I awoke this morning evaluating my feeling and something was a little different than most morning. Today was the day of the eclipse, the Solar Eclipse. On the Seventh of this month was the radar fixed on the lunar eclipse which reflected an emotional value. Today, I sensed my feelings and my thinking was as clear and I began to notice an awakening stillness to a silent mind and heart. I even had a vision seeing myself in the middle of calmness as though I was in the eye of a hurricane watching everything around me suffer. Well, I am in the middle of a hurricane. Immediately, I knew that I was in the middle of the ‘eye of the storm’ where one lives in perpetually peace, to the darkness of fear, the anger of the past one may hold too. You see no matter where one lives, you’re in a hurricane; one lives in fear, confusion, anger, and lack of trust with self and others.
The Solar Eclipse essentially, in this case, crossing and covering over the NW graces major point all along the central States down to the East coast to give us many shadows and excitements as well. So what is the significance of these eclipses? The ‘Umbra,’ as it is known also means Sombra in Spanish; the shadow. The moon blocks out the rays or sunlight to in effect, give us an opportunity to glance at our own (psychological and emotional) Sombras/shadows to review and shed our old worn out fear-based patterns to merge into that which carries and nurtures us. We honor our journey to effectively evaluate our shadowy nature, at the same time it’s only a matter now that we will experience the shadowy parts touching aspects to our personality that must change. The cosmos will not let us get away with it. As we enter the new light, darkness is overcome and the sun returns to once again do its job in sustaining life. And as we come out from the eclipse, we can now shine with the grace of the Sun. Om Shanti Prem…
