🌹 The Living Goddess Podcast 🌹 KALI Episode #9

Wild One, In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the primordial, primal darkness of Goddess Kali. Known for her wild appearance and unapologetic force, Kali is feared and revered in equal measure. We wanted to dive into that… why is she so feared? And if she’s that scary, why is she so intensely revered? This conversation was an organic one that spoke less about her creator story and more about her unconditional, protective, wild love; her symbolism and sacred presence; destruction and fertility; and her messages about fear and authenticity. We spoke about… ♥️ Who is Kali Ma and where does she come from? ♥️ What she offers her devotees with her presence ♥️ How she tends to (devours!) our fears and insecurities ♥️ Her passion for authenticity and truth no matter what ♥️ The symbols she wears and how they relate to language, sound, mantra, the sub/un/conscious minds, and ego ♥️ Her conversation with Coral about returning to our instinctive, primal roots in order to trust ourselves and each other so we can collaborate together ♥️ The difference between compliance and collaboration ♥️ The symbolism of the poking tongue and how that has landed deeply for us both ♥️ The energy of June and how Kali can assist us with the transformation in our lives Coral shares this poem ‘In the Desert’ by Stephen Crane: In the desertI saw a creature, naked, bestial,Who, squatting upon the ground,Held his heart in his hands,And ate of it.I said, “Is it good, friend?”“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered; “But I like it“Because it is bitter,“And because it is my heart.” Also mentioned in the show: Autobiography of a Yogi [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/639864.Autobiography_of_a_Yogi] & Elena’s modern confessional: The Freedom Room.

So much love, ♥️ Kris & Coral This is a public episode.

🌹 The Living Goddess Podcast 🌹 MOTHER MARY Episode #8

Sweet Soul, This week Coral and Kris shared a unique conversation about Mother Mary. Not about the Mary of religions, and not Mary from anyone else’s ‘spiritual’ perspective, just the presence of Mother Mary that we have both come to know that lives and breathes as earth’s own Guardian Angel. We spoke about… 🩵 Coral’s uncommon visions of Mother Mary & her messages 🩵 The nature of Mary’s presence and the gift she gives with her energy 🩵 ‘Cosmic Mary’ and a geometrical/galactic perspective of Mary’s protection 🩵 May’s Mystical honouring of Mary in religious and spiritual seekers alike 🩵 Mary’s ‘Temple of the Sacred’ where all can adventure to for healing 🩵 Kris’ experience in this temple and the synchronicities that floored us 🩵 Alternative meanings of ‘immaculate conception’ and ‘virgin’ 🩵 An invocation for Mary and a prayer for all (Please note this episode has some mature content.) It was a fluid conversation with so much heart and soul, an eye-opener for anyone curious about the life of Mother Mary and her legacy on earth. One of the most graceful and miracle-launching goddesses that you could ever meet… and she’s so very accessible to all. We hope you enjoy this conversation and connection, and we want to encourage you to reach out to Mother Mary anytime you’re needing healing, nurturing, protection, and a miracle.

🌹 The Living Goddess Podcast 🌹 SEDNA Episode #7

Radiant One, We are honoured to share this story with you. Almost completely unknown outside of Alaska and Canada, Sedna’s story will move you into the depths of love, beauty, tragedy, healing, and community. Sedna begins her life with ease. This princess, daughter of a king, grows up to be remarkably beautiful, but has a hard time following traditions when looking for a suitable husband. One day, after many suitors have been dismissed, a man comes along, overflowing with adoration and empty promises. She falls for the manipulation and he takes her away to live on an island where the truth of who he is becomes apparent. Not only is she betrayed by this ‘man’, but also by her father during a rescue. Sedna’s story doesn’t have a happy ending. There is no resurrection here, only the dark womb of the ocean and the deep wounding of broken trust. As Coral says of Sedna and how she reflects aspects of life’s difficult times, “Some wounds don’t close; they become portals of creation.” In this episode we share: 🧜🏽‍♀️ Why some powerful journeys in life, like Sedna’s, don’t have a ‘happy’ ending 🧜🏽‍♀️ The symbolic story of Sedna falling to her depths & learning to breathe 🧜🏽‍♀️ How we often need to create our own integration, rather than finding closure 🧜🏽‍♀️ How Kris’ ancestors speak to her through this story and other related messages 🧜🏽‍♀️ Being conscious of old traditions and lineages, and making a heartfelt choice 🧜🏽‍♀️ Ways that the Inuits still connect with Sedna in their rituals 🧜🏽‍♀️ How Sedna calls us to live with a pure heart and high integrity 🧜🏽‍♀️ The power of ‘becoming’ who we are meant to be through tragedy 🧜🏽‍♀️ An invitation for navigating the energy of April We hope you enjoy this episode and hopefully you can feel the story of Sedna moving you, opening your heart, soothing you from the inside out. She’s a powerful Goddess who is alive in so many traditions to this day, and we know from experience that she is communicating with us, too. Thank you for being here.

Hello Luminous Heart, The full moon eclipse was a wild time to record our lates podcast, a conversation with Goddess Lakshmi. She is the Hindu Goddess of wealth, fortune, abundance, beauty, fertility, and prosperity. Lakshmi teaches us devotion and connection to the true realm of abundance. She also shows us - through her myths and mystery - how to strengthen the divine masculine within to support a life of divine feminine beauty and wealth. We seeped into the primordial milk and spoke about… 🪷 Lakshmi’s origin story & what she’s showing us in her choices 🪷 Embodying sacred geometry and the energy of Lakshmi 🪷 Money stories from our ancestry - how to heal them through ritual 🪷 Understanding the importance of grace, beauty, & nurturing 🪷 Conditioning around money, success, & purpose 🪷 The connection between the sacred Lotus, Venus, & Inanna 🪷 The joy & freedom of making money on our own terms We hope you enjoy this awakening of Lakshmi within you. We’d love you to share it with friends or leave us a comment to let us know what inspired you the most. As always, our deepest thanks to the Goddess for her Love and this heart-led calling.

🌹 The Living Goddess Podcast 🌹 BRIGID Episode #5

Hello friends, Episode five was recorded two days ago on Brigid’s Feast Day, which is also Imbolc in the northern hemisphere. Coral has a deep connection with Brigid - who is honestly one of the most accessible, nurturing, and warm Goddesses you could ever connect to. It was such a beautiful energy to commune with her together and learn more from Coral who has honoured the Feast Day with her family for many years. The Goddess of Poetry is also the Goddess of Mourning. And while they may seem like two very different extremes, both are deep and healing emotional expressions. Brigid’s symbols include fire and water, which we speak to in the conversation, as well as her relationship to weaving and the significance of the pagan cross symbol. Coral, who is a wildhearted artist, speaks directly to the creative spirit within all of us and shares the importance of imperfection and failure along our creative paths. We also leave you with some thoughts on February’s energy, including how to move into the Year of the Horse authentically. We hope you enjoy this episode! We loved creating it for you.
