Things Done When You're Brave. Durga Puja.

Dear Friend,

On the 2024 Indian lunar calendar, the nine nights ('Nava-ratri') between Thursday 3rd October and Tuesday 12th October is when a certain aspect of the Divine Feminine is active and at it's strongest.

In recognition of this, all across India and the Indian diaspora, a celebration takes place of this aspect, which is visualised as Shri Durga - the warrior Mother.

Shri Durga is depicted as a goddess seated on a fierce lion (or tiger). In her many hands she is holding different weapons for fighting all that is negative in the human psyche.

This is to help bring about individual and collective liberation from all that prevents human flourishing.

According to Yoga, the place of Shri Durga is in the centre heart chakra of human beings.

Interestingly that anatomical location in the sternum bone is where anti-bodies that fight infection are produced up until puberty.

When the centre heart chakra is weakened and the Durga aspect recedes, possibly due to childhood insecurities, it affects how immune that person is and how robust their health.

It's not just immunity from disease. It's also a robustness in every other aspect of life as well; how well you're able to overcome challenges.

This is what Shri Durga gives you: bravery in the face of adversity. And with that you can achieve more than you imagined. More below.

Also below: How to tone yourself by oiling your feet; and a meditation to strengthen your centre heart.

Best wishes

"I had a childhood trauma that continues to negatively affect my relationships as an adult. What chakras do I need to meditate on to heal?

In Reply:

Childhood experiences are imprinted in the subconscious. The subconscious is represented by 'ida nadi' which is the left yogic channel of your subtle body- ( sukshma sharira').

It's the dirty linen closet of the human psyche.

To do the laundry and clear any self-sabotaging impulses arising from your subconscious, try doing the lemon and chilli detox.
