The concept of "astral waters" is often used symbolically to represent the emotional, intuitive, and energetic currents that flow through the astral plane, the realm of subtle energy beyond the physical. Astral waters can carry energies from emotions, thoughts, and spiritual experiences, and they can be influenced by planetary movements, especially during powerful astrological events like eclipses.
What are Astral Waters?
Astral waters are a metaphor for the fluid, ever-changing nature of the astral realm. Just like physical water, astral waters can become murky or polluted by low-vibrational emotions, fears, negative thoughts, and energetic attachments. They can also flow with clarity and peace when aligned with higher consciousness.
These waters are strongly connected to:
- Emotions and Sensitivity: The astral plane is deeply intertwined with our emotional and energetic bodies, meaning astral waters reflect our emotional states.
- Subconscious and Dreams: They carry the symbolic and emotional content that flows through our dreams, subconscious mind, and spiritual experiences.
- Spiritual and Energetic Influences: Astral waters also respond to external energies, including the movement of celestial bodies, eclipses, moon phases, and cosmic events.
How to Clean Astral Waters
Cleansing astral waters is about purifying your energy field and emotional state, clearing any negative energy or blockages that prevent the free flow of spiritual energy. Below are steps for clearing and aligning astral waters:
-
- Cleansing with Light: Visualize a waterfall of pure white light flowing over you, washing away any energetic debris in your aura and astral body. You can imagine the light filling your astral waters, purifying them and restoring clarity.
-
Emotional Detoxing:
- Reflection: Reflect on what emotions or situations are causing stagnation or turmoil in your energetic body. Journaling can help to pinpoint any emotional imbalances.
- Breathwork: Breathwork, especially techniques like deep belly breathing or alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana), helps regulate the flow of prana (life force) in the body and can cleanse the astral plane by calming emotional turbulence.
- Release negative attachments: Release negative attachments to unhealthy relationships, memories, or situations, and gently sever them with intention.
-
Astral Shielding and Protection:
- Energy Shields: Visualize yourself surrounded by a protective bubble of light, filtering out any negative energies or influences. You can also call upon higher beings, spirit guides, or archangels to guard your energy field.
How Eclipses Influence Astral Waters
Eclipses are powerful astrological events that dramatically influence the astral realm. The eclipse energy often acts as a "cosmic reset," stirring up deep-seated emotional and karmic patterns, especially those hidden in the subconscious or astral plane. This makes the astral waters highly active, and potentially turbulent, during these times.
-
Emotional Intensification: During an eclipse, suppressed emotions or unresolved issues can rise to the surface, like debris stirred up in a lake. The energy can feel overwhelming if your astral waters are already murky with emotional or energetic blockages. It’s essential to focus on grounding and emotional processing during this time.
-
Cleansing and Purging: Eclipses are often seen as moments of powerful transformation, pushing us to release old patterns that no longer serve us. This creates an opportunity to cleanse and purify astral waters by letting go of emotional baggage, past life karma, and negative energies from the past. Emotional purges might happen naturally during this period, making it an excellent time for deep cleansing.
-
Heightened Intuition and Psychic Sensitivity: The astral plane is highly active during eclipses, leading to heightened intuition, psychic awareness, and vivid dreams. Astral waters may become more fluid, helping you access deeper spiritual insights. However, this can also leave you more vulnerable to energetic disruptions, so maintaining clear boundaries and practicing energetic hygiene is essential.
-
Transformation of Energetic Currents: Eclipses, particularly those involving water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), can reshape the flow of astral waters, dissolving energetic blockages or outdated emotional patterns and allowing for renewal. The eclipse acts as a powerful vortex of energy, offering opportunities for spiritual growth and realignment.
-
Manifestation and Re-alignment: The alignment of the Sun, Moon, and Earth during an eclipse creates a unique window for manifesting new realities. By cleansing your astral waters and setting clear intentions, you can use this eclipse energy to shift to a higher timeline or manifest positive changes. The purified astral waters will carry your manifestations more clearly and fluidly into the physical realm.
