This month's Shakti Series: Yoga Nidra offering is the beloved and fierce goddess, Ma Kali, also named Mahakali or Kalika. The first and foremost of the Mahavidyas, Kali begins the journey of expression through time. Her planetary correspondence is Saturn which is also connected to time, responsibility and awareness of death. Working with Kali, or this meditation can be a remedy for the stuck Saturn energy in our life.

Equated with lightning, Mahakali's shakti (power) is destruction. As a catalyst for change, she will help liberate us from ego identity, delusion, and attachments. Working with Kali Ma, we make efforts to gain confidence AND humility, fearlessness AND kindness, empowerment AND surrender as well as a considerable awareness of time.

We will start with a short talk and then integrate the information through a "sleeping" meditation called yoga nidra. This yoga nidra is a guided meditation intended bring a felt sense of where Kali already exists in our lives, how to harness her teachings, and perhaps an awareness to the transformation about to unfold.

An affirmation to work with Kali could be "I step into my transformation with courage and clarity."

A mantra to use in heart centered process
