Day 7 – Kalaratri | Releasing Fear & Darkness
Day seven belongs to Kalaratri, the fierce goddess who removes fear and destroys darkness. Though she appears intense, her energy is one of deep protection — reminding us that even in the darkest times, light is present within.
There is so much of darkened, sadness and pain in the world. We have to acknowledge this pain and then get to the root cause. Heal from within and move from darkness into light.
For young girls, Kalaratri represents the courage to face fears, whether that fear is of failure, rejection, loneliness, or the unknown. She teaches that fear is not a weakness — it is an invitation to grow.
School settings have become a vicious space for young girls. They find themselves broken by how they are treated. They are bullied and lose their self worth by comparing themselves with others. They start to self harm and become their own self saboteurs.
If these wounds are unhealed, the. They grow up into young adults feeling less of themselves and lacking discernment and resilience.
👌Learning that fear is natural, but it does not have to control them.
• As a parent Teach your daughter simple breathing exercises for when she feels anxious (inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6).
• At family time, share one fear you’ve overcome to normalise fear as part of life.
👌Naming fears without shame builds resilience.
• Create a “fear box” at home — let her write down her fears and place them inside, symbolically releasing them. Once a week, read and talk about them together.
• Teach her to reframe: “Fear is not a stop sign, it’s a teacher.”
👌Releasing fear through the body brings relief.
• Encourage shaking out the body, stomping feet, or guided movement like dance or yoga to release tension.
• Do a parent–child evening walk in the dark with flashlights to gently show that darkness can be safe when faced together.
🧘🏽♂️Reflection for today:
“How am I creating a safe space for my daughter to name and release her fears?”
Take three deep breaths, exhale longer each time. Whisper: Fear does not control me. I am safe. I am free.
That is Kalaratri’s protection.
That is you.
