IThe little Eclipse that
Could So much was written about the
summer solstice solar eclipse of two weeks ago, but
few are addressing the lunar eclipse that falls on
July 5. (today) I notice that most people
'feel' or are aware of the impact of solar
eclipses. Events in their life stop or start more
quickly, sometimes there is a great amount of
activity around projects or themes of learning. The
lunar eclipses tend to permeate into and through
life cycles, melding with what is going on. Their
impact is more behind the scenes. This particular eclipse has a
very gentle energy associated with it. As quiet and
unassuming as this energy is, it is also as potent.
I'm finding that it is, perhaps, the most potent
eclipse yet. I won't be suprised at all if most of
us (including myself) want to spend today sleeping
and meditating and simply soaking in the
energies. Since the energies of any
eclipse begin months ahead of time and linger until
months afterward, don't worry if you've missed the
big moment. Simply tune into whatever gentle, soft
energies you are noticing, especially related to
the earth, to living plants and animals. Most
likely that is the energy which is becoming more
available to us, in part due to this
eclipse. For several years we've been
opening more and more to the sacred feminine side -
and this eclipse is part of a series of celestial
alignments that are bringing the compassionate
feminine into focus. Watch for more and more about
this energy - which I would call an aspect of Quan
Yin. Remembering that energies are
drawn through us in response to need, it may be
that this sacred feminine is being drawn through us
in response to the political and social climate of
the times. In paradoxical thought, if it weren't
for the political and social agenda favoring the
profane and worldly masculine, the sacred feminine
might not be drawn through us and out from the
planet nearly as strongly. It seems odd to be grateful
for an illness, a pain or disease, but healing
energies are indeed drawn through these ills; be
they social, political, or of our own physical
body. Without these ills, there would be much less
access to the compassionate sacred
feminine. As the eclipse falls in the
very early hours of July 5, (EDT) many will be
sleeping. One way of taking advantage of the
energies is to remember that the portal is open not
just at the moment of the eclipse but for several
weeks before and after. As you open and allow
yourself to receive the bounty of the earth, you
are receiving the energies of the eclipse. Enjoy
yourself. For those interested in
spending more time with this energy and the Heart
of Light that I find symbolizes it, I'm doing
workshops in Windsor (July 19) and Cleveland (July
22). I'll be offering private sessions near New
York City the end of July (email me for more info)
and private sessions near Ann Arbor, MI in August.
Below is my itinerary for the
fall - more detailed info is available at my
website Itinerary page. Several events will be
added in September and October, so you may want to
check back there. Yes, I'm writing the sound
healing/heart of light book. It will have lots and
lots of pictures and information on breath, voice,
and the heart of light. No due date yet, most
likely 2002. As always, feel free to
forward this info to others, and if you'd prefer to
receive these monthly emails directly just send an
email to info@healingchants.com. Likewise, if you'd prefer not
to receive these emails, let me know that
too. My best to you,
always, -Norma If you would like to sponsor
a LIVING ROOM FORUM for 6 or more friends please
let me know. There is more info on how to do this
on the website. www.healingchants.com
