Creating Balance in Your Life
Libra (September 22-October 22)
Learn to live harmoniously and in a state of equilibrium
Libra is a cardinal, air sign, ruled by Venus. Its symbol is the weighing scales. The Sanskrit name for the sign of Libra was Tula, the Balance. Libra was known as the Astrological Lady of the Scales, and she represented the balancing process of Karmic Law. The endocrine system, which maintains the body in a balanced state, is assigned to Libra. Libran colours are blues and pinks. Its metal is copper. Key words are harmoniously and unitedly.
Libra, like yoga, helps us to balance pairs of opposites, such as: Sun and Moon; light and dark; masculine and feminine; passive and active; pushing and yielding; order and chaos. This reconciling of pairs of opposites creates balance and healing. Libra encourages us to ask the question: how do we create balance in our yoga practice and in our life?
The Libra-inspired yoga practice in the Yoga by the Stars book balances and realigns the body and mind, both physically and energetically. It is calming and quietly energising, and has a centring effect. It soothes a restless mind, restoring balance and equanimity. The heart centre chakra is gently opened, helping us to develop a sense of love and compassion for our self and others.
Libra is the fulcrum balancing the material and spiritual world; reminding us that what is considered ‘lower’ supports that which is above, and that the two worlds are united by love. Our yoga practice opens us to the wisdom of the heart, so that we can live harmoniously. The heart is the fulcrum that creates balance in our life. When we live from the heart heaven and earth hold us in a state of equilibrium.
