All Content Copyright 2005 Allison Rae/QuantumRealityCoach.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eclipse Prayer When the day turns to night, darkness eclipses our knowing. We emerge into the light more aware of our inner truth, our purpose, our path. The soul’s message is heard. When the Earth diminishes the reflected light of the Moon, we are grateful to experience our true nature, Infinite Being, our vast powers of creation. We emerge from the darkness once again, purified and enlightened. We welcome the inner changes, the growth of our being. As the unconscious becomes known, the shadow is healed. We remember now our powers of manifestation. We remember our mastery. We are home. Gratitude flows like a river from our hearts to an invisible point beyond the horizon. We bask in bliss, the understanding that the unknown -- Great Mystery -- is the womb filled with creative potential for us to shape according to our thoughts. As we release the past, we discover the infinite possibilities awaiting us in each moment, We remember that creation is a form of devotion, an expression of Divine Love. We choose to manifest those realities that most fully express the Godself within, according to our purpose. And so it is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reflection On the waning Balsamic Moon, it’s appropriate to reflect on the gifts we received via the eclipse series of April 2005. The April 8 Solar Eclipse signaled a profound passage. A new consciousness was birthed. World events -- including a second massive earthquake in Indonesia, followed by the passage of both Terri Schiavo and Pope John Paul II -- crystallized our awareness of this shift. Exciting new energies began streaming into the Earth plane, elevating our consciousness, our gifts of transcendence. At the urging of the soul, our purpose came into sharper focus. On April 24, a shadow crossed the face of the Wesak Full Moon, opening our Buddha hearts, expanding our awareness and deepening our commitment to divine service. Something miraculous happened at the late-April alignment of Sun, Earth and Moon. Subconscious beliefs that limited us before are now lifted. We are free to manifest and create with a renewed sense of purpose. In the vacuum created by release from the past, we are consciously reprogramming the subconscious mind. The paradigm has shifted. New patterns are taking shape. It’s time to visualize a higher idea for our lives and our world, guided by the divine spirit within. What will we choose to manifest next? The period from the pagan Sabbat of Beltaine on May 5 through the Taurus New Moon on May 8 is a powerful time to set new intentions and attract to ourselves the situations, people and resources that will help manifest our dreams. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attuning to Natural Cycles Change, growth and manifestation follow the rhythm of natural cycles. When we attune to these cycles, we increase our personal power. We consciously co-create our destiny in alignment with our soul’s path and purpose in this lifetime. Since ancient times, the Ancestors have taught that alignment with the lunar and solar cycles attunes us to cosmic and Earth energies, the universal flow of creation. We remember the gift of divine timing with these upcoming alignments… Beltaine -- May 5 One of eight pagan Sabbats of the solar year, the great spring festival of Beltaine marks the midpoint between the Vernal Equinox and Summer Solstice. Beltaine is one of four Greater Sabbats celebrated on the “cross-quarters” -- astronomical gateways that that fall halfway between the solstices and equinoxes. The Greater Sabbats are considered even more powerful times for ritual and manifestation than the solstices and equinoxes, which are known as Lesser Sabbats. Beltaine derives from Gaelic and Druid traditions and means “bright fire.” The traditional theme is purification. In modern times, Beltaine tends to be blended with the more Germanic celebration of “May Day,” which falls on May 1 and focuses on fertility. The cross-quarters empower our intention and prayer work and are excellent gateways for interdimensional experience. Intentions, ritual and ceremony will be highly effective throughout the period from Beltaine through the Taurus New Moon. Taurus New Moon -- May 8 -- 4:45 a.m. EDT; 8:45 a.m. GMT All New Moons are ideal for seeding the dreams we wish to create. At this lunation, the Sun and Moon closely square Neptune, enhancing our dreamtime, our intuition and our connection to Divine Source. Venus joins the Sun and Moon in the Earth sign of Taurus, accentuating the power of Love to fuel our process of manifestation. The asteroid Chiron stations retrograde on the day of this New Moon, urging us to continue healing past wounds so we may step more fully into our future. Overall, the message is to maintain a state of spiritual receptivity and openness while affirming our commitment to a path of progress in the material realm. Sagittarius Full Moon -- May 23 -- 4:18 p.m. EDT; 8:18 p.m. GMT The opposition of the Sun and Moon at each Full Moon alignment creates a tension to be resolved. This one, on the Gemini-Sagittarius axis, asks us to narrow the gap between our lower and higher mental faculties, to think with our hearts as much as our minds. The Sun in Gemini tempts us to experience the world in streams of mental impressions we might call “information.” The Moon in Sagittarius reminds us that information is useless without perspective and interpretation that lead to higher understanding. At this lunation, the Sun in Gemini represents our inner student. The Moon is our inner teacher. This is a time to notice and celebrate the gifts of awareness that assist us in understanding our world, the cosmos, and our place within them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wisdom, Healing and Guidance for Advanced Souls Soul Readings -- Individual Soul Readings, Life Path Consultations and ongoing coaching support are available for those on an accelerated path of soul evolution.
