Durga (Boundaries) - Wisdom of the Goddesses

Durga (Sanskrit: दुर्गा, IAST: Durgā) is a major Hindu goddess, worshipped as  a principal aspect of the mother goddess Mahadevi. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction, and wars.

Goddess Durga has the power to put the poor out of their misery. She is omnipotent and can take away one's fear. She can relieve people from ailments. She protects her worshippers and blesses them with enough that they can protect the ones in need.

Are Durga and Kali the same?

In destroying evil, Durga transforms into Goddess Kali, who is regarded as her most ferocious avatar. While most people are familiar with these legends and myths about the two Goddesses, what many don't know is that Durga and Kali have donned various avatars over time.

Monday, May 15th, 2023 - Durga (Boundaries)

“You have called Durga into your life to help you to create  boundaries. What are you taking inside that should remain outside? How are you not protecting yourself, your life, your time? Is the statement “NO,  I can’t do this right now, I need to care for myself,” part of your vocabulary? Perhaps you feel dumped on by others. Are you feeling pulled off center by demands to give and give and give till there is nothing left for yourself? Durga is here to assist you in nurturing wholeness by creating and fixing the limits of your personal space. Establishing clear boundaries is an act of self-love. Having no boundaries gives others the message that you are limitless and want to be treated in a limitless way. No one is limitless; there are places where we get hurt, places where we are vulnerable, places that need to be treated with care. Durga says that boundaries are vital because they let others know who you are and where you stand.”  -- Amy Sophia Marashinsky

In this meditation series, we focus on resetting the healing agreements we have with our body, emotions, personal power, and purpose through an exploration of 20 core Goddess archetypes. These Goddesses teach us profound lessons and our role as enlightened humans in this world. Each week we will take a deep dive into our light and shadow through meditations of self-discovery and healing. All genders welcome.

This meditation and discussion consists of breath work, grounding, present moment, chakra clearing and activation, as well as calling our life force energy back to ourselves in Golden Suns, and healing our auras with psychic protection. We work with the archangels, ascended masters and our higher selves. We use creative visualization to tap into our intuitive mind and restore peace and harmony to our souls. A peaceful mind facilitates a healthy body.

The Goddess Archetypes are based on The Goddess Oracle Deck by Amy Sophia Marashinsky and Illustrated by: Hrana Janto.
