the Moon, we can better understand and navigate our emotional landscape,
One important aspect of the Moon’s cycle is Chandrashtama, a period when the Moon is transiting through the eighth house from our natal Moon sign. During this time, we may feel more unsettled or emotionally vulnerable. The align27 app offers guidance and rituals to help you navigate these lunar phases, including Chandrashtama, Full Moon and New Moon.
Practices such as Moon Bathing, meditation, and setting intentions during the Full Moon and New Moon phases can help you align with the Moon’s energy. These practices enable us to release what no longer serves us and invite new opportunities for growth and self-discovery. By incorporating the Moon’s wisdom into our self-care routine, we can create a more harmonious and balanced life, better equipped to navigate the ebbs and flows of our emotions.
Stay tuned in to the Moon’s journey with the align27 app.
