Why You Should Meditate Based On Your Date Of Birth

I was talking to a client of mine last week, who has a very active personality, which completely corresponds to her software” as per her date of birth, about the importance of meditation – quieting and calming down the “monkey mind”.

Most of us live a much more “yang” lifestyle with a predominantly activated sympathetic nervous system, responsible for triggering the fight-or-flight response, and not enough “yin” energy, which helps calm our system through the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for our rest and digestion. No wonder our minds are practically in a constant active mode, not letting us sleep peacefully at night (and let’s be honest – doomscrolling, the economy, political instability, and occasional wars setting off here and there don’t help either).

In my workshop on numerical psychology, podcast, Instagram stories, and blog posts, I keep talking and writing about the absolute importance of raising our Kundalini energy.

There are a few ways of doing it:
  1. Physical activity, mostly walking, jumping, swimming, horse-riding
  2. Yoga / meditation / breathwork / spiritual practices
  3. Mindful intimacy (a topic for another day, but until then, feel free to check out this half-joking post).

Over the years of building inKin Wellnes Platform, I have been advocating for walking and logging those 10K steps a lot, and a couple of months ago, I even explained why each of us needs to walk based on our date of birth as an anti-crisis remedy in this post.

But that conversation with my client made me wonder why I rarely propagate the importance of meditation, and the answer is that I struggle with it myself! I am not talking about listening to one of my Solomon Seals, Consciousness numbers, Stress release, or any other so-called guided meditations available on my website, because even though we call them meditations for marketing purposes, they are really energy practices you could even fall asleep to.

I am talking about sitting in the easy pose, closing your eyes, and reaching a complete emptiness and a right-here, right-now moment to stop leaking energy through thoughts, emotions, ego reactions, fear, resentment, control, overthinking, or the need to prove something, even if it’s just for 3 minutes a day (and come on, guys, let’s quit looking for lame excuses – most of your favourite songs last less than that, so you can absolutely find 3 min to dedicate to yourself).

Here are some tricks that I use to help me stay focused during the meditation practice, meaning not letting my crazy monkey brain wander somewhere, and yes, sometimes it takes not just one, not just two, but three attempts:
  1. Use Pranayama – box breathing, alternate nostril breathing, ladder breathing
  2. Visualize a very peaceful and quiet environment – some of my favourites are:
  • floating in the sky (if you have ever tried sky diving, you know what I am talking about)
  • sitting on a bench in a park
  • lying on a fluffy white cloud, and drifting in the sky
  • sitting in the mountainous landscape, listening to the birds and water
  • sitting by the sea or ocean, listening to the waves
If you struggle with visualization, put on restorative, meditative music to help you focus on the sounds, or practice Trataka meditation (candle gazing).

3. Yin yoga – because each asana is held for at least 3 minutes, you have nothing else to do than to focus on your breathing, sending oxygen to the muscles, tendons, joints, fascia, and organs to help release the tension and activate your parasympathetic nervous system. More on the benefits of Yin yoga here.

In Numerical Psychology, we say that ultimately, our task is to reach positive inner silence — the state where the mind stops running the show and consciousness begins to expand.

And because your date of birth carries specific energies, meditation can support you differently depending on your Consciousness Number and your Mission Number.

Below, I give the reasons why each of us should meditate, based on our date of birth = “software” we are born with, and the intention we should set for practicing.

First, calculate your numbers:
Consciousness Number = your day of birth reduced to 1–9.
Example: 28 → 2 + 8 = 10 → 1.
Mission Number = your full date of birth reduced to 1–9.
Example: 28.04.1987 → 2+8+0+4+1+9+8+7 = 39 → 3+9 = 12 → 1+2 = 3.


Meditate According to Your Consciousness Number

#1 — Born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th
Meditate to soften the ego and remember service.
#1 often carries strong leadership energy, but meditation helps shift from “I decide” to “How can I help others rise?”

#2 — Born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th
Meditate to build inner confidence and stop absorbing other people’s pressure.
#2 can fall into doubt, emotional dependence, or fear of making the wrong decision. Meditation strengthens inner authority.

#3 — Born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th
Meditate to quiet the overactive mind.
#3 can get stuck in analysis, judgment, or “I know better.” Meditation helps replace mental superiority with understanding.

#4 — Born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st
Meditate to release dissatisfaction and mental chaos.
#4 often feels that things are unfair or not honest enough. Meditation helps find the positive angle and return to grounded clarity.

#5 — Born on the 5th, 14th, 23rd
Meditate to open the heart and release resentment.
#5 can become too logical, sharp, or emotionally closed. Meditation helps reconnect logic with love.

#6 — Born on the 6th, 15th, 24th
Meditate to regulate emotional waves.
#6 feels deeply and can suffer when life is uncomfortable, or love feels unstable. Meditation brings calm, balance, and emotional maturity.

#7 — Born on the 7th, 16th, 25th
Meditate to discipline the mind and reduce inner isolation.
#7 needs spiritual depth, but can become detached, critical, or lost in perfectionism. Meditation brings presence, warmth, and grounded spirituality.

#8 — Born on the 8th, 17th, 26th
Meditate to let go of control and results.
#8 can over-focus on money, outcomes, pressure, and achievement. Meditation teaches trust and helps see people, not just results.

#9 — Born on the 9th, 18th, 27th
Meditate to cool emotional fire.
#9 carries strong action, anger, and service energy. Meditation helps stop emotional burnout and brings the focus back to one’s own path.


Meditate According to Your Mission Number

Mission #1
Meditate before leading, controlling, or deciding for everyone around you.
Your mission carries strategy, leadership, and strong Sun energy — naturally pushing you toward influence, direction, and authority. But without self-awareness, leadership can turn into pressure, dominance, or an inability to hear others.
Meditation softens the ego, helping you lead through clarity, service, and inspiration rather than control.

Mission #2
Meditate before reacting emotionally or taking on other people’s emotions as your own.
Your mission is connected to relationships, understanding people, and emotional intelligence. But #2 can easily fall into self-doubt, emotional dependency, or fear of disappointing others.
Meditation strengthens your inner center, helping you act from responsibility, calmness, and self-respect instead of anxiety or emotional confusion.

Mission #3
Meditate before teaching, correcting, or trying to prove that you know better.
Your mission carries communication, mentorship, and the transmission of knowledge. But when unbalanced, #3 can become mentally rigid, overly analytical, or emotionally cold while trying to “educate” others.
Meditation helps transform knowledge into wisdom, allowing people to feel warmth, understanding, and inspiration rather than pressure or a sense of superiority.

Mission #4
Meditate before starting another goal, fixing another problem, or focusing on what is unfair.
Your mission carries transformation, structure, discipline, and the ability to see what others miss. But #4 often lives in tension, dissatisfaction, or mental chaos when reality does not match its expectations.
Meditation calms the nervous system, helping turn scattered thinking and frustration into clarity, grounded action, and strategic planning.

Mission #5
Meditate before judging people, situations, or decisions based solely on logic and usefulness.
Your mission is connected to intelligence, systems, communication, and bringing benefit to society. But when disconnected from the heart, #5 can become emotionally detached, critical, or overly rational.
Meditation softens inner resistance, opens emotional perception and intuition, and helps transform intelligence into conscious service rather than cold calculation.

Mission #6
Meditate before getting lost in emotions, pleasure, or the need to escape discomfort.
Your mission carries deep emotional sensitivity, creativity, and wisdom. But without inner discipline, emotions begin to control your actions rather than support them.
Meditation helps separate true intuition from emotional turbulence, bringing clarity, restraint, and mature decision-making.

Mission #7
Meditate before withdrawing from people, criticizing others, or escaping too deeply into spirituality.
Your mission carries transformation, discipline, realism, and powerful spiritual energy. But #7 can become detached, perfectionistic, cold, or mentally isolated when living too much “in the head.”
Meditation grounds your spiritual depth in real life, helping you develop warmth, clarity, discipline, and practical embodiment rather than inner crisis or escapism.

Mission #8
Meditate before obsessing over results, money, status, or controlling outcomes.
Your mission carries material mastery, labor, power, creativity, and the ability to build something significant in the physical world. But #8 can become consumed by pressure, expectations, and the endless pursuit of measurable success.
Meditation helps release control, soften rigidity, and reconnect with people’s souls — allowing achievement to come through trust, balance, and conscious action.

Mission #9
Meditate before trying to save everyone, emotionally overgiving, or carrying other people’s burdens.
Your mission carries service, action, leadership through experience, and strong emotional fire. But #9 can burn out by constantly helping, rescuing, or expecting gratitude in return.
Meditation helps regulate emotional intensity, restore inner balance, and redirect your energy toward your own purpose, goals, and path instead of endlessly pushing other people forward.
