Daily Woman’s Practices: Monday

I have once written an article about various daily practices to do depending on the day of the week. So, if you want a short version of that you are welcome to read my older article. This time, I would like to go into more details for each day, as I have learned more things myself and now practice them weekly. This is based on astrological, energetic, and other spiritual knowledge that combined together creates a beautiful weekly feminine routine in harmony with nature. Plus it helps with planning for those of you who are not good at it (like me 😉 ). If you are interested, just keep reading. We’ll start with Monday.

Monday Energies

Monday is ruled by the planet Moon or Chandra from Vedic astrology. Moon is a female planet so it is a good day to take care of yourself but not externally. For your external beauty, there will be Friday. Monday is more for your inner emotional state and your health. The energies of this day are usually soft and calm so ideally any activities and busy schedule is not recommended otherwise they will drain you. If we are very busy and active the whole day, by the end of the day we will be very tired and stressed, and possibly with a headache. And the whole world is completely breaking this rule, which results in a stressful beginning of the week. Now you know why. If you have a flexible schedule try not to work on Monday, or at least avoid scheduling any meetings.

This day is a great day to do grocery shopping and shop especially for vegetables. All vegetables are considered lunar type of food. So on Monday there are more chances to find only the best and most fresh vegetables. On top of that, you will spend much less time getting what you are looking for with the right kind of mood – a feminine lunar one.

It is great to clean your house on Monday, and not on a weekend like we are used to. It is just good to stay home generally on this day and do some home chores (another reason why working on Monday is hard and stressful). If you don’t have a choice but to go outside and work, make sure to spend some time in the evening to honor the Moon, outside in the sky and inside of you. Let her know that you are wise woman who knows what to do.

Monday Feminine Practices

Monday is wonderful to practice gratitude, giving, and receiving. It is important to try to gather the whole family together at least once during that day, maybe with dinner. This ritual will strengthen family connections and care for each other. So, it is great to go shop for dinner, like we already learned, maybe even shop for some little gifts for your family members. It does not have to be something fancy or big, just something that shows them you love them. Give your gifts without expectations and you will practice your giving part.

Although the care today should be internal, it is still very beneficial to have a hot milk bath or some foot soak with essential oils.

Monday is a perfect day to practice just about any feminine practice, as well as trying to connect to any female deity (mentioned above). It is best to avoid any sexual practices. This day is only about pure love from the heart. You can practice either alone or in a group of other women. Most practices should be connected with the element of Water, and the spirits of water – mermaids. So one of the first practices you can do upon waking up on Monday is to imagine you are a mermaid who follows the flow of the river. And everything that happens today with you just happens on its own without much of your effort.

Other things you can practice throughout the day today are:

• Pay spiritual homage to a Goddess (any you can relate with)
• Work on developing inner calm and trust
• Improve relationships with mother or serve mother
• Selfless care for those in need

And last but not least it is a perfect day for any meditation to fill yourself with feminine energy. Just set aside ten minutes and fill yourself entirely with beautiful feminine energy. This will help you tremendously to meet and greet the next day of the week – Tuesday.
