Om NAMAH SHIVAYA

Quick one from me on the day of days: Today we eclipse! The moon is exactly full at 12:34pm AEST. During this partial lunar eclipse we can lean on the Vedas for support. The moon in Purva Bhadrapada grants the shakti to activate the fire of spirituality within you (and others). Rudra (the fierce side to Shiva - think lightning, storms and chaos) has much to say today about the energy in and around us during this celestial event. This is a great time for spiritual sadhana (practice) - whether that be meditation, chanting, pranayam (breathwork), yoga etc. It is said when we chant over the time of the eclipse the shakti is amplified 1000 times. So if you are losing your head a little simple remedy today is 'Om Namah Shivaya' to create clarity, peace and detachment. In fact one of the symbolisms here is a onefooted deity which encourages balancing to create harmony in the mind/spirit - ie tree pose/half moon pose/eagle pose etc in yoga so standing on one leg can help you today.

I realise I was perhaps a little keyboard heavy with my last post propagating more fear than is needed (what is this channel 7/9/10 news?) - this can be a really transformative and illuminating time for us (and tremendously quickly) if we keep our wits about us. Take some deep breaths, balance and enjoy the energy. When we harness the power of the universe we can make magic. Comment below if you need any guidance or tips and I wish you a safe journey through this.

Stay light,
