10 Tips To Support You During The Eclipse Season
Deepening your relationship with your ancestors. The planets are also our ancestors, deepening our relationship with them can make us get closer to ourselves. For example, by creating an Altar and making offerings for Venus or Jupiter or the moon or the Sun you are deepening your connection to them and honoring them.
Grounding, calling our energy back, and protection work are essential for being present and receiving information from Spirit. Some of us based on our makeup are more grounded than others. Nonetheless, we all need extra grounding during times of eclipse chaos to avoid overstimulation and psychic attacks. Ground through meditation, flower essences, herbal teas, or hanging out with trees, Call your energy back from projects, locations, conversations, and people. Do a protection prayer, carry protective herbs/amulets, or work with protective crystals.
Clearing your energy - Keep your day-to-day clearing practice but beware of depleting your energy from all the deep clearing. When you feel depleted take a step back and allow your body to rest.
Clearing spiritual items like crystals, intimate wands/toys, and jewelry with the help of the elements and energetic sprays - I am someone who’s not the best at keeping up with clearing my crystals or jewelry. That's why I use eclipses to clear and reset them with water, smoke, and/or clearing sprays. To prepare and charge them during the following New Moon Cycle. I recommend this crystal cleaning spray from The Flower Apothecary.
Working with Flower Essences and Tree Essences like:
Lavender - For gentle clearing and support for an overstimulated nervous system.
Olive - to promote overall safety in the body.
Oak - to ground you and support you in your expansion.
Practicing actively surrendering by learning how to communicate with spirit - eclipses are times when our concept of control is challenged. So forcing things into existence won’t be beneficial in order to receive our highest blessings. But
Moving energy through the following practices can be very helpful to support our vessels as we are hit with lots of energy and information during eclipses:
Journaling(automatic writing) without any judgment to process emotions and thoughts that are coming up. Also, reflecting on the past 6 months by looking through old journals.
Moving the body as a form of prayer- whether it's slow or active movement like dancing, running, hit exercise, yin yoga, or slow yummy stretches can all help us move energies and get closer to spirit. My dear sibling @gentelspells is doing a #Move4Artsakh Fundraiser for Armenians in Artsakh, participate to bring awareness, and/or donate if you have the means and capacity. Like I always say we are stronger together.
Clean your space - during times of intensity and divine chaos cleaning and organizing our space can be a great way to work with the energies of the eclipse season. This is a great way to make room for the new energetic cycle.
Stay inside and avoid going outside to come face to face with the energies of the eclipse. The eclipse energy is not to be harnessed unless you have a grounded practice/relationship with it. But, if you are new I recommend staying inside and tending to your spaces and vessels.
Be prepared to come face to face with your obsessions and shadow aspects of the self - addictions, insecurities, habits, and people-pleasing tendencies are likely to come up and take center stage during eclipse cycles. Themes that might come up for you are the house you have Libra in, the house and sign where Venus is in, and the houses and planets opposing them. I invite you to meet them with gentleness and care.
Work with a practitioner for extra support - an astro reading, a coffee reading (work with me), a clearing session, or anything that resonates.
Remember that these energies are here temporarily and the intensity will pass as we welcome a new 6-month cycle. Get ready to do the work and show up exactly as you are, Spirit will meet you there.
