We are often trapped by the patterns, stories, and attachments we create. Mother Divine as Maha Durga descends in the form of Kali, the great warrior Goddess, to serve us in freeing ourselves from our own illusions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>DAILY PRACTICE<\/h5>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Shree Devi Maa recorded this 21-minute guided meditation to be used during the first phase of <a href=\"https:\/\/awakenedlife.love\/2024\/04\/12\/celebrating-nine-days-of-mother-divine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Navaratri<\/a>.

Kali Mata and Shiva both are strong about enlightenment, cleansing karma, activating Kundalini. Worship one or both if you wish to be enlightened. Shiva will clean your karma, Kali Mata will take care of your mind. Each skull (around her neck) represents a thought, and she eats it, garlands herself with it. When she cuts the head that\u2019s what it means, killing these limited thoughts, mind. She dances on that aspect of the human that is the ego, the personality. The heart of Kali Mata is nectar, sweetness, tenderness, softness. She is so devoted to her disciple, serving with firmness; how we become centered in body, in heart, in mind, which are shifting. Chant to Kali, healing happens fast when you open your chest, body. Openness \u2013 key to openness is within us. When energy comes up and you don\u2019t want to deal with it, dare, dare, dare.<\/i><\/p>\n<h5>\u00a0<\/h5>\n<h5>SELF-INQUIRY<\/h5>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Reflect on the following questions for the next three days, using a journal to record your thoughts.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Am I aware of my thoughts, feelings, and energy?
