Pearl Wisdom & Devotional Bliss Under the Pisces Eclipse

from The Vital Goddess · host Dianne Shepherd

There is a powerful Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces inviting us to release the mind from having to know the way—and surrender into a deeper kind of intelligence.Bliss intelligence.With the Sun, Mercury and South Node gathered in Virgo and Uranus in Gemini creating an electric tension around this eclipse, we’re being invited to loosen our grip on overthinking, overanalyzing and the compulsion to figure ourselves out.Our minds are brilliant.But perhaps the mind was never meant to lead us into mystery.In this episode, I explore a different invitation inspired by Joseph Campbell’s famous words, “Follow your bliss”.What if we don’t need to follow our bliss?What if we can simply be in our bliss?Rather than turning bliss into another quest, we can become sensitive to the subtle current of pleasure, aliveness, radiance and love that is already moving through the body.Because bliss isn’t something we need to chase.Bliss is a pathway into Love.And this brings us to one of my favorite feminine symbols and practices: Pearl Wisdom.The pearl offers such a beautiful metaphor for women in Second Spring. A pearl forms layer by layer—and those layers don't obscure her radiance.The layers create her luster.What if aging isn't the gradual loss of our radiance, but the deepening of our luster?We aren't here to recover the glow of the woman we were at 25.Hell no. 😉We're discovering the luminosity of the woman we've become through all of our living, loving, losing, creating, grieving, desiring and becoming.In this episode, we explore:the deeper invitation of the Pisces Full Moon Lunar Eclipsereleasing the mind from having to know the waybliss as a spiritual practice and pathway into LovePearl Wisdom and the power of embodied pleasurewhy the layers of our lives can deepen rather than diminish our lusterSecond Spring as an invitation into a new kind of radiancedescending into the body rather than searching for the sacred somewhere outside ourselvesreconnecting with the subtle intelligence, luminosity and pleasure already within us🌹 Pearl Wisdom RitualI created a fresh Pearl Wisdom Meditation to accompany this episode—a simple sensual ritual to help you breathe into your inner pearl, reconnect with your innate luminosity and experience devotional bliss as a pathway into Love.Download your Pearl Wisdom Ritual here.🌹 Enter the TempleIf this exploration speaks to something deep within you and you'd love to experience more sensual ritual, embodiment and sacred feminine practice, I would love to welcome you into the Vital Goddess Mastery Temple.Our Fall semester begins next week.Learn more about Vital Goddess Mastery hereWith love,Dianne 🌹
