This solar eclipse is a big deal on lots, lots of levels. You can expect to feel its effects on a personal level and on a national and international level.
- The last time an eclipse like this happened--only visible in totality from the United States-- was 1776. Seems significant to me!
- 7 years after this eclipse, another matching one going the opposite direction will be right over the US, and the X of this X-marks-the-spot will be right over the Adam-Ondi-Ahman area.
TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE?This is from
Yogi Bhajan's library of teachings on what to do during an eclipse:
YB:
Tomorrow is eclipse, is that right?
Student: Yes.
YB: You shall at that time be meditating "Har." Be graceful, try to... After so many hundred years, this thing has come here, and that time whosever shall remain still, shall benefit multiple, stillness is a practice, be still, then don't go out and see, what is happening? Nothing is happening but you will lose the eyesight if you go and see it naked eye. We are not seeing lot of it but that is the time of pure meditative mind because what happens is when eclipse has started coming the moon started coming in-between earth and sun, the entire magnetic energy, the kilowatt frequency of the magnetic energy changes. You might have practiced all these days, lot of hassles, lot of irritation, lot of pimples, lot of body problem, blood problem, menstruation getting upside down (?), all that stuff, you might be thinking what is going on? After
tomorrow it will change, for some for the better, for some for the worst.
Today is a great day to be still and to meditate. The moon and sun coming together is a powerful energy for uniting what has been divided within, for harnessing the power of both the masculine and feminine energies.
The link to Yogi Bhajan's lecture has a whole lesson on crisis of personality.
But today is a great day to meditate, to realize what you need to let go of, and to let go of it. Today is a great day to prepare for new beginnings. The new beginnings are already beginning. But today is a great day to be aware of them, to welcome them, to choose to face them without fear, to face them with acceptance.
No matter what these endings and new beginnings mean for you personally--you can handle them with dignity and grace.
Please send me any questions or thoughts or comments--I love to hear from you!
I may do an eclipse session later today if I can make the time. If I do I'll send out another email about it. But in the meantime: stillness, meditation, introspection. Grace, faith, dignity.
