This is a meditation for the solar eclipse in Aries.
Take a comfortable seat or lie down in a space where you feel safe and undisturbed.
Close your eyes gently.
Begin to draw your awareness inward,
Leaving behind the noise of the day.
Take a deep inhale through your nose and as you do feel the air fill your lungs,
Expanding your chest and belly.
Hold for a moment and exhale slowly through your mouth,
Releasing tension.
Let's do this again.
Inhale,
Filling up with calming energy,
Briefly holding and exhale,
Letting go of any weight you're carrying.
Allow your breath to settle into its natural rhythm,
Soft and effortless.
With each exhale,
Imagine a wave gently washing over you,
Clearing away anything that no longer serves you.
Now bring your attention to your body.
Notice where you are connected to the earth,
Your feet,
Your back,
Your hands resting on your lap.
Feel the support beneath you.
Aries,
The sign of the ram,
Symbolizes strength and independence.
As you sit here,
Imagine the energy of Aries flowing through you,
A warm empowering light.
It's bold,
Vibrant and unapologetic,
Urging you to honor yourself.
Let this energy guide you to scan your body.
Notice where do you feel resistance or tightness.
Breathe into those spaces.
Allow the light of Aries to soften and release the tension.
Remember,
Prioritizing your well-being isn't selfish,
It's an act of love for yourself and the world.
As the solar eclipse draws near,
You may notice old emotions,
Memories or frustrations coming to the surface.
Visualize these as leaves in a stream.
They float gently,
Appearing in your mind's eye.
Observe these emotions,
Memories or frustrations without judgment.
They are here to be acknowledged and released.
Take a moment to breathe deeply.
As you exhale,
Picture the stream carrying those leaves further downstream,
Making space in your heart and mind.
You are not bound to what has been.
Each exhale is a gift,
A chance to let go and welcome renewal.
A solar eclipse symbolizes turning points and new beginnings.
Imagine your energy clearing like clouds parting to reveal the sun.
And now bring to mind a vision of yourself,
Resourced,
Clear and aligned.
You are ready to step into the next chapter of your life.
Step into the next chapter of your journey.
See yourself standing tall,
Confident and open to all the possibilities that await.
Whisper to yourself,
I am ready for what's to come.
I am grounded.
I am aligned.
I am free.
I am ready for what's to come.
I am grounded.
I am aligned.
I am free.
I am ready for what's to come.
I am grounded.
I am aligned.
I am free.
Feel the warmth of this truth resonate within you,
Deep into your core.
And slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the room.
Feel the connection your body has with the surface you're sitting or lying on.
And gently wriggle your fingers and toes,
Making any other small movements that bring awakefulness back to your sense of self.
And whenever you feel ready,
Slowly let your eyes open,
Knowing you are exactly where you need to be.
Carry the strength and clarity of this meditation with you and remember,
You are your first and most important act of service.
