Welcome to this reclaiming your power summer solstice meditation.

Solstice derived from the Latin words for the sun and to stand still.

Today marks the one day in our year when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.

It's a day when our environment is returning to its highest brightest light and it's calling us to do the same within ourselves.

Solstice reminds us that regardless of any day to day monadny or struggles or even traumas that there is always light.

Awakening and transformation is always there for us and this isn't just any light.

This isn't a solitary candle attempting to illuminate some vast darkness.

This isn't a far-off light at the end of a tunnel.

This is fire.

All powerful,

Unstoppable,

Epic fire energy and it's already yours.

It exists already in each of us and solstice is here to ask you to claim it.

This is a time to fully step into your passion,

Follow what moves you,

Commit only to what aligns with you and your purpose and turn away from what doesn't serve you without apology.

Allow your fire to burn away that that's blocking you and to clear the path for new growth.

Everything is illuminated today and your power can no longer be confined by the things or relationships that you've outgrown.

As of right now,

This very moment,

You are no longer able to make yourself small for the comfort of others.

So let's get in touch with our inner fire and allow and observe the messages of whatever bubbles up.

Begin by sitting comfortably.

Back is upright,

Face and jaw are relaxed.

Let's settle in and gently close our eyes.

Inhale deeply through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

Let's breathe into our solar plexus chakra right above the belly button for one,

Two,

Three,

Four and then fully empty the lungs for one,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

Seven,

Eight.

Again,

Inhale fully filling the lungs and breathing into the solar plexus chakra for one,

Two,

Three,

Four and fully exhaling extending the outward breath for one,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

Seven,

Eight.

Keep breathing in this pattern for five counts.

One,

We feel the body relaxing.

Two,

We begin to feel a physical lightness.

Three,

Releasing all tension.

Four,

Allowing our hearts and minds to drift towards stillness.

Five,

We are deeply relaxed.

Imagine yourself on a beach walking along the shoreline towards a vibrant fiery sunset.

Your focus is captured by the vast and deep colors of the landscape in front of you.

You decide to rest and observe for a moment and take a seat on the warm sand.

Feeling the warmth of the fading sunlight all around you.

Feeling deeply relaxed,

You imagine yourself becoming lighter and lighter.

Almost as if you're now floating gently along the shore.

Approaching all that you're observing with a sense of openness and curiosity.

Keep relaxing into your inward breath and extending the exhale.

Relaxing on the inhale,

Extending the exhale.

Continue breathing in this pattern.

As we keep relaxing into our breathing,

You notice the light and warmth all around you.

Gently separating you from the stresses of daily life.

As you're drifting,

You sense that you are feeling weightless,

Free of any weight that you've been carrying.

Feeling your entire physical self transforming into pure light.

As if the sun's light is passing through you and surrounding you.

As you travel further,

You notice a curve in the shoreline.

The sun's light,

Still warm,

Is starting to darken slightly as it begins to set further.

Around the curve,

You notice ahead of you a vision of yourself.

This vision is radiating pure light.

Goodness,

Love,

Power.

This vision is epic.

You see only your extraordinary brilliance,

Your gifts,

Your abilities,

Your capacity for acceptance and love and inspiring positive change.

Allow yourself to recognize this vision as your highest self and observe the pure power emanating from your highest self.

How do you describe this highest self?

Your most connected,

Intuitive layer.

Your most powerful,

Extraordinary version of you.

Wise,

Radiant possibly,

Truth,

Peaceful,

Powerful,

Accomplished,

Fierce,

Abundant.

Now is the time to reacquaint yourself with this version of you.

You step towards this light-filled being and combine this energy with your own.

Feel this integration and realize and claim this light energy as yours.

And now that you've met and integrated your higher self,

Envision yourself embodying these qualities throughout your day.

As situations arise,

Pause before you respond.

Check in and ask yourself,

How would the highest,

Most wise,

Powerful version of yourself respond?

What would your response be if you came only from your place of power,

Of love and self-care?

And if pausing in this way is a challenge at first,

Allow your descriptive words of your higher self to remind you.

Wise,

Radiant,

Truth,

Peaceful,

Powerful,

Accomplished,

Fierce,

Abundant.

How would acting from this place of power shift the dynamics?

As you consider this,

The Sun is fully setting and you begin to return to yourself,

Retracing your path down the shoreline.

You're feeling renewed,

Radiant and empowered,

Absorbing all of your learning and fire energy.

Knowing that you've shifted and that you're returning as a newer,

More powerful self-partnering version of you.

This shift is unmistakable,

So much so that people and situations that once overwhelmed you will have no choice but to change to accommodate this new you.

This is the beginning of clearing your new path and as you begin to act from this new place of deep and quiet strength,

Opportunities will begin to fill the space that's been freed by refusing to allow for what no longer serves you.

Now let's begin to bring our focus back to our bodies.

Keeping the eyes closed,

Begin to wiggle your fingers,

Feeling the sensations in your hands,

Your feet,

Your legs,

Your arms and your shoulders.

And once you feel completely settled,

You may slowly open your eyes.

Thank you for joining this practice.
