Chaitra Navratri is a time of immense spiritual transformation, where divine feminine energies guide us toward clarity, healing, and self-discovery. Each day is ruled by a different form of Goddess Durga, bringing unique blessings and vibrational shifts.
On Day 5, we worship Goddess Skandamata, the nurturing mother of Lord Kartikeya (Skanda). She represents unconditional love, wisdom, and the power to overcome challenges. Her energy is a blend of compassion and strength, making this day ideal for enhancing inner peace, clarity, and protection from negativity.
Reiki Healing & Energy Insights for Day 5
As a Reiki Master, I have observed that the energy of Goddess Skandamata resonates deeply with the Vishuddha (Throat Chakra). This chakra governs communication, self-expression, and spiritual wisdom. If you have been struggling with self-doubt, unclear thoughts, or difficulty in expressing your emotions, today is the perfect day for healing and alignment.
How to Channel Today’s Energy Through Reiki:
- Throat Chakra Healing: Place your hands on your throat and visualize a radiant blue light flowing through you. This strengthens self-confidence and spiritual communication.
- Reiki-Infused Water Ritual: Charge a glass of water with Reiki energy while chanting HAM (the beej mantra for the throat chakra), then drink it to cleanse and empower your communication abilities.
- Affirmations to Align with Skandamata’s Grace:
- “I express my truth with clarity and love.”
- “I am protected and guided by divine wisdom.”
Astrological Influence & Remedies for Day 5
Astrologically, Day 5 is influenced by Mercury, the planet of intelligence, speech, and analytical thinking. This makes it a powerful day for learning, decision-making, and seeking divine guidance.
