Meditation Tips
Although this may sound ridiculous, the planet Jupiter actually affects your thyroid gland. When you take a moment to consider things, you’ll find that the moon has a significant effect on the earth and the people who live there. It controls our ocean’s tides and the monthly cycles of people all over the planet. When considering how much the moon’s vibrations affect earth, it’s not difficult to imagine how greatly we are affected by other planets, many of which are significantly larger. During times when Jupiter is aligned with the earth in a magnetically positive position, practicing specialized breathing workouts is highly recommended in order to reduce or even eliminate asthma attacks. Other important factors are the time during the day and week. Noon is the optimal time of day to exercise, meditate and massage your 7th dorsal (for those who suffer from asthma, of course). This may not seem to correlate with advice to avoid warm or hot weather. The reason for this is that the high light density is best at this time, particularly in weather that is overcast with low humidity. This is ideally a day on which the week is drawing to a close and hopefully welcoming a peaceful weekend with likewise calm emotions.
Similarly, the moon phase is also best at a time when it’s drawing to a close (also known as the “waning” phase). When you meditate, position yourself so that you are facing the West, or lay down on a mat (assuming you’re outdoors in fair conditions) with the top of your head pointed Westward. Blue is the most significant color that you will want to envision around you while you are meditating.
Blue is also an excellent color to use throughout your house and other surroundings as much as you can. This color stands for all things Serene – it evokes a soothing and calm atmosphere that will help you to cope with your asthma, both physically and emotionally. The crystallite that coincides with healing asthma is blue quartz. The corresponding stone and metal are basalt and azurite. These elements give off vibrations that compliment and harmonize with the color blue and the feelings it represents, in order to promote healing. Keeping these items in key locations such as in pockets or on your body as jewelry, is highly recommended. Certain American Indian tribes traditionally sip (not drink) distilled solarized-water from a clear, clean blue bowl. Collecting rain water using a clear, cobalt-colored bowl is advised. Distill this water when possible, or boil it at the very least. Distilled water that is purchased in a store will work, for times when there is less rain. After you’ve obtained the water, let it sit undisturbed in the direct sunlight from morning to sundown on a bright day. This will solarize the water for a total of 18 hours. Solarized water should only be sipped, rather than drank. This type of water is a powerful healing agent for asthma.
