Fantastic, thank you. Perfect for me because I use yoga to correct an issue with my knees , as well as a spinal curvature which is all covered on this routine. I will try this tonight. I still struggle trying to come up with routines for my specific conditions so I really appreciate this, as it seems to be exactly what I need.

Lydia, years ago, I ordered a career reading from you, and in that career reading you emphasised heavily that my chart was suited extremely well for teaching yoga. In the emails after receiving the career reading I asked you for resources to learn yoga.

However, I never attempted to pursue learning it, I could certainly make a plethora of excuses but in the end the responsibility falls down to me. I have seen a lot of posts lately of yours regarding yoga and I can't help but feel, deep down, that I threw away a responsibility that would have been mine, something that, if I hadn't willingly wasted years of time, I would be doing on this very day.

Honestly, when I saw your series of posts the first thing I felt was regret, because, I know that, this is a result of my own choices, I am at fault for not using the advantages of my astrology, and I am at fault for willingly, and at times, purposely, shirking my responsibilities.

I know that right now I won't be able to help the community with knowledge I gain, but, I still want to learn, even if I'm unable to use it to benefit people now, even if it's too late now, in the future, I know that there will be opportunities.

I know that I can't change the past, the most it is useful for is for learning lessons, as such, I don't regret it anymore, however, while I cannot make up for lost time, or, change the past, I can act in the present to right the wrongs of my past and pave the way to a future I desire.

Also, I know that me not fulfilling my responsibilities didn't force you to do something, I know that you care deeply about the community, and, are doing this out of your own desire, using knowledge you have gathered over time. I just can't help but feel that, if I had taken your advice and the knowledge you so graciously imparted upon me, I would have been doing this and you could have focused on other things. I feel as if I stole that opportunity from you. And if I did, then, I can only do my best in the future in order to make it up to you, apologies are useless after all, action is what matters.

So, here I come, to you, asking you once more, would you give me resources in order to facilitate my learning of yoga once more? I remember you recommended a specific yogi master and also a website, but considering that it's been years, you may have more information.

Thank you ahead of time my Sister, and I will do my best to live up to Zeus and his Gods expectations of me and even exceed them in the future.

how do you guys have time for all this everyday?

Either boost your energies, such as through Sun or Mars squares to give you more productivity, or do workings to gain you more free time. This can be done with Fehu, Gebo, Sowilo, perhaps Jera. Mainly Fehu and Gebo for wealth and positive obligations.

The Jupiter Squares can be done for this similar thing. Spam them to permanently give you more free time to advance. Free time "to advance" means comfortable free time with your needs met, so this interacts with wealth as well. Obviously, you cannot have free time to advance when you are in severe debt or starving, or stressed.

Mars in Scorpio has given me increased energy. I only sleep about 5 hours per night now, with no downsides. You can do a Mars Square now, although time is running out. Mars will enter Capricorn this Jan. 25th, which is another awesome sign for productivity.

The Sun Squares can be done now since the Sun is in the fire sign of Sagitarrius, or wait until next March when it enters Aries.

-------------------

You won't have time to do everything every day, but you should do a little of everything. Some yoga, plus some meditation is better than one or the other. In a similar manner, some empowering and some cleaning is better than just one or the other, except in extreme cases.

If free time is your limit, then you should be spamming workings to change this, as well as planning your life around your advancement. Any time spent advancing will pay off a million fold more than earning Goybucks at your job, which may soon become inflated to shit.

Lydia and you are knowledgeable on health issues, judging by your posts. Off-topic, but I couldn't find a topic about it, so I'm asking Lydia and you here: can you recommend something for endometriosis? She is a 39 year old woman, has had surgery twice, and has a long history of endometriosis (possible that her intestines are also affected by endometriosis). She has been on a hormonal drug called Visanne for a long time, which has reduced the symptoms, but she needs to take it long term.

She is not Zevism and I cannot do any healing work because we rarely see each other and I only started the meditation program a few weeks ago. (I bought her an Algiz rune on a black tourmaline stone.)

What would be the basics of a holistic healing path? If you have time to answer, your reply is appreciated in advance. (I'd like to ask another health question in the thread about cats.)

It's not too late! Also, you can look into online teacher training, there are some really good accredited courses, look online as I don't know them all and there are probably more now with covid lockdowns. Perhaps ask your GD to guide you to the best one for you.

And no, I still would have made these posts even if you had made similar ones, I love yoga. It has transformed me in very positive ways and I would still want to help others learn more about yoga. The more Zevism posts about yoga the better!

I don't know enough about health to answer this (hopefully someone else will, if not Blitz), and if she's not Zevism then her doing health workings isn't really an option. Bjarkan rune in her sacral and programmed to heal her uterus as well as regular health workings, if she were a Zevist though. That's really all I can advise, sorry.

Before getting into a teacher training, at least be a yoga practicioner. I wouldn't want a teacher that has not put many hours into yoga before becoming a teacher.

Is the yoga in your post ( https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=57115&p=253879&hilit=Yoga+solar#p253879 ) enough to continously improve the solar plexus or will the meditation stagnate at some point? ( should I ignore the stagnation and push through. Or do the yoga from the money spells)
My chart says I'll receive financial security at a later age so I'm trying to improve myself now by boosting money spells with solar plexus yoga, now with 1 day yoga break.

I'm trying to 'aim for the stars' :(
What do you advice? Thanks.

Haha, thank you Lydia :) I was planning on doing a form ritual sometime this week, and, I'll be sure to include asking for guidance. I'm glad that I didn't "take away your opportunity" or whatever.

Hopefully in a year or two you'll see some pretty badass yoga posts by me. Or, however long it takes for me to learn where I am sufficient to teach :D

I appreciate you so much. I still look back on your career reading from time to time! And, guess who's writing a book which happens to be one of the options in my reading? I am, and this book is gonna help a LOT of people, I can already tell. I hope to finish it by the end of this year :D

Thank so much for your time and response lydia, and I hope you have a wonderful day <3

Thank you for your reply! Can the 40-day meditation program (47 days with the addition of opening the sixth chakra) be done by someone who is not Zevism? Or would it not be safe?

I would like to ask something. In an older post of you Lydia, (another one about yoga! :D ) you had mentioned how it's best to focus on each chakra that corresponds to the asanas we perform.

So, for Hatha Yoga.. Let's say the basic one that's in the "Hatha Yoga for Zevists" pdf.. (this one: https://mega.nz/file/mO5WxTII#3D0myiIFW2l48iyfM4rpaIChU-g9hlHIM5WrK75DJfg )
How can we know which pose corresponds to which chakra? :P
Do we have to search for each pose separately?

In our forums I had found this one: https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?p=97721#p97721
Is this valid?

So basically:
1st asanas: Solar [Seated Forward Bend ]
2nd asanas: Sacral [Butterfly, Diamond]
3rd: Base [Straddle Stretch]
4th: Sacral [Cobra Stretch ]
5th: ? [The Locust]
6th: Solar [The Bow]
7th: Heart [Twist]
8th: ? [Shoulder/Triceps Stretch]
9th: ? [Chest Stretch]
10th: ? [The Side Stretch]
11th: Crown [Tripod, Headstand, OR Handstand]
12th: 6th [Child's Pose]
13th: Throat [The Shoulderstand]
14th: ? [The Plough]
15th: Throat [The Fish - which always kills my back by the way :( ]

Is that valid?

It can be unsafe, yes, sicne non-Zevists have no protection from enemy beings

The seated forward bend aka seated pike is hip-opening exercises. It relates to the root chakra (mainly) and to the sacral chakra (secondarily). No connection to the solar plexus, which deals more with core exercises specifically related to the lumbar area.

The same goes for any exercise that opens the hip.

If you see Lydia's previous posts, she put the cobra/seal pose for the solar plexus chakra routine. A chest stretch will obviously be for your chest/middle chakra. The fish doesn't deal with the throat either. It is a core exercise. One of the most basic position to master as a beginner. The locust is another such position.

Without going through too many things on your list, you can understand what this positions work on by focusing on the the exercise and seeing which chakra is stimulated the most. This, however, can lead to imprecision if you are not used to feel the flow of energy, as sometimes you would feel more stimulation in another chakra since because you unblocked the pathway more. Another, more precise method is to think of what part of the body is the stretch working on, and what chakra rules that body part.

Arms, hands and shoulders are obviously the middle chakra, together with the thoracic spine and your chest. The thoracic/dorsal spine is obviously part of the core contrary to what most people think, but that specific area is ruled by the middle chakra just like the cervical vertebrae are ruled by the throat, the lumbar by the solar plexus like most of the core, the sacrum by the sacral, the coccyx by the root. The legs, feet and hips are obviously ruled the root chakra. The only exceptions, when it comes to limbs, is when this are used as a support, rather than being the focus of the stretch. Intersections like hips, shoulders and temples are obviously special as they are primarily ruled by the related main chakra, and secondarily by the chakra above it.

I am sure you can understand the rulerships on the list on your own now ;) and be a more aware participant of this middle-aged women club :lol:

Thank you a lot for your explanation, it really cleared things up for me! :)
For starters I will try to see where I feel the most energy as well, and then accordingly focus on the chakras I need to.

If there's no privacy is non verbal mantra effective. Or are verbal mantras superior?

Is there really a pose by the name Chakasranka?

I tried looking for it online, but couldn't find anything at all. There's no images or links that show up on Google search or DuckDuckGo by that name (no images at all in fact).

It tries to autocorrect to Chakrasana instead when searching for it.
