Welcome,
Dear one,
To this sacred moment.
Take a deep breath in,
And gently release.
Arrive right here,
Right now.
Let the outer world soften.
Let your body settle into stillness,
And your spirit expand into presence.
This is a time of light.
A time of fullness.
A time of celebration.
You are standing at the gateway of the summer solstice.
A turning point of the year.
When the sun lingers longest in the sky,
And the earth offers her gifts in vibrant bloom.
Let your breath soften.
Let it deepen.
Let your awareness drop into your body.
Your living temple.
Feel the warmth of the sun,
Even if it's only in your mind's eye.
A golden light above you,
Soft and radiant.
Reaching down like a blessing.
Imagine yourself in a field at the height of summer.
The air is warm.
It's kissed by the sun.
Around you,
Wildflowers sway in a soft breeze.
Bees hum gently in the background.
The scent of summer grasses,
Warm earth,
And blossoms fills your senses.
You sit or lie down on the soft ground.
Welcomed by the earth beneath you,
Supported,
Held,
Loved.
Above you,
The sun shines in full glory.
It is not harsh,
But healing.
It does not burn,
But nourishes.
Feel the golden light pour down from the sun,
Touching the crown of your head.
Filling your mind with clarity and warmth.
Washing away doubt and worry.
Let the light move through your throat.
Clearing your voice,
Your truth,
Your song.
Let it travel down to your heart,
Illuminating your deepest desires,
Igniting your joy,
Your love,
Your gratitude.
Allow the light to continue downward.
Yes,
Allow the light into your solar plexus,
Where your power resides.
Feel it glow brighter.
This is your inner sun.
Alive,
Courageous,
Abundant.
As the light continues to your womb or your sacral center,
It touches your creativity,
Your flow,
Your connection to life.
Then down to the root,
Your anchor,
Your foundation.
The golden light meets the red flame within you.
Earth and sun joining in harmony.
You are lit from within.
You are the sun.
You are the wildflower.
You are the golden light.
The golden hour of the year.
Now feel into what you are ready to celebrate.
What has blossomed for you this year?
What light do you carry that you are ready to shine more boldly?
Take a moment in silence.
Let the answers rise.
Now softly bring your hands to your heart.
Whisper to yourself,
I honor my growth.
I celebrate my light.
I open to the abundance of this moment.
I am aligned with the rhythms of life.
Let this affirmation echo through you.
When you are ready,
Imagine a gentle circle of golden light in your heart.
Surrounding you,
A protective,
Empowering field.
You carry this warmth,
This clarity,
This joy into the days ahead.
And when the seasons turn,
You will remember.
The light lives in you always.
Take a final deep breath in,
And a long,
Releasing exhale.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
And come back slowly.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Welcome back.
Blessed Summer Solstice.
