Fifth day of Navratri puja with guided meditation!

in #tribesteemup6 years ago

Welcome to the fifth day of Navratri!
Nine days to strengthen the connection with the female power in yourself!
You can still enter.

How is it for you to keep your candle burning for as long as possible in your bowl or bowl? I would love to read your experiences in the comments.

Today is the second day in these 5 days that we have already had, that we worship Lakshmi Ma, the aspect of abundance, nutrition, health and wealth of the Goddess Durga / Shakti.

The form of Lakshmi Ma that we worship today is Skandamata.

The story goes that there once was a demon who with his strong penance and devotion to lord Shiva earned a boon from Him. The boon he asked for was to never be killed by anything else then Shiva's own son. This might seem strange to you but the demon figured Shiva would probably never get married, so he counted on it that he would never have a son.

Being pretty much untouchable like that, the demon started terrorising the earth everywhere and people prayed to Shiva to get married. Shiva then Married Skandamata who gave him a son called Skana, who slayed the demon!

Yes, these nine days are all about slaying the demon! So Skandamata gives salvation, power and prosperity. She also purifies the heart. The blessings she gives will com eto you if you worship her while being in control of your senses and mind, praying to her selflessly.

I want to invite you to worship yourself today as Goddess of abundance, by placing your own photo on your altar for your Puja. And to sacrifice some flowers or fruit yourself. This probably feels a little strange at first, but just look at the reactions that arise.

Today I invite you to:

• Keep your Candle burning in your dish / bowl as long as possible.
• 3x Om and 21 x OM DUM DURGAYA NAMAHA
• Do your Navratri Meditation. See if you may be able to breathe between your Heart and your Hara today without the help of the mp3.
• Do something again that feeds your sense of abundance, often that is crazy enough 'gratitude' for what you already have and if you give yourself something extra then it is a party.

That the flow of plenty may come your way and fulfil all your needs.

Mantra for today:

Navratri meditation:

Lots of Love and selfless devotion for you,
Clara @wombloom

Lovely post. I need to rekindle my mediation session. I do a lot in nature but rarely sit down and focus thanks for the reminder 💯🐒

Hi! I'm so glad you commented! You're the first in these five puja days!
Yes, this can be a particularly good meditation if you like nature vibe and doing stuff, because it connects the heart to this place of action and wild nature in yourself: Your hara. I would be curious to hear what you experience.

There you go glad to lift you haha. I will give it a go and let you know 💯🐒

Oh great! I'm all excited!

beautiful post. I love hearing about different rituals and mantras, so thank you for sharing this.

Have you ever listened to "Lakshmi" by Marti Nikko? It's a beautiful song to call in Lakshmi and send her thanks.

Om Hrim Srim Klim Maha Lakshmi Namaha!
