Eclipse Season as Dreamtime: Interruptions That Awaken

Eclipses are cosmic interruptions. They cut into the ordinary rhythm of sunlight and moonlight, reminding us that the flow of life is not as linear or predictable as we imagine. In the same way, awakenings often arrive as interruptions: a crisis, a revelation, a dream that won’t let you go.

Meditation: Cultivating Presence and Mindfulness

Meditation is the ancient practice of returning to the present moment through breath and focused awareness. It is where we connect with our Truth—what the Yoga Sutras call Satya, or truth with a capital T.
