Welcome,
Dear hearts,
To this meditation where we will meet the Kaliak.
This meditation is designed to help you to connect with the ancient goddess,
The Kaliak,
Revered as the chrome goddess of transformation,
Wisdom and the cycles of life and death.
It's suitable for times of change,
Introspection and grounding.
Before we begin,
You may want to take yourself to a quiet and comfortable space where you will not be disturbed.
And maybe light a candle,
Preferably in the colour of dark blue,
Grey or black.
You may also want to burn some incense such as cedar,
Sage or pine to evoke a sense of the wild outdoors and have the Kaliak associated objects with you as well maybe,
Such as stones or branches.
So now it is time to get yourself comfortable,
Either sitting or lying down,
And connect in with the Earth's energy.
And closing your eyes now,
And bring your awareness to your breath,
Gently observing your inhales and exhales.
And let's take some deeper breaths together now,
Breathing in through the nose,
And sighing out through the mouth.
Breathing in through the nose,
And sighing out through the mouth.
Continuing with this breath,
And with each exhale that you take,
Feel your body relax a little more.
Feel it soften and release,
Just letting anything go with your out breath that no longer serves you.
And now allowing your breath to come back to its natural rhythm.
So we're now going to call in the Kaliak.
Repeat these words after me,
Either silently or out loud.
Kaliak,
Wise crone of the mountains,
Keeper of the seasons,
And mistress of change.
I call upon you,
Ancient one.
Guide me with your wisdom.
Ground me with your strength.
Lead me through the shadows to the light.
And I'd like you to now visualize that you are standing on a windswept mountainside,
And you are wrapped in a warm cloak.
You are surrounded by rugged rocks and patches of snow,
With the distant sound of a roaring waterfall.
The air is crisp on your face,
The sky is grey,
And a mist begins to appear.
As you walk,
You feel the earth beneath your feet,
Solid and unyielding,
As the wind brushes past your face.
The mist thickens.
You cannot see clearly,
But you can make out in the distance,
A cloaked figure emerging.
It is the Kaliak,
Gracing you with her powerful and grounding presence.
Her eyes glimmer with ancient knowledge,
And her weathered face reflects the wisdom of countless ages.
She invites you to sit beside her small fire that she has kindled on the rocky ground,
And asks why you have come to meet her today.
It is now time to ask her for guidance,
Maybe on letting go,
Navigating transformation,
Or understanding your deeper truths.
Be open to her guidance now.
Your time with the Kaliak is now nearing its end.
You find your gaze is now drawn to the flickering flames,
Where for this last minute with her,
She shows you symbols,
Scenes,
Or any last minute messages now meant for you.
These may appear as images,
Feelings,
Or even words.
She gazes into the flames now.
Your time with the Kaliak is now coming to a close.
She touches your forehead with her staff,
And a cool energy spreads through you.
This energy brings clarity,
Focus,
And the strength to embrace change.
She nods,
Signalling her approval,
And now begins to fade into the mist,
Her wisdom now remaining with you.
Giving your thanks to the Kaliak,
You now turn away from the fire,
And walk back to where your journey began,
Back to the rocky mountainside.
The mist begins to lift,
And you can feel that cool breeze brushing your skin once again.
The vision begins to fade away now,
As you start to return back to your physical body and surroundings.
Taking some deeper,
More conscious breaths in now.
Slowly bringing your awareness back to the room.
Bringing some gentle movement back to your body now.
Maybe wiggling your fingers and toes.
Moving your body in whichever way feels best for you.
You may want to take a nice,
Big stretch,
Just to gently bring you back now.
And we will close today's meditation with these final words.
Thank you,
Kaliak.
Wise Crone of the Land.
Your strength and wisdom are within me.
I walk forward with courage and clarity.
May this meditation help you to embrace transformation,
Find clarity,
And connect with the ancient wisdom of the Kaliak.
Blessed Be.
