Soul Questions & Action Steps for Navaratri

Read a written copy or listen to an audio recording of the Devī-Māhātmya
The Devī-Māhātmya both influences and is informed by the Indian epics and Purānic texts.
This new God/dess power inspires revisions of the earlier epics with more empowered representations of the feminine principle. This text provides a Goddess revolution that emboldens the non-dual traditions of Hindu Tantra. It forms the foundation of the Navaratri Celebration. The story is recited during the nine nights of celebration and each of the nine goddess images hail from the mythic vision of Devī.

Decorate your altar with the three images of Durga, Lakshmi, & Saraswati.
The first three nights will provide an invocation to the fierce warrior goddess, Durga.
Nights four through six will honor Lakshmi, and the final three nights will celebrate Saraswati.
You will want to change the images and offerings to reflect the particular invocations of each day.

Light a candle or small, safe fire.
A fire burns continuously for the entire Navaratri celebration. If you can secure a flame to burn SAFELY for all nine nights, this will serve as a beautiful reminder of your awakened consciousness. It also signifies your commitment to tend the fire of your heart with nourishing food, self-care practices, and continued learning.

Prepare soups and teas.
It is traditional to fast during the nine nights of Navaratri. Fasting does not have to mean going completely without food though. Especially during vata season, it is recommended that you keep your body nourished to stay balanced and grounded. Navaratri is a perfect time, however, to enjoy a cleanse from sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and meat. See how amazing—detoxified and hydrated—you feel after nine days of warm vegetable soups and herbal tea.

Journal your reflections:

What are the bones and songs that you have been weaving lately? Not sure what this means? LISTEN TO SONGS & BONES.
Has your ego been clinging too tightly to one particular personality trait? If so what it it? Can you recognize and embrace the shadow looming beneath it?
What has been coming up recently in your dream images? Have you been paying attention to your insights and gut level urges
Have you been creating positive sacred boundaries and speaking your truth with love?
Honor your courage, strength, and inner power. Write down the self-defeating qualities or limiting habits you wish to transform. Use a grain of rice to represent each quality or habit you wish to release. Throw each grain of rice into your Navaratri fire*, one by one, as you commit to letting go of your limiting habits.
What 10 things could you do better to be a true environmental Peace Warrior in everyday life?
List 5 things that you find beautiful about your physical appearance. List 5 things that you love about your personality and 10 things you love about your life.
Pay loving attention to how your money flows—both income and spending.
Focus on your blessings. What are you grateful for in this very moment? Write down all the things you tend to lament about your life. Use a grain of rice to represent each complaint. Throw each grain of rice into your Navaratri fire*, one by one to be burned up and destroyed. Commit to turning your attention toward creating beauty, embracing grace, and cultivating gratitude.
Write down three spiritual teachings you wish to learn or better understand. Pick one and read an inspiring book or article about it.
In your journal, create a concrete vision of who you want to be—and realize that vision is exactly who you really ARE. Write out the qualities you wish to embody—physically, mentally, and socially. List all your special skills. Write one or two sentences (first thought, best thought) answering the question: What are you creating?
Now, speak it! The Saraswatī-Vāc power lies in moving energy with vibration. That means you must find your voice and, in your own beautiful way, share your vision with the world.
