Eclipse Yourself: Tools for Your Apocalypse
Turns out, a lot of people feel like this - and turns out, there is a solution every single time!
Hey!
Have you ever thought about what you give the majority of your energy to, and what in life gives the most to you?
Do those two have direct, opposing, or totally disconnected relationships with one another?
Won’t get too heavy into psychological truth bomb central, but come to find out, a lot of people feel drained as fuck!
I’ve discovered a few things, sharing this on the day of the eclipse, along with a few goodies I suppose and we’ll see if it’s helpful to you!
One-sided relationships, environments and situations (parasitic in nature) are CONTAGIOUS.
elaboration: If you find yourself always chasing or pursuing or feeling like you have to “keep up” with an infinitely elusive goal post, you are probably burnt out as fuck.
What happens here? I say they are contagious because as the individual rushes toward the person/place/thing that they give all their energy to and get zero to breadcrumbs in return for, well, that is all they are conditioned to recognize.
If a person/place/thing comes along that is nourishing or stable, the ego of the individual will recognize said person/place/thing as UNFAMILIAR and therefore avoidance kicks in. Or, the person may stop and rest a while with said safe person/place/thing, maybe they process their pain and hurt.
However, they have not addressed the deeper issues of why they chase the dragon, so as soon as they get their energy back, they are unavailable again. Then whoever they behaved that way toward feels depleted, and unless they have the wisdom to see the situation for it is, they often start doing the same shit, if they weren’t already.
For those of us who had “interesting” upbringings, if we get honest with ourselves, we may discover that our brains have been conditioned to not feel connected to anything or anyone that does NOT incite a trauma response within us. How wild is that?
We may realize that we have formed trauma bonds with everything and everyone around us, and though we may feel victim of circumstance, if we look closely we will see that subconsciously we have created chaos and problems where there weren’t any because that is the brains only way it knows how to CONNECT to other humans / the world / even themselves - this is your brain on trauma. Yes, it can absolutely be reversed. What a grand time to do so, if you are in this situation!
If you are in these camps, do not stop there! Beware the snare: Awareness is the intelligence, but don’t be those idiots who, hmmm let’s take an example:
Let’s say someone just discovered the meaning of the word Narcissist. Maybe they have one in their life. They might then go absolutely apeshit and think every single person who behaves in a way they don’t like or understand is automatically a narcissist. This is one of the snares.
Awareness, yes. ECLIPSE YOURSELF is another way of saying shed the fuckshit, take inventory, clean house! Only you know what needs trimming, or rather, eclipsing.
However, beware the snare. If you suddenly realize a LOT of shit around you isn’t working right now, understand that you also are part of that problem. Find out why.
This is not to BLAME anybody, this is just to say that if we find ourselves in circumstances we are not fans of, we must surely cease our participation, but we should also look at what lies beneath the surface in our own psyches that call to those sort of things IF they are a pattern. Because if they are a pattern, no matter what it is, we are the common denominator.
Taking stock of your environment and taking stock of yourself are two sides to the same coin of, let us say, alignment or adjustment. Let us use the analogy of sobriety:
One must first detox (get sober) - this is excruciating if one is tissue dependent and many people cannot get through it. THEN… the even more challenging part. STAYING SOBER. Those are two ENTIRELY different games. Physical and emotional sobriety are NOT the same things. However, in order to achieve emotional sobriety, one must attain physical sobriety first. And if one wants to maintain physical sobriety, one must attain and maintain emotional sobriety! The two are contingent upon each other if one wants to NOT return back to a living hell.
Why am I saying this on an eclipse? I don’t know, I just felt called to write this actually. HOWEVER - Eclipsing oneself is simply working with the NATURAL rhythm of life.
Eclipses are natural and happen multiple times a year, every year. People have viewed them as malefic events because people tend to not like change, and eclipses bring rapid change, destabilization and crisis more often than not. Regardless of how far down the “SHTF” scale any celestial event goes, we need these events for the evolution of consciousness on this planet.
Evolution plays the long game, which is why to humans, shit often doesn’t make sense. Consider earthquakes and the shifting of tectonic plates - no earthquakes and all ensuing shenanigans = no mountains, ya dig? No pun intended.
Alright you silly geese, if you needed someone to give you permission, PLEASE DO get as much rest, sleep, food, exercise, sunlight, meditation, prayer as possible!!! Be easy on yourself. If people seem like psychopathic animals, DONT take it personally. Just let shit calm down for a minute.
Things aren’t always what they seem. Maybe take a break from news cycles and the interwebs. Read a book, watch a comedy, take a bath, yada yada. Loves!

Dear Brave Soul, here we are again ...you always touch subjects I resonate with. I liked in particular the way you started ... talking to the ones with ... interesting childhoods. Oh Lord at the root of most of our challenges are those experiences. You know and I know that giving ourselves permission to rest, be, breathe without guilt is like a jewel in the middle of a pile of logs. The conditioning is severe and recovering from such things a serious business. At times it feels as if we are in the Groundhog Day relieving the same day over and over again. But we are coming out the shadows and keep marching and healing because we know we have a mission, we know we heal one step at a time and in doing so, inspire others.
