Drawing Down The Stars

In this episode we dive in

to the constellation Aquarii, how this star became known as the Luckiest of Lucky, and the Bringer of Storms. We’ll uncover the nature, its spiritual influences through both myth and symbols and finally, the herb and plants that facilitate and embody Aquarii.

We journey through history, myth, and symbols to connect to the air and watery nature of this blessed and turbulent constellation.

Happy New Year! This Aquarian year will work through unification, and disassociation of old frameworks. Karmic rectification is underway, and a restructuring into major changes of our world and to elevate spiritualized self - the shake up & unification occurs within 12 short months, but is apart of Saturn’s 2.5 year transformational adjustment. This episode focuses more on the spiritual aspects of the planetary forces and what is occurring for the year. We dive into Kamaloka-Planes of the Astral Body, how the mind will reincarnate, expansion of higher mental faculties, how to work with it, and sealing it all off with an excerpt from Plotinus.

Plotinus excerpt: The Enneads, Porphyrian Books 34 - 45

“Perhaps, instead of saying that the one is the cause of the other things, we would have to admit that these things are as parts and elements of the one; and that all things form a single nature in which only our thought establishes divisions; so that, by virtue of its admirable power, this nature be unity distributed in all things, appearing and becoming manifold, as if it were in movement, and that the one should cease being unity as a result of the fruitlessness of its nature. If we were to enumerate successively the parts of such a nature, we would grant to each of them a separate existence, ignoring that we had not seen the whole together. But after thus having separated the parts, we would soon reapproximate them, not for long being able to keep apart the isolated elements which tend to reunite. That is why we could not help making a whole out of them, letting them once more become unity, or rather, be unity. Besides, this will be easier to understand when we shall know what these essences are, and how many are the genera of essences; for we shall then be able to conceive their mode of existence. And as, in these mattes, it is not well to limit oneself to negotiations, but to aim at positive knowledge, and at the full intelligence of the subject here treated, we shall have to make this inquiry.”

In this episode we begin our journey into Swara Yoga diving into the how the phases of the moon effect the brain hemispheres and nervous system. The purpose of Swara yoga to elevate the individual into higher consciousness and a unified understanding of the universal prana (cosmic energy). And what is swara yoga and its aim beyond brain hemispheres and nostril dominance governed by the moon. Note: this is a lunar day, and doesn’t line up exactly to the duration of a solar day.

Note: Some lunar months are 29 days while others are 30, it is due to the synodic system, in which it takes 29.53 days for the Sun and Moon to reunite at the same position against the stars. A lunar day is considered the time it takes from the moon to transit 12 degrees from the sun.

In this bonus episode we dive into the transformative qualities of the moon’s position. The elemental archetypes, and Jupiter’s influence in working old karma’s and impressions into new intellect. Communication moves further into focus and will aspect every level of the mental to physical planes.
