Welcome to Divine Choices with Meg.
As we embrace the arrival of summer.
And the beautiful energy of the summer solstice.
This time of year brings us some of the longest days of sunlight and graces us with its warmth and brilliance.
As we gather in the energy of the summer and these longer days.
A sacred turning point when the Sun reaches its fullest expression.
This is a time of light.
Abundance.
Growth and gratitude.
A time to honor what has blossomed within and around us.
And to welcome the possibilities still unfolding.
As we begin.
Find a comfortable position,
Whether you're seated or lying down.
Allow your hands to rest easy.
Gently close your eyes if that feels comfortable or lower your gaze.
Begin by bringing your awareness to your breath.
Without changing anything.
Simply notice how your body knows what to do.
All on its own.
The inhale.
Notice the exhale.
Feel the steady rhythm that has been carrying you through every season of your life.
Now gently begin to deepen your breathing.
Inhale through your nose slowly for a count of four.
1,
2,
3,
4,
Holding at the top for 2,
Now exhale through your mouth for six.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Again,
Inhale for four.
Holding at the top for two.
Exhale everything out for six through your mouth.
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Allow your shoulders to soften.
Allow your jaw to relax.
Allow the muscles around your eyes to release.
Let's try one more time.
Inhale deeply for four.
Drawing in the warmth and vitality of the summer solstice.
And hold at the top.
Exhale completely through your mouth.
Releasing anything you no longer need to carry.
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Let it all go.
Now,
As your breathing settles into a natural rhythm,
Imagine yourself standing in a beautiful summer meadow.
Bathed in golden light.
The air is warm.
The earth beneath you feels steady and supportive.
You're grounded.
Above you,
The sun shines brightly.
Not harsh.
But lovingly.
Offering its light.
To all things without any condition.
Feel those golden rays touching the crown of your head.
And flowing down your face.
You're not.
Your shoulders.
Visualize it over your chest.
Your arms.
That golden light touching your belly.
Your hips.
Your legs.
And finally to your feet.
With every breath.
Imagine this golden light filling every cell of your body.
You are connected to the same energy that nourishes the trees.
The flowers.
Ocean and the stars.
Now take a slow breath in.
And as you exhale,
Silently repeat.
I welcome the light within me.
And exhale.
Inhale.
I welcome the light within me.
Exhale.
Inhale,
I am growing into my fullest expression.
Exhale.
Inhale,
I trust the timing of my life.
Exhale.
Feel these words settling deeply into your heart.
For the summer solstice,
It's a reminder that growth is not something we force.
Growth happens naturally when we receive what nourishes us.
Take a moment now to reflect on something that has flourished in your life over the past year.
Perhaps it's a relationship.
A dream.
A lesson.
A strength you have discovered within yourself.
See it clearly.
Honor it.
Celebrate it.
Breathing gratitude for all that has brought you to this moment.
As you inhale,
Repeat silently.
I am grateful for all that has grown.
And as you exhale,
I release the need to rush.
Once again,
Inhale.
I am grateful for all that has grown.
And exhale,
I release the need to rush.
Now imagine the sunlight gathering at the center of your heart.
A radiant golden glow warm Study.
Alive.
This is your inner light.
It has always been there.
Even in times of uncertainty.
Even in seasons of challenge.
Take a deep breath in and silently affirm,
My Light Is Enough.
Exhale.
Inhale,
I am worthy of abundance.
Exhale.
Inhale,
I honor my journey.
Exhale.
Inhale I welcome new possibilities.
Exhale.
Feel these affirmations expanding through your entire being.
The sun and the solstice is both a celebration and a reminder.
After the longest day comes the gradual return to darkness.
And yet darkness is not something to fear.
It is where wisdom deepens.
Where seeds prepare for future growth.
Trust the cycles of your life.
Trust the seasons within you.
There is nothing you need to force.
Nothing you need to prove.
Start to bring your awareness back to your heart.
Off for yourself.
These final blessings.
Repeat silently.
May I walk forward with courage.
May I trust my inner light.
May I welcome abundance with gratitude.
May I share my gifts freely.
May I honor the sacred seasons of my life.
Take one final deep breath in.
Feel the warmth of the summer,
Feeling your energy.
Filling you with energy,
Joy and possibilities.
And exhale slowly.
When you're ready.
Gently bring your awareness back.
Start to wiggle your fingers and toes.
Allow your awareness to return to the room you're in.
Gently begin to open your eyes.
Carry this solstice and this sunlight with you not only today but in all the days ahead.
The light is within you.
It always has been.
And it always will be.
Thank you for showing up for yourself today.
Namaste.
