Across various metaphysical sciences, the signs are aligning toward a significant shift. It’s an intense period, and how we prepare ourselves can greatly impact the potential benefits we receive. It’s why I’ve dedicated my classes to the practice of raising vibrations in preparation for the upcoming shift in cosmic energy.
In numerology, 2024 is an 8 universal year, associated with themes of karma and balance. In Chinese astrology, we will enter Period 9, marking a 20-year cycle commencing on February 3, 2024. In Western astrology, Pluto, the planet of transformation, presently resides at the final anaretic degree (29 degrees) in Capricorn until January and will return from September 1 to November 19 before transitioning into Aquarius for the next 20 years.
Astrologers caution that with Pluto positioned at the anaretic degree, signifies a phase of potential upheaval, foretelling substantial changes in governments, corporations, countries, and institutions. While the intensity of Pluto’s influence can feel overwhelming, it’s crucial to exercise restraint and cultivate inner composure to navigate the ensuing challenges. Self-mastery and self-control are critical in order to avoid impulsive actions that may lead to regret.
Renowned astrologer Pam Gregory advises us to adopt a mindset of thriving amid the year’s unfolding drama. Embracing the perspective that everything is happening for our growth, rather than to our detriment, can shift us away from victimhood consciousness. She emphasizes that the year ahead will be characterized by volatility on multiple levels, urging the necessity of establishing a regular practice that reconnects us to peace and inner bliss, such as breath-work, meditation, nature immersion, toning, chanting, bare feet on the earth or engaging with sacred music.
In light of these imminent changes, I’d like to share a meditation for emotional balance.
This meditation is particularly beneficial during moments of unease, worry, or irrationality, as it aids in slowing down the breath rate to just 4 breaths per minute.
By exerting indirect control over our breath, we can effectively calm the mind and subdue disruptive behaviors, facilitating inner balance. It’s recommended to drink a glass of water before practicing this meditation.
Here’s how to do the meditation: Sit in Easy Pose or in a chair. Rest your arms across your chest and interlock your hands under your armpits, keeping your palms open and pressed against your body. Elevate your shoulders toward your ears without tensing your neck muscles. Engage in a slight neck lock. With closed eyes, allow your breath to naturally slow down. Continue this practice for 3–11 minutes.
Meditation for Emotional Balance
f you have a meditation that you do, practice it regularly as it will serve as a valuable tool for navigating the upcoming period of change with centeredness and emotional stability.
Ground yourself in the breath and with practice. As always, am with you in your practice towards your highest and best self.
In loving service,
Rosan
