GIFTS THIS CHAKRA BESTOWS YOU:
Connecting with your personal power, asserting yourself when necessary, and finding your place in the world.
By balancing your third chakra, you can achieve the incredible health, balance, and power that come from proper digestion of your food, information, emotions, and life experiences.
MYTHOLOGICAL STORY:
On the third day of Navratri, after having immolated herself and practiced thousands of years of spiritual disciplines to re-marry Lord Shiva, Durga as Goddess Chandraghanta emerges to stand up to Lord Shiva for his strange behaviors!
This unexpected marriage story highlights the importance of standing for the good of all, even - and especially - with the one you may love the most!
As Truth, alone, triumphs.
Chandraghanta is loaded with weaponry, which is appropriate considering the intensity of the battles necessary to fight both inner and outer demons that block you from your true power.
On the spiritual journey, there are many lessons that teach us the power and importance of love, compassion, gentleness, and forgiveness.
This is very important, and Goddess Chandraghanta in your third chakra, with all her weapons, reminds us of the necessity to also have healthy boundaries, and to practice bravery when we go through the fire of transformation to purify the ego, so it is healthy but not excessive.
This ensures your energy can start to rise into higher chakras that follow.
When you ignite the fire of transformation in your being, it makes the impossible possible, and has the power to burn away all that you are not.
