Welcome to this guided meditation to connect to the courageous heart of Goddess Durga.
Allow yourself to find a comfortable position,
Either sitting up or lying down,
But just allowing your spine to be elongated,
Perhaps gently tucking the chin so that you have one long line of energy from the base of your spine to the crown of your head,
Inviting the hush of morning to settle around you.
Feel the support beneath you,
Steady,
Nurturing,
Like the unwavering strength of the earth itself.
Draw in a deep breath,
Cool and fresh,
And as you exhale allow any traces of doubt or fear to dissolve into the quiet air.
With each inhale envision a soft luminous red glow blossoming at the center of your chest.
This is the sacred flame of courage,
The seed of Durga's fierce spirit awakening within you.
Durga is the radiant embodiment of divine feminine power,
Majestic and compassionate,
Fierce and nurturing in equal measure.
Cloaked in a celestial aura of gold and crimson,
She stands unyielding atop her lion,
The ultimate symbol of strength,
Harnessed with grace.
Multiple arms extend outward,
Each hand bearing a sacred tool,
Poised to both protect and uplift,
To banish darkness and to bless with light.
She is the breaker of chains,
The vanquisher of fear,
And the wellspring of courage that flows to all those who call upon her.
Feel her presence gently surrounding you,
Glowing crimson and gold.
With every breath her energy flows into your heart,
Warm,
Steady.
She whispers to your soul,
You are brave,
You are strong,
You are protected.
You are brave,
You are strong,
You are her courage to become the rhythm of your breath.
Inhaling strength,
As you continue to focus on your breath,
Repeat to yourself,
I inhale strength,
I inhale confidence,
I exhale limitation,
I inhale strength.
Sense this divine energy rising up along your spine,
Illuminating your body with a vibrant light.
With every heartbeat,
Durga's fearless power pulses within you,
As you repeat these affirmations.
I face new challenges with strength and confidence.
Courage flows through me with every breath I take.
I trust myself to move forward,
Even when I feel afraid.
My heart is brave,
And I stand tall in my truth.
Every day I go stronger and more resilient.
I face new challenges with strength and confidence.
Courage flows through me with every breath I take.
I trust myself to move forward,
Even when I feel afraid.
My heart is brave,
And I stand tall in my truth.
Every day I grow stronger and more resilient.
When you are ready,
Softly bring your awareness back to your breath.
Like a lioness,
You are grounded and alert,
Ready to face whatever the day may bring with unwavering grace.
Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes,
Feel the supports beneath you once again.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying with you the unshakable courage of Goddess Durga into your day.
You are courageous.
You are protected.
You are unstoppable.
May all beings be happy and free,
And may my thoughts,
My words,
And my actions contribute in some way to that happiness and freedom for all.
