Number of the month: 2
February carries the number 2, the Negative Mind, in coherence with Venus. This month asks for discernment — the protective intelligence that sees what could go wrong and chooses wisely. Venus brings the themes of love, relationship, and longing into focus.
In its shadow, the Negative Mind turns toward worry, over-caution, and attachment. In its strength, it gives clean boundaries and the clarity to say no, so you can say a full yes to what truly serves you. Let February sharpen your discernment and contain your love in a healthy way.
Focus for February: Discern with love.
Universal Breath practice for the 2nd Body — February:
Venus Lock: masters the balance between the energies of Venus and Mars — the feminine energy of love and harmony, and the masculine energy of passionate impulse and action. Held in the lap, it grounds and balances the protective mind, transforming karmic patterns of too much or too little love and passion into a new, permanent habit of self-containment.
Position: In the lap, at the 2nd chakra level.
Breath: Universal Breath — 8 strokes IN through puckered lips · 8 strokes OUT through the nose
Mantra: Sa — Ta — Na — Ma — Wha — He’ — Gu — Ru (one syllable per stroke, silent)
Duration: 11 minutes daily throughout February.
Sit comfortably with a tall spine. Rest hands in Venus Lock at the 2nd chakra level, relaxed in the lap. Begin the Universal Breath and continue for 11 minutes. Balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Repeat throughout the day when issues arise around the 2nd chakra and you want a deeper connection to your Infinite Self.
