Shedding Layers: The Quiet Power of Eclipse Season

It’s interesting what an eclipse can bring to the surface if you allow it to. I have a friend who has been cleaning her space—her physical home—and purging everything she feels called to release. It’s been a fascinating process for her, sorting through things that no longer serve who she is now. It’s a great example of how we all clear our physical spaces to release old energy and make room for the new.

Another friend has been letting go of some deep-seated fears. Watching her face these fears has been incredibly moving because she usually operates on such a grand scale—and I mean that in the most sincere and wholehearted way. I didn’t think she had these kinds of fears, and yet here she is, rearranging her life and following her own intuition during this eclipse season. It’s been a beautiful transformation to witness as she bravely released so much, facing what she knew she had to in order to move forward.

And here I am, quiet in my house. There hasn't been a strong calling for me. I’ve been cleaning—because, with three kids, cleaning is always necessary. I’ve been purging because our house is full, and we’re working towards a calmer space. It's a slow process, peeling back layers like an onion, but we’re making progress. I find myself sitting in the space between the lunar and solar eclipses, feeling like there's not much happening. I do recognize the shifts I’ve been making, like going to the gym and nurturing my physical form. It’s a unique experience to be a Starseed on Earth, to have chosen this life as we all did. Some people embrace their physical form with ease, but for others—myself included—it’s more challenging, whether due to how we arrived here or because of life’s trials. I’ve had moments where I thought, I didn’t sign up for this. And yet, on some level, I did. My soul chose this journey, and it’s okay to feel that way. It’s okay to release and to begin gently accepting the human body you’re in, wherever you are in your journey. Sometimes, it just takes a little longer.

This morning, as I got ready, I realized I was holding on to so much in my Akashics. Some of it wasn’t even our families—energies that didn’t belong, but had become a reference point. There was residue of what it means to be female through the generations. It was time to release that because it’s no longer needed. I have a solid understanding of what it means to be a woman, and it's enough. There were other energies that ran deep in our family line that were no longer relevant; they were necessary once, but not for the generation we (any women in our family including my girls) are now or the generations to come. Letting them flow out—through me, out of our family line—it can be a process. Some things release gradually, while others fall away so quickly that you wonder if it really happened.

Whatever your eclipse energy has been—whether you felt called to make bold moves or you embraced a quieter, more spacious release, or if you did almost nothing at all—it was exactly
