Navratri-Day 8

 

Self

Today, we continue our worship for goddess Saraswati.  One cannot attain the divine knowledge without removing negative tendencies and having wealth of love, inner peace and calmness.We first have to purify ourselves to get to the path of wisdom. Goddess Saraswati bestows the shakti (energy) to devotees so that they can attain knowledge.

Body

Take a moment in the day or just before going to bed to check in with yourself of physical and mental/emotional symptoms as indicators of what is going on in the body and mind. Physical symptoms are bodily sensations– Imbalance: heaviness, sluggishness, weakness. Balance: energy, stamina, steady breathing. Mental/Emotional symptoms are feelings, thoughts– Imbalance: tense, restless, agitated. Balance: calm, relaxed, focused.

Mind

In order to merge in to our pure self we release our weak self that attracts violence and abuse in any form.
