Number of the month: 3
March carries the number 3, the Positive Mind, in coherence with the Moon. As the season turns toward spring, this month opens the mind to optimism, expansion, and possibility. The Positive Mind sees the opportunity inside every event and moves toward it with joy.
In its shadow, it becomes scattered, naïve, or over-committed — saying yes to everything and finishing little. In its strength, it is generous, playful, and resourceful. Use March to choose the possibility in front of you and give it your full, joyful attention.
Focus for March: See what is possible.
Universal Breath practice for the 3rd Body — March:
Chander Mudra — Open · Meet · Seal
Chander Mudra seals in the energy of the Moon and develops the positive, projective quality of the mind. Regular practice transforms doubt and negativity into a natural state of optimism, equality, and elevated awareness — begin with hands open, bring the fingertips together, and seal the grip: Open, Meet, Seal.
Position: At the navel point, thumbs pointing away from the navel.
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 March.
Sit comfortably with a tall spine. Bring the hands into Chander Mudra at the navel point. Begin the Universal Breath and continue for 11 minutes. Repeat throughout the day when issues arise around the 3rd chakra and you want a deeper emotional relationship to your Infinite Self.
