Happy Full Moon in Cancer (Pushya Nakshatra), trining Jupiter. An auspicious moon, this is a good time for nurturing, and balancing of emotions.
"As we perfect asana, we will come to understand the true nature of our embodiment, of our being, and the divinity that animates us. And when we are free from physical disabilities, emotional disturbances, and mental distractions, we open the gates to our soul (atma). To understand this, one must gain far more than technical proficiency, and one must do asana not merely as a physical exercise but as a means to understand and then integrate our body with our breath, with our mind, with our intelligence, with our consciousness, with our conscience, and with our core. In this way, one can experience true integration and reach the ultimate freedom."
