Day 1 - Mercury or Throat Chakra

Daily Reflection
This week we will be discussing 5 of the Chakras and the goal of each Chakra. Each chakra has a message for our learning.

Today's reflection will be centered on the Mercury or Throat Chakra. The Mercury Chakra traditionally relates to the throat and our ability to find and sing our life song. It is here that aham bramasmi comes into play. Aham bramasmi means "I am the creative principle" or the artist of my life. Here we are called upon to create our lives in a way that manifests our destiny. Carolyn Myss talks about this throat chakra as being the place where we surrender to God's will for us or put another way that we let go and do what comes the most naturally to us. We use our talents and skills to create that which we are supposed to do in this lifetime.

In your journal today reflect and write about your destiny or purpose. Do you have a sense that your life has a purpose? What are your specific talents and skills? Do you need to find more time to reflect on the specific destiny laid out for your life? Are you living your purpose?

One good asana to help balance the Mercury Chakra is shoulder stand. Try to work this asana into your practice today.
