Total Solar Eclipse - part 2
To read about the astrology of the 8th April Eclipse, please go to PREVIOUS blogpost
Today we were discussing our plans for the Eclipse and whether we needed a crystal grid but Sue wasn’t feeling particularly inspired. Then, this evening we received an email from a dear friend who has travelled from Denmark to USA to work with the energies of the Eclipse, asking if Sue had made a crystal mandala. She is staying with another dear friend, both of whom have travelled with us on Sacred Journeys many times - often for Eclipses! So, we went to the Crystal Barn and waited for the mandala to come.
Obsidian Mirror - the Void, all potentials, hidden depths, confronting the deep shadow and taboos of what still needs to be healed from the past
Malachite sphere - revealing and healing deeply hidden patterns by realigning ourselves with the natural world
Ice Calcite - clearing, refreshing, light
Pink Petalite - a gentle Angelic energy with a high frequency, associated with the higher heart. Very gentle but deep.
Imperial Gold Topaz - Sun energy. Uplifting, activating, highly spiritual and inspiring.
Quartz crystals - their purpose in this crystal grid is to move the energy outwards
Turquoise - General healer uniting Heaven & Earth
Peridot - clearing, cleansing, detoxifying. Brings optimism and hope.
Dream Quartz - to dream in new possibilities
Agni Manitite - quick transformative energy with a holding quality
Celestite - pure, celestial, inspirational, expansive, limitless
Selenite - pure light, can create realities beyond our understanding
SUGGESTED MEDITATION FOR TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE
The focus is on the Sun, Moon and Chiron, which are exactly conjunct to a minute of arc.
Begin by focussing the Sun's golden light into the Heart chakra and let it radiate through the blood to all parts of the body.
Then bring the attention to the Alta Major chakra at the root of the nose, and draw in the Moon's energy, into the spinal fluid and down the spine.
Feel it merging with the Sun's energy at the Heart chakra, then continue down to the Sacral Chakra.
At the Sacral Chakra imagine a pool of clear water, reflecting the image of the eclipsed Sun, in your belly.
Breathe into that image several times.
After a while turn the attention down to the Sacrum / Root centre and imagine the swirling rainbow of the Kundalini / Chiron.
With the breath, draw it up in a rainbow spiral, going to every part of the body, especially those areas where you are holding unresolved wounds from the past.
When the spiralling energy reaches the Crown Chakra, allow it to open, to release the past and then receive the healing light of the heavens,
to flow in a spiral down through your entire body and anchor that healing potential into the Earth grids beneath your feet.
You can repeat the spiralling up and down several times as the shadow passes, then after the eclipse shadow has passed over
imagine and feel it flowing out along the energy lines, to the whole planet.
