All of the various forms of Shakti, I. E. The goddess or the divine feminine energy, Are expressions of the supreme goddess who contains everything in existence. The great goddess Lakshmi is known as the goddess of prosperity, The bestower of intelligence and success, The giver of worldly enjoyment and liberation. One way of invoking the goddess in the tantric traditions is to use mantra, Or specifically the beej mantra or seed sound. The beej mantra of each goddess is felt as her sonic vibration, So an actual manifestation of her. Now I will guide you through this meditation practice to bring the qualities of the beautiful goddess Lakshmi into your being using your breath and the beej mantra. For the Goddess. So find a comfortable seat with a tall spine. Make a conscious connection with the earth. By identifying your sit bones, The bottom two tips of the pelvis and or the soles of your feet. Close your eyes or find a soft gaze. Now start to focus on the breath. Take a full and deep breath in through the nose, Fill the lungs and allow the belly to expand. Pause.
