Today is a very auspicious day for practice because Navaratri starts in India and it is the biggest festival to the Supreme Goddess. During nine nights and their days the presence of the Divine Feminine Principle is glorified in all that exists, in nature, in the body and also in the mind-heart. Our world continues to be heavily influenced by masculine patterns, but a new way of living is emerging. What is the feminine mind and why is it beneficial to awaken it now?

Masculine and feminine are not codes that men and women present in exclusivity. Every human being has masculine and feminine vibrational characteristics. In Yoga and Ayurveda we are very centered on finding the balance between both because that is the way to develop our full splendor. It is time now to give more relevance to the feminine aspects of Self and if you don´t know what they are, here I describe some of its trades:

• Feeling and sensation are more important than linear thinking. The feminine mind talks through the sensations and feelings that we experience in the physical body. In this sense, matter is the key. 
• It loves the process more than the destination. Likes to get sidetracked, lost and turned around. The feminine mind is labyrinthic, it explores and recollects, it is not in a hurry. It wanders to the depths knowing that it is not wasting time, but totally the opposite.
• It lives the fullness of the cycles and it always finds itself in a constant change. Those cycles are determined by the lunar phases that influence all aspects of self, both in women and men.
• It has the capacity to transform all that weights it down, all that hurts or doens´t serve anymore. The feminine mind loves to renew itself and create changes in the world.
• It is concave and receptive as a uterus, it surrenders gently and functions effortlessly.
• Highly intuitive, it knows without the need to analyzing or knowing something rationally. It allows us to navigate through the world following the guidance of the inner compass.

During the nine nights of Navaratri, I invite you to light a candle at dusk and to embrace the exploration of the feminine mind. I will love to know about your experience, leave a comment, please!

Jai Jai Maa!
