Summer Solstice
The Summer Solstice on June 21, 2021 marks the period in which the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky and marks the longest day of the year. The Summer Solstice, also known as Lithia, is a widely celebrated day through meditations and rituals to honor “The Light”.
The Summer Solstice is a day when the Earth is filled with the most amount of light and because light is a healing energy this is a very transformational and healing time. Specifically, Solar Light, or what one could consider to be “Divine Light”. It is the light past the sun and helps to make up the sun’s light. It’s the light that we are all connected to. The Soul Plane, etc. enters strongly into our Earth realm and we can call upon and use this light for our highest good and the highest good of all.
Light is extremely beneficial to the well-being of our collective bodies (physical, mental, emotional, mental, spiritual). We can call upon Solar Light and work with its energy whenever we need it. We can also work with Solar Light during the changes of the season to transform and transmute energy. To learn more about Solar Light, here is a great resource.
Personally, I see this as a time when we are closest to Source, to the Divine Plane, to All Souls, God, Universe, whatever word you like to use. How can you work with this energy on Sunday June 21 to connect to a higher level of consciousness? How can you take an area in your life and shed some light on it? Perhaps you are working with the ending of a relationship and instead of feeling hurt, bitter, or angry, you see that the relationship has run its course. You and this other person have been mirrors and teachers for one another and now you take the lessons and move forward. Bless and release and take the lessons from the past to use in the present.
As a collective, where can we take the darkness that we encounter and transmute it into light and remember the reality that we live in, that we perceive is a reflection of what is going on in the inside of us. Where can you shed some healing light at this time? What has been triggering you? Remember, healing (like all things) is cyclical and when we heal one layer, there is another one waiting for us. The power lies within our pain if we are brave enough to face our darkness and bring it to the light.
The summer months always feel like a time of limitless potential; the days are longer in light and the nights are shorter and we are filled with enthusiastic energy to explore, play, and overall experience a carefree attitude towards life.
Summer is a time of growth and expansion and with the Saturn-Uranus square assisting us through 2021, our potentials are truly limitless. We just endured one of the most challenging years of our lives. One in which we were separated from one another and the divide between us couldn’t have been felt louder. It’s comforting to know that the fear we have all been immersed into seems to be lightening up a bit and during this Summer Solstice use it as an opportunity to remind us that we are all connected to one source, Light.
As we re-emerge into the world we step into somewhat of a blank slate. The potential for how we create and move about the new world is limitless. A great way to do this is by expanding through your heart center.
What is your heart center? Exactly where it sounds. At the center of your chest. Your heart center houses your heart chakra. The heart generates the most power out of any other organ in the body, even more than the brain!
In so many other cultures the heart is considered the brain. In our culture we tend to nourish a battle between the head and the heart. We think too much and feel too little or we feel too much and don’t think out our next moves in a strategic manner. We have completely segregated the two.
We are being asked to drop into our heart center, to soften this space that may have turned a bit solid due to fear. We are asked to lead with our hearts in all that we create, in all of our interactions so that we may truly connect with one another as was originally intended, from a space of unconditional love, compassion, and higher consciousness.
