Eclipse Energy is Transformative!

Chinese astronomical tradition understood a lunar eclipse through the relationship of yin and yang: the Moon, associated with yin, appeared temporarily obscured or besieged, signaling a disturbance in the natural alternation of Heaven and Earth. Folk ritual responded through “rescuing the Moon” (救月, jiù yuè)—beating drums, gongs, and other objects to drive away the mythical creature consuming the Moon.

For personal practice, an eclipse can be approached as a time of stillness, inwardness, and transformation rather than fear. Sit quietly, regulate the breath, reduce speech and unnecessary activity, and conserve qi by simplifying food, desires, and emotional agitation. Avoid unnecessary conflict and, if possible, postpone major decisions or undertakings. Most importantly, observe rather than resist: allow yin to deepen and yang to return in its own time. The eclipse offers a natural image of Daoist transformation—what is obscured is not necessarily lost; concealment becomes transformation, and transformation becomes return.

Wow! Even the visibility in Cottonwood is poor!

The wall of dust that rolled through the Valley on August 3 earned its place in the record books!

According to ASU's School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning, the storm produced a dust concentration of 6,136 micrograms per cubic meter. That's the second highest reading ever recorded here, trailing only the legendary July 5, 2011 haboob that swept across Phoenix.

Cottonwood's air quailty this morning is pretty bad! Protect your Lungs!

THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2026 - Today's blowing dust has the Phoenix metro's air quality sitting at Unhealthy to Hazardous levels this morning.

Conditions ease up some throughout the day, but if you or someone you know has asthma, COPD, or other respiratory concerns, it's worth limiting outdoor time today.

Come join us in Cottonwood!

Join us this Friday the 31st for complementary ear seeds and snacks at our VOC location (31 Bell Rock Plaza Suite D). Mother Willow Healing will be offering a free yoga class for first time clients at 5:30. Community supporting Community!!! Look forward to seeing you there!
