As for now after Navratri I have felt the need to invoke Durga in every meditation by visualising her beautiful form drawing her shakti into me.
Seeing her as the protective shakti and also as the kundalini manifesting within the body/mind.
I feel the need of doing this now as my life seems to manifest some real life challenges in private sphere. I ask Durga for energy, courage and willpower et.c. to help me out to act with power, dispassion and love....
Sally Kemptons book "
Awakening Shakti" is very helpful.
She is a former Swami on my path.
