THE MINDFULNESS TECHNIQUE YOU SHOULD TRY BASED ON YOUR ZODIAC SIGN
Mindfulness is a technique that helps someone learn to be present in the moment and pause. During this time, they can notice their own thoughts and feelings and choose a response that is not based on their present emotions. Psychologists, counselors, and doctors are increasing awareness of this strategy. It also applies and can be used in astrology, astrotherapy, or astro-coaching.
ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19): STAND, STRETCH, OR GET MOVING
Aries are prone to racing forward until they burn out, so scheduling time in the gym for lifting or cardio will help them to feel strong within their bodies and allow them to get out of their heads. If they are noticing a stressful situation taking over them, they can simply stand and stretch to get back into a grounded state.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20): MINDFUL BODY SCAN
Taurus is the zodiac sign that rules the physical world as well as the body. Because of this, Taureans hold a lot of tension physically in their bodies. The best way to assess what you are feeling is to do a mindful body scan. This technique is a meditative practice where one focuses on each part of the body, often beginning at the toes and moving to the head.
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20): MINDFUL LISTENING
Geminis are a zodiac sign prone to active communication and can have difficulty not speaking impulsively. However, mindful listening is an excellent skill that can help within a group mindfulness exercise. Geminis can take the focus off of on themselves or their own response and direct that upon others. This allows them to receive rather always being the driving intellectual force.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22): EAT BREAKFAST MINDFULLY
Cancers are known for their love of food and also their intense emotions. Mindful eating is something this zodiac sign should try out. Not only does it include being mindful of what you are ingesting (such as food choices), it allows you to slow down and appreciate the healthy food you are eating. This allows you to feel grounded as you begin your day.
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22): MINDFUL FACIAL CLEANSE
The feisty Leos are known for their vanity, but this is because they actually don’t feel happy if they aren’t presenting themselves well. This means that they should spend time each morning or night on simple facial spas. This will allow them to unwind and recharge and balance their soul, minds, and bodies.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22): PRACTICE MINDFUL CREATIVITY
As the perfectionist of the zodiac, Virgos can become frustrated if everything isn’t exactly as they want it. In order to preserve their energy, they should pick up a creative hobby that doesn’t have set standards of “perfect.” This will allow them to let loose and embrace expression rather than just logic.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22): NOTICE YOUR THOUGHTS
Libras are prone to anxiety and obsessing over every single detail. This can cause problems in their health. However, by adopting a very simple new habit—observation—this can affect them less. If you separate yourself from your thoughts and notice them with detachment, you remove some of the power that they have over your emotions.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21): USE AROMATHERAPY
Scorpio is one of the zodiac signs that has the most difficulty slowing down and “checking out” when something goes wrong. They like to get their way and are extremely stubborn to back down. However, simple mindful meditation using aromatherapy can help them relax rather than allowing their emotions to cloud their minds.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21): SMILE IN THE MIRROR
Any Sagittarius who doesn’t feel on top of the world will feel a bit deflated because their confidence is very important to them. However, smiling slows down the heart rate and relaxes the body, as well as releases endorphins and hormones that diminish stress. By looking into the mirror and admiring themselves for who they are and bring to the world, they’ll be able to unplug for a moment to refocus.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19): PRACTICE MORNING MEDITATION
Capricorn can be prone to overwork and stressing themselves out because they are always on the hunt to build an empire they are proud of. However, you cannot rule over it all if you do not have a stable foundation within yourself. A 10-minute morning meditation can be the perfect mindfulness technique that you need where you can assess yourself, observe the patterns and habits of your mind, and gain more control over your thoughts.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18): MINDFUL READING
Aquarians are known for their active minds that can never settle down! Taking time to read for pleasure or relaxation will allow them to let their minds soothe rather than stressing on the day-to-day demands.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20): GRATITUDE JOURNALLING
As the zodiac sign most connected to spirituality and meditation, Pisces need to learn to recharge their soul. Sometimes they can feel overwhelmed by their emotions, but a simple way to calm this is to journal daily about the people and things they are grateful for. Then, when feeling intense, they can look upon it and come back down to Earth.
