Calm Your Restless Mind
Virgo Daily Horoscope

Your mind may be overloaded with conflicting thoughts and decisions today, which may make you feel restless both mentally and physically. Thinking about too many things at one time might be due to your feeling overwhelmed by the choices available to you and the difficulty you have in settling on one idea. Bringing your mind back to one point of focus could help you ease some of the agitation you feel and make it easier for you to concentrate. Should you feel fidgety today, you can repeat a mantra for several minutes in order to give your mind something tangible to hold onto. You might create your own mantra, or you could use something such as the universal Sanskrit sound, "Om." As you repeat your sound, allow yourself to feel the vibration of the words move throughout your body. By concentrating on these sounds and feelings, you may notice that your mind and body become calmer.

Mantras are powerful tools we can use to quiet the mind and gain a sense of peaceful well-being. It is natural for our minds to hop from thought to thought as if it were a monkey jumping from tree to tree. Having something specific and repetitious to focus on, such as a word or phrase, however, helps us tame our "monkey minds." Once you calm your mind today, your body and emotions will settle down into a state of relaxation, making it much easier to carry out the decisions you need to make in your life.

Being Here Now
by Ram Dass

Being Here Now is experiential and it takes practice. It's about being rather than doing. When you are in the moment, truly in the moment, this is it, it's all there is. Time slows down. You can enter a flow of love with a quiet mind, simply being present. You flow from one activity to the next, moment to moment, being with one person, then with another, just Being Here Now. Ram Dass literally wrote the book on Being Here Now. In 1970 BE HERE NOW was published and soon became a cultural icon that inspired a generation to look within. His ideas continue to reverberate and over the years he has taught and lectured and meditated with countless students and seekers. Nearing 80, he is still Being Here Now, even more in the heart, with a new book, BE LOVE NOW. In honor of the 40th anniversary of BE HERE NOW, this course distills Ram Dass' four decades of teaching. The Practice of Being Here Now will transform your vantage point and make your life richer, more fulfilling and more p! eaceful. Being Here Now will help you get in touch with your Soul and be a wiser more compassionate human being. That's the joy of Being Here Now.
