Tonight's crimson lunar eclipse offers us an intense and high vibrational potential to put forth our intentions and anchor them in a sacred space.
As our planet positions itself perfectly between sun and moon, our usual silvery companion transforms into a stunning coppery-red orb—showing us that even the most everyday aspects of our lives contain unexpected dimensions of beauty and mystery.
This rare celestial dance isn't just visually captivating—it's a cosmic invitation to personal transformation.
We'll start this meditation with a focus on appreciation for ourselves. One of my personal intentions is to create a space of love, kindness, compassion, and deep appreciation for myself, specifically in the feminine aspect of being a mother and an entrepreneur.
There are days when I look at my schedule and wonder how I'm going to accomplish my lists and create a harmonious space for my family. I am continually reminded to give myself a pause between appointments and that I do not have to run my schedule so full.
Where are you called to be kinder and more appreciative of yourself?
Where can you create space for compassionate self care?
It's important to bring our focus inward and to embrace our emotions and all of the footsteps of our journey that have brought us here. Having compassion and forgiveness for ourselves lends us more bandwidth to appreciate everything and everyone we come into contact with in our lives, even if those things don't always seem like blessings.
The Crimson Moon's Transformative Power
During tonight's total lunar eclipse, something extraordinary happens. When Earth positions itself perfectly between sun and moon, our atmosphere acts like a filter. The shorter blue light waves scatter away while the longer red ones bend around our planet and reflect off the lunar surface—creating the mesmerizing red glow we're witnessing tonight.
Many indigenous traditions view this phenomenon with deep reverence. Several Native cultures recognized these rusty-hued moons as powerful times of change and renewal. The very name "blood moon" connects to ancient seasonal wisdom, when October's Hunter's Moon was traditionally called the "blood moon" as it helped illuminate the autumn hunting grounds.
For those attuned to natural cycles, tonight's crimson moon represents a:
cosmic reset button for emotional patterns
doorway for releasing what's completed its purpose
natural time for reconciliation and healing
opportunity to acknowledge shadow aspects with compassion
According to wisdom keepers of various traditions, celestial bodies appear to engage in a cosmic dance during an eclipse, making this an especially potent time to resolve our own inner conflicts and restore harmony.
Essential Oil & Crystal Alchemy
For anyone who is new to our meditations, I incorporate one essential oil and one crystal. This brings one aspect of the plant kingdom and one aspect of the mineral kingdom to our meditation, so we can work synergistically with their alchemy and the power of their frequency and vibrational patterning.
When we receive the fullness of their spirit medicine and alchemy, we gain a magnificent potential to balance our emotions, release lower energies and garner greater appreciation for ourselves and for each other. This allows for healing deeply at the cellular and DNA levels.
Essential Oil Alchemy: Geranium
Geranium medicine calls us into the deep reservoir of feminine strength, wisdom and power. I love using this oil for coming into contact and communion with the wise woman within me, especially when I feel scattered or overwhelmed.
This is a wonderful oil to bring cohesion back to ourselves, to reframe our focus and self-contact, and to come into not only the heart space, but the sacral chakra as well, which is where we connect with our emotional body and feminine aspect.
Geranium is a wonderful essential oil to use when we're doing clearing work around our inner female aspect, our relationship with our mother dynamics, and our bloodline on the mother's side. All of that can be modulated with the frequency of Geranium.
If you don't have Geranium essential oil, that's okay, because we're going to be working with the cosmic consciousness and vital life force. If you have another essential oil you would like to work with, go ahead and pick it out.
Crystal Alchemy: Pink Calcite
Pink Calcite medicine is one of softness, gentle love and compassion. It encourages us to be more loving and appreciative of our journey in life. It is a stone of focusing inward with loving care for self before we lend that focus and appreciation anywhere else. It also offers a calm and cooling energy to inflamed emotions and frenetic thoughts.
Around the holidays, I like to give this wonderful stone as a part of a self-care package. It is a potent reminder to deeply commune with our inner being with the energies of love, gratitude, forgiveness, embrace, harmony, and self-acceptance because that is the ultimate nature of our soul journey.
Crimson Moon Appreciation Meditation
If you have an essential oil that you'd like to use, place one drop on the palm of your left hand—which receives higher frequencies—and take a deep breath in for about 30 seconds, as you invite in the clarity of your intention. This inhalation of the essential oil opens a new memory cell within the brain and limbic system, and it opens a new circuit of light and healing.
Invite your intention to open and to receive—in accordance with your I AM presence—the most benevolent outcome for this healing meditation. Invite your intention to align with the grandest experience of appreciation that is first focused inward. When our containers are full of love, appreciation and nurturing, then we are able to focus outward.
Take a deep breath in, allowing your breath to deepen into the lower belly. Invite your breath to ease in and out. Now bring the focus of your attention to the dantian point—the sphere of light and frequency about an inch and a half below your navel. This is the single note that holds you in the perfection of physical form that you are.
Allow your energy to settle down in this part of your body. On your next breath in, envision a golden line of light dropping down from the very center of your dantian, down through the root chakra—which expands—and simultaneously down through each leg. These golden lines of light move down through the calves and out through the soles of the feet.
The foot chakras expand to drink in the light of connection to the earth. All three lines of light converge at the earth star chakra and sink, moving down effortlessly layer by layer, into the safety, warmth, nourishment, and abundance of Mother Earth.
Let your consciousness drop down to the center of the earth, connecting in with the core crystal at the center. Invite your consciousness to rest here and recalibrate in this chamber of golden light and incredible warmth and comfort. Swirls of golden light and sacred geometric formations begin to encircle you within this chamber as you open yourself to commune with the very heart of Mother Earth. Invite your cells to open and drink in this golden light. Invite each molecule, particle, and subatomic structure in your body to open and receive this golden energy of relaxation, ease, and comfort.
Feel the rich crimson energy of tonight's eclipse resonating through the earth. This potent transformative power surrounds you, offering both release and renewal—just as countless generations before us have recognized this celestial event as a time of profound cleansing and fresh beginnings.
In the very center of this chamber, an enormous column of pink calcite crystal begins to move down from the higher realms, and into and through the very core of the earth. As you bring your awareness and attention to this crystal column, it begins to expand in a sphere of pink light around the chamber. Sweet, floral aromas of rose geranium, lilac, and rose begin to permeate your senses. A light pink ray of light begins to penetrate your heart chakra. The energy is cool, yet comforting, and it eases any heaviness or heartache that you carry.
Breathe as this pink frequency of light vibrates and the calcite frequency begins to ease its way into each cell. Your cells open to receive this light and vital life force and this frequency of healing, gentleness, and harmony. This frequency now begins to beam from one cell to another, lifting your vibration. Light pink light now embodies each of the trillions of cells within your body. It moves through your blood, bone, and marrow. This pink healing frequency moves through each gland, organ, and system of your body, recalibrating your frequency, and lifting and transmuting places of heaviness, sadness, hopelessness.
Now these pink rays of light move into each chakra and meridian to cleanse, clear, and lift your frequency. Your chakras open and expand to drink in this light of harmony. On your next breath in, bring the focus of your awareness into the very center of your heart, the Holy of Holies, the zero-point field of limitless potential, and rest your consciousness there.
You are invited to come into a deep sense of appreciation for yourself, and for each breath you have taken since the first, for your courage to come here now at this time of great unfoldment and shift to bring your light into places that have held darkness for thousands of years, for every step you have taken to bring you here now. Bless each footstep. Bless each breath. Do so as if you were at the feet of the most holy deity, the brightest spark of source and divinity, for that is what you are.
As the ruby-hued moonlight surrounds you tonight, feel what's ready to be released from your life. What patterns, beliefs, or relationships is this celestial alignment illuminating that have completed their purpose? Earth-centered wisdom teaches us that this crimson moon time is particularly powerful for shedding what no longer nurtures your growth.
Breathe, as this light of recognition floods your being. Breathe, as your field expands and your soul unfurls its light and quintessence. Breathe in a sense of appreciation for every moment you have suffered, every tear you have shed, and every pain you have embraced. Take a breath of appreciation for every aspect of yourself that you deem imperfect, for there are no imperfections within you.
Breathe deeply as the light and grace of divine consciousness surrounds and expands within you. Invite your appreciation to expand your joy, light, pleasure, play, and radiance. When you feel completely full, illuminate your appreciation for all of your blessings, your cornucopia of grand abundance—in whatever form and fashion it appears in your life.
Take a breath of gratitude and expand your sphere of appreciation to all of your loved ones and all those within your inner circle. Allow your heart to open even more. Invite this appreciation to overflow into all facets of the natural world, all kingdoms of life upon the sacred planet, including all animals, plants, minerals, and matter—from the soil to the concrete, and from the forest to the sky scrapers.
Your vibration of appreciation and love lifts the frequency of all matter, forms, structures, and kingdoms. Through this silence and communion, we become the embodiment of oneness and unity. Let this energy of appreciation continue to build within and all around you.
Breathe deeply and inhale any oil left on your hand to complete this circuit of light and healing, this new memory cell within you. This aroma will unlock the sacred healing and frequency of this meditation.
In great appreciation of the earth, the elements, the frequencies of light—as above, so below—of each other, of one another, and all that is, so be it. When you're ready, you can wiggle your fingers and toes and bring yourself back to the conscious now.
Remember, just as the moon emerges from Earth's shadow transformed yet whole, so too will you emerge from this cosmic alignment—perhaps a bit more radiant, a bit more authentic, but ultimately more fully yourself. As wisdom keepers have long taught, tonight's crimson moon isn't something to fear, but rather a powerful ally in our continual journey of becoming.
