Meditation: Transmuting Anger with Kali

The Courageous Path

This is a meditation to identify, process and release anger with the energy of the Divine goddess Kali. With her blue light, we tunnel into the emotion and uncover its layers. We begin to help the core center (often the inner child) heal. When we think of someone who is angry, we think of someone who is out of control, who we need to be afraid of.. to protect ourselves from. It’s someone we may worry is not safe. But that is often uncontrolled anger. What I’m talking about is simmering anger. In the past few years, many of us have experienced these sorts of emotions ranging from outright, inner rage to a mild, general irritation. How do we move on from anger and sadness? All of these emotions can lead to overwhelm, lashing out at others, internalizing or a sense of paralysis. Thankfully there are ways to cope. The energy of Divine Feminine goddesses like Kali can help.. Since we are building our new reality as a human collective without any cohesive leadership, we are left to manage this on our own, supporting each other as soul friends. Yet, the real healing and the real answers lie from going within, from looking at our patterns, at the parts that are just stories created by social conditioning and trauma and that aren’t helping us anymore. This is difficult to do, and most people just don’t do it. We are being asked to go deep within to heal. No one else is going to save us or do the work for us. As for me and the anger, I have various ways I have coped with it. I have written about it, talked about it, and I have been known to scream in the middle of the woods at times. I also exercise regularly, which helps a lot. I go into my Akashic Records to understand where they are coming from, at the source in past lives and in childhood. I am also learning to accept the anger and the sadness, and to let them be. They have information for me, and that information is valuable. Eventually, as I listen to these feelings, they start to fade away, as their services are no longer required. Still, the best way to move through and on from these emotions is to tap into your own intuition to guide you. Through meditation comes answers. Prayer is asking… meditation is listening. In the meantime, give yourself permission to FEEL. Allow the emotions to be expressed. You don’t have to let everyone know what’s going on, but a few trusted people can be there to support you. You are safe.
