Are you Sleeping, Spinning, or Surrendering?
I was watching the washing machine this morning - the movement of the clothing and water, the turning of the drum, the soap suds across the glass, the gentle sound of all the elements moving together. It was a little hypnotizing. I felt calm in the rhythm, at ease within its flow.
As I watched, I began to think about the upcoming Total Lunar Eclipse in Pisces. It could feel much like that washing machine: rhythmic, cleansing, and soothing. Or, it could feel scary, chaotic, overwhelming. And I wanted to send this support and guidance, to help ensure it becomes the higher option, the more “delicate” cycle.
Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac. While many see it as dreamy, dissociate, floaty, I see it as death, endings, completions. From a higher perspective, there’s nothing to fear in an ending. It can be marked with celebration, liberation, freedom - a doorway into something new. Yet our egoic minds cling at endings, resisting the unknown, grasping to what feels familiar.
Think of a deep, warm body of water - so peaceful you could fall asleep. Imagine sinking into it: quiet, muted, little light or sound. This is the space of illusion, a false “security,” where we believe there is nothing to respond to, nothing happening around us. Before people “wake up” spiritually, this is often how they function - dulled senses, little awareness allowed in.
In truth, when we “sleep” this way, on other levels we are drowning, fighting tides, spinning in whirlpools. Yet we cling to the illusion that everything is fine. The suffering deepens. It’s a strange and interesting contradiction, like so much of life.
But the higher way is different: Imagine you are in that deep water, but your eyes and ears are open. You witness what’s occurring all around you. You can feel the currents, sense the movement of energy. The world is no longer a mystery, you see both the physical and the energetic.
You become more awake and aware than ever before. And instead of overwhelm, you feel held - floating, swimming, dancing with the watery energy in ways you could only dream of before.
Within eclipse season, we are a bit like that washing machine and its contents - the kaleidoscopic energies turning and moving. They can wash through us, cleansing old debris, releasing karmic patterns. Or we can keep spinning with the same stories, identities, and choices. The choice is always ours.
Here are a few things I encourage you to focus on in your healing practices and rituals leading up to the eclipse:
Step 1: Ask yourself - What am I most attached to? This could be a job, a relationship, a role or identity, or even objects that clutter your space. Begin simply by noticing.
Step 2: Ask yourself - What do I believe these things give me? Identity, significance, importance, security? Do they consume your time and mind? What is the belief (which is truly only a belief)?
Step 3: Meditate on Detachment and Surrender. They are two distinct virtues - both profound, both essential for healing. Without exploring and understanding them, we resist choosing them, even though they hold the keys to liberation. What could they open for you?
Step 4: Imagine a life where you swim the seas without fear. Where your intuition is so strong you can choose with grace. Where you trust yourself, because you are choosing differently. Imagine a world designed to support and guide you, instead of overwhelm you.
This first eclipse feels big. And “big” can mean cleansing, transforming, evolutionary. We don’t need to flail in the changes, we can swim with the tides. Surrender doesn’t mean quitting. It means releasing the fight, the control, the push. Take time this week to feel what surrender means for you. The burdens will loosen, the weight will lift, and you’ll feel lighter, and more able to swim.
Sending blessings for detachment, grace, and flow.
