Daily Dose - Oct 23, 2013 - Woden'sDay/Mercury/Thoth - Mercury Retro, Scorpio, Tantra & Tao.

Hey ah! How's every body's Mercury Retrograde been so far? It's only been three days, but it feels like it's been much longer to me. That might have something to do with the fact that it's retrograde in Scorpio, and My Sun sign and ascendant is Scorpio AND both Mercury and Pluto are in Scorpio in my natal chart. Yea.

Anyway, it's definitely been deep and I enjoy that (^ as you may be able to tell). I've also been in a creative current for a bit, and I am happy to say that all is good and well :). Here's your Dose ;).




  • If it's not spontaneous it's not Spirit.
  • All you need to do is breathe easily. The breath will bring awareness to your actions. From here, all that remains is to enjoy. The breath itself focuses, it is Brahma giving us life every moment. We are uneasy only when we resist. Simply allow the breath to come and go. The next step is to enjoy it, and appreciate it. Like this, there will be joy and gratitude in all that you do and there is no resistance at all, there is only enjoyment. The Pranic river of being can flow into you and your life unrestricted and free. This is Yoga. This is Zen. This is Tantra. This is Tao.
  • If you want to be fulfilled and productive drop anything you "should" do. Then, just do.



"When a superior man hears of the Tao,
he immediately begins to embody it.
When an average man hears of the Tao,
he half believes it, half doubts it.
When a foolish man hears of the Tao,
he laughs out loud.
If he didn't laugh,
it wouldn't be the Tao.

Thus it is said:
The path into light seems dark,
the path forward seems to go back,
the direct path seems long,
true power seems weak,
true purity seems tarnished,
true steadfastness seems changeable,
true clarity seems obcsure,
the greatest art seems unsophisticated,
the greatest love seems indifferent,
the greatest wisdom seems childish.

The Tao is nowhere to be found.
Yet it nourishes and completes all things."

- 41, Tao Te Ching, Translated by Stephen Mitchell
