How to harness the transformational power of 2024’s total eclipse.
By Spencer Rouse
We experienced a total eclipse of the Sun on April 8, 2024. Exciting! Where I live in eastern North Carolina, the light from the sun dimmed for a while. I might not have been aware if I had not been anticipating it. I might have missed the hush, that harmonizing, balancing stillness. I could feel different parts of my physical body gently attuning, separately, to the frequency: instruments in a symphony orchestra. All of nature revitalized as I looked on.
My cats, unusually still, experienced the phenomena from their favorite post at the window. We were all in this together, one with the cosmos. They understood that something magical was present. One of the cats, in particular, has never understood why I do not follow his instructions to turn the sun back on every evening when darkness shadows his view of the backyard birds and other wildlife! Even he did not question this energetic phenomenon. Rather, he accepted and attuned.
Bossy cats aside, I experienced a calm in the air, one not usually present at that time of day. I took a few minutes to breathe gently and absorb the energy while reflecting upon the significance of this rare event.
Solar eclipses remind us that as the Sun, Moon and Earth align completely, an energetic balance is created that we can sense if we allow our minds and bodies to relax and accept. In this stillness, we can feel our bodies recalibrating, especially where there are weaknesses or disruptions in the physical. Our attention goes to these places: the sore muscle, the tight jaw, the uncomfortable fullness in the stomach, and the heaviness in the legs. We take a moment to focus on each area, vibrating that focus with love and healing. Some places relax as we direct healing, harmonizing energy to them. Some need further attention to adjust. We use the energy of perfect balance for additional reflection, introspection and healing vibrations.
It is an opportunity to recalibrate and connect more deeply with our inner selves while connecting to the divine. We can slow down now and savor who we are, where we intend to go, and the next best steps to move us down our chosen paths. How wonderful if we could continuously maintain this quiet balance. However, eclipse energy is transformational. Any physical, mental or emotional aspect of ourselves that is not in balance will be challenged. And, in the near future, there will be additional eclipse energies that will help maintain the transformational flow.
Another total eclipse of the Sun will not be seen in the contiguous United States until 2044. Still, the good news is that we will experience partial eclipses in 2026, 2028, and 2029 to supplement this transformation energy. And, because of the perfect balance of the heavenly bodies involved during the total eclipse in April, we have powerful, energetic assistance to release what needs to be released within us, opening new doors and starting a new chapter in our lives. As we shift upwards within ourselves, we are doing our part to amp up the vibrational level of the world. We are here to “be the change.” We combine our light with the light of others responding to the Universe’s call.
So, how do we do this? There are different ways. You most likely experienced a surge of energy following the eclipse. You may have felt a desire to simplify or start fresh. Use that heightened energy to set intentions and act this year. However, step boldly, but not impulsively. Consider your options wisely. You are developing a solid foundation for progress.
Prepare for possible power struggles as you change your dynamic. Others may not understand the changes in you immediately. There probably will be some emotional reactions within yourself as you shift. Confront your underlying issues. Examine them. Allow them to dissolve. Focus on healthy boundaries and emotional honesty. Uncover any emotional triggers and meditate to understand and clear them. Meditate as often as needed to understand anything disrupting your inner balance. Keep at it. Some things have been stuck inside for years. This process may be difficult. Be patient with yourself and send light to any blame, shame or guilt the moment it wants to surface. These feelings are useless and stop your progress. Avoid overthinking and being overly critical of yourself or others. Make it a habit to listen first to understand. Develop patience. Seek balance within at all times.
The unexpected is a large part of this transformational energy. We may encounter disruptions and challenges, and our resilience may be tested. The more flexible we can be under stress, the more challenges we can handle—and the greater our progress.
We have chosen to be on Earth at this time in history. We are here to help our planet transition to a higher level of consciousness through personal transformation, healing and love. As we transform, we feel connected to the Divine, our inner selves, and others. The work will not be easy at times. Stay with it. More assistance is coming in than ever before. As we rebalance, piece by piece, we will feel the benefits more strongly than ever before. We have a mission. Together, we are birthing a new spiritual era on Earth.
