Solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, its a season of festivities, love and play; we want these summer nights to stay forever, yet now the tide turns, the nights begin to override the delicious sun, the earth wants us to come home and draw in. The question is will we surrender and accept this to fully alchemise all we have learned providing a soulful autumn?
How can “soul”stice support me?
Listen to the earth, feel its vibrancy and fertile nature, knowing it is a reflection of you. As we are just over the half way point, you can take this time to recognise where you are, what you have learned and perhaps what you haven’t achieve yet in 2024. Thankfully there are still plenty of long days where you can explore, travel and meet the aliveness of the world; so whilst the sun is so giving, offering its fire to you, utilise her to establish stability within your own inner fire and begin to make new plans for the months of change that lay ahead.
The power of solstice
Set yourself a task to use these additional moments of light to alchemise your life, remember that each moment is so giving in nature, what could you do with it to transform yourself? Perhaps.
Write a list of gratitude for all you have experienced this year,
Bring stillness into these moments as you bask in the plentiful nature of the sun,
Sing or chant to connect with the earth,
My favourite dance! Dance until the early hours welcoming the darkness with full knowing that it too brings its own wisdom,
Write a letter of detachment to all you’d like to leave behind.
Bridging into the new phase
This moment is a bridge, moving from light into dark. When we welcome the dark we can enjoy the fullness of the void and the treasures it brings. For me, it is a time of deepening, without external distraction I became a published author through the winter, I enjoy the slow ritual of cooking hot stews and the quietness of my own space which brings fruits of new ideas that I was unable to hear in the buzzzzzing of summer. It can also be a time to rewire your subconscious mind, reestablishing a self love with yourself, being with you, holding your own love with curiosity, remembering that everything was birthed from the dark.
The alchemy
It is in the choosing it. This Solstice, I’m holding an online meditation for those wishing to collectively harness their self-love and intuitive wisdom connected to the earth. With presence, honouring self and nature we can live in assumption that our asks are heard. I am blessed to be able to visit the beautiful stone henge this Solstice, with a sacred community, the power of these ancient stones vibrate such a frequency that you simply leave held; wherever you are listen to the earth and her guidance she wants for you.
Autumn arrival
Whatever wisdom you receive, feel the richness of it. I am holding an online course to provide a structure of integrity for your goals. You can find all information online. Wishing you a soulful “soul”stice.
The time is now
The time is now.
