GIFTS THIS CHAKRA BESTOWS YOU:
Cultivating the ability to channel the wild waves of your emotional and sexual energy into creative and constructive outlets is the power of creativity that a balanced second chakra brings.
MYTHOLOGICAL STORY:
On the second day of Navratri, Durga as Goddess Shailputri, who immolated herself in the sacred fire, is now reborn as Brahmacharini, daughter of the spiritual king of the Himalayas.
Brahmacharini supports you in the endless ocean of emotion.
She carries a japa mala, or rosary of prayer beads, in one of her hands.
And a kalash, a small copper vessel that holds water, in the other.
These beautiful objects are weapons to support you on the spiritual journey of self-mastery.
The japa mala helps you focus your energy on a single mantra that you traditionally repeat 108 times (one mantra per bead) to channel your energy into the positivity of mantra.
The kalash represents the potential of the water element to cleanse and bless your whole being even if your emotions and sexuality become muddy and confusing.
When you channel your emotions into pursuit of a higher ideal, you develop incredible creative power.
