Five Techniques for a Virgo Mind🔗

There is in you a natural urge to do something, to flood your energy into some activity, to work on one project or another. You are like a pool. Whenever water flows through, you remain a vibrant source of life for yourself and others, but when it stagnates, you become depressed. Don't do things casually. Anything half done leaves an engraved memory in you. Anything not lived fully leaves an imprint or samskara in your being, which time and again pulls you, attracts you to travel the same path and to fulfill it. Focus on being complete in what you do.

Existence is calling you to its bigger meaning. Never think life has nothing else to offer than what you perceive with your eyes, because life cannot be reduced to a simple material manifestation. When you conceive life as just matter, you can never meet God. It will be difficult to come to terms with any meaning in your life. Meaning can only be found in the invisible, and it is scary to the mind. It tends to think whatever it cannot see is not under its control. Observe how its tendency is to focus on outward things: money, comforts, relationships and misses the greater purpose of existence that is to be found in the inner world.

Very often, our inner chatter does not allow us to be confident about what we achieve. Many times, we realize great things, but are not able to enjoy why we realized it. It is like preparing a delicious meal with much meticulousness and not allowing oneself to partake of it! Low self-esteem will never allow you to assess your work objectively. It can only precipitate you in a depression that won’t let you work correctly! Enjoying the fruits of your work is a sure guardian of your confidence and inspiration to grow in your field of activity, in your responsibilities and energy too!

You often feel: ‘Every time I think I want to do something, the complete opposite happens.’ It will happen… it is your doing. Allow things to happen their own way and move with them. Don’t bring your will and ego into it. Only once you drop your ego and merge with the whole, will what you want to happen really happen. It will not happen till you stop waiting. This is the whole dilemma: if you go on waiting, your very want will create a situation in which it is not going to happen. Better learn to do things without expecting results, leaving yourself open to the Master’s grace in your life. Often, you ignore how much your ‘desired results’ would have damaged your life if they had happened! Be ever grateful, what life brings you is what you need.

Express your love, sense of humor and wisdom towards your community! You are a joyful communicator whose trust that life is good makes you expand the responsibilities you take up. When that expansion happens, just hold on and have patience during the transformation. This patience during the process is what is called tapas or penance. Why don’t we allow big breakthroughs in our life? Because we don’t trust life to lead us into a new space. Have trust and patience. When you take more responsibility, you just expand and more energy starts expressing through you. When you feel responsible for whatever is happening around you, you suddenly become a leader and transform your life and others’ lives. Responsibility is a way to consciously grow.

Budha (Mercury god) as represented in Tiruvannamalai Ashram (India). Around Mercury stand the other 8 Navagraha deities (deities associated with the nine planets), along with their Navagraha trees (trees associated with the nine planets), to bless all with abundance. The circle of deities is placed around the main deities of the temple, Sri Anandeshwara and Anandeshwari; located near a powerful energy field of 1008 Śiva lingas radiating Śiva's cosmic energy in an extremely auspicious atmosphere.
