5 Ways to Power Up During a Solar Eclipse

Here are 5 ways to charge up your positive energy and personal power during a solar eclipse.

A solar eclipse is a time of powerful energy! Here are 5 ways to charge up your positive energy and personal power on the day of a solar eclipse.

1. Clarify the old patterns, habits, and conditions you’re ready to release.

What is it you’re most ready to let go of? Maybe you’re finally done with negative self-talk about your weight, compulsive phone checking, a job you’re not crazy about, or a stubborn relationship pattern that just keeps dragging you down. From as neutral a space as possible – in other words, without harshly judging or criticizing yourself or your life – write it all down in your journal. Keep wringing it out until you’re sure you’ve recognized and named every last little thing.

2. Clear clutter and clean.

The days leading up to the eclipse call for some deep and serious cleaning and clearing. Creating a clear, simplified energy in your home will raise your vibration and support the release of every other thing that isn’t serving you: unhealed emotions, unhealthy habits, and general energetic blocks of every variety. If you haven’t read it yet, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up will inspire the extreme clutter clearing that will get you started in the right direction. And if you have read it, maybe read it again! Then, if you’re on a roll, my book, Magical Housekeeping, will get you fired up about cleaning by helping you see it as the magical act is actually is.

3. Meditate.

During the solar eclipse, create sacred space in your consciousness. The best way to do that? Meditate! Have your morning cuppa whatever-you-drink-in-the-morning, and then sit right down on your cushion and meditate. Check out the free app Insight Timer for a bunch of free guided meditations to fit every preference or mood, or check out my guided meditation playlist on YouTube.

4. Know what your heart wants.

Now that you’ve gotten clear on what you don’t want – in your mind, body, home, and life – it’s time to get clear on what you do want! So grab that journal again and write out all your fondest dreams and visions for every aspect of your life experience. Let this be a fun process of discovering the desires that spark a feeling of expansion in your heart. Don’t hold back! Even if something seems completely off the page of possibility, if it’s in your heart, write it down. And then…

5. Realize that anything is possible.

An eclipse is a portal: an open door to the full spectrum of what is possible. So in the days leading up to it, consciously open up to the infinity of possibility. As yourself: What if I could expand into even more blessings and abundance, endlessly, forever? What if I could – really and truly – manifest all the fondest desires of my heart? What would that feel like? How would it look?

…After all of this, you’ll be SO ready for this Solar Eclipse Ritual for Busting Through Blocks and Setting Your Soul Free.
