It's
the SUMMER SOLSTICE (and winter for my friends in the southern
hemisphere) that is the longest day and shortest night of the year. This
happens precisely at 1:04 AM ET when the sun is at zero degrees Cancer
making the day infused with powerful energy. It's been celebrated for
centuries to revere nature and is a magical vibration to connect with
through taking time to commune with the elements
in whatever way works best for you. It may be that you sit in your
garden, go to the ocean or a wooded area but whatever you do, even
simply acknowledging the sky, sun and stars taps into the magnificent
power for strength, healing and manifestation. For some this is a
religious day to honor the Gods and all nature. There are two solstices a
year, summer and winter divided in the middle by two equinoxes that are
quarter points of the earth’s coordinates to the sun. As it's the point
following the spring equinox it's about life in abundance reaching a
peak after the birthing last March when life began again. It’s marks
realization of what one has accumulated and the fruition of these last
months. You may have gained monetarily or otherwise yet there is always
the spiritual journey to recognize and realize. Regardless of what’s
happened, easy or difficult there is the spirits refinement as a result
of experience. It’s not always clear or simple to decipher though this
is a day to ask for answers and to have/receive/manifest peace with it
all. There is an answer even if veiled. An affirmation I wrote for today
is: “I accept all abundance and what I’ve garnered thus far in my life
and I receive divine revelation that brings peace. I honor my
experiences that connect me closer to God.” If you say this I hope it
gives you a sense of calm and strength. Today is, in a way, a day of
rest, a kind of Sunday when ones honors the spirit and taking time to
settle.
