Self Today is the third and final day which is devoted to the energy and power of Goddess Durga. We renew our commitment to acquire triumph over all of our negative tendencies and imperfections, and purify them enough to become a receptacle of her divine energy. Body What works for one does not always work for another. Tapping into the wisdom of our own body gives us the guidance to know what works for us. Take note of the foods you eat, and how it makes you feel: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Take note of sleep habits and your daily energy levels. This simple understanding of our body allows us to function optimally; we feel light and energized. Mind : Surrender the doubting mind, judging intellect and Discriminating Ego to dissolve cowardice and weakness. Thereby protect courageously the Inner Child and attract prosperity and abundance to enjoy the journey in this body.

Navratri
We will spend the next nine divine days of Navaratri honoring the victory of positivity over negativity, good over evil. The actual fight is not really between good and evil, but rather the victory is of the absolute reality over the apparent duality of self and consciousness.
Navaratri is the beginning of the fall harvest, the change of seasons. When we align our system to Nature, we rest in balance. We feel energized, light in our body, and ease in our movements.
Whether in silence or active in the world, spend just a few moments to honor your self and body during these precious nine days.
In this time, we will spend the next nine days attending to our body, mind and Spirit and also by detoxing all there, taking some disciplinary actions ( at least 9 days in an year). Next nine days, we will be doing some yoga and any kind of fast or detox ( like Juice detox, Kichid Detox, on Fruit diet …anything that you think you can do …BUT TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME)
for the body. Every day chantings of divine mother ( Eg; Lalita Sahastra namam, kadgamala, Devi kavacham, etc) , meditate and stay in tune with the inner self for mind and spirit. (This is how it used to be when I was growing up. Planning to do the same again during these nine days).
{If the above actions are too tough then you can follow the below 😀, which I will be posting every day}
First Day
Self
Today is among the first three days of self-purification in which goddess Durga is worshiped in her terrifying, destructive and powerful aspect. We pray to the goddess to destroy our imperfections. We pray to make them pure, to receive the divine energy.
Body
These nine days give us the opportunity to slow down, reflect and make subtle changes in our habits. See where you can make shifts in your lifestyle habits that allow for your system to rest. Small changes make bigger results. See if you can eat lighter, increase fruits and vegetables, increase water intake, sleep earlier or reduce time in front of the computer or TV. Rest to your digestive, and nervous system, or even to your eyes away from gadgets, can go a long way. Set an intention for these nine days.
