As we enter the pause between the inhale and the exhale of the Sun standing still, I wish you all a blessed and light-filled Summer Solstice โ๏ธ
After a few days of pause, when it feels like the Sun is standing still, there will be a subtle shift in the days getting shorter again. In a few days, we will start our slow descent into the darker part of the year. As soon as we step over the threshold of the Summer Solstice, the outer energy begins to wane and the inner journey begins to expand.
During this peak of the Sun's energy and daylight, we celebrate the fullness of who we are and what gifts we bring to the world just by being here, we celebrate what we have brought into the world this year, we celebrate what we have manifested. This time is like a pause between the inhale and exhale, between seen and unseen, where all the magic happens.
Whether the sun has been generous with us this week or notโ (there is more Sun and heat incoming over the next few days), we can still connect with longer days and recognise the light that is within us and the light that surrounds us and is within everyone we meet. We are all connected through this light of consciousness.
Solstice light is reflected within us and our own power is reflected in the โSolstice light.
Below are a few suggestions on how to celebrate the longest day:
โ๏ธ greet the Sun (either at the sunrise or at any point during the longest day)
โ๏ธ take a few moments standing in the Sun, feeling your feet firmly on the ground. Close your eyes and feel the powerful summer Sun shining on you. With each breath, pull the fiery, fierce Sun energy into your body, adding to your own inner fire.
โ๏ธ decorate your home with red, gold and orange colours
โ๏ธ add oak twigs to your altar
โ๏ธ gather flowers and create your own flower crown, connecting to the medicine of the flowers and plants you are using
โ๏ธ paint / bake a Sun
Wishing you all a radiant, expansive and full of light & magic time of the Midsummer.
With blessings
