This Moon is an ideal time to reflect for a moment on where we have come from in order to decide where we truly want to go. So here’s the ego eradicator yogic exercise to help you get clear & do just that, so you can come from a place of truth not egoic personality:

Posture Description: Sit in easy pose with the spine straight. Pull the chin in slightly to apply light neck lock. Bring the arms up at a sixty degree angle with the floor, keeping the elbows completely straight.

Mudra: Curl the fingers in towards the pads at the top of the palms; extend the thumbs – like a yogic thumbs up sign, to ‘plug you in’ to the universe.
