Exalted in Earthy Taurus, the Moon here offers the best possible place to remain constant and steady. A fertile Moon in Taurus keeps one planted on the ground in a very practical and sustainable manner, hence Taurean Buddha reaching enlightenment whilst sitting in ‘Earth Touching’ mudra also called Bhumispara or Prithvimudra. Meditating this position calms the heartmind, connects to earth, promotes healing, and activates shakti power within the root chakra – all of which enhances our capacity to value and nourish ourselves and others with loving kindness.
