How to Use Goddess Kali 
in Your Life + Business

(Note: this week's blog is not for the faint of heart. )
Are you ready to make a big shift in your life, but something is holding you back?
It might be time to invoke Goddess Kali, the Tantric Goddess of Death, also known as "the Dark Mother."

 


She evokes death. She allows change to happen.

 Her energy is not needed often, but when it is, she rocks!

Here is her story:
In the Hindu legend, the ferocious demon Raktabija could not be killed and every drop of his blood would become another demon.

The Gods asked God Shiva to destroy him, but he was deep in meditation, so they called on his wife, Parvati. Parvati immediately changed forms into Kali, rode in on a lion and basically KICKED SOME ASS! She ordered the Gods to attack him while she used her TONGUE (!!!) to cover the battlefield, preventing him from reproducing himself. She became drunk on his blood and went crazy, killing everything in her path. Her husband Shiva stepped in, and threw himself under her feet, which allowed her to return to her peaceful form (Parvati). 



What does all this have to do with your life and business?
 
Well, basically, 
without death, we can not have REBIRTH.
 
We are so often afraid of death. It means the end. Something is done. It's over. 
 
It is the finality of death that scares us. So we hold on to things that 
ARE NOT SERVING US. 
Just so we won't have to watch something die. 
 
But there's a beautiful side to death. Death creates space for new things to grow. 
 
My nature is to be a loving, nurturing person. Setting boundaries can be hard!  But I've been sticking my tongue out, gathering my courage, and saying "No!!!" to the things that don't fit in my life anymore.
 
All the sticky, yucky, old, dysfunctional stuff. Do you have any of that stuff? 
 
There is a time and a place to nurture the parts of ourselves that may feel confused or sad, and then there's a time to simply let those parts die and MOVE ON!!! 


My challenge to you is to look inside and release that which is not serving you anymore.
 
Example:
In your personal life... is there a stagnant relationship, dysfunctional behavior, a PROBLEM? 
 
If so, go into the woods, run as fast as you can with your tongue out, call out for Kali, and stomp that thing out of your life.
 

 

In your business...is there a distraction, a belief that is holding you back, a lack of vision or implementation? 

Stick your tongue out and STALK your own reactions. 

For God's sake, pull up those poisoned roots and release them!

They're not serving you anymore.

And you are BIGGER than that. You deserve a lot. 

This process probably won't be easy. We sometimes have feelings that come up with death. So, be present to your own feelings, get support, then...

OPEN YOUR EYES 

to the new, clear space you have created for yourself, in all of its beauty and all of its pristine opportunity.
