KALI GODDESS: Redefining Menopause

Updated: Jul 27

Kali is a picture of a goddess that has a powerful feminine energy. She is one of the ten Mahavidyas and she is also the goddess of time and change (ten approaches of knowledge or great wisdom – ten forms of Divine Mothers). Kali once again symbolizes the transformation in life which often happens from the inside and may not always be visible from the outside. This transformation is usually seen as the birth of something else. Kali's transformation is also shown through creativity, spirituality, and intuition. Women will reach their full potential of this transformation during their golden age of menopause.

 

In ancient societies, they embraced this phase and celebrated their elders’ wisdom, intuition, and guidance. In today’s society that sees menopause as something to dread, we – women – need to shift the mindset on seeing menopause as the new beginning rather than the end of something. It’s the gateway into the most empowering phase of life.

 

Celebrating the Golden Age


As we know, the menopause journey is different from one woman to another. As informed by Dr. Gabrielle Francis, a naturopathic doctor known as The Herban Alchemist and advisor to Veracity, before the age of 40, women have very high estrogen and progesterone levels and those hormones support you to mother. It will affect us in such a way with the inability to see our own needs because we are wired to take care of other people. Even if we do not have kids, women under the age of 40 are very focused on caring for other people, worrying about other people, or needing to be needed.


During the menopause journey, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormones (LH) rise. These are called the “queen hormones” because they wire women to get in touch with their spirituality and their creativity. A woman may feel that she starts to think about her own needs first for the first time. They may also become very creative, very spiritual, and very intuitive. This shift is necessary to prioritize our own needs and it is essential for women as it allows us to thrive – if we are willing to welcome and embrace these new feelings.
