Namaskaram, in this post I will share the method of connecting to the divine mother goddess and feeling her presence and grace in your life. I have been off lately from writing because I have a lot of things going on from study to career to family pressure and stuff and a million things all at once, surviving by her grace.
As you know, we all go through difficult days and our heart feels restless and worried and anxious and scared of don't know what but something that consumes us from inside and makes our world darker and darker, fear and depression and sadness and weakness poisoning our mind and making us weaker day by day. You want to kill yourself but you cannot, you want to live but you cannot. You want to cry but still you smile and when you smile you feel guilty for being happy as anxiety is your permanent home.
But remember in this vast cosmos, which is infinitely big, even the word BIG fells short to describer it's vastness, we are equal to nothing and our lives end in the blink of an eye so what you did or happened or what you feel doesn't matter, nothing matters in front of universe but everything just get dissolved into it. So the best decision you can make today is not to belittle your tiny successes and joys and feel good about yourself, just choose to feel good even in the times of trouble, that's the bravest thing you can do and Devi loves you anyways so why you strive to be good in the eyes of others, you are already good in the eyes of Divine Mother Goddess. As all the actions happen in mind and body and stay there, you are not mind and body, untouched by all actions, clear and divine.
Devi is that fire that ends the darkness and spreads the light of wisdom, peace, calmness and abundance in the devotee's life. She is so kind she just can't see you in trouble, the most compassionate one. She is the kindest most loving deity and one tear in your eyes is like a an arrow in her heart, she always loves her devotees and she is an eternal companion to those who seek her in distress.
So here are the steps I follow as I connect to her for inner guidance and her grace and to just share what I feel with her.
Step 1 - Wash your hands, face and legs with water
Step 2 - Light an oil lamp
Step 3 - Offer a flower to her like you would give it to a loved one with a smile and with full emotion
Step 4 - Sit comfortably straight in padmasana or any way you feel good to sit for a few minutes
Step 5 - look into her eyes and take deep breaths, make yourself comfortable
Step 6 - Close your eyes and take deep breaths and soon enough your head will start to clear
Step 7 - Now share all your worries, you dilemmas, your fears, your wants... Cry in front of her, just surrender yourself and she will take care of all your worries and she is Shakti she will provide strength to your heart and she will keep you in her lap and you will always feel protected and loved and safe.
She is easily available to those who calm their senses and mind by yoga and dhyana... she never leaves. She is the divinity within you.
That's it for today, keep doing your Sadhana, Namaskaram!
