Element: Lithium
Chakra: Ankles
Sign: Capricorn
Mantra: I Use Lithium. I Use my lightness to sustain the heavy.
Activation: Gently rotate the ankles, feeling the direction of each step.
Baby: We have big plans today, don’t we Momma?
Mother: Yes we do! Tonight is Shivaratri, the Great Night of Shia. I usually plan many special activities for this night.
Baby: Usually? Are you not going to do as much tonight as you usually do?
Mother: Since you blessed us all by coming into my life, I have to adjust my responsibilities. Your schedule is unpredictable now, and I need to be flexible.
Just like the Capricorn qualities of Lithium.
Baby: What are those?
Mother: Lithium is one of the lightest elements, yet it participates in powerful reactions. It bends, adapts, and responds quickly to its environment.
Capricorn represents responsibility, and stability.
So the alchemy of this would be to stay light on our feet so that we can remain able to react appropriately to the changing circumstances.
Baby: I’m sorry that so much has changed for you.
Mother: I’m so grateful that it has! I’m learning to be efficient in new situations. To not lose who I am in midst of so much change.
Baby: So what will we do tonight?
Mother: We will perform a puja to Shiva together. Your first one! And throughout the night I will continue to offer the different aspects of our consciousness to the infinite goodness.
Baby: That sounds like a lot.
Mother: It will be as much as we can manage without spilling over our boundaries of stability.
Baby: I’m excited!
Mother: Let’s go!
