prayer to goddess

[Guest guest]

namaste everyone

 

one of the safeties is prayer to Goddess energy of Shakti. in the past

i've skipped over this part. i viewed it as dualistic and had a

non-duality fetish.. now i since i'm more serious about this specific

path and more understanding i'd like to do it.

 

but i really have no idea what to do, so i ask you guys to help me out

 

is there an image I can print out to focus on? or should I close eyes

and visualize? the problem with this is that i don't know what form to

visualize

 

form aside, is it correct that the Shakti Goddess is the symbol of

awakening and ascension to higher consciousness? not a separate

individual but the same as what some call Higher Self. The deity is

symbolically worshiped but in reality it is the true enlightened self

that is worshiped?

 

When one opens to the astral then this Goddess can be interacted with

like a Guide?

 

thank you

Here is a picture for you to look at. It incorprates Shiva on the left and Shakti on the right. They are to be seen and understood as aspects of the Sacred Male & the Sacred Female.

chrism, thank you

i really like that picture.. i have a copy of it actually i sent it

to my girlfriend a couple months ago and she painted me it, i'll be

hanging it up soon.

 

i really liked the suggestions you sent, but i connected with this

image for Goddess

http://mandalas.com/HinduGallery/LakshmiGold.php

 

and the yantras i liked most were these two

i put the second one in the bathroom, eye level to toilet lol

 

i have the Goddess picture at eye level where i meditate on my

cushion, so i'll be able to gaze into the eyes.

i saw a post where you taught someone in person the shakti mantra, is

it possible to teach this over email?

 

i'm not familiar to how to approach this beyond gazing into the eyes

and be open and surrendering.

Here is a link to a shakti mantra from the kas1 site . I'm not sure if

this is what you were referring to but it is a great mantra .
