Today is the 8th day of the 8th month and we get to play with the energy of double infinity. Imagine the celebration going on Beyond the Infinite Doorway today! Today it's like a big picnic and cosmic family reunion.  
Flashing orbs send out energy messages that symbolize the full power of the Lions Gate portal which peaks today. The Lions Gateway energy fully awakens your Divine Light and  assists you to embody Divinity in  your physicality. You can tune in at 8pm your time to feel the highest waves.  

Feel your heart expand as you joyfully connect with old soul friends and meet new friends with whom you can create infinite possibilities. Consciously say yes, and go into the beyond thru the portal and ask What more is there for me to discover? 

 Align with the energies and find out how to harmonize with your ultimate divine self. Take an active role in directing the energies to support what you want to actualize.  Perhaps it will include unconditional love and light, spiritual expansion, greater expression of your special gifts, and  becoming One with All That Is.  

 Today and until August 13 when the Lions Gate portal closes, feel the accelerated ascension energies, the  pure power energy and light codes pouring in from the Great Central Sun. The Lions Gate portal connects us with the star Sirius which alivens our spiritual body. It helps humanity awaken to their higher conscious self.  
 You will also receive the energy of the number 8 and the master number 88 which elevates personal and infinite consciousness, brings abundance of all good things, actualizes knowing, and enhances revelations about your unlimited possibilities and unrestricted capabilities integrating in your physical, mental, emotional,and spiritual beingness. 

Relax into the energy and effortlessly allow this to unfold.  Notice how you radiate the newest light and double infinite love (8 <3 8) as you share it to everyone and everything in the Omniverse.   Smile and be fulfilled.

Divine Blessings. Go now in love and light to uplift and inspire the world.  

Five years ago this month I created the Divine You Blog.  If you have been with me during this time thank you for your support. If you are new, Welcome.   
It's been a couple of years since I wrote about one of the main principles of living as  the Divine You. I recently made a video describing what it's like to connect with your Inner Self, so I decided to include a review "how to" for connection here. 

 ​Connection is a key aspect of living as the Divine You. 
When you have a strong sense of connection to yourself,others,and the greater universe you understand at a heart, cellular, and quantum level that you are not only One with Everything, You are All That IS.  You are the divine spark that ignites consciousness by radiating love, light, energy, and moreness.  You awaken life to the awesome awareness of its boundless abilities.  
 
When I wrote my book  "From Fear to Eternity: 212 Ways to Let Go of Limiting Beliefs and Shift Your Energy into Higher Consciousness Living"
I had been on my metaphysical path for about 10 years.  I'd traveled the world studying shamanism, alchemy, higher consciousness, energy work and the metaphysical realms. I studied with wise people,including a shaman, priestess's, vibrational healers and more. I channeled ascended masters and other higher frequency beings.  

I believe when you are on your spiritual path there comes a time when you naturally turn inward to your own Divine Self, your inner wisdom.  I began to do this more frequently when writing the book, and that process resulted in my advancing quickly on my spiritual path.  I'll reveal how I do this later in the blog.  

 First, Enjoy this video to get a sense of what connecting feels like.  Relax, take a deep breath and center yourself...

The basic tips I provided in my book were designed for people who were awakening to the awareness that there was more to life than eating, sleeping, working and playing.  If you'd like to know how to be more aware and check in before connecting with the Divine You, click here.   

Basic Connecting with Your Inner Self
Connecting with your inner self, begins with the process of checking in, being aware of what’s going on in your body–mind, emotions and intuition.  Connect with the cells the bloodstream and the organs.  You might also notice some signs of being in higher vibration, such as feeling expanded in your heart area. 
  
 Are your body’s signs related to positive thoughts  or are they connected to a limited belief? Are you connecting the current situation with a past one and re-experiencing those old emotions? Checking in gives you an opportunity to notice how draining your story is and whether you are in higher or lower vibration energy. 

Connecting is quick and easy when you know how.  It becomes an automatic process.  Here are the steps to practice until it becomes as natural as brushing your teeth.

Connecting With Your Divine Self
Being in a relationship with your Divine Self , is a magnificent phenomenon
I would actually suggest you schedule at least a half hour each week to go on a date with the Divine You.  Spend some time and get to know your Divine Self. 
Here are some helpful hints on how to start.  
Get Into a Blissful State.   

• Breathe, 
• Think of something that makes you feel ecstatic or extremely grateful so you are in the highest possible frequency. 
• Feel your heart expand,  
• Feel the energy zinging thru all your cells. 
• Experience the freedom and ability to access all energy and information. 

Go Into your Deep Wild Core

• Identify the place deep within where your Divine spark ignites your passion. You can feel your torroidal energy flowing up thru and around you and connecting with the omniversal energy. Notice where the power of creation is highest.  For me its between the area many people identify as their 2nd and 3rd chakras, but between the spine and mid-line.  
•  Energize that core with a lightning bolt of energy, feel it explode like a firework or if you prefer, gently feed the spark, with the tinder of multi-hued love and light and Allness.  
• Observe the Divine You Emerge and embrace her with a welcoming hug. 

Expand Your Field

• Feel yourself expand beyond your physicality, go into the cosmic field of timelessness.  
• Find a delightful place where you can communicate with your Divine Self, getting to know your authentic being. 
• Feel the unique energy of the Divine You. 
• What do you really like? 
• What is really important to you? 
• What nurtures You? 
• Invite an image  of your greatest Divine Being to come to you.  At one time I saw myself as a regal queen of the universe.  Now I am a brilliant white omniversal light.  This image will offer a quick access point when you want to connect to that great creative ability.  By doing this often you will be establishing cell memory and laying down neural pathways in high frequency.
• When you date your Divine Greater Self have a conversation abut what next steps you would ​love to do?  
• What message would you like to share with your nearest and dearest?  What message do you have for the world?  
• Experience just Being with your Divinity with no expectations.  

Merge with your Divine Self

• When you feel this encounter is complete, invite the Divine You on your next extended date
• then merge with your Divine Self and live as ONE within. 

Live each moment as the Divine You and instantly reconnect with your Divine Self if you loose touch and slip into old programs.  

I'd love to hear how you connect with your Divine Self. Click here to share on the Divine U Facebook page

I was listening to Kirtana, one of my favorite chanteuses today and the words of her song "Mundaka" derived from the Upanishads, the ancient Sanscrit Vedas that are "summits of thought on mankind and the universe, designed to push human ideas to their very limit and beyond. They give us both spiritual vision and philosophical argument" [1]

Kirtana describes the Consciousness you encounter when you go into the higher state where you can practice divine discernment. My skin always raises in godbumps  and my spine tingles when I hear this song.
 
....Eyes can not see, nor speech describe me.
Not be reason nor by effort am I known.
Not by ritual, nor by merit,
but by the grace of the Self, the Self is shown.

Next she describes the conditions Consciousness needs to connect with you and what you need to do to gain that consciousness.  This state is where you need to be to be able to discern wisely.

Pure and resplendent,
I shine in a mind that is calm,
when the knots of the heart are loosed
and the senses are withdrawn.
With consciousness as your arrow,
and meditation as your bow,
make me your target;
pull back your mind
and let if fly home
Free your mind of sense distraction.
Inattachment to action desires bind.
 
The following description of Source Consciousness in her song fans the divine flame within me. This doesn't really relate to discernment, but I am being called to share it none the less.  

I am life. I am speech. I am mind.
I am immortality.
Everything that moves or breathes
or blinks has its being in me.
In your inmost heart I dwell -
that is my citadel.
There is no space I do not fill.
Through my light all these others shine.
 ...... Within everything, without everything - unborn.
I am even beyond the tendency to take form.

And the final benefit of connection is.... oneness and enlightenment. 

Just as rivers running to the sea
lose their individuality,
so the enlightened merge with me,
no longer bound by name or form.

​So I invite you to connect with Source and use Divine Discernment to determine your next best action in each and every now moment.

By the way, my apologies.  I couldn't believe its been months since I wrote a blog post here. I've been connecting with your essence when posting on my Divine U Facebook page and Gina-Dianne Harding_author page rather than this blog.  I found myself focusing on learning how to make videos when I did a 30 day video challenge in March on Facebook.  I've also been writing a metaphysical, spiritual fantasy.  I'm loving the process.  So I'll be including videos in my upcoming posts. If you want to read excerpts from my first draft of my book in progress like my Gina-Dianne Harding Author  page on Facebook.

I was pondering what to write about for today's blog,  since I am deeply embracing writing the second draft my next fantasy about Mary Magdalene and her disciples,  When I saw Sharon Lyn Shepard's post about duality I knew this was what wanted to be shared.   I have been taking a deep breath every time I read something on Facebook or Instagram that refers to a dualistic idea, since I have been living in a world where there is no more dualism in the form of judgmental contrast for some time now. Sharon says it so well. Question your assumptions and notice when contrasts are stated or even implied. Even the word positive can imply negativity. Choose your words carefully and look at the world from a greater, higher perspective.    

The Game of Duality

​It is said . . .
“There is no light without shadow.”
“There is no good without bad.”
“Suffering is a natural part of life.”
“You can not know light without darkness.”

Unless. . .
The sun is directly above you. . . where you cast no shadow.
You are experiencing all that life has to offer . . . without the need to judge.
You flow with the natural unfoldment of life. . . instead of trying to control it.
You are radiating light from within you. . . which dispels any darkness.


I have come to realize that duality is a game humans play.
A game we’ve been taught by those who have never realized they’ve been confined within duality. A game with rules perpetrated by religion and government to control the masses. A game most humans have never been courageous enough to break free, to explore beyond the “rules” of duality.

As children, we are born free of the beliefs and bonds of duality. For the first few years of my life I recall living in my own delightful world of magic. Until rule by rule, I was eventually imprisoned by the game of duality and the magic of life disappeared.

But times have changed. By remembering the truth of who I AM, my Inner-Knowing has surfaced once again. And it doesn’t coincide with what I’ve been taught by my parents, teachers, society, religion, or mass consciousness.

Those of us who are awakening from the hypnosis of duality that we’ve been living most of our lives have begun questioning everything. It begins with things that are no longer working for us: health issues from the stress of overwork, depression from living a heart impoverished life, relationship breakups, loss of jobs, homes, and the snuffed out spark of life.
​
As I look around I realize our newest generation isn’t buying into the old games of duality. They see no need to rebel against it. They are simply creating life from a sea of infinite potentials, free of the old indoctrination and the old bonds of society. Whereas our generation has had to summon the courage to break free, they were never imprisoned to begin with.

Even the new age movement is still caught up in the game of duality, as demonstrated by the quotes streaming through my Facebook news-feed. Quotes like the sentences at the top of this page. Quotes of separation and divisiveness from the Inner-Knowing of our GodSelf.

These are the beliefs that imprison us from living our full potential. Beliefs that hold the magic of life at bay. Beliefs that rob us from manifesting our dreams. Beliefs that are nothing more than the illusion of duality, a game we’ve been playing for far too long.

I hereby offer you the card to “Break out of Prison”, pass by GO, collect your infinite $$$ and dump the Monopoly game board into the trash along with all your long held dualistic beliefs.


High Ho! High Ho!
Magic is enlivened once again and your infinite reality awaits!!!

Adela and I are on the same wavelength as far as New Years Resolutions go.  In this new energy where we create anew in every moment they are too prescribed and don't flow.  I do however have a word, or this year I have a theme which will remind me of what I value in my life. I have found many rituals for the New Year  involve letting go and I love that this doesn't. Help yourself to any of these ideas which resonate with you.  And be sure and check out Adela's offerings.

Are you busy crafting your New Year Resolutions? Me neither. I do, however, create my own rituals to invoke awareness and unleash the creative power of my intentions.

Rituals are a powerful way to create sacred portals where you mingle with the Divine. A new year is a doorway to a dimension of infinite imaginings. Why not tap into the collective energy of millions of folks crystalizing their visions and promises for the new year?
All you need to create your own ritual is a sacred intention to align with the infinite forces of creation. Before you begin any ritual you consecrate the space so that the highest frequencies may be invoked. From there allow your brilliance to guide you in what's best. You can create a ritual that you use, and even embellish, every year or you can be guided by your imagination in the moment.
Here is a 3-step ritual that I created to come up with my Visionary Manifesto:
​
Invoke Sacred Space
Use whatever elements help you to embody this energy. Light a candle to call in your more expanded perspective. You might also like to invoke as many senses as possible: use incense, music or mantras, sacred objects, etc.  Stand. Energetically invoke your cosmic self and enlightened guides. Close your eyes and allow the rhythm of your breath to bridge your body and your greater being. Feel yourself expanding easily and effortless until you are as big as the universe and beyond. Feel yourself as your most infinitely expanded expression. When you are feeling fully connected to All That Is, open your eyes and sit down with a pad and pen. Make sure you do this long hand and not on the computer, it makes a difference.

Step 1. Celebrate Your Current Year Theme. 
Imagine that you're highlighting the major events of your year as if you were a journalist. If you get stuck, think of those experiences that created a deep impact and moved you out of your comfort zone. They might be a new awareness or accomplishment, a lesson or an  insight.
Take 5-10 minutes to draft the headlines. Remember, you're a journalist reporting on the year's top events. Now look at those headlines and notice the unifying theme. Bask in the sensation of everything that transpired and who you have become as a consequence.

• What is one word that would sum that up?
• Were you more courageous?
• Did you create clear boundaries?
• Did you take a bolder stand in your business?

Be specific. Celebrate your becoming! Yahoo! When the sensation of celebration comes to completion, take 3 deep breaths to close out this portion of the exercise.

Step 2. Invoke the Coming Year's Visionary Theme.
Close your eyes again and sink into the sensation of your infinite flow.

1. Feel your cosmic connection to yourself, to your friends and family, colleagues, clients, and community. Feel the energy of your Essence rippling out like a pebble in a pond, touching everything, everyone, everywhere. Feel yourself in this cosmic pond of consciousness and feel where your ripple meets your becoming.
2. Notice what words or thoughts popcorn into your consciousness. Allow them to rise up off the surface of the water as a bubble.
3. Notice which bubble captures your attention most. This is your theme for the upcoming year. Pop that bubble and discover your one word theme for the upcoming year. If you'd like a more physical way to do this imagine that you are popping the bubbles and as you do write down the words that pop.
4. Once they're on the page notice which one excites you most. That's your Visionary Theme. If you want to go an extra step, capture those words in a word cloud just like the one pictured in this post. You can use free mind mapping software or word cloud software to create these. You can then print them out and post where you'll see every day, like your desktop, work area, mirror or refrigerator.
5. Take 3 deep breaths to close out this portion of the exercise

.
Step 3. Craft Your Visionary Manifesto.
Write out how you plan to bring your Visionary Theme into your world. A Visionary Manifesto is a published verbal declaration of your intentions, motives, and visions. You probably want to dedicate a minimum of 30 minutes for this portion. I was inspired by Simon Sinek's Golden Circle concept in coming up with my own Visionary Manifesto.
Here are 3 questions that will help guide you in crafting yours. Dedicate at least one short paragraph to each one:
​

• Why Does It Matter? There's no greater fuel for any vision than a compelling reason. This is your cause, your movement, that thing that you are willing to risk who you are for what you can become. It is generally something much bigger than you alone can accomplish. It is your clarion call to a grander vision, something that's only possible through collaboration with others. Ensure that your 2014 Visionary Theme taps into the rocket fuel of your passion and vision. Focus on what matters most to you. You'll know you've hit on your why because you'll have plenty to say about it.

​

• How Will You Do It? Here's where you get to bring in your unique perspective, gifts, strengths and talent to live into your Visionary Theme. Will you be embodying this theme in a solitary fashion or will you be doing it with others? Will you be using your artistic or organizing characteristics? Will you be speaking, writing or doing videos about this? The more you align your how with the ways in which you show up in your natural brilliance will make the embodiment of your Visionary Theme a breeze.

​

• What Will You Do? Focus on what you will do to bring your  Visionary Theme into being. For example, if your theme is ‘streamline,' think of how you will implement this in your business. Will you eliminate those activities that don't bring you business results? Will you focus on one social media site, instead of five? If you're looking to streamline in your life how will you do that? Will you focus your energy on spending time with the folks that matter most and cut out the social activities that drain your energy? Will you donate the clothing and books that you no longer use? The more specific you are in how you will bring your 2014 Visionary Theme to life, the more movement that you will create and the more you'll have to celebrate at the end of the year.

Take 3 deep breaths to close out this portion of the exercise.

To complete the ritual stand and breathe, relax, expand as big as the Universe and beyond, until everything is contained within … yes, you are that big. Feel the gratitude overflowing from your heart and share it with everyone, everything, everywhere. And so it is. Blow out your candle.

Post Ritual Play
To craft your Visionary Manifesto take the answers to the 3 questions and put them into 3 paragraphs. Print it, sign it, post it. Read it out loud, visit with it … a lot. Daily would be optimal. It takes only minutes to do this and it has a huge payoff.
If you want to power it up share your Visionary Manifesto with others. Share it with a trusted friend or colleague. Post it to your inner circle like my Evolutionary Adventurers Facebook Group. Share it on social media. Every time you share it you discover more about your Visionary Theme. Feel free to tweak the writing for flow. Edit it. Share it with friends and get feedback. Revise it again.
Place your Visionary Manifesto somewhere where you will see it every day. Read it out loud. Feel free to update as you put it into practice. You will more readily bring your Theme into being the more that you engage it and take action on it. Let it be your guiding light throughout the year.
Your Visionary Manifesto taps into the field of infinite potential. When you name it and claim it you are owning your power as a cosmic citizen and creator. This year let's unleash your visionary genius and gift it to all. Let's saturate in the stardust of possibility and co-create a magical and wondrous world. Happy New Year!

 It’s Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada. 

Here on the West Coast it has been beautiful with the trees having started to change into their multicoloured hues of yellow, orange, red and wine. It turned cold a couple of days ago and I've gone out in a heavy jacket for my morning walks. I'll dig out my gloves if the cold continues. There was frost on the pumpkins last night. I have indeed been thankful for the autumn splendor around me. 

When you live in a state of higher consciousness - gratitude, (one of the highest frequency emotions akin to unconditional love) is an ever present part of life.  Yet Thanksgiving is a reminder - an opportunity to yet again consciously appreciate the sacredness of all life and every Thing in creation.

As I write this I’m reminded of a quote about the indispensable importance of gratitude in our life.  
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our  treasures.                                                                                                  Thorton Wilder

One way you can ensure gratefulness and thanksgiving is a part of your everyday life is to live mindfully.
I personally don’t think you can be mindful without deeply connecting to the object or action of your mindfulness practice. And that connection expands so that you feel the wonderfulness of it and experience appreciation of having it in your life. From there it’s just a baby step to gratitude and thankfulness.

Inherent in the energy of thankfulness is giving and receiving. It is an energy cycle and if you don't include both aspects the cycle is stifled and breaks down.  In other words if you don't receive the universe thinks you don't want the abundance it is graciously bestowing on you. Many of us have difficulty with the receiving end of it.  
I feel I receive so much from my readers that I want to give you a thanksgiving token. 

I want to share a meditation from my book From Fear to Eternity 212 Ways to Let Go of Limiting Beliefs and Shift Your Energy into Higher Consciousness Living.  It demonstrates how to be mindful on the go in as little as one minute.
 
I suggest you begin by getting into a higher vibration first.  
 Access Higher Vibes
·         Get into a high frequency state by taking a deep breath. Relax, release all tension and feel white or golden energy zinging thru every cell in your body.
·         Think about a place, object or activity that results in you feeling extreme gratitude or bliss. It should be something that makes you feel ecstatic, rapturous or thankful to be alive.   It may be something that gets your blood pumping or moves you into a state where there is no thinking, where you forget about yourself and are oblivious to everything else.
·         Lose yourself in the moment.
·         Release the thought that stimulated the feeling of gratitude or bliss and just feel the intense feeling of thanksgiving, elation and ecstasy.

Meditation on the Go
 “Look around at your environment.   Connect with something of beauty, art or nature and ground yourself by describing out loud what you see for two minutes.
 Example: “I see a beautiful picture of an amber carved, translucent jaguar, the light catching its sinewy stalking motion. I see my computer in the corner surrounded by books and paper, crystal orbs, and essential oils. I see my serene orange cat sitting motionless, looking out the window.  I see the gorgeous evergreen trees and a grey sky.
[Feel a sense of connection and gratitude for the creators and creation and everyone who had a part in bringing it to you.  Feel the gratitude expand and fill you to the brim, exploding into your field.  Imagine seeing that gratitude touching everyone and everything in your environment, in the world and in the cosmos]
Then be quiet. You’ll notice you are fully present in the moment. Most people find they experience more mental clarity as well as a more peaceful state. “
 
I’ve found this mediation is really powerful to demonstrate how being mindful keeps you in the now moment.  There is less chance to wander into the past or future.  You can deeply imbue the feeling of gratitude it inspires  into every aspect of your life. Being connected to the energy in this way also ensures you are living in higher consciousness.
Try being “mindful on the go” when you do ordinary everyday tasks, such as showering or doing dishes.  Use all your senses.   You will eventually realize you are spending greater amounts of time in gratitude for life.

​
I hope you have a wonderful day wherever you are in the world. I am grateful you have taken the time to read and perhaps practice this mindfulness meditation or are just experiencing thankfulness.   By making that choice you are shifting the world into a higher vibration.  I give thanks that you have made the choice to live a joyful, fulfilled life.  
 
 
You know by now that I’d love for you to ask any questions, make comments or share your experiences on my facebook page.

 I feel really irritated when I read graphics on Facebook and Pinterest that say Life is  a struggle.  What!  Yes I admit it.  It sometimes pushes my buttons for a moment.  Then I think ... Oh I don't want to have that in my reality and ignore it.  But today in my video group the prompt was to do a video about an old adage we didn't believe.  So I decided to get into a high vibeing frequency and from a place of love, refute this belief.  Then refocus on what I imagine we all want.... ease and grace.  

The idea behind this outdated belief is that you need to struggle to get ahead.  It takes hard work and you have to keep on trying and trying.  When indeed, you do need to take action when you want something but it can happen by aligning your frequency with the frequency of what you want.  

For those of you who are new readers of this blog  here is  the process to activate your desires..  

1. Take a deep breath in
2. Relax and let go of tension as you breathe out
3. Think of something or someplace that makes you feel blissful or extremely grateful since these are two of the highest frequencies possible in 3D living
4. Let go of the thought and keep the feeling expanding it so it resonates thru your whole body and out into your energy field
5. Set your intention for what you desire
6. Use all your senses to feel yourself with the desired outcome (not how you get it)
7. Let go of the desire
8. Be grateful that it is coming.  

If you have been living a divine life for a longer period of time you can just be certain you are in a high vibration state and have the idea flow thru you, knowing that no lower vibration outcomes can occur since there is no vibrational resonance.  

Isn't it grand to know that life can be lived with ease and grace as you choose what next fun thing you want to do or be?

You have probably heard the anacronym  FOMO or  fear of missing out.
When I first heard that term used I thought  “that’s not me.  I don’t mind missing out on social events.  In fact it’s probably not a problem for most introverts.” 

Then I learned more and realized it could also include fear of missing out on things that upgrade our technology and further our careers   “Ok, so maybe it is relevant to me.” FOMO is causing people to have overwhelming anxiety and fear that they are not keeping up with their peers.  “No, I’m not worried about that.”  

At some point I realized there is something I have a fear of missing out on and that’s a learning opportunity -- especially one that is about something new, sometimes obscure, that few people yet know about.  When I hear about a wonderful new program where I will learn a new strategy that will   be useful in expressing my passion; That is what hooks me.  Sometimes I end up do training that I may even use someday.  So is there something I need to do about my FOMO?


Well, this week I heard a new term that intrigued me JOMO . It stands for Joy of Missing Out.  Now here is something I can relate to.  It’s being promoted as an alternative for FOMO and involves enjoying the present moment, and being aware of the awesome things that are all around you.
You appreciate what you have, take a break from social media which fosters FOMO, and use your time to relax spending time with yourself.

It is what I’ve been advocating you do to live a higher conscious life.  Relish the simple pleasures you enjoy. Be mindful when you are doing every little thing.  Connect with nature and spend a few moments breathing in the oxygen from that tree that you are passing. Take time to BE not do. 

So if someone entices you with an activity that may result in your endless regret if you bypass it, Remember:  You can tell them you’re going to chill and choose JOMO.
 

Do you have constant  mind chatter or monkey mind?   I know several tricks to quiet your mind so you can focus, meditate, or fall asleep.   Make sure you can focus on what's important to you by practicing this when you have some time.. Let me know how it works for you in the comments below or on my Facebook or You Tube pages.

This Friday July 27/Saturday July 28 we are going to experience the longest full moon eclipse of the century. This eclipse will be most powerfully during the totality for 1 hour and 43 minutes! There will be a partial eclipse as well, so the energy will be potent for almost 4 hours. I won’t be able to see it here in Canada since the full eclipse begins at 12:30 PT (3:30 ET), reaches totality at 1:21 PT  (4:21pm ET)  and ends at 2:13 PT (5:13 ET) with a  Partial eclipse occurring at 11:24PT  and ending at 3:19 pm PT.  If you live in Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America you may be able to see it.  Check out the Eclipse Calculator HERE to see what times it is for you & if will be able to see it where you live.

Astronomy Factoids
A total lunar eclipse happens when the earth takes position in a straight line between the moon and sun. That blocks the direct sunlight that normally makes the moon glow. When these 3 celestial bodies are perfectly lined up the earth’s atmosphere scatters blue light from the sun while bending red light onto the moon giving it its name blood moon. You can use binoculars to see a close up view of the moon.  You will also be able to see Mars as a bright star because it is at its closest point to the earth of the year.  It might have a bit of a reddish tinge too.  I read one article which suggests that you “moon bake” or do a ceremony during the eclipse to honour and take in the energy. 

Astrological Possibilities
Also at this eclipse, there are six planets in retrograde, the sun is in Leo and the moon in Aquarius.  Astrologically there are those who predict gloom and doom, but since I practice divine living I’ll be sharing those high vibeing possibilities you can choose from.  Tune into the portal of this eclipse and make an evolutionary leap along with many others who are ready to do so.

With the Sun in Leo it can be a fun carefree time while everything on earth changes for the better.  The July full moon is also known as blessing moon since now is a time when plants flowers and the summer crops are abundant. Roll out those hazy, lazy days of summer. Those days when you can relax and reflect on the good things in your life. 
 
The moon in Aquarius can lead to expanding into even higher consciousness, bringing idealistic innovative dreams or evolutionary ideas into fruition, and revelling in the exciting changes that will occur.  Aquarius is a non-conformist sign which encourages doing the unexpected, ignoring past patterns and structures and moving into the newest moreness of the beyond.  Celebrate what makes you divinely different from the other 7 billion humans on the planet. 

​You can align your actions with your divine life energy, and your original soul creation, find clarity and new answers in your thoughts and emotions and allow your desires to flow easily and effortlessly to you. If you have any co-creative projects on the go then direct the power of this eclipse to amp up your activities. Allow yourself to evolve to become an even more intense divine being. Step into the flow and then let go of any boundaries to be it all and experience the toddlerhood of our adventures and undertakings in this the golden era of highest consciousness, harmony and collaboration.   Have a great eclipse.
