1/2

My new morning ritual:

Part of my new morning ritual ( taken fromMayas book) have been a combination ofGoddess Shakti Pose, shiva linga hand mudra,a wonderful mantra from the goddess Durga (todestroy negative forces and remove obstacles)and the mindful preparation of a wholesomebreakfast (something Ive always done). Thispractice also changes slightly depending on the

cycle of the moon.

Do I feel different? Yes. Absolutely. I get asense of being filled with more gentleness onthe inside, am so much more aware of the

feminine energy filling my belly (in fact Im quite protective of its energy) and have aheightened intuitive sense. I feel more me, if that makes sense.

So, if all of this resonates with you then youll love the following Shakti asana Goddess pose. Inoticed a difference almost immediately particularly with how my belly feels.

The potency of this pose is in how you direct your breath and prana in and out of yourbody. The Shakti asana, Goddess pose is pictured above.

Recall your Shakti (feminine energy):

its a powerful way to cultivate the shakti-prana of the Divine Mother.

Lay on your back with your head pointing east

Stretch out your legs hip-width apart

Let your arms fall to your sides, palms up

Bring the soles of your feet together so that the knees fall to either side

Fell the stretch in your pelvis

Visualize the intake of breath coming in through your vulva. Let this energy flow into

your belly.

Slowly release the breath downward and out through your vulva.

With each breath imagine Shakti in the form of white light flooding your belly.

Hold the posture for approximately 5 minutes

Its important to remember that shakti-prana is not exclusive to women.
