Liberate yourself with this simple and inspiring solar eclipse ritual.
A solar eclipse is an opportunity to break old chains, step out of old patterns, and fly free into beautiful new paradigms.
Here’s an elegantly simple solar eclipse ritual to supercharge the blessings of this powerful time. It will help you release the old, embrace the new, and set your soul free.
It’s best to do this ritual as close to the moment of the solar eclipse as possible.
Ingredients:
One gray votive candle (with holder if it’s not in a jar already)
One white votive candle (with holder if it’s not in a jar already)
Lighter or matches
A few minutes before the eclipse, sit comfortably and center yourself. Place the gray candle on your altar or a flat surface in front of you. Feel that it represents old heaviness and stuck energy in your life, as well as anything you no longer want, and anything that no longer serves or defines you.
At the moment of the eclipse, blow the gray candle out. Feel and sense that all power and momentum has been removed from these things in your life. Just for this moment, release all worries and fears. Release the sense that any of this old stuff has any power over you. Tap into a deep sense of inner stillness, quiet, and calm.
After a minute or so, remove the gray candle from your altar and replace it with the white one.
Light the white candle, which represents personal freedom and infinite joy. As it burns, imagine rainbow sparkles showering down on you, filling you with the energy of luck and new beginnings. Feel the euphoria and lightness of experiencing your most beautiful vision for your life. Feel as if it’s already 100% present and real. And feel gratitude.
Allow this candle to continue to burn for as long as you can keep an eye on it for the purpose of fire safety. As it burns, it would be a good idea to engage in self-loving activities such as dancing, baking, taking a bath, relaxing with a book, journaling, painting, or anything else you really love to do.
When it’s good and cool, remove the gray candle from the holder and throw it away.

I’m letting go of fear and embracing the divine. I’ve also watched a lot of Navajo eclipse videos on YouTube so I’ll also be doing some of those other activities after! I’m going to write some poetry in gratitude of the Sun. Thanks for being your beautiful self. I am always super pumped when I see an email for your newsletter.
