Welcome.
I'm so glad you're here.
And thank you for taking this sacred pause.
As the Earth leans into the light and the Sun reaches its peak,
We arrive at the threshold of the summer solstice,
A time of brightness,
Clarity,
And inner illumination.
So wherever you are right now,
Allow this moment to be just for you.
It's a gentle space to reflect,
To breathe,
And to honor your own sacred light.
So take a slow,
Deep breath in and a soft,
Easy breath out.
Just allow your body to settle,
To soften,
To release,
And allow your heart to open.
And gently close your eyes in your comfy position.
And just receive.
The summer solstice is more than a change in season.
It's an invitation.
It's a beautiful opportunity to align with nature's rhythm and listen to your own inner flame.
Your inner light.
So,
What light have you been tending in yourself lately?
What's blooming in your spirit?
And what parts of you are beginning to rise,
To open,
To shine?
You don't need to have all the answers,
But just be here now in this present moment.
Just be present with yourself and let your breath guide you deeper into this reflection.
So,
Let's take a few conscious breaths together.
This is a simple practice just to open your heart and soften your body.
If you feel comfortable,
Place one hand gently over your heart and the other over your belly.
Now,
Feel the warmth of your own touch.
Feel your heartbeat.
Breathe in slowly through your nose.
And feel the breath rise into the space beneath your hands.
Now,
Breathe out gently through your mouth,
Letting your shoulders soften,
Letting something go.
Inhale,
Welcome in light and clarity.
And exhale,
Releasing what you no longer need.
To carry.
Let's take three more cycles.
Inhale,
Open and receive.
Exhale,
Soften.
Inhale,
Expand.
Exhale,
Ground.
And one more breath.
Inhale into your beautiful heart space.
And exhale with a gentle sigh,
Letting it all settle.
You are safe here.
You are open.
You are ready.
Gently bring your awareness back to your heart center and just imagine a soft golden light glowing within you.
It's like the early morning sun rising gently over the horizon.
And with each breath you take,
Feel this light growing a little brighter.
Now feel it expand,
Spreading through your chest,
Your shoulders,
Your arms.
Let this beautiful morning sun warm your belly.
Soften your hips.
And let this light flow all the way down to your toes.
Now just imagine it rising again through your throat,
Your face,
The crown of your head until you are completely surrounded in this soft,
Radiant glow.
This is your light.
It's not something you have to create,
But it is something you already are.
You really are made of warmth,
Of energy,
Of kindness,
Of soul.
So in this moment,
Simply rest in the glow of your being and know that you are whole.
You are enough.
And you are one of one.
There really is no other like you.
So just feel the truth of these words settle gently into your being.
Beautiful.
Now receive this blessing.
It is a gift from this season.
From the summer solstice and from your own heart.
May you honor the light within you,
Even when the world grows noisy.
May your heart bloom in its own time.
May you trust your seasons,
Your cycles of growth and rest,
Expansion and retreat.
May joy find you in small places.
May you laugh freely,
Love gently,
And walk in the beauty,
The beauty of life.
And may this solstice awaken in you a deep remembering.
You are sacred.
You are bright.
You are alive and deeply loved.
Just take a moment to receive the words and the feelings from this summer solstice blessing.
Breathe gently now.
Feel your body grounded and your spirit quietly radiant.
As the sun shines in the sky,
May you feel that same warmth shining within.
And may you carry this glue with you into the days ahead.
Not as a task or a goal,
But as a quiet truth that lives in your heart.
Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you so much for being you.
With love and light,
Namaste,
My friend.
