I was not planning to send out any more info on eclipses as I have written and made so much content in the past.
But some friends asked for tips and practices so sharing a few prior resources as well as my personal experiences from past eclipses.
Personal experience & practices:
While the visual element of experiencing an eclipse is spectacular, it's also an important time to be very intentional with your energy because of the impact it can have on your life as well as that of others.
Eclipses can bring up unresolved stuff in the form of emotions as well as activation of new aspects of you. Both are welcome and necessary.
You may feel emotions coming up, and others around you also may feel a lot, especially kids.
Hold a peaceful loving feeling in the heart and radiate it out, it allows for stability during this time.
Hold an intention, feeling in the heart of highest outcomes for every single person, humanity, kingdoms, elements, everything on the earth.
It's a powerful time to set out a positive intention as that can be amplified greatly, especially as there is so much collective focus on this eclipse.
Later in the day if you feel to let out emotions like crying, give yourself a safe space to do that, helps to discharge what may have built up.
In the Aug 2017 eclipse, I was very enthusiastic and felt quite a high leading up to the eclipse.
And at the time of totality, even though it was cloudy where we were watching it, the emotions suddenly rose from within and I spontaneously burst into tears.
This is very normal, if that happens to you or others around you, let it be, hold a compassionate space and let it happen, as there is resolution as well as activation happening in that moment.
In the days that follow, you may feel extra tired as the body adjusts to the massive amount of energy that is released.
Give yourself more sleep, rest and try to clear your schedule so you don't have to handle too many commitments.
Give yourself permission to do nothing. Or to take action on what you feel called to. More hydration may also be needed.
In the months and years that followed, I felt like my awakening accelerated a great deal.
I had the courage to move through some pretty big blocks and a lot of falseness fell away and my life path became clear and aligned to my higher purpose.
I did hold this intention very strongly when I was watching the 2017 eclipse, so I can share confidently that your intention matters a great deal.
Its a lovely lovely thing to be able to experience.
Be safe wherever you are watching and wishing you a beautiful time!
