Eclipse Day Dreams

Happy Solar Eclipse Day! ✨👁️✨

The sky is so incredibly clear and the birds are so active. As I took these pictures this morning there were geese, ducks, song birds and turkeys moving about. This essence of the birds came through in my dreams last night as well.

The last couple of weeks leading up to today my dreams have been based on shadow work. Old wounds rising to be processed more and released. This weekend I spent three days deep in craniosacral work, learning how to move the cranial bones from the interior of the mouth. It knocked my socks off. But I also received so much healing work from my fellow classmates who were incredible. Each of them offering their own approach, and in the stillness and safety we created I went deep, back to memories I didn’t know I had that were stored within my bones. Like an imprint made by a moment of trauma, however small. Even bigger releases came from my classmates, incredibly deep wounds, and together we stood in grounding stillness holding the person on the table with compassion.

As I drove home last night the sky opened more and more, and once I crossed up and into the mountains I felt all the earthly energy come rushing back through me. Something left me and I began to feel energized and excited about today’s spectacle. Again, I noticed the birds. Actively coasting around the roads as I passed through.

So tired and grateful to be home I got right into bed last night and prepared to sleep like a rock. This I did, but I also had some magical dreams. At first I was holding an orange owl, wrapped in white cloth I kept it close to my chest. At one point it left me an as I searched the horizon I spotted it perched on a fence staring straight at me with huge eyes and wild orange feathers. Then I found myself resting in the crook of an old maple tree (like the one pictured below). I noticed a bald eagle in front of me on another tree and was surprised. As I widened my perspective I saw more and more eagles all around me. On all the branches around me they sat, calling, and fluffing feathers. I reached out my hand to one and it pecked at my fingers harshly but with curiosity.

I felt so protected by them. Growing up, eagle medicine was a powerful connection to obtain and only my teachers worked with them. Since my life long teacher passed last spring the eagles have been with me. I’m still learning what it means to have them within my subconscious. A deep connection to them with all that I do. Maybe they are my teachers now? Or maybe they were passed on to me, given over to carry the medicine forward.

I hope you all get a chance to swim deeply in natures magic today because it’s to palpable and lucid. Wrap yourself in all the frequencies of this beautiful connection we have to our solar system and the wisdom it gives us.
