“At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.”
~ T.S. Eliot ~
oh, there is so much to whisper into this crystal, this moment of eternity on one of my favorite days of every turn around the sun and this one, so extraordinary…. breathing it in, this moment of soulstice, of stillness amplified on steroids by the great conjunction with Jupiter and Saturn coming together (yes, they come together every 12 years but not as closely as this since 1226) at zero degrees Aquarius which heralds a move from earth to air element that will last some 200 years and bring quite a shift in consciousness, and there’s another cycle within cycles, the one of some 2333 turns around the sun as we move from sign to sign, from the age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius which is being celebrated on our first continent of Australia by the Aborigines, the original peoples, this soulstice in sacred ceremony at Uluru, the divine mother portal of creation and home to the rainbow serpent, the divine feminine creation energy of our earthmother… the original people ask for all relatives to join in prayer at the time of soulstice to complete this ritual with the rainbow serpent becoming the rainbow bridge uniting heaven and earth and bringing peace and harmony to the ever-expanding cosmos…
now, there is so much more to whisper into this crystal, this moment of foreverness from this peace pilgrim’s perspective with my earliest memory of being visited by the rainbow serpent who sat at the foot of my crib and “taught” me stillness although it took me decades to consciously real-eyes what this awe-full encounter with the numinous had gifted, this resource this immune system booster, this natural vaccine that transmutes lead into gold, fear into love, stress into bless… this rainbow serpent that transmuted into a golden halo of light nineteen years later when at 21 i experienced a great awakening and then like the rainbow serpent i migrated from southeast to northwest to be grounded firmly here on this soulstice to align with the original peoples for the great ritual to complete… here is the stillness song re-joy-sing through this empty reed as all relatives come together calling in peace and harmony…
finding a place where you can sit comfortably, allow your body to find ease and let go of any doing… now, take a full breath – holding it for a moment and then releasing it completely… and, another full breath – holding it for a moment and then releasing it completely… and, one more deep cleansing breath…
continue breathing slowly, deeply and without effort – releasing all doing, simply witnessing the easing of stress and tension in the body and inviting more and more peace and harmony into every wild cell… notice any place that feels tight and release the tension allowing a softening around that area… as you continue to breathe in, begin to draw your attention within with every breath… notice any thoughts and release them gently…
now, draw your attention to our earthmother – no matter where you are sitting, place your attention on the earth below your feet… is it soft and verdant or hard and frozen? your earth – your home – your Mother… notice a pulsing vibration of energy and draw that connection up through your feet, up through your sitz bones – wherever you are connected to our earthmother – and draw that energy up into your first chakra noticing the grounding and connection…
continuing to breathe fully, deeply and with ease,
notice your attention and bring it gently and effortlessly to the vibration of our earthmother within… be one with our Mother as she holds and nurtures us… as you continue deep breathing, begin to bring that connection, that energy up to your heart chakra, noticing the energy, the vibration of the earth as it expands within your heart, within our one heart…
witness any thoughts, feelings or emotions, allowing them and then releasing them with love and ease… feel your heart expanding with each breath… pulling in the energy and vibration of our earthmother, notice your heart expanding with light, love, peace and harmony…
light, love, peace, harmony… your heart opening and expanding with each breath…
light, love, peace, harmony… connecting with the earth, with nature, with all beings…
light, love, peace, harmony… witnessing the intelligence within every living being…
as we breathe together, conspire, we are connecting with all that is, with earth and sky, oceans and mountains, all beings and the cosmos which surrounds us… we are one with all, one rainbow bridge uniting all… light, love, peace and harmony… expanding and connecting with all… gradually bringing our awareness back to our one heart, notice the steady heartbeating of life, the rich fullness and the expansion of the great conjunction, the grand union… blessings/blissings be…
