Number of the month: 9
September carries the number 9, the Subtle Body, in coherence with Pluto. This is the body of subtlety, calmness, and mastery — the ability to read what lies beneath the surface and to complete what you have started. Pluto brings deep transformation.
In its shadow, it can be naïve, restless, or impatient, missing what is really happening underneath. In its strength, it moves with grace, sees the whole picture, and brings things to completion. Use September to finish what is unfinished and to act from inner calm.
Focus for September: Complete with grace.
Universal Breath practice for the 9th Body — September:
Subtle Body Mudra: raise both hands to shoulder height, near the root of the nose, palms facing away from the body, fingers relaxed and slightly spread — as if taking a vow. This position activates the Subtle Body, Pluto’s domain of deep perception, calmness, and mastery.
Position: Hands near the shoulders and the root of the nose, palms facing away, fingers slightly spread.
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 September.
Sit comfortably with a tall spine. Begin the Universal Breath and continue for 11 minutes. Repeat the Universal Breath throughout the day when you feel restless, naïve, or want to access your inner calmness and grace.
