Dissolving Overwhelm Meditation
When feelings of overwhelm block your path, find your way to center with this meditation.
You will need:
- A place of sanctuary
- Grounding tools (we recommend a spritz or two of Starstuff!)
Imagine yourself sitting in a dark forest; the Moon has eclipsed the Sun, and the lights have gone out. Nonetheless, you can sense a stillness, a calm quiet that has settled over the trees and the forest animals. You may not see what surrounds you, but you can feel it. Feel the leaves and grass and dirt in your hands, sense the trees' ancient wisdom.
Expand your senses past the forest, feel all the different areas and relationships that you have let your energy stray to — now call it back, babe. Feel your inner flame expand as you bring that energy back into your body, reclaiming it as your own.
Once you feel your energy back in your body, seal it.
Create a barrier from other energies leaking their way in. This is your body, your energy, your magic.
If you feel called, walk through this metaphoric forest with your inner light shining bright. Face those shadows, and journal through any large feelings or questions that have come up for you during this eclipse season.
Eclipses are a part of our natural world, just as you
are. Though they may bring change, or uncertainty, we are closely related to the magic it produces. Return to the roots of your pleasure: rest in whatever ways you can, sink into joy and know that you are allowed to cherish it.
