Durga Challenge Day 5: 📿Mala📿 – 🙏🏼✨DEVOTION✨🙏🏼 – 🔻Sukhasaa🔺 with Fearless Heart Mudra. To be unwavering in one's devotion to the practices, to listening to divine guidance, and to be fearless on the path even when it's rocky and dark... For me this is the hardest practice. Far more challenging than any pose, is my work to release fear and choose love. Just as gems need friction to become polished, we need our life challenges to refine and evolve us. The deeper I go down the rabbit hole, the more intense and difficult are the initiations I encounter. I am astonished, humbled, inspired, and terrified in the face of the immensity and mystery of it all. It is right at these moments, these great thresh holds of change, that I am most grateful for the practices of yoga, particularly meditation, mantra and mudra. My devotion is strengthened during adversity. My heart cracks and breaks open to grow even bigger than before. Jai Ma Durga! ✨ This is the #YJGoddessProject Instagram Challenge!
