C: Communication Issues

Waaaa! I had a dream last month that this month I would have a mouth full of cotton and spider webs. Well, that part is not coming true but my communication from my brain to my email seems to not be on the same page. :( Communication is such an important part of who we are. We never want to offend but we want to get our point across. Long gone are the days of picking up the phone just to say hello...we are filled with LOL, Ha!, and OMG-s. This month is already off to a rough start when it comes to my communication so I am practicing the art of listening more than speaking (emailing). It will be a challenge but it is needed because the moon and stars are not aligned in my normal Gemini-communication style.

What are your challenges this month? How can yoga/mantras/meditation help you? Take the challenge to look inward.

The Mantra

"Yaa Kundendu Tushaara Haaradhavalaa, Yaa Shubhravastraavritha

Yaa Veenavara Dandamanditakara, Yaa Shwetha Padmaasana

Yaa Brahmaachyutha Shankara Prabhritibhir Devaisadaa Vanditha

Saa Maam Paatu Saraswati Bhagavatee Nihshesha Jaadyaapaha"

Meaning

May Goddess Saraswati, who is fair and beautiful like the jasmine-colored moon and whose pure white garland resembles frosty dew drops; who is adorned in radiant white attire, on whose arm rests the veena, and whose throne is a white lotus; who is surrounded and respected by the Gods, Protect me. May you remove my lethargy and brighten my life with the light of knowledge."
