How do you vanquish a demon? You take away its power. In ancient yogic texts, there is a tale of the Goddess Kali. In a great battle, there was a powerful demon and when he was injured and his blood hit the ground, it would create a clone of the demon. This made it impossible to destroy the enemy. After great hardship and casualties in the battle, the Goddess Kali drank all the demon's blood and destroyed him.
Do you feed your demons with attention and energy? One lesson we can learn from the Goddess Kali is simple, to take away your demon's power. Free yourself from what has power over you.
When we practice yoga, it gives us the opportunity to engross ourselves in our breath and our bodies. This allows us to leave the troubles of everyday life behind for just a little while. When we come back to earth after savasana our demons have less power than before.
