Section: Mantra for Sagittarius Aum hrīṁ Nityānandāya namaḥ (Om Hreem Nithyanandaya Namaha) In this mantra, Aum is the primordial sound and is the representation of Śiva’s energy, the male aspect of the universe. Actually, Aum is the cosmic sound that pervades the grahas, their movements and their effects on us. The Bīja mantra (seed sound), Hrīṁ, has no linguistic meaning but encloses a powerful vibration which attunes you to the primordial energy from which the grahas originate: the female energy, Śakti. Nithyananda means Eternal Bliss and invokes the truth which is our true nature, and the nature of our own intelligence. It is the pūrṇa mūla mantra (the complete mantra) because it represents a straight path to both Śakti (success in this world) and to Śiva (success in the cosmic world) which is ‘enlightenment’. Section: Moon in Sagittarius Namaha means 'I surrender' my ego to Existence, to the Master. Thus this sacred mantra awakens the completeness and fulfillment inside us and balances the male and female energies which exist inside every one of us. The repetition of this mantra is a powerful technique which can be performed throughout the day as you go about your daily routine. It can also be uttered aloud 108 times every morning. The number 108, which is a multiple of 9, has been sacred since time immemorial. That is because the number 9 is the limit of all numbers: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of numbers. Therefore, 108 symbolizes and connects you to infinity. Its beautiful sound should be pronounced clearly and as loudly as possible and from the navel region. Eventually, this mantra will replace your inner chatter and create silence in your mind. Your whole being integrates itself towards enlightenment which leads you out of the dynamic of karma and planetary effects. Section: Five Techniques for a Sagittarius Mind Be aware! If there is no bliss in your life, it means you are fast asleep. Don't make any direct effort to become blissful: nobody can succeed in that because bliss is a by-product. You cannot achieve bliss directly. You have to go via awareness. If you feel you are miserable, that simply shows one thing: it is an indication that you are unaware. So become more aware, become more meditative. As meditation deepens, misery disperses and the same energy that becomes misery becomes bliss. All that is needed is the process of awareness; it transforms energy by its nature itself. Section: Dive into faith Time is up to break some of your limitations.
