Thrive during eclipse season.
Eclipse season. One minute you're sipping your coffee, minding your own business, and the next, you're questioning your life choices and why you're suddenly feeling all the feels. It's that magical time when the sun, moon, and earth decide to play musical chairs. I see this as a prime time for a little self-care and cosmic TLC. Let's chat about riding the eclipse wave with some herb lore and rituals that are like a cozy blanket for your soul.
The Cosmic Stir-Up
Eclipse season has a knack for turning the spotlight on our inner worlds, pushing us to let go of the old and make room for the new. Feeling a bit more introspective or on edge? That's just the universe's way of saying, "Hey, let's shake things up a bit." It's the perfect moment to listen a little closer to that inner voice and embrace the changes that are knocking on your door.
Herbal BFFs
Mother Nature's got our backs with her arsenal of herbs, ready to smooth out the ride. Here's the scoop on a few favorites:
Lavender: This little purple powerhouse is perfect for when you're feeling all wound up from the eclipse drama. A whiff of lavender can help you hit the pause button and just breathe.
Sage: Ever feel like you need a cosmic reset button? Burning some sage is like telling those stale vibes and old patterns to take a hike, clearing the air for fresh starts.
Chamomile: If eclipse season's got you tossing and turning at night, chamomile's like that chill friend who reminds you everything is temporary. (Me, I’m that friend.) A cup of chamomile tea before bed can be your ticket to dreamland.
Rosemary: Need a mental pick-me-up? Rosemary's your herb. It's all about clearing the brain fog and boosting your brainwaves so you can see where the heck you're headed next.
Rituals to Rock Eclipse Season
Mixing in some simple rituals can help you stay grounded and zen through the cosmic whirlwind. Here are a few ideas to keep you anchored:
Moon Journaling: Grab a pen and spill your guts to the moon. It's a powerful time to let go of what's not serving you and set intentions for what you're calling into your life. Or, just put pen to paper - doodle, sketch, random words, lines - see what happens.
Herbal Baths: Draw yourself a bath with your herbal allies like lavender and chamomile. Imagine you're soaking away the old energy and emerging refreshed and revitalized.
Nature Walks: When the eclipse energy feels like too much, a walk outside can be a game-changer. It's a reminder that, just like the seasons, we're meant to change and grow.
Crystal Meditation: Holding onto a moonstone during meditation can be like a direct line to the moon's vibes. It's a crystal that resonates with new beginnings, perfect for eclipse season musings.
Eclipse season doesn't have to be a cosmic rollercoaster. With a little help from our herbal allies and some mindful rituals, we can glide through it with grace and maybe even a bit of excitement for what's on the other side. Here's to embracing the magic, one eclipse at a time! And remember, FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS!
