Saraswati

Saraswati MaThis is the last 3 days of Navratri, the nine nights of the Divine Feminine. Navratri reveals all the aspects of you as a woman in the various forms of the goddesses.Today we come into the supreme flow of Ma Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom, creation, intelligence and infinite possibilities…. wow infinite possibilities

Let me introduce you to Ma Saraswati, She is the master of bringing your creative intentions into manifestation within the flow of life. On this journey of stepping into a softer, more expansive, more radiant version of who you already are as a woman, Ma Saraswati yearns for you to come into your feminine flow.   You are pregnant with infinite possibility, pregnant with expression of stepping into your power (Shakti)… are you beginning to feel it as we explore these aspects of the goddesses? the goddesses are facets and frequencies of you… your many faces and rhythms

Saraswati is the goddess to help you feel the liberation of the shackles of the old you, that perhaps held you in outdated clothes that no longer fit. The liberation of releasing the old and welcoming in the new is oh so appealing – no? If the goddesses do not resonate, then look at their message:: there are times you wish to release the old thought patterns, or ways of being, that are restricting you. Saraswati reveals her wisdom in the form of sacred speech, so how do you speak to yourself?

Ma Saraswati is a beautiful goddess who embodies the concept of knowledge that is supremely alluring. I love this, the study of sadhana, the immersion in Navratri long lineage of wisdom for me is alluring, learning about the goddesses and there many qualities helps me to embrace and understand and accept my own qualities. the goddesses  invite me to taste more and more honey and the sweetness of sadhana is so intoxicating for me, even when the honey is bitter in everyday life… you still feel their energy as a support.  This is why I sit in circle every year with my teacher Shiva Rea at Navratri time, to be reminded that we are all interconnected.

The goddesses are inviting you in for a taste , or maybe a drink of the Divine – are you beginning to taste this?

Like other Goddesses Saraswati has four arms, that no she doesn’t use for  multi tasking and endless tasks like us… ;-), no, Ma Saraswati hands represent four aspects of human personality in learning: mind, intellect, alertness and ego. She holds sacred scriptures and mala, using mantra to calm the mind, symbolic of true knowledge. She plays the music of love and life with her other two hands the veena and sits within a lotus. She is dressed in white for purity and rides a white swan symbolizing Sattwa Guna or purity and discrimination – the swan filters out the good from the bad.

for you to come into Saraswati frequency Why don’t you today wear something white, put on some music and take 5 minutes to dance or move in fluid vinyasa yoga as if Ma Saraswati is playing the veena and inviting you to express your unique gift through your expression of movement. This will help you to rid these shackles that might be holding you back, strip you bare, even naked from these outdated clothes, release them all to flow with life and love. and then once you’ve moved sit to meditate and ask your self questions and let her truth speak to you…

7th day of Navratri

On the seventh day, Today, as we enter Saraswati’s flow,  the seventh form of Goddess Durga that is worshipped as ‘Kalratri’. Kalrati is as black as a dark night, she is fierce. She has four hands, she is meant to empower devotees to be fearless. She is asking that if there is anything else you need to cut through in order to come into Saraswati’s sublime flow

Even though the seas may be stormy the sublime beauty of Sarawati heals all senses and brings a rejuvenating quality to all.

Do you every feel when times are challenging, its really hard to see the beauty or the flow or the love?

I do, I’ve recently been experiencing these rough storms and yesterday truly felt a shift, where i contemplated and recognised the shift of energy towards Kalratri energy. I see these goddesses as me, their frequency mirrors a state of mind of way of being that I go through in life. and their story highlights my own story.

so yesterday here’s my experience i was meditating on my womb area, my creative sex centre that os all about flow and I wanted to help ground and root me and come into the creative flow. As I settled, I remembered Bhairavi another form of the goddess that is so linked with Kalratri and Ma Saraswati, yet Bhairavi has more of a Kali energy. I did say that women have many facets and here is one example…

LoveYourself.jpgso Bhairavi is a goddess of speech, like Saraswati, yet Bhairavi is raw and uncensored form of truth though,   she speaks her truth in a kind of modern no BS kind of way – and for those who really know me will understand why this resonates with me! i speak my truth and for some who need the sugar coating, I perhaps don’t filter this  with candyfloss….I’m raw and real, and will always speak the truth, no masks. Bhairavi is real, doesn’t apologise for having pmt, or labelled as too much, or over-powering she doesn’t care for this, she cares for the love and the truth and she sees it as it and knows it can change. She sees the masks that others hid behind and with her heat they melt away and you see a thief for a thief or a saint for a saint.

Bhairavi turns up the heat, the tapas, and within my own sadhana at present, she’s cooking me more in my sadhana that is releasing the negative regressive tendencies I’ve been hanging on to  in order to receive the  light (Lakshmi love) and balance (Saraswati’s wisdom). Her energy is heating me up so much that I can then pause in the flow and discrimate what is true, for me. and as I sat with Bhairavi, her heat melted my lower chakras from my womb opening and this allows my upper throat chakra and my speech, my voice to open and Sarawati’s wisdom came forth with infinite possibilities.

shravanaSo I invite you to come inside, to your creative women centre where you sit and feel the heat, the creative juices and let them rise and reveal your truth…maybe practice my feminine flow meditation and ask

what is your truth?

Saraswati is the aspect of shakti that opens all the chakras. Saraswati known for sacred speech as Vac and knowledge, she connects the tongue to the heart and speaks with eloquence. The body becomes the instrument opening to the subtlities for the energy. Her flow of love, wisdom awakens the truth and the infinite possibilities flow abundantly from the truth….

Allow yourself to feel into what your truth is… even if this is hard, and makes you sweat, this is maybe Bhairavi heat and Kalratri cutting through the last of your limitations you place upon yourself and when you know your truth, the flow of Saraswati will permeate your whole being… let Saraswati teach you to create beauty, art, culture to channel it all into the highest good for all…

more tomorrow…
