Harness The Solstice Energy For Gratitude & Peace

This practice is a pause to tune into the solar cycle and harness the solstice energy for gratitude and peace. You will connect with solar energy through a breathing technique and find gratitude for all the ways the sun enables life on earth.

Suitable for both summer and winter solstices (both hemispheres), and for people of all spiritual persuasions, or none.

This meditation was originally a Daily Insight and 10- and 20- minute versions will be released very soon.

Transcript

Hello and welcome.

My name is Kasiah Gibbons.

I'm one of the teachers here on Insight Timer.

Today I'm very excited to share with you a solstice themed meditation.

Today is the June solstice,

And so a really good day to connect into the solar cycle and solar energy.

So allow yourself to become comfortable,

Sitting if you can in an upright posture,

With your spine straight.

A posture which allows you to breathe easily.

And it's a good time to let go now of any sounds which are happening around you.

Any thoughts which may be drifting through your head.

Allow them to pass you by.

Today we're going to be working with an energy centre which is located in your belly.

About two finger widths below your belly button,

And a third of the way in,

Round about where your centre of gravity is.

So if you like,

You can start to sense into that energy centre now.

Just noticing how you feel in that area.

And now send your attention out in the direction of the sun.

Wherever it is in the sky,

Be it above or below the horizon.

Allow your attention to extend now to that star at the centre of our solar system.

And welcome into your awareness all the strong fiery energy of the sun.

So you might become aware of the quality of light it gives off.

The colour of the sunlight.

You might even be able to feel its warmth.

And on your next in-breath,

Imagine that you are breathing in the energy of the sun.

And that it is reaching that energy centre in your belly.

And you might even want to visualise the golden or orange light of the sun arriving in your belly as you breathe in.

And as you breathe out,

Imagine that you are breathing from the very centre of your being,

Outwards towards the sun.

Exchanging energy with this great solar being.

And allow that flow of energy to build.

Noticing that it is a flow.

So that it might be different each time you breathe from the sun to your belly and back out again.

And when you are ready,

You can release your visualisation and come back to the room.

Checking in with your posture.

Opening your ears to the sounds around you.

Opening your eyes if they have been closed.

Acknowledging yourself for taking the time to meditate on this solstice day.

Thank you for sharing this practice with me today.
