How can I stay grounded during a Lunar Eclipse ?

During a Lunar Eclipse, the moon's radiant glow is partially veiled which can result in us feeling drawn into the depths of submerged shadows. In this interesting interplay of light and darkness, it's helpful to anchor ourselves into the earth whilst aiming to expand the awareness into the possibility beyond what we can see, hear and touch. So it begs the question - how can we stay grounded on a Lunar Eclipse?

The full moon is a mirror of the soul; as the sun illuminates the world, the moon illuminates the inner world." - Debasish Mridha

Visualisations are known to be powerful techniques that can aid stress management and internalise positive intentions for the future : 

• Create a space that will allow for about 5 minutes of quiet solitude.
• Sit and take some deep breaths and focus on the sound of the breath as your attention turns inwards - close the eyes or take the gaze low if this is more comfortable.
• Visualize a bright golden light in your mind's eye - notice how it illuminates and expands.
• With your quiet focus and eyes still closed, move the light to just above the crown of the head.
• Watch this light and begin to create a golden bubble around the aura (the space just beyond the physical body) moving from the crown down the sides, in the front and the back of the body - all the way down to the feet and the base of your body.
• Then send your golden bubble deep into a space beneath the earth seeing your body in your mind's eye at the heart of this illuminating golden light.
• The shape may be an oval, a circle - whichever complete shape resonates for you..
• Spend some moments breathing into this image of you sitting peacefully amidst an impenetrable golden bubble of light that surrounds you.
• When you feel ready - visualise the light seeping and culminating into the inside of your body - perhaps at the navel - or the heart space...
• Take a few more relaxed breaths here - and when you're ready - slowly open the eyes and smile.
• If you have any body oils available you could complete the visualisation by rubbing some oil into the hands and feet, and wherever you feel intuitively to move to.

Visualizations, especially when teamed up with the application of a body oil not only calms the nervous system but also inspires a sense of interconnectedness with both the ether and the earth, resulting in a sense of nurturing and light during a lunar eclipse.
