So here I am on Day Two in London. I’ve been blessed with a (shortish) sleep at S&N’s flat while they have been at the hospital in the pre-labour ward overnight. I’ve just (at 6.30am) received the news that my beautiful sister’s active labour has begun. I’m allowed to join them in the hospital again a bit later.
Good time for some contemplation by the Lake of No-Do…
Yes. It is…
Tragically, I also received the news yesterday that my dear friends E&D lost their beautiful daughter… I’m heartbroken for them, for us all. She was an angel who looked into one with the eyes of God.
My contemplative spirit is rather like a troubled horse this morning.
What should I know?
Rest remains in order, this morning. Rest, to assimilate what you are seeing, sensing and experiencing. And to be a strong anchor on this plane.
And how shall I rest?
With some pleasant distraction…

[2 hours later] Feeling considerably more recharged after watching some of the hypnobirthing instruction videos, and then… catching sight of some videos about today’s full moon and partial lunar eclipse, happening from 19.43h on Tues 16th July to 01.17h on Wed 17th July (maximum eclipse: 10.30h today)! WHAT A TIME TO BE GIVING BIRTH!
Notes from Melanie Beckler’s video on the July Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 16 July 19 (Youtube 11jul19):
- ONE: Transformation. Culmination of the present eclipse cycle; influx to align with and align with more of the divine truth of you – by letting go of fears, blockages… Simultaneously see: A) the big picture/mission/dreams for your live AND B) where you are now in terms of limitations and draining habits/fears playing out in the present [Yes: scared v sacred!] Opportunity: you can accomplish what your heart/spirit are revealing to you, no matter where you have been or what you’ve experienced in the past – clear and release those old fears/limitations, love and nurture and heal your and past. The universe is conspiring with you/us to raise the frequency, to blossom. Leave space for the possibility of the voice of your soul/internal self being the prominent voice. (YES!)
- TWO: Release. Shake up. Clear. Sacral/root chakras. Core wounds. Past trauma. Insecurities. Transmute. Ancestral/family clearing of trauma. Healing old family divine male/female patterning… Stay neutral. Breathe. ‘What is this revealing to me?’ Fill yourself up with light. Call in the violet flame of transformation.
- THREE: Neutrality in the present moment. Allowing strong emotions to pass through like a storm. It’s a watery time. Let emotions circulate through. Ask what the unconscious emotional needs are? (eg. No-Do) Observe…
- FOUR: Go inward to the heart centre. Heart unlocks and energy can open, and then you can embody more of your higher self. Strands of light entering in. Voice of fear is no longer overriding – your higher self knows your heart’s desires are possible.
- FIVE: Revelations. Downloads. Flashes. Ahas… may appear at this time. Inner voice of inner wisdom – let it be prominent in your life. [YES] Let fear sit in the backseat, and divine self take centre stage.
Beautiful. Ty Melanie!
So, dear Higher Self, what is your advice to me today on this Lunar Eclipse day as my beautiful sister brings forward new life?
Remember the line of recent dialogues: ‘Embrace discomfort; attain mastery’? This is the motif for today. S is embracing her discomfort and birthing her precious child. You will learn a great deal from watching her later today, and syncing your heartfelt breath and movement with her. Know that the planets move with and through the woman in labour. Recognise how the heavens surge to make the woman a channel of Creation. Honour that witnessing. Yours is not to ‘do’ or ‘achieve’ today, but to bear witness. Let your blessed sister bear the beloved child; you will bear witness.
And what does it mean to bear witness?
Here it means to stand close, unflinchingly, mirroring back to the woman that magnificence which you see in her.
I need the strength of the ages within me today, please.
Remember, you know what to do.
Bear witness.
Bear witness from a heart-centred place of no remorse, no regret, no retelling of histories… but a complete attention to, and awareness of the present. This is a moment of the aligning of stars. Souls can attune to their highest selves on a day like today. Without a doubt, the heavens are aligning today. Withhold not your highest love.
Attune, align, bear witness. Oh God, free me from past losses, sadnesses, lamentations. Ah………………. I see………………….. That is why I recoiled a fraction from meeting this moment. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I have mid-wifed before… God bless all souls. God bless all beings. I raise my self up to you oh my Lord. Protect my beautiful sister and her beautiful child. Hold us. Hold us. Hold us in your merciful, loving hands. May the angels of the ages gather about us now.
Embrace the discomfort fully, so that the release can occur and the new life be born.
I am bearing witness
*****
Getting ready to leave for the hospital, and I learn of the death yesterday of a dear old friend (KL) by suicide. Oh Lord. Raise us up. Hold us. Bear witness to this planet and hear its mighty cry. May those who enter now come in with the songs of angels at their heels. Amen.
