How to take care of yourself in eclipse season?

Have you been feeling extra emotional and sensitive in the last few days?

I had pretty rough time last week.

It’s the Eclipse season.

The Total Solar Eclipse is on April 8, 2024.

Total Solar Eclipses are extremely rare.

This will be the last total solar eclipse visible from North America until 2044.

During a Solar Eclipse, there is a shift in the vibration and frequency of energies on Earth.

Your balance may be affected.

You may feel emotional and also feel extra sensitive to the emotions of the people around you.

On physical level, eclipses can deplete our energies.

This event has terrified our ancestors for millions of year.

Imagine having 2 nights in a day without having any idea of the physical cause of the eclipse.

It was a emotional and traumatic experience for our ancestors for millions of years.

Why do you feel so emotional?

Earth is a watery ball being pulled right and left by the gravity of sun and moon.

It turns slightly ovoid with water swelling to the sides.

This effect creates the tides in the ocean.

Eclipses amplify this effect, pulling strongly on the waters of the earth and the waters in our bodies.

We are made up of 70% water (both humans and earth).

Water is the element of emotions as well.

So it’s common for many of us to feel things more deeply around this time.

How to take care of yourself during eclipse?

Having a daily practice helps you ride the waves of life and balance our energy levels.

When you have daily practice or system, it helps you ground down.

It helps you to come back to your center.

A daily practice can include:

• Yoga

• Meditation

• Journaling (self-reflection)

• Deep breathing

• Connection with Nature

• Intentional rest (don’t be on your phone or anything)

Doing these practices every day for a consistent period of time has long lasting effects.

Your body, mind and spirit gets more resilient towards the waves of life.

You feel more calm.

Our life is full of ups and downs.

When you have a solid practice, your practice lifts you up on the low days.

Behind every emotion there is something more hidden within you.

Eclipses bring them up.

It’s time to reflect on it.

Eclipses are a great time to release and let go.

It is a powerful time for healing, according to Native American shamans.

If you are sensitive soul, be gentle with yourself and practice lots of self-love and self-care.

Self-love is doing what your heart needs, not just what it wants.

Take rest and good care of yourself.
