Jakson Pearl Wisdom & Devotional Bliss Under the Pisces Eclipse täydellinen litterointi

the very wee hours of the 28th. 00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:04.719 But again, depending on where you are in that portal, but I feel this moon energy, whether it's new moon or full moon, is really active for a few days before and after even. 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:10.240 So we have this whole portal to be feeling into this um, this energy. 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:16.319 And we just had our solar eclipse in with the new moon in Leo, the total eclipse, and that was pretty powerful. 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.560 I had some friends that actually traveled to Europe so they could actually see it, which was so cool. 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.080 You know, got some pictures. 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:30.000 Um, but yeah, that was a powerful one as well to really help us release what's what's been obscuring our radiance. 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.360 And um, so this has a similar theme, I think. 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:45.919 I'll go into why I think that, but um, eclipses in general can be really powerful invitations to to do some inner work, to do a deep dive inner work that will support us long term. 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.280 That's the way I like to look at it. 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.039 I know some astrologers like to talk about eclipses as very um chaotic, perhaps. 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.680 And, you know, sometimes they can be for sure. 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:57.919 They can bring in things that we didn't see coming. 00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:00.479 It could be a bit of a wild card, if you will. 00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.039 But I think it's nice to be prepared, right? 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:18.319 If you kind of have this on the back burner of the energy at hand, it's going to help you navigate it a lot more successfully, and you'll just be like, oh yeah, and get the most out of it, really, because it is a beautiful invitation to support you. 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.519 So again, the full moon lunar eclipse coming up in the sign of Pisces. 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:39.279 I've been sitting with this for a while now, for a few days, because it just feels like such a powerful invitation that I think so many of us are deeply craving right now and have been craving for quite some time. 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:44.319 And it does connect, I think, to the themes of our solar eclipse and the new moon and Leo. 00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.560 And that is to release the mind. 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:55.279 I'm talking about the analytical logical mind from having to know the way. 00:04:55.759 --> 00:05:02.399 We are so hyper-focused on our logical mind that we completely forget we have this other way of using our mind, right? 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:10.879 The magical mystical realm is what I'm talking about, which we all have access to, but we've just been conditioned to, you know, disconnect from it. 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.920 So this full moon in Pisces, the sign, the water sign of mysticism. 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.519 Oh, I love Pisces. 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.680 Mysticism, surrender. 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.079 It's about the oceanic realms, ecstasy. 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:35.759 It's very much about devotional bliss and ecstasy, and our very human and soulful longing to dissolve into something larger than ourselves. 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.680 So, this is about, in many ways, I feel like the highest octave of love. 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:44.560 And um, what a beautiful thing. 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:57.680 Let's just take a moment to breathe that in, feeling that kind of sparkly, magical, kind of mermaid, mermaid-ish Piscean energy of this full moon. 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:04.079 And also under this moon, right across from the moon, of course, the sun and moon are opposite each other on a full moon. 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:08.480 We have our sun just freshly moved into the sign of Virgo. 00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.279 She's moving in on the 22nd, I believe. 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.920 And this is the sign of the priestess. 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.160 So very devotional and very much about ritual. 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:28.800 Very much about like what are the practices, what are the rituals that truly support us to embody more love, is the way I like to look at it. 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:34.480 And that Sun and Virgo is very close, like cheek to cheek with Mercury, right? 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.199 The planet of communication and thinking and logic and all of those things, and also the south node, right? 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:50.879 So, and there's also a very tight square from the planet Uranus, who, which is like the liberator, right, wants us to break free. 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.399 And this is where some kind of abrupt energy might come in. 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.800 Like you didn't see that one coming, that kind of energy. 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.360 So we have Uranus and Gemini squaring this full moon, right? 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:23.199 Creating this kind of almost electric tension around this eclipse to, I believe, kind of release, you know, the the overthinking, over-analytical, over-logical mind and surrender more into bliss and universal love. 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:31.199 And I think it's a really beautiful timing here to like let go of the need to figure everything out. 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:41.839 Now, I love the mind, uh, our minds are brilliant, but sometimes it could certainly get in the way of some of the deeper truths that we're here to explore. 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:52.879 And perhaps this eclipse is inviting us to release the mind from all of that ultra responsibility because there is another kind of intelligence available to us. 00:07:53.040 --> 00:08:00.160 And quite often we just we've just obscured it with our modern ways of how we do life. 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:06.240 And we certainly don't access that other kind of intelligence by thinking harder. 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:16.319 We access it by allowing ourselves to actually settle in to the

bliss that already resides within us. 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:31.439 This is bliss intelligence and becoming quiet enough, the mind, let the mind become quiet enough so that we can receive the wisdom and the presence that that experience of bliss can bring. 00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:38.559 So there's a quote by Joseph Campbell that I've always loved, and I'm sure you've heard it many times, follow your bliss, right? 00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:42.720 It's it's um very wise and very powerful, and I love it. 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:47.919 But lately I've been really wondering like, what if we don't really need to follow our bliss? 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.919 It kind of insinuates that, you know, we have to be on a quest, right? 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:57.200 And maybe we don't need to be on another quest of like chasing bliss in a sense. 00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.159 Like, where is it? 00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.279 Where is my bliss? 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:00.799 What should I be doing? 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.120 Where is my bliss trying to lead me? 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:05.679 You know, it can lead us back into the logical mind. 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:12.559 Before we know it, we're back in our heads trying to figure out our bliss and kind of micromanage, in a sense, our bliss, right? 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.759 Are you with me? 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:21.279 So I've been playing with like a different kind of invitation here, just letting ourselves be in our bliss. 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:27.360 Like, what if bliss isn't something you know out there waiting for us to find it, right? 00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.039 We don't have to find bliss. 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:38.960 What if there's this subtle current of aliveness, pleasure, radiance, and love, well bliss, right? 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:40.799 Already moving through the body. 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:44.000 And I truly have experienced that there is. 00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:50.240 And the spiritual practice is becoming sensitive enough to feel it. 00:09:50.960 --> 00:10:00.000 We don't have to chase peak experiences, we're not trying to manufacture ecstasy, like make myself feel ecstatic, that kind of thing. 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.399 And we're not even asking our bliss to take us anywhere, right? 00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:10.000 Just kind of land it and be in our bliss. 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.559 And from that place, noticing what reveals itself. 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.840 I like to think of, yeah, bliss as a pathway into love. 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.399 They're interconnected, interwoven. 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:26.159 And I think this distinction matters because I'm not talking about bliss as an escape from our lives. 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:32.720 And I'm not talking about walking around in some perpetual ecstatic state where nothing difficult ever happens. 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:33.919 Absolutely not. 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:41.440 But what I am talking about is devotional bliss as a pathway

into love. 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:56.000 And when we slow down enough to feel the subtle pleasure already alive in the body, when we breathe, when we soften, when we become intimate with sensation, something begins to open. 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:20.080 And beneath all the noise of the logical mind, like all this driving and all the figuring it out and um needing to heal and needing to transform, even, there can be this incredible, very simple, but incredible experience of I'm here, I'm alive, I can feel myself, and I can feel that I am love. 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:32.799 And perhaps that's why so many ancient spiritual traditions have included practices of pleasure, breath, scent, beauty, movement, prayer, ritual, anointing. 00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:43.039 We're talking goddess culture, goddess ceremony here, because they soften the places where we've become defended and contracted, right? 00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:49.279 They bring us back into relationship with the body where all the magic happens. 00:11:49.519 --> 00:12:01.919 And they make us receptive, they give us access to our receptivity and access to an ancient truth that bliss opens us into love. 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.320 And this is where the pearl wisdom comes in. 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.720 I've been contemplating this a lot lately, just the image of the pearl. 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:13.759 And the pearl appears again and again in feminine and mystical traditions. 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:18.879 And I've been working with this image in my own practices for quite some time now. 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:25.279 And I have a meditation that I call Pearl Wisdom, where we focus on the pearl of the clitoris. 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:26.080 Yes, I said it. 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:30.480 We are sitting on this beautiful pearl, and she's the crown jewel. 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.480 Yeah, it's incredibly simple. 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:38.159 But this little part of our anatomy is just um so powerful. 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:45.120 There are over 10,000 nerve endings devoted solely to pleasure, just in this little part of our real estate. 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:58.159 And when we bring awareness into the body in this area and just breathe into this inner pearl rather than trying to make something happen, right? 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:07.200 Performative kind of thing, we begin to sense the aliveness and I would even say the intelligence of this part of the body. 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:14.000 There's a glow, there's a warmth, there's a luminosity and pleasure. 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.600 Yeah, pleasure. 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.799 But it's not like the roller coaster kind of pleasure that we're used to, right? 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:31.600 This is bringing presence into our sensuality and really experiencing a deeper realm, from my perspective, of pleasure. 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:38.320 Not the kind of pleasure where you feel like, oh, I'm overstimulated and I have to, you know, get rid of this energy or do something with this energy. 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:43.279 It's more of like a quiet, calm that you're able to sit with. 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.559 And also it's like deeply blissful, right? 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:52.799 Um, it might start subtle, but over time, with practice, it be it can become more powerful. 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:58.320 This is a very powerful part of the female anatomy and um our energetic body as well. 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:07.600 And it's such a beautiful, simple pathway into our radiance, and our pearl is always with us, and our mind is always with us, our breath is always with us. 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:18.639 So we can easily, you know, tap into this pearl wisdom once we understand how to do it, which is super simple, um, whenever we choose, as a practice. 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.840 And choice is our sovereignty. 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:35.759 So we we can choose again and again to strengthen our connection, our relationship with this pearl energy, this pearl wisdom, and strengthen our radiance and strengthen our love. 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:43.759 It's as though something inside of us that has always been luminous begins to show herself again. 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:48.720 And I just love the pearl because, you know, she doesn't need to be taught how to shine, right? 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.039 Her luminosity is intrinsic. 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:59.600 And here's another thing that I've been contemplating that feels especially powerful for women at midlife or navigating our second spring. 00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:04.799 A pearl forms layer by layer, and those layers are what creates her luster. 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:10.320 The layers don't obscure the pearl, the layers actually create the pearl. 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.519 What an incredible metaphor for midlife women, right? 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:21.600 Because we live in a culture that constantly tells women that radiance belongs to youths, that we have to chase youth. 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:25.200 Like we have to get our glow back, you know, our youthful glow. 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:32.639 We have to somehow reverse aging to look younger, become the woman you used to be, you know. 00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:37.200 Um, but I have absolutely no interest in going backward. 00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:43.120 I think there's another possibility available to us in Second Spring, and it's more powerful. 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:50.559 Like, what if aging isn't the gradual loss of our radiance, but the deepening of our luster? 00:15:50.879 --> 00:16:06.720 Because we've lived, because we've loved, because we've lost, because we've created things, we've made mistakes, we've had our hearts broken, we've experienced pleasure, grief, disappointment, beauty, rapture, rupture. 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:14.159 We've cared for others, we've given our hearts away, we've forgotten ourselves, we've gotten ourselves back again. 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.639 You know, there's a

lot of layers we're talking about here that we've accumulated. 00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:30.559 And yes, you can look at that as baggage, but I love the image of the pearl, especially when we can tune in to her bliss as a devotional bliss practice. 00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:34.879 Your pearl is a master alchemizer. 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.320 All of our layers can become a part of our radiance, right? 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.759 We aren't trying to recover the glow of the woman we were at 25. 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:42.639 Hell no. 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:49.600 We're discovering the luminosity of the woman we've become as a result of all of that living. 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.679 It's a very different kind of radiance. 00:16:52.080 --> 00:17:01.840 It has depth, it has wisdom, it has texture, it has luster, real magnetic luster. 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:03.519 And here's the thing that's so cool. 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.279 The pearl is not something outside of ourselves, up there, up in the heavens. 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:20.960 She's actually down in the depths in the ocean of our being, inside the soft body of the Yoni, which feels like such a beautiful image to be focusing on under this Pisces eclipse. 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:25.920 Because the treasure we're seeking isn't out there above us. 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.599 We don't even need to ascend towards it, right? 00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:47.200 The invitation is to descend into our breath, into sensation, into the pelvis, into the waters of the body, and into the places that we may feel disconnected and numb and discover that the pearl is still there. 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:48.799 She's still glowing. 00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:57.519 Our radiance hasn't disappeared, our bliss hasn't disappeared, our connection to love hasn't disappeared. 00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:06.160 We can just choose, make a sovereign choice to reconnect, to get into relationship with ourselves. 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:24.720 And perhaps, this is true for many women, that we've just become so busy, so stimulated, so overstimulated, so mentally occupied that we've lost the simplicity of this, of our sensitivity to the subtler realms that are so powerful. 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:25.519 Right? 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:35.440 Our pearl is just there, you know, she's waiting for us to connect, waiting for us to feel, waiting for us to remember. 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:45.039 So you so you may have heard me say this before, but ritual is my love language. 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.480 So I do have a pearl ritual for you under this full moon lunar eclipse. 00:18:52.640 --> 00:19:07.759 But it's a it's a ritual that I hope that you will return to again and again, and to really develop a beautiful, sustainable relationship with your Pearl Wisdom. 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:10.960 And um, yeah, there's a lot there. 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:20.960 There's a lot there that can really truly change your life if you again make that sovereign choice to connect and to say yes. 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.440 So you'll find that linked in the show notes, Pearl Wisdom. 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:37.519 And if this is something that really speaks to you and you would love more guidance and would love to be guided in ritual, that's again my wheelhouse is sensual ritual. 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:44.079 And uh that's what we do in my Venus school, my sacred feminine mystery school. 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.359 And we are gonna start up Wednesday. 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.200 So this is getting down to the wire now for our fall semester. 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:58.799 So if you are interested in joining us this round, I would absolutely love to invite you in to that temple. 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:06.319 All right, my love, have a beautiful full moon in Pisces lunar eclipse and shine on. 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.400 Thank you, my love, for joining me in today's episode. 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:17.920 And if something true stirred within you, that's the wisdom of your feminine speaking. 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:21.279 Lean into that, trust that. 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:51.279 And until next time, soften, breathe, and let love leaders.
