Fri 2 Jan 🌔 Mind your mind first

🌔 Waxing Crescent Moon • 2 January 2026

Before you untangle your hair, untangle your mind.

This blue bottle promises "10 real benefits" with one spray. Your meditation practice? It offers infinite benefits with one breath. But unlike this product that works from the outside in, we work from the inside out.

🏺Ἀπάθεια (apatheia) - the Stoic freedom from disturbing passions - doesn't come in a bottle.

🪷विवेक (viveka) - the yogic discernment between real and unreal - can't be sprayed on.

Yet both require the same first step: detangling the knots we've created in our own consciousness.

🌔The waxing crescent moon is expanding tonight, just like your capacity for clarity when you sit with the tangles instead of running from them. Growth isn't about perfection. It's about showing up to the mat, the cushion, the present moment - even when your mind looks like hair after a windstorm.

🎭 The Full Moon Games begin soon.

The moon has been playing alone, waiting. Not a single soul has joined yet. She's patient - she's been doing this for billions of years. But the question is: will you be there when she's full?

Imperfect meditation, proudly.

La StΩa

🪞 Reflection: What knot in your mind needs detangling today? Not tomorrow. Not when conditions are perfect. Today.
