#akhilandeshvari

Inspired by the Hindu goddess Akhilandeshvari, also known as the broken goddess. She is in a constant state of flux, forming and reforming. She draws her power from being broken. She represents a choice, while laying in pieces on the floor, with no idea how to move forward. You are at your most powerful, you are changing, you are flowing in a new way, and this is an incredibly powerful opportunity to become a newer, better version of yourself.

Reposted from @finding.akhilanda - Finding Akhilanda • 2 years ago I started reading about Akhilandeshwari. The Hindu Goddess who is 'never not broken.' Akhilanda derives her power from always being in flux, in pieces and time and time again rebuilding stronger than ever. Her message shook me to my core back then and still resonates deep within my soul. We as beings are constantly changing, our very existence is temporary. We have all heard of phrases such as ‘heartbroken,’ feeling ‘in pieces,’ etc. Often these sentiments carry negative connotations such as weakness or failure. What if, instead of trying to become 'at one' with ourselves, or 'whole' we actually adopt this message from Akhilanda and embrace our ability to continue on and grow? In our brokenness we are human, we are limitless. Everyday we have the opportunity to make the choice to shift our perspective and recreate ourselves and by extension the rest of the world. I hope this message will touch you today. I believe through the practise of mindfulness, yoga and making conscious choices that serve and benefit us, we can all realise our strength and take comfort in the fact that we are all broken and see the beauty in that. ❤️ #akhilandeshvari #goddess #vulnerabilityisstrength #consciousness #love #yogapractice #india #shakti #shetravels https://www.instagram.com/p/BzEzCiqh6tL/?igshid=s4frjhpzga30

They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.

As I lie there on the bathroom rug, sobbing and gasping for breath, I hold myself, curl into myself. Allowing. Feeling my misery and allowing the pain, the disappointment, the waves of hopelessness to wash over me. Wrapping an arm around myself, the other resting against the floor. A state of surrender. The questions whir–what is it all for? What difference have I made; but a grain of sand… How can we carry on in such a cruel world… My mind finds Akhilandeshvari–the goddess of never not broken. Finding comfort in her. Picture her wrapping me in her arms, feeling the breeze through my cracked and broken places. The cracks are where the light gets in. Just be. Just be.
