Summer Solstice 2022

Every Solstice carries its own significant meaning. Today we celebrate the Summer Solstice 2022, there are two times a year when the sun reaches its maximum or minimum declination, today is when it is at its maximum. It's the first day of summer and the beginning of the Cancer season. This season is all about personal development, today is a wonderful day to make a moment and reflect on where you are or where you would like to be in 6 months.

The Summer Solstice is a time to manifest bigger goals and tune to yourself as you go deeper in your inner work, as you honour the light within. We celebrate the power of the light as we move away from the darkness. Embracing not only the light around us but tuning into our own inner light. We often forget that our light is always shining even when we feel others dim the path, no one has that control, we must harness our own light. That light is our strength, our confidence and our passion. With it, we are able to manifest and create a life that is truly filled with joy, abundance and love.

Manifesting our goals, as mentioned, starts with reflecting where we are in our lives and envisioning where we would like to be in 6 months or 12 months from now. Have you started working on your goals? Maybe you know deep down you do not know what or where you want to be, but know that where you are now is not making you happy. Begin by making a list of what you love about your life and what you would like to tweak. Now if you could add anything to your life what would it be? Job? Home? Skill? Write that down on a piece of paper. Take a moment to sit with that thought, that goal. Just breathe. Now place it somewhere special, your wallet, altar, under a crystal, on your palo santo stand or anywhere you have that comes to mind. (This can also be used if there is something you want to release in your life)

If you need help working towards your goal connecting with a life coach may be something that will help benefit you as you move towards your goals. (I’ll make a post about life coaching another day)

What are other things you can do today?

Set intentions for yourself, ones you can reflect on in 6 months.

Reflect on how you’d grown over the last 6 months.

Review intentions you set before.

Set your altar, or refresh the one you have. Use brightly colored altar cloth, add flowers, and candles (white, yellow or orange)

Connect with nature, set some time outside to go for a walk, be near water or tend to your plant.

Charge your crystals in the sun's energy.

Meditate, this can be done indoors or outdoors. You can add four candles honouring all the directions of energy (North, East, South, West)
