Namaste beautiful one,
This meditation inspired by the lunar eclipse full moon in Pisces invites you in the midst of life's challenges,
Particularly in the area of your relationships with yourself and others,
To find equanimity and calm.
At a first lunar eclipse in a series as this is,
The subtle currents of our inner world can be stirred,
Bringing forth feelings of discontent that might otherwise remain dormant,
Yet it powerfully brings the opportunity for manifestation,
Healing and transformation.
Find a comfortable position and take a few deep breaths,
Filling yourself with life energy and on each exhale release any tension and worries you may be holding onto,
Settle yourself into this moment,
This time is for you.
Return to your natural soft breathing,
With each breath draw closer to the essence of your being,
The eternal flame that burns brightly within you.
Visualise this brilliant light at your core,
You are the light of consciousness shining ever brightly,
Illumining all that appears to and in you,
Let the eternal bliss that is your true nature wash over you,
Relax into this moment.
External fluctuations of good and challenging times are part of the transient world of form and experience,
Not the true essence of who you are.
Your true self beyond the body and mind remains untouched by these changes,
Steady and unshaken like the deep ocean beneath turbulent waves.
By grounding yourself in the awareness of your unchanging self,
You can navigate difficulties with a sense of inner calm and clarity,
Recognising that your deepest peace does not depend on external circumstances.
Through this recognition you can see more clearly that difficult relationships and life's challenges are not a source of lasting distress,
But an opportunity to deepen your realisation of your true self.
In identifying less with the ego,
A sense of contentment that is not easily disturbed can be nurtured.
This inner peace reflects in interactions,
Bringing harmony even to the most trying situations,
Transforming the way in which you relate to the world,
Deepening connections with others whilst maintaining your spiritual centredness.
We are all one.
This eclipse acts as a mirror,
Reflecting back to you your deepest longings,
Unmet needs and unresolved desires.
It can feel as if the very foundation of your emotional landscape is shifting.
In relationships this heightened awareness of lack or need can either create distance or forge stronger connections,
Depending on how you choose to respond.
The key lies in recognising that these emotions are amplified under the shadow of the eclipse and what you feel may not fully represent reality.
As underlying emotions rise to the surface,
They can bring with them a sense of urgency or desperation that clouds judgement.
If perception is distorted,
Small issues can seem much bigger and it's easy to misinterpret intentions,
Both your own and those of others.
I encourage you to remember that these emotions,
While intense,
Are transient,
They do not define your true self which remains untouched by these temporary storms.
Now is the time to gently turn inward and explore the emotional needs that have long been hidden beneath the surface,
Brought into the light by this eclipse.
These needs now ask for your attention and understanding.
Until the gong,
Ask yourself if they are calling for a shift,
A realignment with your true self.
This is a compassionate inquiry,
No judgement,
Simply a time to consider whether a transformation of your inner world,
Or perhaps your outer circumstances,
Is necessary to honour any newly uncovered truths.
Honouring the deeper truth that lies beyond fleeting emotions and developing a sense of equanimity can guide you through challenging times with wisdom and grace.
All is connected.
Bring your attention to your soft breathing.
Find balance between the demands of the physical realm and the pull of your spiritual self through spiritualising your thoughts and actions.
In this way,
Mind,
Body and soul can be nourished simultaneously,
Infusing your daily life with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
Balancing the need for order and routines with the freedom of creative expression,
Vision and awareness of your true self brings harmony.
Structure and discipline offer a solid foundation from which you can explore the boundless realms of your imagination and spiritual insight.
This balanced approach between routines and spontaneity,
Bringing spirituality into all you do,
Helps in seeing the beauty and potential in every situation.
Now is an opportune moment to let go of old patterns that no longer serve you and to embrace positive change.
All experiences,
Whether orderly or chaotic,
Are expressions of the same underlying reality,
That which you truly are.
Through spiritualising your actions and thoughts,
You become more aligned with this deeper truth,
Moving beyond limitations to embrace the transformation this brings to life.
Until the gong,
Contemplate how you might create a space where both your worldly responsibilities and spiritual aspirations can coexist in harmony.
The energy is ripe for manifesting your dreams,
Insights and creative efforts.
As the mind quiets and the heart opens,
The fruits of your inner work begin to materialise.
This period is one of healing and transformation,
Where your manifestations may come with a deep sense of purpose,
As if a new calling is emerging from within.
One that resonates deeply with who you are at your core,
Inviting you to serve in a way that is both fulfilling and aligned with your spiritual path.
Until the gong,
Listen closely for any subtle nudges and signs that are pointing you toward a new direction.
Trust the wisdom of your inner voice to guide you.
Until the chimes,
Embrace all that you are and all that you have with a deep sense of gratitude.
And in regards to your relationship with yourself,
Be it personality,
Health,
Body image etc.
In the vast expanse of pure consciousness,
The notion of perfection dissolves,
Revealing the beauty of our so-called imperfections.
It's perfectly okay to be perfectly imperfect,
Because any perceived flaws are just a part of the divine dance of life.
Embracing your perceived imperfections with compassion allows for release of the need for control,
Freeing you to flow with life as it is,
In all its messy,
Beautiful and ever-changing glory.
We are all one consciousness,
Traversing the hills and valleys of this lifetime.
One may be up while another is down.
Let's unite in compassion and harmony for the shared journey.
There is none other than you.
Direct your attention to your heart center.
Feel the light of consciousness that you are within and without.
Focus for a moment on the softness of your breath.
In your own time,
Gently open your eyes.
Thank you for meditating with me today.
May love,
Peace,
Joy and harmony in abundance light your path.
Shanti
