December 31, 2009 eclipse

1 | December 11th, 2009 | Posted in eclipse

Winter solstice is upon us in just over a week, and it is a time of increasing darkness. Emotionally things may be becoming quite dark as well. Challenging and disturbing situations may be easily arising. The heaviness of this time might make it seem like it may never end. But eventually we will have to begin to see the light and the end of the tunnel.

This solstice is intensified by the the end of year eclipse. The darkness will be like the pain of childbirth, until the contractions let up and a new round of evolution of consciousness reveals itself. There are many births in the ever evolving process of consciousness on earth. The eclipse this time reveals something hidden. as part of our evolution the corrupt and hidden ways of our society are going to be revealed. Especially when it comes to our banking and economic systems.

However, personally in our lives it may feel like we have to fight a battle right now. A battle between goodness, health, wholeness within ourselves, and the evil ways of the world which draw us away from doing good and compel us to follow rules which serve only to hurt people. We are called to fight for the goodness we know, and to have faith to be our true selves.

My advice is to cut back and limit our exposure to the disturbing forces or situations. Don’t be afraid to take a extra day off from work. Be kind to yourself and try to do something relaxing like meditation, listening to music or take walks whenever possible.

The lunar eclipse of December 31st is a partial eclipse. It will be at the center of greatest contact at 2:22 PM EST (East coast US) or 12:22 PM here in Arizona.

August 5th Lunar Eclipse

0 | August 3rd, 2009 | Posted in eclipse

The lunar eclipse of August 5th (or 6th depending on your part of the world) is the third eclipse in this mid-year, summer eclipse trio. It is a penumbral lunar eclipse, meaning only a small part of the moon will be affected and barely observable. What can be seen will be observable in Africa and parts of South America.

However, folks at the Quantumcafe are mostly interested in the energetic or emotional effects of the eclipse. As sensitive people who feel certain stresses along with the eclipse, the timing becomes an important observable part of the experience, regardless of visual observations. The time of the greatest eclipse, or peak eclipse is 0:39 UTC on August 6th. That converts to 5:39 PM MST August 5th here in Arizona. That is 9:39 PM EDT (New York).

Are you experiencing some intensified emotions or energy during this time? If so, please leave a comment to share your experience with others.

Post Eclipse Energy Shift

0 | July 26th, 2009 | Posted in Cosmic Energy, eclipse

The eclipse seems to have brought in a new energy, and what may appear as a step backwards for many of us. A harsh new reality maybe presenting itself that appears more like the old than the new. I would think this is a cosmic effort to root out whatever is left of the old, and showing us what a strong hold it has.

Eclipse Today, Create Your Vision

0 | July 21st, 2009 | Posted in Cosmic Energy, eclipse

As we experience a total eclipse of the sun today (see earlier post for technical details), what does it mean for us on a spiritual level? How can we best harness the energies of the eclipse? It is a comic alignment of the moon, sun and earth which, I believe, intensifies the energies coming from the center of our galaxy. This energy can bring light to that which is part of our shadow consciousness, and can also help us manifest what we desire and want to create in the world or our lives.

The intensity of this experience may be cause for more difficulty and struggle. Old ways of limiting thinking and and doing may be taking a stronger hold on us, much to our disappointment. But at the same time if we can bring ourselves around to harness the eclipse energy for positive change, it presents a great opportunity to release the old ways and limitations and make a significant step in establishing our new realities.

My recommendation for today is to take time to be in a creative space. This is a rare solar eclipse lasting over six minutes. It won’t happen again for over a century. It is the new moon. It is time to make a strong statement of our vision for our futures, what we want in our lives and the world. It is a time to set our intentions for greater freedom and abundant life, or for whatever else it is that we desire for ourselves. If you are a sensitive person, then you are most certainly feeling the intensity of the eclipse today. Have the courage to gently guide your efforts towards reflection, and whatever creative practice it is that you do.

Comments welcome!

Why Does Our New Reality Sometimes Feel Bad?

0 | July 19th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

How often do we wish for change in our lives? That we would like some situation to feel better or be more abundant. A clear vision and passion for expressing it will greatly improve the manifestation process. But sometimes when the manifestation starts to happen, it can feel a bit uncomfortable.

One thing we can do to alleviate any fears is to affirm that our transitions will be smooth and easy. Our intention can be everyday and every way to manifest peace, harmony and ease in our life and those around us. Meditation can also help create that space.

But as change happens we almost inevitably become uncomfortable at some point in that process. We have been visualizing and summoning the change, and how good it will feel when accomplished, but true change will involve an inner change of the heart and soul.

The change we seek is abundant life and shouldn’t be resisted. But for how long have we believed that we aren’t deserving of it? As such, we have programed ourselves to feel and believe in our old impoverished ways of thinking. To open to the flow of abundant life will feel counter to the way we have felt to our core for the longest time. The energy patterns and neural nets in our brains will have to reshape and reform themselves. These changes may feel uncomfortable. Listening to our inner selves and trusting in a spacious, conscious calm way will guide us home.

Total Solar Eclipse July 21, 2009

We are between eclipses right now, having the lunar eclipse on July 7th, we are headed for a total Solar Eclipse on July 21, 2009 at 7:35 PM here in Arizona (02:35:21 UTC, July 22). It will be visible mostly in parts of southwest Asia and the Pacific.

Do you feel any different energy going on? Are any changes happening in your life now during this eclipse period? Eclipses often bring about sudden changes and intensified feelings in my experience.

Balancing Vacillating Energies . . . Oh Dear!

0 | July 5th, 2009 | Posted in Cosmic Energy

By Aluna Joy and the Star Elders July 2009
www.AlunaJoy.com

This morning I finally got clear about what in the world is going on . . . well for today at least. I wanted to get this out to you ASAP, so excuse that I didn’t take time to make it pretty! Here is the latest message about the shift that we are in . . .

If you are confused about the energy that you are feeling these days, trust me, you are not alone. The Star Elders say that we are immersed in the process of building the bridge from the world that we are leaving behind to the world that we are creating. We are presently smack dab in the middle of the shift of the ages. This is causing some very frustrating and interesting side effects.

One of these side effects is how we manifest. In the last few weeks, since solstice, we are noticing that when we begin a project, we also find that at each step of the way we have to change direction or even start over. It feels like we have to do everything twice. Nothing seems to be working smoothly right now. The energy for manifesting flows in . . . and then to our utter frustration, the energy flows back out like receding tidal waves. It feels like we hit temporary walls along the way. It is like the flow is all of a sudden cut off. We feel like we have become yo-yo’s, or feel like a hamster continually spinning on a wheel. This vacillation is leaving us feeling pulled in two directions at the same time. It is really hard to decide which way to go. We feel quite stuck, confused . . . and lets face it. downright annoyed.

The reason for this yo-yo side effect is that the energy we used for creating is vacillating between the past and the future. At this time, we are not completely present in either world. We are on the bridge between the two worlds. The energy of creation is still working in the past world, but it is also now beginning to work in the future also. In other words, we are manifesting on both sides of the bridge at the same time. This vacillating energy will eventually quicken and shorten in duration to the point where we will be creating from a single point in reality. I can hardly wait for this!

This yo-yo energy does not stop us from creating, but we do have to focus more intently to get a job done. The Star Elders say 50% of our intentions right now are in the past and are difficult, but not impossible, to complete. It is important that you keep living and creating. Yet it is up to you to decide if you want to take an extra effort to manifest, or finish a project. You might just want to throw in the towel. The Star Elders also say that the other 50% of our intentions are being created out in the future somewhere. Because we are only 50% present in either world. Again, we have to focus intently to get these jobs done. We also have the option to let the intent or project go until the creative flow returns. Your intents which are based in the past will be increasingly harder to complete. Whereas your intents based on the future will become increasingly easier to manifest.

Just to make things a little more confusing for you all . . . The Star Elders say there is no past . . . or future.

There is another side effect from not being completely present in either world. We get clumsy. Have you been bumping into walls, stubbing your toe, bumping her head, and feeling generally wobbly and out of it? Yeah, this is part of this shifting also. Your body’s equilibrium is working hard to adapt to the new world.
Your internal gyroscope is re-orienting to the new world that is emerging. This is causing you to become ungrounded. This can also cause nausea and headaches. These symptoms have been going on for quite a few months but will begin to fade by the end of the year. The Star Elders say to be careful with your body right now, as we could be accident prone. (I learned this the hard way)

There is a huge wave of people passing out of this dimension, as they are in a hurry to get to that next one. Unfortunately these ones are going to miss out experiencing the show of the ages! There are many that are on the fence, trying to decide which direction they want to go. It is time for you to decide! There are many brave ones, that make up a multitude of light workers that are committed to riding out what is left of this fading dimension. These ones will experience what the Star Elders say is the wildest ride in the universe and a huge evolutionary jump for the soul. Why do I get the feeling this could be one of those roller coaster rides you wish you had never gotten on . . . but once you arrive at the destination you want to do it all over again. PS … any way that you choose to transfer yourself to the new world is the right way for you! There is no right or wrong here, only what your soul has decided to do.

So in a nut shell… you are not losing IT ! You are getting IT! But to get IT you will have to loose IT. So you see why we are feeling like Yo-Yo’s.

Lunar Eclipse July 7th, 2009

0 | July 5th, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

This Full Moon on 7 July 2009 at 2:22 a.m. Mountain Standard Time here in Arizona (that’s 5:22 EDT for the east coast) will be a lunar eclipse.

The full solar eclipse will occur on the new moon of July 21st. And there is another partitial lunar eclipse on August 6, 2009, the third of four lunar eclipses in 2009.

This is a lot of eclipses. Back in the time of Louis the XIV, eclipses were very rare. What interesting times we are living in.

Reaching for that Good Feeling Emotion

0 | July 2nd, 2009 | Posted in Uncategorized

I really think its time to get back to some relaxation. This holiday weekend I will keep reaching for that good feeling emotion, and I firmly believe that is what we should be doing. There is nothing more important than feeling good. That is how we will create the world we desire, that is in our dreams.

But sometimes things happen that challenge our ability to feel our natural joy and happiness. It can be like peeling back layers of an onion until the joy can be revealed. It’s about shedding or letting go because I think the joy is always there, but it gets overshadowed particularly when difficult things or situation arrive in our lives.

When that happens we just need to summon the courage to get through the tough times, and remember that good feeling place, and knowing we can get back there again. It helps to make that effort, because I believe if we practice that long enough, we will learn to be there all the time. As such, our world around us will reflect that peace, beauty and grace that lies naturally within.

For this holiday weekend, I believe in that inner peace. I will spend my time swimming, in nature, with friends and eating good food. I will continue to reach for that better feeling emotion until I feel bliss. And I have no doubt that I will again.

Meditation for the Ills of the Mind

0 | June 29th, 2009 | Posted in happiness, personal growth

Do you have a meditation practice of sitting still, perhaps cross legged on a pillow, and observing your mind, thoughts and emotions? I’ve been practicing for years, but sometimes I fall out of practice.

I had recently gone through a couple of weeks of feeling anxious and unhappy. I noticed my mind going to recurring unpleasant thoughts that I didn’t want to have. I tried telling myself “cancel” or “gone” but that was only helping marginally. Finally I got around to boosting my daily meditation practice to a couple of times per day. That was cause for a real shift towards feeling happy.

I’ve been trained in Buddhist meditation for many years. I love it, frankly. I’ve been on several long meditation retreats and in my mid twenties traveled to India and lived amongst the cave dwelling swamis in the Himalayas. At that time, an energy burned like a flame within my heart. I know from experience that meditation can do a great deal to transform our lives in a healthy way and re-connect us to our spiritual source. It takes a bit of effort and dedication. It is also a practice that is easy to neglect or forget.

I also get a free daily guided meditation emailed to me from Rich German. It’s a good reminder and helps me get into it each day.

Since I’ve made a re-commitment to meditation. I have been having a lot more fun. I”m happier and drawing more pleasant experiences to me. I think there may be something about this time period, of change and upheaval, that calls for meditation even more. I’m feeling confident these days that I can soak it all in, be with the experience and still find a spacious peaceful state within.
