As our consciousness rises and we awaken, we touch life more deeply and we can begin to see the true inter-connectedness of the Whole. During such an intense experience, we feel such a plethora of emotional peaks and troughs as we seek out balance and understanding. Of course, sometimes we are not meant to understand, we are meant to trust, but as human beings, we need to understand for that is our way.
Standing on the precipice between where we once
were and where we want to be, we can feel too scared to breathe; too scared to
move. We can feel excited but terrified in the same nano-second. Our senses
intensify and we begin to feel so much more than we ever thought possible; like
having no skin or no filter, and this can feel awe-inspiring, but it can feel
overwhelmingly profound at the same time.
These are confusing times, and we find ourselves
surrounded by sleepwalkers yet to awaken or stir; this can feel isolating and
it can feel frustrating, but we have to trust that, as individuals, we each
have our own path of awakening (or not). This happens in our own time and in
our own way; all we can do is to become conduits or channels for love, bliss
and joy, and inspire and empower others to do the same.
Even for those of us around the world who will not
see the forthcoming Solar Eclipse, the shifts are significant and not to be
ignored, for on an energetic and spiritual level, this age old dance between
the Sun and the Moon has a powerful impact on the Earth and on each of us, both
individually and collectively. We are all energy, and we are all entwined and
part of the Universal Whole. During a Solar Eclipse, the energy flow is tweaked
and changed akin to someone turning up the voltage on an amp box. Such powerful
shifts can feel like electricity coursing through our veins as it is so intense
and profound.
As the light of the Sun fades during an eclipse,
much comes to the surface to be healed and renewed. Like a mini Dark Night of
the Soul, we have to go within to face the depths, the darkness and be without
fear. We have to experience the true depth of feeling as our filters fade and
we open up to the amazing and incredible light of a new day of consciousness
awareness.
This is a time of awakening; a time to embrace the
darkness in order to move beyond polarities to a place of centeredness and
balance. Of course, we all know that just as the light fades, it soon returns,
but we can work with this powerful time to shift our focus, energy, thoughts
and intentions towards a new way of living and being, not just for ourselves as
individuals, but collectively as well. At the same time, we can extend this to
the Earth, her other residents and the Universe – we are all part of the One
after all.
This forthcoming Eclipse helps us to embrace the
darkness and to realise that there is nothing to fear within. Once we can truly
be free of fear, we stop seeing the world and life in terms of stark polarity
(dark and light), for we see the fuller picture. We can then begin to embrace
our true power and our true essence in order to move beyond definition in order
to re-shape and re-create the very fabric of our existence.
This is a powerful time to pause, meditate, heal
and release as we prepare to ride the wave through a myriad of cosmic events
over the days, weeks, months and years to come...
