The Bridge

The bridge: the gap of time between eclipses. (Often this is called the gateway) This is a two week period between the solar eclipse on the 12th and the lunar eclipse on the 28th and a very patent time for energy. This is The Bridge of Consciousness. It serves as an energetic corridor moving you from one phase of personal growth or self-awareness to the next. This is a time for deeper self explorations and a time to step outside of loops you may have been stuck in. 

This is the time to release yourself from the grips of those patterns and let go of old ways of thinking with that energy of the Full Moon coming in next week. If you want change, you have to walk in that direction and start to let go of what you think is coming to allow what is to unfold. Letting go of control is what the bridge offers us as we step into a new era of self. (if we choose) 

There is an increase in emotional sensitivity during this time too, this can amplify how you’re feeling and bring those deeper feelings to the surface for reexamination. This energy build up is great for the themes of Pisces and working with the incoming emotionality with that energy. As these patterns in your life rise to the surface during this bridge, allow yourself to lean into them a little more. These triggers coming up are your deepest teachers and will help you to access your higher self when you can walk through them. 

The bridge helps us to see what has been hurting us, blocking the pathway forward and allows us the space to clear the clutter of our minds that keeps us trapped in loops of behaviors and thinking.

So if you’re feeling the energy, the pull, the desire to level up; welcome to the bridge. This is your opportunity to take a step outside of the patterns that have kept you feeling stuck. And you can start that today. 

Ask yourself,

“What behaviors feel like weights that pull me down?” 

“What are some of my looped thoughts?”  

I’ll give you a very personal example of my own process as I am currently walking through a lower esteem dip. These happen to me because of the way I was raised in a very toxic environment with little to no encouragement. I often get stuck in mental cycles of not feeling good enough, feeling behind, or feeling “stupid”. These are some of my deepest shadows, the way I feel about myself and my work when I hit a lull. 

During the bridge for me: I am focusing on my inner landscape work. I am doing my positive affirmations more than usual, and adding these ways to bring out the light every day as I have been feeling a little dim. I am stepping outside  of the loops of negative self beliefs and extreme expectations of myself. Letting go of both of these (to the best of my ability) is what creates space for positive self image and just simply feeling better about my place in my own life. 

I asked myself these questions and have been journaling a lot about stepping outside of these patterns of thinking and into a more neutral stance. Using the power of my mind, of my own inner voice to shift my thinking. (this is why I love affirmations, they literally work). I am doing my mirror affirmations right now, my morning positive self talks, and I am writing in my journal about all of the things I have done well so I can mentally build on that. I still have to do the work if I want to continue to feel good. It's not just a one time deal, healing is a lifelong process of showing up for myself. 

I say that to say, we are here on the bridge together. You are not alone in the work that you’re doing and I am happy to be walking this path with you. I will write up an energy breakdown for the Full Moon in Pisces next week. 

Happy Eclipse szn
