Relaxing Psychic Practice and Solar Eclipse

by Joy Star

The New Moon Solar Eclipse is upon us all and that means that there’s an alignment for something new in our lives. When a solar eclipse is occurring, the moon is casting a shadow over the Earth which is said to symbolize a meaning of overshadowing the past to produce a new transformational growth.

It will, they say, energize the life of ambitious seeds which have been planted, cultivate the progress of projects that are initiated.

It feels (to me) as if there is an opening, a channel for new information to be instilled in the DNA of MIND/BODY/SPIRIT so-to-speak. It’s like that moment of breathlessness between the inhale and exhale when everything stops but some type of exchange occurs. (Inhale the good, exhale the bad.) Hard to put into words really; but I feel it that way. And also there’s this bobble now between past, present and future as if somehow something within us negotiates with the universe for the next step in our lives.

A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon and Earth align and we see the Moon moving across the face of the Sun. This new moon in Scorpio is a reset point. Scorpio says, it’s time to step up and be seen, speak your truths, share your gifts of wisdom, invite in your relationship with the invisible world, and be the master of your life from that place that is deep within your belly and right from the depth that Scorpio rules.

Matters related to intimacy, control, power, money, and sharing will be a strong focus on a personal level in this next phase of life. This eclipse is about new beginnings regarding all of these matters. This eclipse tightly conjuncts Venus, and is supported by Mars and Neptune. The conjunction to Venus emphasizes and reinforces a challenge to our value system and asks us to look deeply into the eyes and hearts of those we love and see the value in that connection.

Not everyone will feel the effect of the eclipse with the same intensity however. Those whose personal planets are activated by the degree of the eclipse will most feel its effects on a personal level.

More in harmony with the theme of this week’s newsletter, Scorpio involves learning to dig deeper into the mysteries around us.

Yet, right now the energy does support the momentary slow-down where we can maintain a focus on our own senses in the present moment.

Focusing the senses is so much easier to do when we’re out in nature but we can remain clear and focused in the present moment anywhere. And if you think about it, that is what’s necessary to be able to tap into our intuition, higher mind, spirit guides, etc.

In order to take full advantage of our intuition, it is important for our senses to remain clear and focused in the present moment.

I think perhaps that my own love for Buddhist philosophy and Nature Itself links to present moment awareness.

The sky is blue, the grass is green and water flows – the observing of the nature of reality without adding a projection, an opinion, a judgment. This is present moment awareness—not past, no future. Simple. The sky is blue, the grass is green, water flows. Period. Add nothing.

When we can spend time in that type of consciousness, our senses are all heightened. There is a highly focused perception. Every sense becomes more highly attuned. Sounds become clearer. Colors more intense. Objects take on a new dimension of depth. It’s like being born into the world for the first time. The awareness becomes unified and connected with everything around you.

Just to stop at any time of the day and night and ask yourself what you are conscious of—What am I aware of right now? Look around and notice colors, sounds, the temperature, any fragrance or smell? Do you have a taste in your mouth? Just be right there and aware.

If outside, notice the breeze—notice the feel of the wind on your face and the feel of your body against the elements. Experience whatever scene you are in with all your senses. Then close your eyes and concentrate on the inner experiences and notice the connections of the inner world with the outer.

Sometimes you can play with this awareness. Focus only on sound for a while and then let everything unify and then focus only on what you see, omitting sound and other senses. Then unify again. Perceive things one at a time and then perceive the wholeness of unifying all things. It happens that you can then perceive the unity and know when you are tuned into it and when you are not.

This, as just described, is a very relaxing psychic practice to do and helps you to let go of stress and to release projections.

It also enhances your psychic receptivity by opening your higher intuitive energy centers. Speaking of which, I’m going to cut this week’s newsletter short and go out into nature on this beautiful fall day try to work in harmony with the New Moon Solar Eclipse Energy right now.

Let the new imprints happen! And let me give my own input by planting my new seed of intention for this next lunar cycle!
