Navaratri-Day 2

 


Self
We continue the initial days of Navarati in worship to the Goddess Durga, the powerful and destructive aspect of the Mother Divine. It is with her power that we pray to destroy the negative tendencies of selfishness, jealousy, prejudice, hatred, anger, and ego we hold in our heart and mind.
Body
Eating foods that suit our constitution and are gentle to our system along with movement/exercise help to keep the whole body in balance. Proper digestion, and elimination are an important indicator of overall health and well-being.
Mind
Meditation, and journal writing are all effective ways of letting go of thoughts and emotions that do not serve us. See what you can incorporate into your day to help you let go. Practice surrendering the events, thoughts and emotions to the divine which are not in your circle of influence, will help to see the shift in you.
