AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

My in-laws have strong opinions and a dominant voice. At times, their energy impacts me deeply. How can I stop being affected by them so much? Right now, we are living away from them due to work. But in the future, if we have to live together, it scares me๐Ÿ˜ฑ. In their presence, I feel there is no room for self-expression or choice. [conti]

I notice my creative energy drops and I shift into a state of self-protection.

How can I stay connected to my creative power and truth, even in environments where I feel suppressed or unsafe?

Practice inwardness and be an impartial indifferent witness to all that is going on within and outside. Practice equanimity and most important of all, inner remembrance of the Divine Mother.ย 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
