Astrology Hub Hosts Global Meditation to Dispel Dread and Welcome Change for August 21st Eclipse
14 spiritual leaders and astrologers team up to raise funds to teach kids meditation skills
MAUI, Hawaii, July 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The ancients feared eclipses. Should we?
Not if today's astrologers have anything to say about it.
"Anyone who's ever witnessed an eclipse in person raves about the feelings of awe and transcendence it generates. It's a moment of cosmic connection people remember for the rest of their lives," explains Amanda Walsh, founder and CEO of Astrology Hub, a website dedicated to deepening the public's understanding of astrology. "This awe is the stuff that inspires astrology too."
"Since ancient times, astrology has been a tool for deepening our sense meaning and purpose – a spiritual vision I think the world needs especially now," Walsh explains. "It's not just about what might happen to you; it gives us strategies for how to gracefully co-create with the world."
To tap into this transformative power, Astrology Hub will host a global meditation over the two weeks preceding the eclipse. Each day between Aug. 7 and 21 during the free, live online event, some of the world's top spiritual teachers and astrologers will offer a guided meditation on how to anchor love on a personal and collective level.
Meditation guides include George Mumford, Dawa Tarchin Phillips, Hawaiian Kahuna Auntie Mahealani Kuamo'o-Henry, Hank Wesselman, Divine Harmony, Donna Woodwell, Adam Gainsburg, Anita Briggs and Achintya Devi.
All profits from Global Eclipse Meditation recording sales will be donated to the Ivy Child Foundation. Ivy Child's mission is to provide universal mindfulness education to children and communities, prioritizing urban populations and their multicultural needs.
"We know the August solar eclipse will likely become the most-watched cosmic event in human history," says Walsh. "We want to put our collective intention behind planting the seeds of a future we want to live in."
Throughout history and in many parts of the world, eclipses have been viewed with dread, or as ill omens. But they've also been viewed as moments of change and opportunity.
"You bet astrologers are excited. It's no surprise that eclipses have inspired artists and poets for millennia. Eclipse images are found in alchemical texts, in sacred geometry and ancient monuments," said Donna Woodwell, a professional astrologer and Astrology Hub's managing editor.
"In a sense, eclipses have become a symbol for the evolution of the world soul. They represent the union of polarities – of male and female, heaven and Earth, the spirit and the soul. This is nothing short of the alchemical 'Great Work' written in the sky," says Woodwell. "It's an opportunity for us to choose what we want to create."
According to professional astrologers, this is a major eclipse for the U.S. in more ways than one.
"Our nation is literally being eclipsed," says Kathy Biehl, a New York City area astrologer. "Astrologically speaking, it heralds the beginning of some major shifts in the American psyche and culture."
"The eclipse on August 21 is the 'Great American Eclipse' on so many levels. It's not just that it's visible across the country. It's also linked to the U.S. birth chart, as well as to other eclipses preceding pivotal moments in our nation's history, such as the bombing of Hiroshima and the assassination of JFK," explains Biehl.
"And, if the birth information we have for President Trump is correct, it's also occurring at a pivotal place in his own birth chart as well. He can expect some big changes in his own life over the coming months."
"If change is in the stars, let's make the best of it," adds Biehl.
